ALLIES MUST MAKE AIR And
SEA OFFENSIVE TO BEAT GERMANY

Practically all the younger navy
officers here and many OF the older
ones are opposed 10 merely defensive
work. They say an offensive Is
gamble with good chances for allied
success; that defensive warfare Is
only putting or temporarily German
control Of the seas.
There ought 70 be a naval policy
directed toward an offensive plan, "
said one authority today. The pres
ent plan Of the allies concerning sub
marines is to protect ships against
them after they are out IN the Allan
tic. by cover ng as large areas as pos
sihle with patrol ships. These areas
are only a small percentage OF the At
, lantic and will continue so.
An offensive would be any definite
attempt 10 keep the submarine from
getting out into the ocean.
This would take any one OF a
dozen forms. from a direct drive at
Germany's naval bases and navy nan
ufacturing plants by combined naval
and aerial attacks, down 70 and includ
ing keeping the submarine in a den
mite sea area by means OF mines. de-
stroyers. nets and blimps. or small
dlrigibles.
Germany will win II she keeps on
at her present rate. II we gamble
on an offensive we may lose ships
but the chances would be In our favor
