ENEMY NOT SUCCEEDING
ATLANTIC BATTLE
TWO FACTS POINTED
(Rec. 2.45 p.m.)
RUGBY, May 23

The first fact is the improvement in the British escort strength for convoys. The second is the progressive driving of the attacking U-boats further westward into the Atlantic. There is definite evidence of a reduction in the attack in the areas covered by British reconnaissance, aircraft.
One comment made—which in fact is justified by recent experience—is that the match is now being played on the Americans' home pitch.— 8.0. W.
