ed no opportunity for wayside recep-

This reform probably will affect the
ministries of labor and transport, the
duties of which may be relegated to
other departments with considerable
saving in the expense of administra

regarded as new policy; rather, it
would be carrying out the recommen-

policy of the British admiralty was
against the convoy; that after long
experience in the war, the merchant
captains preferred to take their

sail in company under convoy than for
