FEWER SHIPS LOST
Allies Fight U-Boat Menace (Rec. 8.55 p.m.) WASHINGTON, September 2. “Although there has been a steady diminution in the number of ships sunk off our own shores the submarine menace is by no means solved,” said the Secretary of the Navy, Colonel Frank Knox, at a Press conference. “The minute you make it tough in one place they hunt in new areas of the high seas far from land. It is a long job and we may never lick it completely, but the menace can be reduced substantially so as not to interfere with victory. The progress of the ship-building programme is extremely satisfactory. All the ships are being both launched and fitted out ahead of time. “No one can speak dogmatically about the purpose of the Japanese occupation of the Aleutians, but probably they are using Kiska as an observation post. No Japanese land bases of which we know have been built in the Aleutians."
