GREAT SUPPLIES RUSHED FROM AMERICA BY THE ARCTIC ROUTE. FOR BATTLES OVER EUROPE. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.20 p.m.) LONDON, May 24. America is rushing many more fighters and bombers and important war supplies to Britain, said Colonel Paul Burrows, commanding officer of the European wing of the United Army Air Force Transport Command which has been established in Britain. He added that he expected in 1943 a vast increase in the number of plages arriving from the world’s largest airfield, in Labrador, and also from other centres.
"The European wing,” Colonel Burrows said, “is part of a vast military undertaking shared by the Allied nations to bring the war home to Hitler and Mussolini as speedily and forcefully as possible. It will be our aim to see that tactical planes are delivered in first-class condition, for immediate use in air battles over Europe.” Sir Trafford Leigh-Mallory, Com-mander-in-Chief of the Fighter Command, stated that signs were not lacking that we were gradually wearing down the morale of the Germans by bombing.
