IL Great Britain Abusing Her Sea
Power?

An Englishmnn who has written

RerfcT nm article which makes posi-.
lively both In Its title and text the
assertion which we have put interrog.
atively In the headline above. Mr..

fact that he cannot use the sea to OBJ
tain supplies: ours from the fact that
we can. and that we are abusing our

eventual victory at any rate delaying II

And again:
"pvery condition on which our vel.
fare depends has undergone a change
since hostilities opened except the com.
mand OF the sea, and on that support we
are leaning to an extent which may lead
to unfortunate consequences Sea power
is merely the maritime expression of

He concludes as follows his study
Of the cost to British commerce Of the
naval dominance now exercised:

This English writer's Idea Of the
abuse ~ sea power by Great Britain,
therefore, Is not as might at first be
supposed abuse to the disadvantage of
neutral Powers or TO the detriment
Of their rights on the high seas under
international law. The abuse which
he alleges relates simply to the reflex
effect Of an expensive control Of the
