CABLE NEWS IN BRIEF:

London, March 15. The use of the British flag on i Spanish vessel recently in Spanish waters was the subject of a ques- tion in the House of Commons.

The Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Lord Cranborne in reply, desertbed the circumstances In which destroyers were sent

in

response to distress signals to the assistance of a vessel using the call sign of the British steamship Adda. Before these arrived, in was learnt that the ship, in ques- tion was foreign, and it is under- stood to have been the Spanish steamer Mar Cantabrico.

"

To Preside

I learn that Sir Alfred Faulkner, Permanent Becretary to the Mines Department, is to be the chair- man of the representative com-

mittee which is to inquire into the problem of extending the use of coal in the British merchant marine, writes a correspondent in the "Daily Telegraph."

The formation of the committee is well under way, and will be com→ pleted at, an early date.

The position, however, is by no means so simple as this. It is true that nearly half the merchant marine still burns coal, but at the present rate of motorship con- struction the coal-burning feet will continue to shrink rapidly un- less counter-measures are taken without delay.

PARALYSIS IN WAR-TIME

The best authorities estimate that by 1947 coal-burning ships will represent no more than one tenth of the British merchant marine. In that event a national emergency which threatened to interrupt or drastically reduce our ol supplies might lead to the paralysis of the greater part of our shipping.

REAR STOP-LIGHT OR

HAND SIGNAL?

At Liverpool Assizes a ruling by Mr. Justice Porter laid it down that the rear stop-light is no pro- per substitute for the hand signal if, relying on your stop-light, you fall to give the hand signal and an accident occurs, you can be held to have been negligent.

That, it appears, is the law. The Highway Code takes no notice of mechanical signals (except the traffic lights), and the stop-light

"UNLAWFUL" GUARD RAILS Then again the "Law Journal" believes that guard rails, what it calls "roadside cages," are unław- ful, and emphasises the right of every person to free access to the roadway. Is that a doctrine still to uphold when the roadway is considerably more perilous than the railway track? If so, why is suicide illegal?
