ADMIRALTY CHANGE
LORD BEATTY'S WORK RESIGNATION OVERDUE RESIGNATION OVERDUE (.British Official Wireless .) Reed. 12.40 p.m. RUGBY, Sunday. In connection with the retirement of Lord Beatty from the post of First Sea Lord on June 30, and the appointment of Admiral of the Fleet Sir Charles Madden to succeed him, it is pointed out that Lord Beatty was due to retire last November, but under pressure consented to defer his resignation. On the dispersal of the Grand Fleet, of which he was Commander-in-Chief, Lord Beatty took up his present duties, and his period of office at the Admiralty has been marked by the reduction of the Navy to a peace footing after the greatest war in history. It is generally agreed that this has been accomplished with the minimum of hardship and dislocation.—A. and N.Z.
