Sheerness, Jan. 13.-The British Admiralty tonight an- nounced that there was no hope for the 55 men who went down in the submarine Truculent, rammed last night by a Swedish tanker.

A naval spokesman disclosed that there were 80 people aboard the vessel at the time of the disaster, not 76 as thought carlier.

The Navy-after vain day-long attempts to make contact by divers and frogmen through the submarine's crushed hull-declared: "No hope ean now be entertained that there will be any further survivors."

After the "no hope" announcement the Navy's rescue armada sus- pended salvage operations until slack water tomorrow.

The Admiralty today received this message from the King: "I have heard with great regret of the disaster that has occurred to H.M.S. Truculent. Please convey to the next of kin of all those who have lost their lives the deep sympathy of the Queen and myself."

Nine fathoms down in the silted waters of the Thames Estuary today divers hammered vainly for signs of life against the hull of the submarine.

Recognition Creates Posers

HE complications crented by the politient eclipse of the Nationalists In China und the emergence of J Communist-dominated regime ruling, or apparently ruling the continent, are beginning to be felt in the United Nations Organisation. Russia took the lead in denouncing the right of the Nationalists further to represent China in UN, and the issue is beginning to reach Us climax. On Thursday, Dr T. F. Tsinng, principal Chinese delegate, recognised the invidious position in which he was placed as chairman of the Security Council during the current seaslan, and with an impres- - sive show of dignity, voluntary surrender- ed the office, handing his duties over to the. Cuban delegale. Ilis action contrasted with the churlish display of Mr Jacob Mall, the Soviet spokesman, who felt it his duty to walk out of the Council while Dr Tslang remnined in the chair. It was a petulant act because the actual issue at the time was whether or not an immediate vote should be taken on Dr Thiong's rights to remain temporary President of the Council, With Dr Tsiang no longer occupying, that role, Russin can'

The Chinese Communists, with plenty of justification, are knocking at the door of the family of nations and in due course they will have admitted. Yet they are adopting some- what strange tactics in their quest to obtala sufficient support from members to secure admission.

One illustration of the newly cautious attitude to the possible outcome of recognition is the revelation yesterday that few, if any Important shipping concerns in Hongkong have as yet laid any plans for the re- sumption of trade with Shanghai.

The successful entry into Shanghai of the Elsie Moller, despite the Nationalists' claim that the Yangise estuary had been ruined, and in face of the presence of Nationalist warships, is an encouraging sign; but until it has been made clear that full protection will be afforded our merchant ships, even within territorial waters if this be necessary, the run between Hongkong and Shanghai remains an hazardous undertaking. Recognition, in fact, poses a number of issues, some connected, with the direct relationships between Peking and the non-Communists countries willing to extend recognition, and, others of na International character, more particularly the new China's role in the United Nations when she has been admitted. The probabilities are that the future. of the United Nations Organisation will be increasingly turbulent, with less and less- positive achievements to its credit.

Talpeh, January 13.-Private dispatches from Hainan reported today that advance bands of Chinese Communista from the mainland described as organisers and strategists had landed on big island off the south coast of China.

The dispatches offered a likely explanation of per- sistent rumours that the Communists had invaded Hainan. Usually competent press sources had reported Invasion in some force. An official spokesman here dealed it--United freas.
