COURTMARTIAL VERDICTS
(.United Press Association.—By Electrics Telegraph.—Copyright.) LONDON, April 9. “1 did not, because i regret the personal attacks on Admiral Collat'd as there has never been any personal malice between us. 1 consider he has suffered heavily enough already.” This is the explanation of his friendly farewell to Collat'd which Dewar gave to an ‘‘Evening ,Standard” representative on hoard the Ranpura. Admiral Alarket Kerr in an interview said it was a welcome conciliation of the parties but it was a pity they did not shako hands heiore the Court ot Inquiry. It would have saved the navy washing its dirty linen in public.
Commoner Bel lairs said a personal reconciliation does not affect the need shown bv the Court Martial of safeguarding the right of complaint. If high officers like Dewar and Daniels are not permitted to complain without risking their careers, what is the position of the lower ranks ?
