Harbor, and she steamed safely of
at % knots. I dwell upon this Incl
dent not at all because I think It
disposes of the danger in the central
Mediterranean but in order to show
you that there, as elsewhere, we in
tend to give good account of our
selves.
But, after all. the fate of this war
is going to be settled by what hap
pens on the oceans, in the air and,
above all. in this island.
1t seems now to be certain that
the Government and people of the
United States intend to supply us
with all that is necessary for vic
tory. In the last war the United
States sent two million men across
the Atlantic, but this is not a war
of vast armies, hurling immense
masses of shells a. one another. We
do not need the gallant armies
which are forming throughout the
American Union. We do not need
them this year, nor next year, nor
any year that can foresee.
Needs Far More Shipping
Than Britain Can Build.
But we do need most urgently en-
immense and continuous supply OF
war materials and we need them
here and We need to bring them
here. We shall need a great mass
of shipping in 1912, far more than
we can build ourselves If we are to
maintain and augment our war ef-.
fort in the west and in the east.
These facts are, of course, well
known to the enemy, and we must
therefore expect that Herr Hitler
will DO his utmost to prey upon our
shipping and reduce the volume of
American supplies entering these
islands. Having conquered France
and Norway, his clutching fingers
reach out on both sides of us into
the ocean. I have never underrated
this danger and you know I have
never concealed 1t from you.
Therefore. hope you will believe
me when I say that I have complete
confidence in the Royal Navy. aided
by the air force of the coastal COM
mand. and that, In one way or an
other, 1 am sure they will be able to
meet every changing phases of this
truly mortal struggle, and that sus-
tanned by the courage of our mer-
chant Seamen and of the dockers
and workmen of all our ports, we
shall outwit. out-maneuver, out
fight and out-last the worst that the
enemv's malice and ingenuity can

third time in 80 years have been
made to embark upon a needless and

In the Central Mediterranean the
Italian Quisling, who is called Mus

and his new order, in the hopes OF

geStapo and PruSSian bayonets to
enforce their rule upon their fellow

matter will go, but at any rate we
shall do our best to fight for the
Central Mediterranean.
I dare say you will have noticed a
very significant air action which was
fought over Malta a fortnight ago.
The Germans sent an entire Gesch-
wader of dive bombers to Sicily
They seriously injured our new air
craft carrier Illustrious, and then as
this wounded ship was sheltering in
Malta Harbor they concentrated
upon her all their force so as to beat
her to pieces.
Says Nazis Lost Nearly
80 Planes at Malta.
But they were met by the batter
les of Malta. which is one of the
strongest defended fortresses In the
world against air attack. They were
met by the feet air arm and by the
Royal Air Force and in two or three
days they had lost. out of $50 dive
bombers, upward of $3.50 OF which
were destroyed in the air and 40 on
the ground. Although the IlluStrious
in her damaged condition was one
of the great prizes of the air and
naval war, the German Geschwader
accepted the defeat. They would
not come any more.

made to the Illustrious in Malta
