Cripps, in the course of a speech supporting the Labour candidate at the Preston by-election, caused by the appointment of Mr. W. M.

- Representatives of Great Bri- tals and all the Dominions, the United States, Japan, France and Italy met at the Foreign Office recently to sign the protocol re- ating to the rules of submarine warfare set forth in Part IV. of the 1930 Treaty of London, states Hector C. Bywater, "Dally Tele- graph" Naval correspondent.
The effect of this protocol is not unly to prolong for an indefinite period the rules governing sub- marine warfare, but to bring with- in their scope the great Powers- France and Italy-which had not previously been bound by them.
