DIFFICULT DAYS
FUTURE COURSE OF WAR
ATTACK BY NAZI SUBMARINES AND BATTLESHIPS. AMERICAN COMMENTATOR’S VIEW. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.10 a.m.) WASHINGTON, December 27. Writing in the “Military Review," the editor, Captain M. R. Kammerer, said if the British can withstand air raids until the R.A.F. obtains something resembling parity, the Navy can save the Empire. He issued a warning that Britain faces more dire consequences from German submarines and pocket battleships than during the darkest days of 1917. He conceded that the British blockade was less decisive than in the World War, although very important but the submarine and pocket battleship of 1941 would be more difficult to combat than submarines in 1917. Nevertheless, the problem should be capable of solution in 1941. Aerial warfare against Britain was intended to crush morale, but English bravery and doggedness have stood up well.
