CORFU CHANNEL DISPUTE
NO RECOMMENDATION BY UNO COMMITTEE (N.Z. Press Association —Copyright) (Rec. 10 p.m.) NEW YORK, March 15. The sub-committee consisting of Australia, Poland, and Colombia returned to the United Nations Security Council without making any recommendations on the British-Albanian dispute over the mining of the Corfu Channel. The sub-committee reported that they could not determine from the evidence available even whether there was a minefield in the channel on October 22 when two British destroyers were damaged and 44 members of the crews were killed.
British spokesmen expressed dissatisfaction with the sub-committee’s report because it left the Security Council where it was a fortnight ago—with much evidence but no conclusions. They said it was time the Council stopped passing the buck hnd voted on the question of guilt or innocence.
