J SHIPPING AND SUPPLIES " GAINED BY ALLIES IN NORTH 5 AFRICA. "LOSSES THAT WILL BE FELT . BY AXIS. (British Official Wireless.) ' - - (Received This Day, 11.45 a.m.) RUGBY, November 18. “The United Nations welcome the windfall awaiting them in North and West Africa in the shape of 200,000 to 300,000 tons of Shipping now lying in ports along that coast,” said an official of the Ministry of Economic Warfare today. The Axis, in addition to losing this tonnage, willfind the task of their coastal shipping along the Africa coast more dajigerous than ever. Of the results of the North African campaign, the official said Axis Europe had been making do with only half the normal quantity of phosphates needed for fertilisers, but henceforward they would have only one-quar-ter the quantity required. This, however, would not affect the 1943 harvest. Owing to a shortage of highgrade iron ore, Germany had stepped up North and West African ore production from 53,000 tons in 1941 to 440,000 tons in 1942, the latter figure representing 16 per cent of the yearly, consumption of Axis Europe. This supply is now denied to the Axis.
