HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Brussels Post, 1947-11-12, Page 7Minesweeping Job Still Uncompleted • The recent loss of a collier which struck a mine t,[f the north,. east coast of I3ritain has focussed fresh attention on the fact that after two years of steady tabor the huge task—the greatest of its kind in history—of clearing Europe's sea lanes has not yet been com- pleted, The fleets of 13 nations are co- operating in the work, although the largest share has fatten to the British Navy. In the two years, since the end of the war, 140,000 square (miles of ocean have been cleared of lurking danger to mer- chant shipping, saYs the Sault Daily Star, The operation will not be completed, however-, until some time next year. * * a By the end of the war at least 600,000 mines of various types had been sown in the waters along the coast of Europe, and as the U.K, Information Service puts it with magnificent u n der S t a to 10-5 tt t, "movements of shipping were severely restricted". The task of reopening these waters has been one -calling for illleroationat. c0- operatitn and organization of a high order. In May, 1945, immediately after hostilities ceased, the Mine Clear- • once hoard, with headquarters at • the Admiralty' in London, was formed to undertake the job. On this board 'sit representatives of the 'U.S., French, Russian and Bei- tislt navies, with a chairman and technical adviser from Britain. Pro-. gress reports and information are passed ou to the International Routing Authority, also located in London, which has the -responsi- bility for issuing instructions for the safety and guidance of''all shipping, * * * Nearly 2;000 vessels .make up the • international minesweeping fleet, in which Canadian vessels partici- pated during the first few months after hostilities ended., For •con- trol'purposeS the Mine Clearance Board has divided the vast area to; be cleared into four zones. These cover the East Atlantic, the- Medi- terraltean, the Balkan and Black Seas, and the Kattegat and Bettie Approaches. British ships work hi each zone. The whole task is being super- vised front London. The fleet is divided into flotillas of eight ships, which in reasonable weather are able to clear 25 square miles a day. One example of the difficul- ties encountered hi • the actual work of sweeping is that present- ed by magnetic mines equipped with delayed firing devices. These must be swept over at least 15 times before -they detonate. Since the work began two years ago, there has not been a single human casually But nearly 200 vessels have been either sunk or damaged while staking the seas safe for other slips.

Sp ,p its — And One Thing or Another By FRANK MANN HARRIS ("A Sixhit Critic") We have a feeling that one of these days what is known as "the reform clement" is going to turn its batteries on the Ontario horse -racing scene; and when ,the shooting. is over,.a lot of folks who make a nice living by operating race -tracks are going to wonder just exactly what hit' them. It- has happened'' before, and can happen again. And if we personally happen to be on the scene at the _tine we 'will assume: our favorite role of Job's Comforter by saying to the 'survivors, "Well, you certainlyaskedfor what you got!" * * * Morse -racing is supposed to be a sport --or at least to have some of the elements of sport in it. But this yeas we have been treated to the spectacle of race -tracks cancelling meetings at a few hours notice, then starting up afresh, much in the man- ner of some gambling joint which operates when, if Mid as the cops are looking the other way. Old charters are dug up and revived, until they have made the biggest hind of a joke out of the racing law's original in- tention, which was that no- track should have more than two seven- day meets in a 'single year. * * * Nor is it only the frankly com- mercial tracks that are to blame, as even the mighty Woodbine started the hall rolling this Spring by hold- ing a cheap meeting, under -a charter few people had ever heard of, a week in advance of its regular Sox- lety "opening," It's a sorry mess indeed; and some day those respons- ible are going to regret that they allowed the looney angle ..of their racket to stick out so proiiiincntly.
