SUBMARINES CONDEMNED.
SHOULD BE SCRAPPED. GROWING BRITISH DEMAND. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION —COPYRIGHT Received Nov. 10, 10 a - ni> LONDON, Nov. 15. Mr. MacKinnon, chairman of Lloyds, commenting on the loss of the submarine Ml, in a letter to the Times, declares: ‘ * Those deadly machines, destroying those in charge of them, ought to be scrapped, since all great maritime nations have suffered heart-breaking losses through them.” Newspapers support Mr. MacKinnon. The Star expresses the opinion that even if the nations are willing to risk brave men's lives in peace time, suomarines ought to be warned off in war time as pirates preying on merchantinen. The Evening News declares that the Navy would be delighted to see the submarine abolished. Britain does not want them, but the smaller naval Powers consider them a cheap ane. powerful weapon, and the chief means of attack. Lady Astor says that women ail the world over should unite in demanding the elimination of submarines and poison gas. She is willing to tour the world to rouse public opinion. Mr. MacKinnon, in an interview, says that Lloyds’ committee would support an appeal which could be sent to Mr. Baldwin.—Sydney Sun Cable.
