on Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of
the admiralty, in the house of com
mons yesterday afternoon.
Sir Edward Carson, the former

was at that time member, was
not responsible and said that naval
officers protested against it.
Sir Hedgworth Meud declared that
Sir Erie Geddes had flouted the
whole fleet.
Andrew Bonar Law, spokesman for
the government, explained how Pre-
mier Lloyd George had summoned
him to the cabinet room Geddes
was there and said he had come to
the conclusion in the public interest
there should be this change
Sir Edward Carson, interrupting
Mr. Bonar Law interiected.
IF had continued to be first
lord, ! would certainty have resisted
the removal of Admiral Jellicoe"
Mr. Bonar Law, resuming, said:
"slr Erie told me at the same
time that the subject had not been
TO him for two months by
the premier, and that he had come
to the conclusion absolutely on his
own Initiative"
The first lord here interposed and
said he thought that If the advice
he gave was accepted by the premier
1t became the decision of the gov
ernment He would like to say
that from the day he accepted of
flee until Admiral Jellicoe left the
admiralty no suggestion had been
made and no pressure had been put
upon him to make any change in
the admiralty.
