CHURCHILL PLEDGES CONTINUED FROM PAOB ONE globe." 5. Nail firing i»rtles are "busy every day in a dogen countries" of occupied Europe and "above all the Russians (In occupied area*} are being butchered by the thousand* and ten* of thousands '' British officials in the past repeatedly had promised that the royal air force would be built up as rapidly a* possible to superiority over the German air force. Churchill's statement that it was now "at least" equal in slxe and numbers Indicated that the British might now hold an edge in the air. The German air fleet earlier this year had been estimated by the British at about Di,<*oo first line planes and an equal number of reserves. making about 36.000 plane* available, but most of this force was shifted to the eastern front when Russia was invaded. Germany has suffered heavy losses In the east but is believed to be producing about 2,000 plane* a month. In regard to the Mediterranean, Churchill said: "The passage of our own supplies In many directions through that sea. the roken morale of the Italian navy—all of these show that we are still masters there." Churchill spoke at the lord mayors luncheon at Mansion House. In elaborating on the predicted Hitler peace offensive, Churchill said: "We have been told from many quartern that we must soon expect what I* called a peace offensive Irra Berlin. "All the usuai sign* and symptoms already are manifest -a* the foreign escretary (Anthony Eden) will confirm—in the neutral countries and all signs point in one direction. "They all say that the guilty men who have let hell loose upon the world are hoping to escape with their fleeting triumph and ill gotten plunder from the cloelng net of doom " "We owe R to ourselves, we owe It to our Russian allies and to the government and people of the United States," he continued, "to make It absolutely clear that whether we are supported or alone, however long and hard the toll may be. the British nation and his majesty's government at the head of that nation iq intimate concert with (he governments of the great domlnlona, will never enter into

any negotiations with Hitler or with any party In Germany which represent* the Nail regime." In reference to the "most frightful" losses suffered by the German* on the eastern front and the growth of the royal air force with the aid of American-built planes, Churchill said: "Now we have ail air force which at least Is equal in alxe and number not Io speak of quality to German air power." The Germans, he said, after suffering great losses to their military machine are "on the barren steppe* of Ruaaia exposed to the approach Ing aeverltiea of winter." The prime minister praised the aid of the United States navy In the Atlantic. He said that Britain'* inability to send warship* to the Pacific was due to "the effective help we are getting from the United States In the Atlantic, the sinking of the German battleship Bismarck, our splendid new battleship* and aircraft carriers of the largest sixe a* well a* the cowing Italian navy."
