Reich Speed Up
OF Sea Warfare
Seen in Speech

BERLIN. Jan. 31.-Chancellor
Htler's declaration in his Sports
palast speech that escorted and
uneScorted ships within range OF
German torpedo tubes will be tor
pedoed was in effect a proclama-
tion Of coming intensifcation of
Germany's warfare AZ sea. au-
thoritative German quarters said
today.
But they declared the intensi-
fled U-boat campaign would moi
be extended beyond the present
war-zone around England.
They also declared that German
submarine operations will be con-
fined 10 British ships and 10 con-
voyed vessels en- route to England,
whatever the nationality of such
vessels.
Authoritative quarters conceded
that this Interpretation of the
fuehrer's speech represents frank
warning against 'foolhardy en-
trance" of American ships into the
blockade zone.
These circles pointed out that
many previous warnings have been
issued that disaster was certain
to hit" any ship entering the block
ade zone. They said inclusion Of
American ships under Hitler's def
milton would not change the situa-
ton on the high seas.
On the whole. Hitler's address
was regarded as confirming the
opinion generally held in Germany
that the coming Spring will wit
ness a decisive showdown against
England" on all fronts.
