TACTICS OF DECEPTION
USED AGAINST DOMALA SHIP ADEQUATELY ARMED. STATEMENT BY FIRST LORD. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Dav. 10.30 a.m.) RUGBY, March G. Asked in the House of Commons' whether he could explain "the absence of effective protection" in the case of the Domain, the First Lord of the Admiralty (Mr Winston Churchill) said the ship was adequately armed, both with, high and low-angle guns, to provide protection against aircraft and submarine attack, but she was attacked suddenly by an aircraft assumed to be friendly, and therefore her guns were not brought into action. A destroyer which was close at hand was similarly misled.
