Show SINKING U-BOATS VERY SUCCESSFUL The safely of our supply lines across the Atlantic ocean is of paramount importance on the eve of the "Anglo-American offensive against Nazi Europe. It is interesting to note that the campaign against the U-boats has been highly successful, with losses of merchant ships "among the lowest monthly figures for the whole war." President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill in a joint statement, state-ment, declare: "The German claims should, as usual, be ignored as they are grossly exaggerated and issued purely for propaganda purposes." The statement also reports that more U-boats were destroyed in January than in December despite the limited oppo-tunities to make such attacks. Apparently the caution cau-tion exercised by the U-boat commanders com-manders is mors than equalled by the relentless p,vssure of our surface sur-face forces. |
