British Ship Needs Studied
Vessels to Guarantee Safety Of Conveys

Navy. Both in British interests in
the Far East and our own, this
task would draw very seriously both
in destroyers and cruisers from our
Pacific force when our Atlantic
force is fully occupied already in
patrol duty.
We could vastly decrease the sink
ing below the danger point, and
the more effectively if we had more
destroyers, but that means con-
flict which would insure our entry
into the war.
u. S. Navy Recognizes Need.
Our Navy has recognized the
need of more destroyers by an order
for an additional 40 to fill out our
tWo-ocean program. These will take
from 1S months to two years to
build.
Preparation for blitzkreig and
LuftWaffe warfare may warrant in
Guiding in our program the mass
production of destroyers of kind
which will serve for patrol, if not
for fleet action, as the over-age
destroyers have served for Britain.
All of which carries no sugges-
ton that Britain does not need
more ships. She would not have
enough if submarine sinkings were
stopped. And all ships of the neu-
trail nations should be in the British
service. From reliable sources I
learn that it is contemplated that
not only those in our own but in
Latin American ports shall be.

New Jersey c. o. Urges
All Possible British Aid

BY the Associated Press.
NEWARK, N. j., Dec. 23.-The
New Jersey State C. I. o. Indus
trial Councils Executive Committee
adopted resolution Saturday calling
for immediate and all possible aid
short of war by the United States
to Great Britain.
Irving Abramson, newly elected
president, presented the resolution,
which stated it was to the interest
of labor and liberalism to see to
it that relationships are defeated
and democracy encouraged.
Labor's right to organize depends
on the maintenance of democracy,
which the totalitarian relationships
of Europe are trying to crush"
Neil Brant, international repre-
sentative of the United Electrical.
Radio and Machine Workers of
America, opposed the resolution.

war material to replace that sent
to the bottom of the sea? Why not
also the means to insure the safety
of merchant conveys?
Very vivid in memory is the ap-
peal I heard from the officers and
men of a British destroyer I was
on last March in the North Sea,
before the Nazis had the coast of
Norway, let alone the coasts of
Flanders and France, which so
vastly widened the area of patrol.
Even then the admiralty had not
enough destroyers.
so Destr0yers Were Old Type.
The so over-age destroyers we
sent to the British, though a great
help, were not enough. They were
the type assembled from standard
fabricated shapes, which we pro-
duced in three months from the
day their keels were laid in 1918.
Before the armistice the Fore River
Co. was turning out one a day. 1t
takes less time to build a destroyer
than new cargo ship, which may
be sunk for lack of escort.
That swift, agile hound, the de-
stroyer, with its bite, it's depth
charge, remains the most depend
able answer to the submarine. The
hounds scent is the listening device
which locates the submerged as
sassin. Between the two wars this
was supposed to have been quick
ened and perfected for a wider range.
But it has not fulfilled in practice
in this war the promise of improve
ment, valuable as it Is. And this
is another reason why Britain can
not have too many destroyers.
If she had zoo, say, of a modern
lied mass-production kind, they
could operate across the breadth of
the Atlantic from Halifax and home
bases. They would be in sufficient
force with every convoy to deal
with the staggered groups of Nazi
submarines waiting for their prey.
May Send New Order.
Possibly a folloW-up order for
destroyers will come from Britain.
But the question raised is whether
they will come in time when time
and speed are the essence of modern
blitzkrieg warfare.
We might spare so more of our
average destroyers, which would
draw heavily on our present fleet,
already short of 20 destroyers as its
adequate complement.
There Is another alternative, of
which preliminary studies have been
made, not on the basis of sentiment,
but reality. We could undertake to
protect British shipping with our

U. S.-Canada Threat Seen.
Everything depends then on
whether Britain's power is increased.
To this end American foreign policy
is. dedicated even at the risk of

thus far is sufficient provocaUlon

United States in the event that the
Nazis really conquer Britain. For
then Americas alignment with Cam

America is a passive belligerent
