QUICKER ACTION
Need Seen By Third Sea Lord STRENGTH OF NAVY LONDON, May 3. The third Sea Lord, RearAdmiral B. A. Fraser, said in a speech that it was essential for Britain to be quicker off the mark, both on the civilian side and on the service side. “These are disappointing times,” he said, “but the Navy is not downhearted, and never will be downhearted. The Navy, at least, is sure that the Germans, whenever they encounter something near equality in strength will not face it. The captain of the Renown told me that the Scharnhorst fled immediately the Renown opened fire, and the captain of the Warspite said that German planes would not approach when anti-aircraft batteries were in action.”
