STORY OF JUTLAND
NON-PUBLICATION CRITICISED. 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 shipbuilding programmes are on the brink of revolutionary changes, the country is prevented from studying the only battle where dreadnoughts fought and great destroyer attacks were made thereon. The Times adds that Lord Jellicoe and Lord Beatty represent two schools of thought, wide as the Poles asunder. There is, the Times says, no demand for a court-martial in connection with the battle, bui 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.
