The Shiplniilding Industry in Belfast 29 



shipyard gates, blacken with a crowd of men which may number 

 up to 25,000. Think of the many problems which arise when 

 one sees that host of strong men, — problems social, educational, 

 industrial, political,- — thei'c is no end to them. But when all 

 is said and done, here, if anywhere in the world, are men doing 

 men's work ; and those who have worked Avith them, if they 

 have seen some of the evils and weak places in our modern social 

 organism, have also seen men trained and organised so that they 

 work economic and industrial miracles. There is no fear for 

 the future of any country which can still breed the "Islandmen."
