UNDATED, July (4D - Inten sifed U-Boat campaign, striking while the British escort system was upset by the collapse of France, scored admittedly heavy" losses among Great Britain's merchant shipping. An authoritative London report said wholesale sinkings were record ed in the three-week period from June 2 to B, as the escort ships were diverted to withdraw Brit iSh, French and other Allied troops "al. the way from Best to St. Jean de Luz," at a cost esti- mated at 186,000 tons. It was in dicated that Italian subs might be helping the Germans in a re- neWed underseas warfare to crip pie imports and vitally needed foodstuffs by Britain in her dark est month.
 In the World War, April, 1917, the peak of Germany's unrestict ed sub warfare, Britain lost 196 ships totalling 100000 tons. At that time the island kingdom had 5,;.s.asss y six weeks suprly ef food left. Late official and unofficial figures placed the British losses in the current war at 784,000 tons up to May 26, followed by Last weeks hiatus, of which none were reported sunk. This figure, in today's announcement would make the total British loss almost million tons. British reports es tinated that German losses up to June 4 totatled 830,000 tons.

Pan-American Action
Possible on Rumored
British Blockade
Governments Studying
Reports Of Worships at
Martinique, Hull Says
BY the Associated Press.

The possibility of joint Pan
American action with regard to the
reported British blockade of Marti-
nlque arose Yesterday.
At a press conference. Secretary
of State Hull said that this and
other American governments care
fully were studying reports that
British warships had hemmed in the
French Caribbean island to prevent
the departure of a French aircraft
carrier. He added that they. now'
lacked information on which to base
any general policy.
Machinery set up by Pan-Aner-
ican conferences at Buenos Aires in
1886 and at Lima in 1888 provides
for hemisphere consultation in the
event of world peace disruption or
of any threat to American nations.
In Neutrality Belt.
In addition, declaration of
American nations at Panama last
September outlined a 3O0-mile neu-
trality belt which embraces Martin
ique.
Secretary Hull, saying he expected
to attend the conference of foreign
officers of 81 American countries at
Havana July 20, indicated that it
would cover the whole field of
Western Hemisphere problems, in
cluding the possible establishment
OF United States air bases in South
America.
The State Department official de-
clared he could not say now whether
this Government might call to the
attention of Great Britain and
France the reported blockade of
Martinique. He said, too, that
question of whether the United
States was ready to seize British
and French islands in this hemi-
sphere if Germany sought to take
them was a bridge to be crossed
when we came to it.
French Embassy spokesmen said
they had no information regarding
any blockade of Martinique, and
British Embassy authorities express
ed the view that reports of such
maneuVer involved "a great deal
OF imagination"
HulPs Stand Applauded.
On Capitol Hill, Senators gener-
ally applauded Mr. Hulls declara-
ton yesterday reaffirming the Mon
roe Doctrine. Mr.. Hull's statement
was made in response to a note
from Germany that the administra-
tion's Interpretation of the doctrine
was "untenable."
Chairman Pittman of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee as
serted that Germany's note NAV
have been designed "as a justifica-
ton for future violation of the
