' Manning the Ship '
BASIL SANDERSON
Over 150,000 men are employed on board ships of the Merchant Navy. Mr. Basil Sanderson, who is Chairman of the Shipping Federation and -a Director of the Aberdeen and Commonwealth Line, Ltd., will describe tonight how ships are manned, and what prospects the sea holds out to those who decide to make it their profession. He will also describe the work of the National Maritime Board which, as Major Thornton said in the first talk of this series, ' has enabled the industry to deal with its own domestic problems in a sensible and tolerant manner, without involving the public in the discomforts of a national strike '.
