THE CITY OF GREAT BRITAIN.
London Spectator.

Unless we command the sea we cam
not keep open the roads by which our
people are fed. Britain has In effect
ceased TO be a country She is now,
considered from the political and mill
tary point of view, a city, though a
city with very large parks and pleas
aunces and kitchen gardens in which
to grow their flowers, fruits and vege-
tables. A city, from the point OF view
of war. may be described as a place
which II besieged long enough must
fall, since supplies once consumed cam
not be replenished. Britain answers to
this description. The moment the sea
roads to her are closed by an enemy
she is, ipso facto. In a state Of siege.
Face to face with need so imminent,
II would be madness for us to give any
consideration TO what we hope or be-
lieve are the Intentions OF this or that
foreign power All that we can right
ly do In considering how to secure our
national safety and independence Is to
count ships and guns and TO compute
the units of naval efficiency.
