May Require ConUoys

Among the methods 10 he
studied. in an effort TO thwart the
increasing German threat TO vital
war supplies from America, IN
doubtedly the first will be the
question Of convoy.
Should the present system be
continued and strengthened by
additional escort vessels. or should
IL be abandoned and superseded
by a lane OF deStroNerS across
the Atlantic? Whatever the an
swer may be. the ever mounting
toll Of shipping losses must be
definitely reduced.
II is probable that certain ships
in future conveys may be fitted
with catapults capable of launch
ing planes for scouting purposes.
And. perhaps, even trial may be
given TO the suggested scheme Of
routing conveys 10 pass close
enough to Newfoundland, Green
land and Iceland to permit bomb
crs from nearby bases to scout
ahead and cover sea areas over
which conveys must pass.
To sum up the matter, IL the
United States is TO build ships and
planes and supply other munitions
and food for the British. il stands
10 reason that we must adopt some
affirmative method-maybe to the
extent Of furnishing escort vessels
to assure delivery of these sin
ews Of war.
We cannot remain inactively
watching these being sunk in the
Atlantic-and perhaps off our own
coast. The longer we delay the
more costly will it be, both to
Britain and TO America.

Atlantic was given serious con-
sideration before the navy
agreed to- release those so
average destroyerS 10 Britain.
But whatever happens, there
will he no weakening of the
feet in the Pacific"
The convoy program has been
drawn up by high national defense
officials, including naval officers.
From hints dropped. it seems
the plan does not include actual
Of British ships into the
war zones. The conveying under
consideration appears TO be a sort
of protective surveillance. under
which United States cruisers and
destrOyeTs would guard the mer-
chant ships, say. half way across
the Atlantic. with British destroy
erS taking up the convoy duty as
the vessels near the waters Of the
war zone.
This could be accomplished,
some authorities believe. without
committing an overt act Of war
against Germany by merely eX-
tending the American neutrality
zone from its present 306-r1ile
limit to the limits of Western
Hemisphere waters.
