Note-One reason for the constant
German claims of sinking British
warships is to wiring denials from
the British which will reveal just
what their naval strength is. Actu-
ally, aviators usually cannot tell
when they sink vessel. They can't
afford to remain in the vicinity to
see whether it sinks. Nor do the
Germans know just how strong the
British are in certain areas, such
as the Mediterranean and the North
sea. So they try to get revealing
denials from the admiralty.

Subsequently, the Reconstruction

of the mines. The U. S. govern
ment was to put up approximately
one-third of the cash, the Brazilian
government about one-third and the
U. S. Steel corporation was to put
up the rest.
However, u. S. Steel wanted to
know what guarantees it would have
in case of a repetition in Brazil in
the future of the Mexican oil ex-
