SECRECY NECESSARY
IN REGARD TO SHIPPING LOSSES ENEMY DOES NOT KNOW FACTS. AND WOULD LIKE TO GET THEM. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 9.40 a.m.) RUGBY, July 16. The House of Lords went into secret session to consider motions by Lord Winster and Lord Trenchard, calling attention to arrangements for building merchant ships and to the shipping problem. Viscount Cranborne pointed out that the enemy did not know the facts and wanted to get them. That was a conclusive reason against discussing the question in public. The country had not been starved of information and the Government was most anxious that it should be as fully informed as possible, but there was a point beyond which they could not go, because of the risks involved, and that point was said to have come on the question of shipping.
