the war it was later found desir- able to use the convoy system.

The latter has its drawbacks u ships must. be held imtil u number are assembled under an escort of fighting vessels and the convoy can proceed no faster than the slowest ship in the group. The convoy system was adopted “unwillingly? he said, as it meant a reduction of as to 35 per oent in the carrying power of the merchant fleet.

"Instead of allowing the ships in sail when they like, in which case they would be finding their way past a submarine in a steady stream. we hold them up for a few dflyl. perhaps as much as a week, and then send them all together," said the spokesman.

"The result is the submarine has a. discouraging wait and then. suddenly, a whole week's shipping passes him in the course of 15 or 20 minutes. And, to add to his difficulties. the submarine, with his slow speed when submerged. may not even then manage to get into a position close enough for a shot. Even if he does. he gets only one shot a week instead of two or three daily.’

Moreover an enemy vessel at- tacking e. convoy must place itself within striking distance of the es- corting war ships.

Aircraft Attacks

"Regarding aircraft (attacking shipping) we have as eit insuffici- ent experieree under ull war con- ditions to be able to make a def- inite statement,“ said the spokes- man.

"Some there are who hold that we shall not be aisle to maintain the convoy system against air at- tack but results up to the present have been encouraging. It is only fair to add that the unsuccessful attacks on our convoys have all been in the North Sea witibin range of British shore-based air- craft."

Mines present a special problem.

especially because of Germariys illegal use of mines. All British mines are laid in well-defined

areas and notice is elven of them to all shipping Germany. however, l2; unannounced. anchored mines. sets loose, floating mines and also uses the so-called Maenetic mine.

"To my mind mrnesweeping is a mlsl-eadinq term." said t-he spokes- man. "I think mire-clearing would be more descripfive. In wartime. we have not the time, the ships or the irclination to sweep up all l/JG mines vrlfch the enemy has laid in tlie ocean.

"All w-e need to do is to make up our minds what particularehan- nsls we require fcr the free flow of traffice and carry out a clear- ance of those channels daily or more often if circumstances make it advisable.
