OTTAWA Correspondence of
the Special e S Service).-Si-
lence hides the achievements of
Canada's young navy.
1t gets little publicity, even in
Canada; and censorship blurs the
few glimpses one gets now and
then of it's activities.
Yet it shares one of the most
critical and perilous assignments
of the whole war Keeping that
supply line open between North
America and the United Kingdom.
1t is a navy without battleships,
cruisers or aircraft-carriers, and
therefore, seldom gets a chance to
participate in exploits of offensive
sea warfare.
"A Defensive Job
The Royal Canadians navy's big
job is defensive-mainly, the con-
voying of merchant ships across
thte Atlantic, or to a point in mid
Atlantic where British warships
take over the convoy. They leave
an unidentified Canadian port at
an unannounced time for an un-
disclosed destination, travelling
rough sets in small ships without
lights: and the folks at home have
to be glad when the radio silence
is unbroken!-for no news is good
news, so long as the period of
waiting finally produces tw o
words: Safe arrival"
During 1910 the small, silent
navy quietly conveyed some $500
vessels across the North Atlantic.
carrying a lightweight tonnage OF
more than %, 900, 600 tons.
But all this time the navy was
doing other things, too.
1t was patrolling the seacoasts
Of Canada, on the alert for long.
range enemy submarines or sur
face raiders.
And it was trying desperately te
grow. Like a boy suddenly thrown
into a man-sized job, it was doing
the job and trying to grow up te
it at the same time.
Small but Growing
When the war began in Septem'
Der, 1889, Canada's navy consisted
of six destroyers, five mine-sWeep
ers and several small auxiliary
vessels; its personnel numbered
1900 officers and men.
Today it has more than 1870 yes.
sells and nearly 5000 officers anc
men. Some of the new ships were
built under a naval construction
program calling for 100 vessels oil
various sizes and categories-mos1
of which are still under construc.
ton and therefore will add to the
size of the fleet-some of them
were freighters or passenger liners
or yachts converted to naval uses,
and seven of the navy's II de-
stroyers were obtained from the
United States in the British-Ameri
can destroyer deal.
By next autumn Navy Minister
Angus L. Macdonald hopes to have
$50 vessels and %, ZOO men in the
nations set forces.
There have been losses, too. One
destroyer, the S%aguenay, was bad
ly damaged and lost 81 men in
an encounter with a German sub
marine; two others, the Fraser
and the Margaree, sank after col
lision in the blacked-out, crowded
waters off Britain.
On the other hand, Canadian
Warships have inflicted their share
of damage on the enemy. The flo
tilla leader Assiniboine assisted a
British cruiser in the capture of
the German freighter Hanover ear
ly in the war. The Italian freight
err Capo Noli was captured in the
st. Lawrence by a Canadian ship,
and the German freighter Weser
became a Canadian prize off the
Mexican coast.

Opposition Develops in Senate Committee Over
 Proposed Transaction
"A(T OF WAR" F MOVE
 IS MADE IS ASSERTION
Seized Graft May Be PIaG- ed in Coastwise Trade
 as Compromise

WASHINGTON. May 2.-An un- expectedly strong move has devel- oped in the Senate for the curbing of the proposed authority of Presi- dent Roosevelt to turn over the seized Axis shipping, as he advo- cates, to Great Britain, and is now projected as an integral part of legislation permitting the President to requisition and pay for about 80 foreign flag vessels lying idle in United States ports.
 This provision is said to have aroused a storm of protest within the Senate Commerce Committee. Some committee members asserted the transfer of one belligerent's ships to another belligerent could only be regarded as an "act of war"
 Senators Bennett Champ Clark, Democrat of Missouri, Hiram John- son, Republican of California, and others took a stand that such a transfer is a warlike gesture. Chair man J. w. Bailey, Democrat Of North Carolina, said he would not be surprised if a majority voted to restrict the American use of German and Italian ships recently taken into protective custody by the Coast Guard.
 Chairman Walter F. George, Democrat of Georgia, presiding over the Foreign Relations Committee, predicted some compromise will be worked out under which the vessels could be used in American coastal trade.

British Minister of Aircraft Production Is Deputy
 Prime Minister
DYNAMIC LORD MAY
 BECOME DICTATOR
Changes Made by Chur- chill Following War
 Policy Criticism

LONDON, May 2-Lord Beaver brook, Minister of Aircraft Pro- duction, has been appointed to a new portfolio, Minister of State.
 Observers believe this is move to make Lord Beaverbrook virtu- ally Deputy Prime Minisher.
 Presumably acting still on criti- cism of his war policies, Prime Min ister Churchill has shaken up his Cabinet and the move is now in- terpreted as making dynamic Lord Beaverbrook virtually dictator of British industrial production.
 The millionaire newspaper pub fisher was named to the newly cre- ated post of Minister of State and Britons expect him to assume con- trol of production of all war mater ials.
 Political observers said Beaver brooks role is in effect that of De- putty Prime Minister.
 Churchill also merged the min isteries of Shipping and Transpor- tation and gave new portfolio of Wartime Communications to Fred erick Thomas Leathers, virtually unknown.
 J. T. c. Moore, former Transport Minister, has been given Beaver brooks old job of aircraft produc- tion management and Ronald Cross, former Shipping Minister, has been named High Commissioner in Aus tralia.
