Show U-Boat Warfare Inflicts Losses . . . The U-boat campaign, according to unconfirmed reports, is taking a growing toll of allied merchant ships. Sinkings of vessels, loaded with needed supplies, represents a tremendous loss but, offsetting the undersea warfare is the apparent control of the high seas, with our convoys moving steadily, and with increasing safety, to vital areas. The United Nations can feel confident over the great output of munitions, now flowing from war industries in the United States and Great Britain. This has already al-ready given us the edge in aerial strength and there is no reason to doubt but that our armies, when they go into action, will be better equipped than the Germans. The aerial offensive against the Axis powers in Europe has been slowly developed, because of exceedingly ex-ceedingly bad weather. However, it is officially stated that the planes of the United Nations will make a serious effort to blast Germany, Ger-many, Italy and key points in occupied oc-cupied countries. The long-awaited effort to score a knock-out from the air, which every aviation expert ex-pert has predicted, may get un-' un-' derway, amid high hopes for in-fflicting in-fflicting damaging blows to the enemy. |
