London, July s.-Lord Brassey diberap
initiated a discussion on naval matters in
the house of lords today during the course
of which he deplored the fact that Great
Britain had lost the place she once held
with her mercantile marine. The ques-
ton or subsidies. he thought must de-
pend on the action of the other powers.

eral subsidies while President Roosevelt

mended this policy. 1t was contrary 10

on the other hand, Great Britain could

government, therefore, was not one or
hostility, but Of anxiety. 1t would never
do to rely in time Of war on merchant
ships OF other nations for the purpose OF
British carrying trade. Great Britain had
fallen behind in regard to vessels OF high
