V LONDON, Deceaber 12. In the House of Commons, Mr. Churchill was heckled over Admiral Bridegman's retirement. He stated that the only cause of the retirement was ill-health. No difference of policy led to disagreement.
Lord Beresford asked: Did the proposition emanate from Admiral Bridgeman? . f
Mr. ChurchJ.ll.: Are you speaking on Admiral Bridgeman's behalf ?
Lord Beresford: No, no, but many Sea Lords have retired recently. Mr. -Churchill: Since the noble lord presses, the proposal emanated from me. (Loud Opposition cheers.) The "Daily News" says it is notorious that Admiral Bridgeman retired after a serious dispute with Mr. Churchill. Admiral Bridgeman wanted higher pay for bluejackets in order to secure the necessary recruits.
