By the Associated Press.
Aiming of merchant ships was
described by Secretary of the Navy
Knox today as one means of help
ing reduce American ship losses due
to submarine attacks in the battle
of the Atlantic.
At press conference the Secretary
was asked whether the employment
of tactics new in submarine war
fare as compared with World War
methods meant that the armlng
of merchantmen would not be so ef-
fective as in 191718.
Emphatically Mr.. Knox replied
that placing guns on such vessels
would help reduce losses.
Submarines have no love for
ships with guns on their decks"
Secretary Knox declared. He said
that new U-boat tactics revolved
chiefly around hunting in packs.
He also noted that the subs ARE
hunting on the surface at night"
and he declared that the arming of
merchant vessels would make such
raiding operations much more diff
cult than when they were carried
out against unarmed conveys pro-
tected only by Warship escorts.
Silent on Recent Losses.
The Secretary declined comment
on recent losses of American naval
ships in a small area of the North
Atlantic west of Iceland. He said
that all the information the Navy
had received on the sinking of the
Reuben James had been given out
and that a belated report was made

fense effort, EMBELLISHMENTS in the
