MERCHANT SHIPPING
PROTECTION IN WAR
(British Official Wireless.)
RUGBY, December 21
The Under-Secretary to the Admiralty, Mr. G. H. Shakespeare, replying to a question in the House of Commons, said that complete plans for the protection of merchant ships had been prepared and the collaboration of shipping interests had been ensured by the formation two years ago of a shipping defence advisory committee.
Details of such plans were, of course, secret, but the general outline had been communicated to the mercantile marine.
