GERMAN AIMS
BRITISH NAVY WAR OF ATTRITION MORE NAZI SUBMARINES RUSSIAN SUPPLY PRELUDE TO HARD FIGHT (Klee. Tol. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Reed. Oct. 16, 3 p.m.) STOCKHOLM, Oct. 15. Swedish correspondents in Berlin stress the importance which the Nazis attach to the fight for seapower and their declaration that a continuation of the present rate of British losses eventually will ensure a German victory. The Nazis admit the sinking of some submarines, but discount this by announcing that Russia will furnish submarines to Germany. The paper Dagbladet suggests that a German land offensive may be expected only when the results of the operations against British seapower are known. German planes hitherto have been attacking in twenties, whereas 800 were sent against the Polish strongholds. Meanwhile the army is building up its reserves -and the Government is reconstructing the occupied territory. Six hundred thousand war prisoners are at work of whom 110,000 are harvesting the crops.
