To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In 1903, the only danger to the Trade Routes to be apprehended was the attack upon commerce by naval warships. It was under these conditions considered necessary to keep a large force of cruisers on foreign stations. To-day, when the danger may be multiplied tenfold by the new license proposed to be accorded to merchantmen, the number of cruisers on foreign stations has been diminished by about two-thirds, nor is there A SURVEY OF THE SITUATION 183 any force in the Home ports ready to reinforce... them. The cruisers allocated for that duty are reserve ships which, as their complements consist of Royal Naval Reserve men, could not be manned until after the outbreak of war, when it would be too late. These vessels are also unsuitable for this particular service.
The result is that our sea-borne trade upon whose punctual arrival in this country the life of its people depends, is left open to sudden and secretly organized attack on the high seas, conducted by merchant vessels which, a few hours previously, were receiving the shelter of neutral harbours as non-com- batants, and which a few hours later may repair to the same harbours to take in supplies before embarking upon new adventures.
