BRITISH PARLIAMENT
NAVAL affairs. LUnited Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright, j LONDON, Nov. 24. The Labour Party made a demand in the House of Commons that the tiventv-four men, who were dismissed from the Navy following oil the Invergordon trouble, should have a fuller trial. lii reply, the First Lord of Admiralty, (Sir Ballon E. Monsell, explained that the dismissals of these men were not due to participation in the Tnvergordon incident, but were due to a subsequent action of subversion of discipline. Sir TL Eyres Monsell added: “The Navy realises to-day that it no longer occupies the very high position in the heart of the British public that it had held in past centuries.” But it was, he said, the earnest dpsire of every officer a'r.d man to regain that esteem as soon as possible. Jit would be regarded more quickly if tbe House of Commons and the country would leave the Navy alone to deal with its own domestic affairs.” This statement wa.s greeted with cheers.
