11 1 Editorials Sir Dudley Pound , . . Sixty-six year old Admiral of the Fleet Sir Dudley Pound, who died in London Thursday morning alter having resigned early this month as First Sea Lord owing to ill-health, directed the Royal Navy through four of the most critical war years and was credited with shaping more than any other the course of Britain's modern aggressive naval policy. Undoubtedly, he had a great deal to do with the formulation and adoption of measures to cope with the submarine menace and other weapons of the enemy at sea which in succession proved distressing and perplexing. His name will go down as one of the principal figures of this war as did those of Jellico and Beatty in the last. Pound is worthily succeeded as First -Sea Lord by Admiral of the Fleet Sir Andrew Browne Cunningham who has already been responsible for glorious achievements in this war more of which we shall leam anon.
