COMMAND OF SEAS
PROVED BY RECENT EVENTS BRITISH NAVY SUPREME NAZIS’ BOASTS UNTRUE (Official Wireless) (Received Sept. 30, 12.5 p.m.) RUGBY, Sept. 29 The 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 week-end. 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 until they found and picked up British airmen in a rubber boat. It is true that some German aircraft attempted to prevent the rescue, but these men were speedily chased away. The command of the sea round all coasts is still supreme and the Gerjman talk is only likely to draw strong attention to the fact—a result which German lack of understanding of world opinion is unable to realise. •
