An
underwater
ex-
aminaion
of the
"Resotution’’ shows
un-
mistakab:y
that
the
submarine
must
have been
badly holed.
The
bhow
chain
of the batiieship
was
cut
right
through
and
while
the
battleship
itself
is
not
seriously
damaged,
there
are
marks
showing
that she
must
have
struek
the
submarine
with tremendons
force.

the

up, which would explain why
no
oil floated
up. because
the
oil
tanks
are
at the bottom
of the vessel.
The

to
have
been
mercifully

Members

today,
just
before
the accident
saw what
they
supposed
was
a

now
known
it must
have
been
the submarine’s

M.
Herriott
said the majoriiy which
voted
it
one

today
now
was
convinced
that it would prove
insufficient.
During
his address
M. Herriott
reterred
to
the
situation
between
Irance
and
Great
Britain
as
‘‘stupid
misunderstanding’”’
which
should
be ended
as
soon
as
possi-
ble.
Apropus of réparations,
the speaker
said
““there can
