NOT RESIGNING
FIRST LORD REPLIES ' TO CRITICS REGARDING SUBMARINE DISASTER. KNOWS THEY ARE AFTER HIS BLOOD. By Telegraph —Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 9.30 a.m.) LONDON, June 11. “I am not resigning, not at the moment anyway, because I love my job,” said Earl Stanhope, First Lord of the Admiralty, interviewed by the “Sketch.” He added: “I have done all I can. I know some newspapers are after my blood, contending that I should have gone to the scene of the Thetis disaster immediately. It would have required an extra tug, which was much better employed in other tasks. There is nothing I could have done. I was in constant touch with Devonport. Carbon monoxide, due to the fusing of a wire through inrush of water, caused the deaths of the occupants of the submarine.”
