Progress is being made, he told the House of Commons in his| fourth weekly war report, but “quick | results cannot be expected.” Winston Churchill, first Lord of | the Admiralty, took a more encouraging attitude, however, in telling] Commons that the Nazi U-boat] menace was being rapidly reduced | every week; that possibly one-third | of the German submarines at sea! had been destroyed; that German merchandise seized and used totaled 67,000 tons more than had been lost by Britain ih submarine attacks and that the Allied forces hunting down | U-boats would be three times as! great late next month than they were at the start of the war.

At the same time, he said, friendly discussions are under way with neutral Governments in an effort to carry out the economic war without arousing antagonism against the] Allied powers and to emphasize the! “thinly veiled menace” which Ger-| many presents to the neutral countries,

This menace, he said, “in the past few days has been translated into action by sinking of three neutral | ships under circumstances consti- | tuting a clear breach of international law.” Germany, Mr. Chamberlain charged, had shown “complete and | callous disregard for humanity and | for the rules of submarine warfare! to which they are solemnly pideigea| in attacking all shipping bound for | England. Mr, Churchill said tife British convoy system to protect merchant shipping was now in *‘full operation” | both for incoining and outgoing vessels and that ships “now leaving these shore are defensively armed against submarines and airplanes.” The Polish people “have not given up the struggle,” Premier Chamberlain told the House. The whole world is deeply moved by the heroism of the defenders of Warsaw and of the Hela Peninsula (near Danzig),” he said. The Polish defenders of Warsaw and the Hela Peninsula are ‘“holding out against surrounding German forces despite ruthless and continuous bombardment,” Mr. Chamberlain said. He added that on the Western Front, the French continue to “make progress in certain localities” despite increasingly ‘‘energetic German reaction.” The French, he said, had ‘“succeeded in maintaining all their gains intact” against Nazi counterattacks He said the dominion air strength now is being made ready for use

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.—The flood of Congressional mail and telegrams on the neutrality issue, which reached a high point last | week subsided markedly yesterday. Predictions that President Roosevelt's address to Congress last Thursday would bring an increas- | ing volume of letters, petitions and | wires over the week-end, apparently have not been borne out. Congressmen explained the falling tide of mail and telegrams in two

ways:

Those opposed to changing the] present law argued it proved that the President's speech had failed | to “strike fire” in the country and] to bring a great mass of approving | letters. Those who agree with Mr. Roose- | velt’s proposal to repeal the present | embargo said that the effect of anti- | repeal radio speeches has worn off, | and that many who were influenced | by these speeches have changed their minds sinc: hearing from the President.
