Junk Inquiry

OPINION FOUNDED ON

EVIDENCE GIVEN BY SURVIVORS OF ATTACK

"

Expert evidence as to the distinguishing marks of submarines of Naval Powers was given by Lieut.-Comdr. R. R. Helbert, R. N. specialist in that type of craft, at the Supreme Court this morning when the Junk Commission resumed its hearing,

Lieut.-Comdr. Helbert said that judging from the des- criptions given by the victims, he was inclined to believe that the submarine alleged to be responsible for the shell- ing and sinking of ten junks off Chilang Lighthouse on the morning of September 22, was a Japanese craft.

The Commission comprised of the Chief Justice, Sir Atholl MacGregor (Chairman), Hon. Comdr. J. B. Newill, Acting Harbour Master, and Mr. J. A. Fraser, temporary additional Judge.

The inquiry was adjourned until 10 a.m. to-morrow. Mr. J. Whyatt, Assistant Attorney- General, who was in charge of the witnesses, said that Lum Chu, one of the victims. had stated that he recognised the sailors as Japanese by the suspenders leading from 10 trousers, lle would like to have him recalled to clarity this point.

The deadlock in the Non-Intervention Committee over, the move to remove volunteers from the. Spanish civil war was broken at the eleventh hour to-night by Italy and Germany withdrawing their insistance that -belligerent rights should be granted--before the with-

drawal of volunteers should commence.

Both Germany and Italy agreed that token withdrawals should take place, and that commissions should be sent to Spain to report on the numbers of foreign volunteers fighting with the Spanish Loyalists and Insurgents, upon which date the plans for with- drawal could be based.
