Convoy, Escorted by Airplanes, Is The Best Method of Submarine Defense

is the fact that no other fleet has as many battleships now as it had in the last war. Great Britain, for inc stance, has l8 dreadnaughts now as compared with 60 in 1917; Germany has seven, as compared with 3S. Nevertheless, the navy feels that destroyers and cruisers--both of which types the nation possesses in greater numbers than in i9l7--- reach their highest degree of use- fulness only when they are com bined with battleships in naval op- erations. Furthermore, in the last war, the American navy was able to concentrate practically all of it's strength in the Atlantic; today--un- less the picture changes radically that probably would not be the case. PROTECTION JOB
 IS BIG ONE
 Protection of American commerce will be a harder job than 1t was last time for the simple reason that there is more American commerce to protect
 Americas merchant marine is considerably more extensive now than it was 25 years ago. Since there will be more ships to convoy, the conveying will naturally take more of the navy's ships, time and effort.
 One extremely interesting prob! lem--so far totally unanswered--is the extent to which this government might be willing to protect its mer- chant ships If 1t remains neutral and unrestricted submarine warfare a la 1917, is declared.
 Will 1t convoy its ships to their destinations, with its warships or- dered to fight off any submarine att tacksP If so, how long will 1t re- main neutral2
 In other words, will unrestricted submarine warfare again take America into a Europen wear as 1t did 9 years ago?
 NEXT: The army.

U. s. Needs
 More Capital Ships of War
Third of four Cation stories on America's position in the current crisis,
By BRUCE CAPTION Waterbury Democrat Washington
 COrrespOndent


 Washington, Sept 6-1t was mostly the submarine that got the United States into the last Euro pean war. Whether there will be unrestricted submarine warfare on neutral commerce in the new war is anybody's guess; if there is, every body involved Is likely to find that the picture is good deal different than 1t was before.
 While the sub is better fighting machine than 1t was in 1917, me- thodS of combating 1t have im- proved, too, Experts in the Navy Department here believe that, if Germany seeks 10 put a submarine bloc.ade around England today, the job will be a good deal tougher than it was the last time,
 The convoy system is the best method yet found to break up sub marine attacks on merchant ship ping. The British will unquestion- ably establish one at once,
 And, it is suggested here that the conveys effectiveness would be greatly increased by putting at least one aircraft carrying cruiser in ev- cry convoy escort, As a spotter of lurking submarines, the airplane would be of great value; subs thus spotted could be run down and sunk by destroyers, and the convoy could proceed unharmed.
 GERMAN FLEET
 NOT so STRONG
 Another factor, as naval men here sec 1t, Is that Germany does not have the battle fleet it had before In the World War, the German fleet accomplished little positively, but it did immob!li2e the greater part of the British fleet,
 Today a smaller proportion of Britain'S navy will be needed to watch the German battle fleet. The rest can strengthen the convoy sys- tenn, hunt down rowing submarines or other commerce destroyers and patrol shipping lanes.
 On the other side Of the picture | there Is the fact that the submarine now Is a more effective weapon. It can cruise farther, stay down longer, travel faster, and shoot straighter tlan 1t could 20 years ago. In other words, its chances of getting into a | commerce lane and of doing damage after it gets there are greater-sub for Sub-than before.
 Germany today Is believed 10 nave approximately 50 submarines
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-09-06

will not accomplish much by rowing the open seas, and If 1t seeks to op- crate close to enemy ports, the en- emy's own air force will be at hand to beat 1t off.
 AMERICAN NAVY
 HAS $50 FIGHTERS"
 As far as the American navy is concerned, the state of preparedness today is considered relatively = slightly less satisfactory than It was In 1917.
 This does not apply to personnel, nor to the quality of equipment. Tn both of those fields, the navy is as well prepared as any-if not a little better But navy men point out
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-09-06

that a much smaller proportion of the nations total strength today is composed of capital ships than was the case when the last war began.
 Today the United States fleet comprises about $50 ships which the navy Is willing to classify as fight ers"; the navy has about 200 others, but they'd be useless in any actual combat,
 Twenty-Five years ago the navy had only l65 fighting ships-bu: .t had twice as many battleships as 1t has today It had 30 then; 1t has Is today-and one of the IS Is too old for active service.
 The other side of that, of course,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-09-06

in seryice-nearly twice as many as in 1914. Some 20 more are known to be under construction and 1t is as- sumed that production can be stepped up to the World war basis of 10 per month without much de- lay,
 Just what the airplane can do as commerce raider is not entirely clear. Naval men here are inclined to doubt that 1t can be very effect- i've, except in limited, localized areas, Merchant ships, they say, can easly be armed with anti-air- craft batteries; convoy escorts will be well able to keep single planes away from their charges; a plane

 Crime Jury
National Drive Gets Under Way in New York-G-
 Men Are on Hand

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-The spec ial Federal Crime Jury has opened it's national drive against crime by questioning witnesses under a strict cloud of secrecy.
 The hearings are held in a guarded court room on the sixth floor of the Federal Building ad- joining offices of the Federal Bu- reau of Investigation. Federal of- ficials apparently were taking no chances of exposing the identity of their witnesses for fear of re- taliation at the hands of fugitive criminals.
 One of the witnesses questioned late yesterday is believed to have been a gray-haired woman who is believed to have nursed comrades of the arch fugitive industrial racketeer, Louis Lepke Buchalter.
 Another witness is described as a heavy-set middle-aged man. Both were taken up to the court room in a private elevator operated only by G-Men. Edgar Hoover, chief G-Man, is on hand with a special picked crew to aid in the investi- gationS.
