The revision of the Naval Discipline Act has, therefore, proved a more difficult problem. In the United Kingdom, a special committee has been appointed to examine the question of revision of the British Naval Act It was felt that it would be an advantage to await the report of that committee and benefit by its recommendations, The revision of the Naval Discipline Act has, therefore, been suspended for the present. It is expected that the Committee's report will be available within the next few months, after which the revision of the Naval Discipline Act will be taken up.
