The president of the American National Maritime Union, Mr Joseph Curran, in a recent broadcast to members of the crew of the Lehigh, who landed at Sierra Leone, stated: “I want to assure you men that your brother members in the National Maritime Union are ready to man ships flying the American flag which will deliver goods at any point needed. They will not be helples as your ship was, but will shoot back if they see so much as the tip of the 1 conning-tower of a Nazi -submarine.” The crew sent the following reply: “We appreciate the solidarity of our brother seamen in the fight against Hitlerism, and when we get home we will be ready, willing and able to man other ships carrying supplies to Britain and her Allies.”
