Melbourne December 17 The Minister of Defence has received from Sir George Sydenham Clarke a report on the value of submarines for Australian defence. Sir George argues heavy seas along the coast would hinder submarine use outside harbours and even in calm weather attacking distant ships would be unlikely. He suggests submarines could only deter daylight approaches and recommends no expenditure on submarines.
