Suggestions Offered.
"The best way to lick the sub
marine menace" Admiral Land said
ais to get it at the source; that is
to bomb the enemy shipbuilding
plants. The next best is probably
to bomb the repair and rest sta
tions where the submarines go when
not at sea. Other ameliorating in
f1uences would be:
81. A greater number of British
combatant ships in the convoy.
"2. British combat vessels convoy
ing ships farther out on their out
bound voyages.
"3. More British combat ships
meeting conveys at greater distances
out on their incoming voyages.
a. Use of conveys for slow ships
only. Under present conditions fast
merchant ships appear to have as
good a chance if not better out OF
the convoy than in it.
IS. Destroy the communications
between German aircraft and Ger
man submarines by destroying the
German air patrol.
"6. Utilize an air patrol in the
convoy"

Late buying that helped the mar
