GETS PRIORITY
Admiralty Bitterly Criti-
cized; AIexandwer's Re.
signatiOn Demanded

London, March l7.-(Up)-The
war against the U-boats has beer
given top priority In Allied plans
Prime Minister Winston Churchill
said today during debate in Com
mons which touched off q verbal
blast against the admiralty cli-
NAKED by a virtual demand for
its first lord, A. v. Alexander.
The gravity Of the Nazi SUBJ
marine campaign was reflected in
the bitter criticism Of the admiralty,
In which several speakers joined.
Clement Davis led the attack with
the blunt charge:
The admiralty now for the long
est time has been under the con-
troll Of Alexander, and the first
sea lord has been all through the
war.
I'VE cannot possibly have old
methods standing between US and
what Is necessary for Our own saliva
ton, nor should in any circum-
stances any man or set Of men
stand between US and what Is re-
quired, and the proper weapons to
put into the hands of our men,"
Alexander took up the challenge,
and denied that the admiralty Is
complacent. He asserted "the
situation is much too serious" for
that.
There is not a single thing we
can do which we will not try to do
to meet the situation" Alexander
concluded. I'VE shall leave no
really hopeful thing untried in COM
ing through this struggle"
Spearheading criticism Of the adj
miralty, Davies inquired:
why can't we bet old Of our
losses in cargo ships? The enemy
can make their own calculations.
What Is the point in hiding the
information from us? Are they
afraid to publish the figures because
they may show some inefficiency or
neglect somewhere?"
Davies said Alexander's introduce
ton Of navy estimates had been re-
ceived coldly by the House because
"he INDUCED In, what has become
familiar to us now as his charac-
teristic qualities-vanity, COM
placency, and fretful resentment of
any inquiry or even Of advice"
He charged that Alexander had
no control over operational matters
because hts time Is taken up with
speeches, inspections and social func-
tions.
Laborite Charles G. Ammon Joined
In with a charge that the fleet air
arm Is saddled with inferior planes.
He demanded Qualification Of the
Of the U-boat conferences
In washington in view of Churchill's
statement yesterday that no changes
had been planned In the present
for fighting the SUBJ
marines.
