lining the reasons for hla resignation
from the cabinet and explaining his
administration of the admlrnJty, of
which he formerly was first lord.
Mr. Churchill declared that If any oper
ations In the history of the world were
worth carrying through with sustained
futy and utter disregard of tife..he oper
ations at the Dardanelles were worth It.
Predicts t'ltlmate Victory.
'We are passing through a bad time,
which probably will be worse before It is
better, but It will be better," Mr. Church-.
Ill said. "If we endure the campaign of
191 should be decided against Germany
by Its shortage of men."
Regarding the Dardanelles. Mr. Church-
ill declared that the admrial on the spot
said they could not be taken with a rush,
but that the fortifications might be re
duced gradually by bombardment. Ad
miral Sir John Fisher, then first sea lord,
was' opposed to reduction, of Great
Britain's naval strength In home waters.
but never criticised the method of attack
on the Dardanelles.
Mr. Churchill declared he did not re
ceive clear guidance from Admiral Flaher
before the expedition waa decided upon or
the subsequent firm support whereto he -waa
entitled.
In making hla promised statement Mr.
Churchill dealt with episodes during hf
tenure of office as head of the admlraltl
rather than with his resignation. He
said hla letter to Premier Asqulth gave V"
fully and truthfully the reasons which
led him to ask for a release from the
government. These reasons did not apply
to any other member of the cabinet 'Who -waa
not In the war council.
' a.
alternative form of eervloe whereto no.
exception nan be taken and wherewith
X am perfectly content,") he continued.
Turning to the naval battle off the
Chilean coast laat year, In which a Brit
ish squadron was defeated by the Ger
mans, Mr. Churchill said he had been In'
full agreement with his expert advisers..
The admiralty's dispositions of warships,
he said, were sound and were the best
under the olroumstances. Documentary
evidence would make this clear, without
detracting from the gallantry and devot
tlon of Rear Admiral Christopher Crad-
ock, who - lost his life when the Good
Hope want down.
The suggestion that he had overruled
his naval advisers and kept the , old
cruisers at sea, thus . causing their de
struction by a German submarine - last
year, was charaoterlsed by. Mr. Churchill
aa untrue. He said K was for A. J. Bal
four, the present first lord of tha admi
ralty, to determine whether tha papers
should be published. He himself had no
desire to press for the publication of
papers which might prejudice officers
now in the service, v .
Regarding the Antwerp expedition,' Mr.
Churchill said it wag jiot arranged by
him, but had been planned by Field Mar
shal Kitchener and the Frenoh govern
ment He waa not concerned with it or
consulted until the arrangements were
advanced a long way and until the troops
were moving or were under orders. '
, "At a midnight conference I ' learned
that plans for sending .a,, relieving army
