Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shipping After the War One of the current proposals for the control of trade after the war is a call for partial or general renewal of the old measures known as the Navigation Laws. It is commonly put in the form of a demand that after the war, as at present, no German ship shall be permitted to enter any port in the British Empire. So far as the propaganda has been organised, however, it takes a form which does not directly indicate that aim, but seems to point to action of a more far-reaching kind. On April 3rd, a deputation from the Associated Chambers of Commerce waited upon Mr. Bonar Law and Mr. Runciman, and submitted, "among other resolutions," the following: That action should be taken by the Government to amend the existing Navigation Laws under which subsidized foreign ships can make use of British ports and obtain the benefit of harbour facilities while escaping the payment of harbour dues.

We may have, as just intimated, maritime independence on the part of each country, under government control, or government Operation; or, in the second place, we may have a restoration of the conditions of competition, without the evil features of pool ing and monopoly which characterized the years before the war' or, in the third place, we may conceivably have a policy of inter nationalism in which the shipping supply of the world may by agreement be apportioned among the nations according to some principle agreed on.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ocean Trade and Shipping N der the general and very comprehensive head of Ocean Trade and Shipping come a whole host of separate industries and undertakings. Many of these, and of the rights and liabilities connected with them, have long been the subject of important treatises. To others of them, special reference may be found scattered in business publications here and there. In the case of many, however, it would be difficult to find treat ment of them anywhere. The whole, collectively, have apparently never been dealt with at all. And indeed to supply, in a single small volume, a summary of enterprises so many and so various must needs be a somewhat courageous undertaking. Still, by a process of selection, elimination and condensation, and with the kind and valuable aid of many expert business friends, I have done my best. It is of course an explanatory work, proceeding on broad lines, rather than a technical treatise. It does, however, as I hope, deal with many if not most of the subjects on which information will be useful or at any rate instructive to the naval and military officers for whom it is primarily intended. If this should prove so, I shall be content. To army officers, a knowledge of the machinery of shipping and its working must at the least be interesting, seeing that the transfer and maintenance of oversea forces involve its constant use, while in the event of war sea transport becomes for an imperial Power a military factor of the first importance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shipbuilding and Shipping Record, Vol. 6: December 23, 1915 Parliamentary pressure is being brought upon the Admiralty to take up a more generous attitude to port and harbour authorities in regard to the payment of harbour dues. Our information is to the effect that the outcome Admiralty of the negotiations and representations may not and Port be announced until after the Christmas holidays. Authorities. An Act of 1847 exempted the Admiralty from the payment of these dues in respect to His Majesty's vessels, but between exempting warships and exempting the multitude of craft which the war has brought into the service of the Crown there is a wide difference. The Admiralty has indeed offered as a matter of grace to pay 75 per cent. Of the regular payment in respect of transports and other mercantile vessels in its service, but even that is pressing the matter hardly on harbour and port authorities. Those bodies have their own obligations to fulfil. They must have adequate income if these are to be carried out satisfactorily. Thus if they received full payment on account of that part of the Admiralty ships represented by merchant vessels they would be only receiving justice. We have heard reports that the Admiralty is inclined to take another step in the direction of meeting the port authorities in regard to this dispute, and it is to be hoped that the negotiations will lead to a speedy and satis factory conclusion.

As the ship came nearer, her three decks appeared black with innumerable dots as if covered by an enormous swarm of bees, and when she passed the narrow entrance of the harbour we could see the khaki uniform and hear the sound of cheering. Cheering crowds lined the passage of, our troops, but it seemed to me that the people Showed little agitation or excitement, and that anxiety was the prevailing sentiment. News from the front there was none. No one knew where the front was. The Evening Paper, a single sheet, printed in large characters on one Side only, confined itself to recording that Liege still held out, and that General French had gone to Paris.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Freedom of Commerce in War The navy is not an ideal protector of commerce. Not only is it enormously costly, but it has other interests to serve which may prevent it from repaying to commerce in protection from the attacks of the enemy what it takes in taxation. So much is now officially admitted. In introducing the Navy Estimates for this year (1913) Mr. Churchill said in effect that the protection of commerce, though an important, was only a secondary duty of the navy. Foreign nations, he explained, were mounting guns on their merchant ships, and it was necessary that English ships should be put in a state to resist their attacks. Accordingly, he proposed to arm them and to train guncrews; and the House of Commons, except for a few questions which were parried, has allowed this remarkable development of policy to go unchallenged and unexplained. Yet the moment it is set out in the open it is exposed to a gale of objections from almost every point of the compass. It is impracticable; for the regulations of many ports forbid vessels carrying explosives to lie alongside their wharves or to enter their docks, and foreign nations have only toadopt these regulations to force shipowners to choose between abandoning their cargoes and abandoning their guns and ammunition. Secondly, evenif it were practicable it would not be efficacious. The ships that are most in need of protection are not the fast liners but the slow tramp steamers, who in the nature of things cannot all be armed. Yet to arm the liners and not the tramps would be an unfair discrimination in favour of the wealthier shipping companies and the larger ships. Moreover, it would not protect even this limited number of ships from the attacks by naval cruisers, which are most to be dreaded, and it would increase their risk of destruction if they were attacked and resisted. But there is also a third and more important objection. Even if the arming of merchantmen were practicable and effectual it would still be a dangerous and reactionary measure.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Allied Shipping Control: An Experiment in International Administration In the autumn of 1914 when the scientific study of the effects of war upon modern life passed suddenly from theory to history, the Division of Economics and History of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace proposed to adjust the programme of its researches to the new and altered problems which the War presented. The existing programme, which had been prepared as the result of a conference of economists held at Berne in 1911, and which dealt with the facts then at hand, had just begun to show the quality of its contributions; but for many reasons it could no longer be followed out. A plan was therefore drawn up at the request of the Director of the Division, in which it was proposed by means of an historical survey, to attempt to measure the economic cost of the War and the displacement which it was causing in the processes of civilization. Such an 'Economic and Social History of the World War', it was felt, if undertaken by men of judicial temper and adequate training, might ultimately, by reason of its scientific obligations to truth, furnish data for the forming of sound public opinion, and thus contribute fundamentally toward the aims of an institution dedicated to the cause of international peace. The need for such an analysis, conceived and executed in the spirit of historical research, was increasingly obvious as the War developed, releasing complex forces of national life not only for the vast process of destruction but also for the stimulation of new capacities for production. This new economic activity, which under normal conditions of peace might have been a gain to society, and the surprising capacity exhibited by the belligerent nations for enduring long and increasing loss - often while presenting the outward semblance of new prosperity - made necessary a reconsideration of the whole field of war economics. A double obligation was therefore placed upon the Division of Economics and History. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War Upon American Commerce The evidence which now comes to us from abroad would seem to indicate that there is a feeling growing up among British ship-owners that it is time to stop, if possible, the depredations of British piratic'al vessels upon American Com merce. The speeches of Mr. Thomas Baring, Mr. W. E. Forster, and Mr. Richard Cobden, in the British Parliament, published herewith, are indications of this desire, and they foreshadow the dangers to British interests hereafter, should that nation ever be involved in a war. This feeling on their part, does not, however, relieve their government from a demand which has been made upon it for remuneration for the loss of ships and cargoes owned by Amer ican citizens, and which have been ruthlessly destroyed by such British pirates as the Alabama, Florida and Georgia. Let the American Government and people keep this single and simple view of the question constantly before them, that every nation, not at war, is bound to maintain its neutrality by such laws as will prevent its own subjects from making individual war upon those of other nations. Any government omitting to do this becomes responsible for all violations of neutrality growing out of such neglect.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fight for a Free Sea The American people of today, weighed in the bal auces of the greatest armed conﬂict of all time and found not wanting, can afford to survey, in a spirit of candid scrutiny and without reviving an ancient grudge, that turbulent episode in the weld ing of their nation which is called the War of 1812. In spite of defeats and disappointments this war was, in the large, enduring sense, a victory. It was in this renewed defiance of England that the dream of the founders of the Republic and the ideals of the embattled farmers of Bunker Hill and Saratoga achieved their goal. Henceforth the world was to respect these States, not as so many colonies bitterly wrangling among themselves, but as a sovereign and independent nation.
