ADMIRALTY WARNED
MANOEUVRES ON TRADE ROUTES. LONDON December 16. ‘■Tramc on trade routes should be allowed to be carried on in peace time undisturbed by imaginary war,” said Mr Justice Scrutton, in the Appeal Court. He gave judgment in dismissing the appeal from the owners of the French liner Florida, which collided with the aircraft-carried Glorious on April 1, 1931, with the loss of 22 lives. The Lower Court had held that both vessils were to blame, but chiefly the Florida. Mr Justice Scrutton added that if manoeuvres especially involving aircraft-carriers, which were continually shifting with the wind, had to be performed in foggy weather, it would be wise if the great Admiralties ensured the avoidance of trade routes.
