BRITAIN’S NAVAL POWER
MADE MANIFEST TO NAZIS. IN ATLANTIC & NORTH SEA. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, September 29. German broadcast boasts that whether Britain is invaded or not the German blockade by sea will speedily defeat her have had their hollowness revealed by two happenings over the weekend. A squadron of United States destroyers steamed ’proudly into a British port after what the captains describe as an “uneventful crossing,” and British destroyers, -guided by British aeroplanes, scoured the North Sea for three and a half days till they found and picked up British airmen in a rubber boat. It is true that some German aircraft attempted to prevent the rescue of these men, but they were speedily chased away. The British command of the sea round all-her coast is still supreme, and the German talk is only likely to draw strong attention to the result which German lack of understanding of world opinion is unable to realise.
