BRITAIN'S DANGER.
IF ENEMY HAD EXCESS OF
SUBMARINES,
(Received June 6, 9 a.m.)
Sir Percy Scott's declaration in favour of submarines has aroused great attention. He contends that if submergibles close egress frow the North Sea and the Mediterranean it is difficult to see 'how our commerce can be much interfered with. Thirty or 40 submarines in. the Straits of Gibraltar would . make the . passage 'of a fleet hazardous, and any Power sending ships to hunt and destroy the submarines would be courting disaster. Britain, with its many harbours and much Bhipping,\ would be at a great disadvantage if an enemy had plenty of submarines.
