U -Boat Menace To Bridge of Ships
Across Atlantic Has Been Defeated
With hundreds of thousands. of
soldiers and billions of dollars'
worth of supplies streaming to
Europe over a bridge of ships, it
is both welcome and important
news to hear how safe that bridge
has become and how thoroughly
the one grave menace to it, the
German submarine, Inas been de-
feated. According to the First
Lord of the Admiralty, A. V.
Alexander, Allied convoy losses are
now less than one ship in every
thousand, and so far as is known
only one major troop transport of
the many thousands sent abroad
has been sunk throughout the entire
war. Considering the needs of the
battlefronts, every loss is grievous,
but the rate of loss has become
so small that its reduction to the
present level represents a -great
victory and one of the decisive
factors in the whole war says, The
New York Times.
Hitler's Victory Weapon
For in Hitler's calculations the
submarine, snore than any other
weapon, was to be the weapon of
victory. It was to isolate western
Europe, Great Britain and Russia
from outside help so that he could
conquer them,one by one by means
of his armed legions, his tanks
and planes. And if his subinar-
rines had lived up to his calcul-
ations, who can say be would not
have succeeded? In fact, in those
dark days when Britain stood alone
and when the Germans boasted of
submarine tolls exceeding sed ng a million
tons a month, borne in the main
by British shipping, German hopes
of starving out the island fortress
were flying high, and may have
contributed to Hitler's decision to
turn against Russia first. They
were still flying high when Ger-
man submarines operated directly
off the American east coast and
Japanese submarines started ` to
shell the west coast. aow des-
perately Hitler tried to cut the
Allied life -line is indicated by the
fact that he sent his best and cost-
liest battleships and cruisers on
lone raiding expeditions even at
the risk of their annihilation. '
Hitler's Miscalculation
But, as in every other case,
Hitler again miscalculated. The
bridge'of ships remained 'intact, and
convoy losses which still amounted
to one in every 1S1 ships in 1041
dropped to one in every 233 the
following year and to one in every
344 for the whole of 1943. The
submarine "wolf packs” were the
last challenge, but after their de-
feat the rate could be kept below
one in very thousand throughout
the whole second half of last year.
As a result .America was able to
send more titan 5,000,000 troops and
their supplies across the Atlantic,
and in addition to supply allies
with more than $20,000,000,000
worth of war materials of all kinds
of which a good part went to
Russia. Even on that dangerous
route 88 per cent of the supplies
went through. Both Mr. Alex-
ander and Secretary Knott warn
that Germany has r great number
of submarines in reserve and will
undoubtedly make another try,
v hich •:night conte when our forces
are fighting on the Continent and
are most dependent on a contin-
uous flow of supplies and reserves.
But with the British fleet stronger
now than ever before "in relation
to the enemy naval strength," and
with the American Navy now the
largest in world history, the Ger-
man submarine has lost the im-
portance as a decisive weapon that
it once possessed.
Britain's Pledge
In contrast, American submar-
ines, aided y planes and surface
vessels, are doing to Japan exactly
what Hitler started out to do to
Britain and America, They have

OTTAWA REPORTS
That The Greatest Food Needs Of
Britain Are Livestock and

While the war across the Atlan-
tic approaches its zenith and the
lengthening • days at home herald
the approach of a new growing
season, the need for the greatest
production in history beckons every
Canadian on the land to continue
doing his utmost to meet Allied food
needs.

ion -Provincial conference in Ottawa

very short for a considerable num-
ber of years after this war is won,"
he is quoted as sassing.

Dr. W. H. Barton, Dominion De-
puty Minister of Agriculture and
Chairman of the Agricultural Food
Board, points out that during the
war the position of food has been
transferred from one of conzpara-
tively low priority to one of press-
ing nee'l. Dairy and livestock pro-
ducts, Dr. Barton says, are in great-
est demand and if supplies of these
are to be maintained, and if pos-
sible, increased, assured supplies of
feed grain nt;ill be necessary,
In addition to the record Can-
adian deniand for food, Cana:la's
Armed Forces must be, fed and the
need •of-. the United Kingdom
for p o•r k, cheese, egos, milk,
wheat and flour met. Required
for the 100,000 Red Cr o s s
parcels for prisoners -of -war packed
each week, are 100,000 lbs. each of
butter and dried milk an'I 25,000
lbs. of cheese: Armed Forces can-
teens overseas receive special al-
locations from Canada. Convoy,
warships;' and other vessels need
huge quantities of food when they
are re -victualled in Canadian ports,
while Empire outposts and other
United Nations have a claim, on the
food that Canada can spare.
• The challenge to the Canadian
farm family- is a heavy one.

There'll be enough of everything
the gardener needs to plant a gar-
den this year, according to offic-
ials of the Department of Agricul-
ture—plenty of all kinds of vege-
table seeds, enough garden tools,
adequate supplies of fertilizer, and
some pressure cookers.

From the Agricultural Supplies
Board conies wbrd that although
livestock producers in Eastern Can-
ada were handicapped by the poor
grain harvest in 1043, the overall
position with respect to feed sup-
plies is still favorable, due to large
reserves in, the \Vest. This means
that the livestock program planned
for 1944 should not suffer because
of insufficient supplies of feed
grain.

ket quality of lambs, it has shown
