UNDERWATER CRAFT
LORD MOTTISTONE URGES ABOLITION attitude of admiralty. REFERENCE TO SPANISH WAR. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. LONDON. August 2. Replying in the House of Lords to Lord Mottistone’s motion that steps should be taken to abolish submarines, Earl Stanhope said the Government had not achieved a modicum of success in its efforts for abolition. The Admiralty felt that under- ordinary conditions, with the present apparatus, we could hunt submarines and make certain of finding them. He believed this knowledge had induced a cessation of submarining in the Mediterranean during the Spanish war, when Britain threatened action.
