'ENGLAND AVOIDS BATTLE"

E4NOLAND ANOIDS bAl LIE
England avoided battle although
tradition, her strength and the war
situation should have urged her to it.
Had England won such a battle, it
would have made our iron imports from
Sweden an impossiblity and the summa-
rine warfare could never have assumed
proportions so dangerous TO herself.
Great Britain preserved her fleet for
political reasons. She realized that a
battle with the German fleet might cost
her not only her place in the world, but
also her prestige among her allies and
even at home. The other reasons put
forward, such ass the denrth of docks
on the east coast, to enable her to eff
feet swift repairs after battle, arc not
convincing. 1t is not to the credit of
EnSiand's proud navy that she re-
Trained from giving battle.
(The only time the German fleet
stood up for battle, at Skagerack. the
British accepted the chance. The Ger
man strategy, however, was constantly
to run out and try to draw the British
over their mine fields or into subma-
rine nests. Since they held control of
the sea and were able to blockade Ger
many effectively, as all Germans tes-
tify, the British refused to enter upon
daredevil tactics and hunt the rats out
of their holes" as Churchill once put

While | have always tried to do my
duty as sheriff as I saw it, this good
fortune of mine is not attributable to
any special merit Of my own, but to
the loyalty of my friends throughout

you, one and all, for your loyal sup
port, which has discouraged opposition.
and has resulted in my nomination
without the strife and turmoil OF a
strenuous campaign and I desire to
thank you, one and all, for your
friendship and support and 1t shall be
my earnest desire, during the next
four years, to do my full duty as an
