THE ABOLITION OF SUBMARINES
\ BRITISH GOVERNMENT’S VIEWS LOSS OF THE Ml (Rec. November 19, 7.20 p.m.) London, November 18. To several questions in the House of Commons suggesting an international conference with a view to the abolition of submarines, which was urged by the chairman of Lloyd's in a letter to the newspapers •immediately after the disaster to the Ml, Mr. Baldwin said that nothing had occurred since the Washington Conference to alter the Government's views expressed there. Mr. W. C. Bridgeman, First Lord of the Admiralty, said that since the Ml refitted on June 15, no defect tn the hull or machinery had been experienced. The vessel belonged to a class of submarines universally recognised as exceptionally good in underwater control.’ He had not seen the statements attributed to a member of the crew about the difficulty of the Ml making port at previous exercises, but would inquire. Everything would be submitted 'to the court of inquiry now sitting.—Reuter.
