THE JUTLAND REPORT.
DELAY BREEDS SUSPICION. THE TWO SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT. COUNTRY NEEDS KNOWLEDGE. London, Oct. 29. The “Times,” in a special article, condemns the refusal to publish the official account of the Battle of Jutland ,thereby depriving the Navy of the greatest opportunity of learning how to fight, and, secondly, when ship building programmes are on the brink of revolutionary changes the country is prevented from studying the only battle where dreadnoughts fought and great destroyers’ attacks were made thereon. The “Times” adds that Admirals Jellicoe and Beatty represent two schools of thought as wide as the poles asunder. There is, the “Times” lays, no demand for a court-martial in connection with the battle, but the growing atmosphere of suspicion concerning the general conduct of the battle is bad for the country and its trust in the Navy. However painful it might be the only way to re-establish confidence and safeguard the future is fearlessly to reveal the facts and allow the public to judge.—(“Times.”)
