Kiven nie a thrill of a very spe-l cial kind, for that familiar piece ofi bunting can never fail to recall thei wonderful record ot our merchant sea- men throughout the struggle of four and R-halt years . The present volume raises the cur- tain on what I take to have been the climax of that vast drama â€"the enemy's plunge into unrestricted sub- marine warfare on our merchant ship- ping. Thus was provided the final test ot a heroism and endurance un- paralleded in history, and how magni- ficently our seamen responded to the test is to be found chronicled in thes pages. To view that record in Its proper perspective it is well to recall ! these days at the very outbreak ot ; â- war which already seem to some ot us to be almo.st lost in the mists of time.!

I The British seaman recognized that' nothing more was being asked of him j than to accept the usual hasards of a' naval conflict. It was a phase ot the â- war. in short, in which the dictates of 1 humanity were strictly regarded, and I every reasonable consideration was ' shown to the passengers and crews of; the merchants of Loridon for the pur- pose. I The principal sliortcoming In the : past in Canada's treatment of Immi- ; grants is that they have been left I largely to their own devices after their 1 arrival here, and liave been severely ! handicapped in consequence in their i efforts to establish themselves in I their new homes.

The obvious momentary relief, emi- gration, was referred to by Sir Wil- liam â- when he bespoke a welcoming hand to thore men and women of Bri- tish race who came 10 Canada to make a fresh start. "While we look for- ward confidently to the eventual res- toration of our trade, wo must recoij- nize that the necessary readjustments, the fuller reorganization of our older industries must all take time," said the speaker. "O'ar financial position is strong enough to enable us to carry on during this intermediate period but that does not help those who want employment, and I am sure that all of you in Can- ada will desire to give a helping hand to those who come here."

It was born, as need hardly be recall- er, out of those new coiwlitions ot sub- marino attack and indiscriminate mine raids to which I have referred, and it graduaHy evolved into a vast siipi)lPtnentary fleet. Hero was ludeed a medley of sin:ill vessels trawlers fresh from our Ash- ing grounds, drifters, whalers, paddle- steamers so familiar to Channel ex- cursionists, steam yachts so well known in the Solent, motor launches and motor-boats. Tl:elr hazardus dutis's were as var- ied as their types. In their long hours ot patrol they watched for and lumtod German submarines; they searched for and dragged mines: they fought hostile aircraft; they controll- ed and examined millions of tons ot shi|>;>iiig navigating the Narrow Seas; and In many other ways Rplondidly seconded the efforts pt thd Grand Fleet. Varied Indeed these craft were in type, but their crews were animated by one heart and one spirit. As time went on, this collection of shirts was welded Into a great disciplined service of 4.000 vessels wit hits operations ex- tending as far north as the While Sea, to the Mediterranean ami .Aegean in the south, and westward to the West Indies.
