Strong, will reign aa queen. ' * 111 brani h of the service has thrown many Am*rlcan-bullt planes, ineluding th* Loi khred Hudson re-i-onnalssance bomber and tbe new American Consolidated PBY American built flymg forfreeae* al*o have been assigned to this RAF brain h and may already be In operation. But the greatest danger to Britain - and It Is Indeed grave —ls la> k of escort warship*, apectflcally destroyers and submarine chatera. The » World War detroyert from the t’nlted States art uoW playing an important role In keeping the supply line* open but the mere fact that these ship* were required Immediately illustrates the M--b>a>tie»s of the siege. Apparently all of tbe Amerlcdß destroyer* have now been refftted , and are doing the job for which they were taken over. But the j first phase of their service wa» fill:.d with difficulties. The destroyer, were longer, narrower and leg* maneuverable ’nan tbe British j type The United State* told Btltish navy official* that they were In , »ad shape and offered to put them t in order but tbe British were In ! a burry. Hl* were immediately put Into dryd'H k to be refitted. The other* went into service at onl e aud were j refitted later, half a doien at a time Those that went directly into action suffered many minor mishaps. Steam joint* bunt at aea Knglne* required frequent repairs There were temporary breakdown* that forced them into port for brief periods, but In the •nd they did a Job that had to be done regardless of difficulties. Th,- British believe that destroyer.-.. cooperating with the coastal command * "aarial shepherds " < *n lick the submarine “wolf pack" now ranging the Atlantic a* they were Hiked before the capitulation ot France. British methods of submarine detection have been egtiaordlnarlly effective. They are based on a secret principle that apparently puttied tbe Germans until the surrender of France. Presumably. t h.. detection device which had been given to France fell Into German hand*, as there ha* been a change In U-boat tactic* In recent month*. Early in the war. the U-boat flrd ll* torpedoes and then submerged. The motor* were shat off and the crew walked around In aioiking feet to avoid any no*e that might be picked up by the ordinary sound detector. That system proved Ineffective against British detection methods. Now the German *ubinarinea usually attack In the twilight. At such time they can gee the convoys but their own periscopes are hard to spot. They Are torpedoes from a considerable distance and then run at full spe>-d ou the surface. where a U-boat can travel faster than when submerged. The best defense against that type of attack la more escort ship*, loordlnattnr their work with airplane patrols. Hut when the British look around for more escort ships, they And no quick solution except in tbe United States navy. Three solution* of this predicament were suggested to me; that the U. H. might undertake to ea cort cargo ships; American entry Into the war so that the t’nlted I .State* navy could go into action against the submarines; turGler

trades of U. R warships to Britain M*anwhfi<* the coastal com mand's aerial “ahepherd dogs’ are herding convoys toward port and even take some through the Rng ifsh ch|nnet.
