religion, on economies, on poll
tics or on laws, it hardly seems
likely that they would ever agree
on such vital subject as war.
But there is one thing we do
agree on. That is the desire to pre-
serve the freedom which makes it
possible for us to express our diff
ferences of opinion, to live diff
ferent kinds of lives, to vote for
different types of politicians -
and to do it without any danger
of being put in a concentration
camp for not keeping in step with
the crowd.
The question of the day, then,
is: by what means can we be most
assured that freedom in Ameri-
ca will be preserved?
No matter how much we argue,
no matter how much we disagree
on methods, we are united on our
goal. And for that goal we all are
willing to make sacrifices which
proves necessary.

with Germany, If not superiority, by
midsummer this year.
British planes. especially their fast
fighters such as the eight-gun
Supermarine Spitfire and the Hawk
er Hurricane, are already considered
by American military experts to be
superior to anything the Germans
put in the air.
The two new British fighter
planes, the Whirlwind and the
Tornado, which were thrown into
the battle of Britain just before
the old year ended, are even better
than their Spitfire and Hurricane
prototypes.
Specifications on the new planes
are not yet available, but it is an
open secret in aviation circles that
they are more heavily armed, miles
faster and have q higher ceiling
than anything Britain previously
had.
U. S. Planes Popular.
At the same time, the British

they have found the answer to
night blitzes in a special variation
Of the Boulton Defiant equipment

which makes 1t possible for them to

sance and light bombing, have taken

attacking and sinking British ships
within q few hundred miles Of the
British coast itself.
British officials and neutral ship
ping circles agree that Germany's
sea siege against Ensland's tight
little island Is even more serious
than In 1917.
Eager for More Ships.
British naval circles sre grateful
for the destroyers from the United
States, but say Britain's maritime
situation has grown worse since
their delivery three months ago.
The British want ships, and are
not particular how they get them.
They have suggested that Ameri-
can freighters and tankers, operat-
ing or building, be sold, leased,
swapped or given outright to Eng
land. British Shipping Minister Sir
Ronald Cross said a few days ago
that he had "covetous eyes" on for
eign ships laid up in American ports.
The British say, however, any Of
these aids would not help much un-
less enough American warships were
provided-under the British flag or
under the American flag-to CONVOY
the defenseless merchantmen safe
ly across the seas.
More romantic but less pressing
for the moment is the war in the
air and the means with which to
wage it.
1,500 Planes From u. s.
The British during the last year,
according to Official figures. have re-
ceived approximately $500 planes
from the United States.
Actually, I was told just before
I left England In mid-December,
the number is far in excess Of l.
500.

By TAYLOR HENRY,

Associated Press War CORRESPONDENT.
NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Germans
are sinking British ships faster,
British shipping circles say, than
British shipyards, working at high
speed. can turn them out
This is probably the paramount
fact underlying the question OF laid
to Britain" today.
1t is not this articles purpose to
60 into the pros and cons OF aid
to Britain, but to report some OF the
salient facts and claims behind the
pleas that have been made for aid.
At the moment, the main fields
in which aid is sought are planes
and ships. Of these two, the more
urgent appears to be ships.
The British still boast that their
ships rule the seas. but they have
discovered the menace to their mari
time commerce is even more serious
than the menace from the air.
Their marine deficiencies are in
both freight ships and warships,
and the lack of enough fighting
vessels to protect frelght vessels
leads to more casualties among the
freighters.
Conveys Lightly Guarded.
The British are sending conveys
of slow-moving freighters, 20 and
Is in a group, across the Atlantic
strung out over as much as 80 miles
of sea with only one converted mer-
chant cruiser and perhaps a de-
stroyer to guard them.
The destroyer, likely as not, is
one of those released from coastal
patrol duty and short-range convoy
work by the so destroyers obtained
from the United States in the de-
fense base deal
These conveys, and those like
them steaming in on other ocean
highways, are virtually England's
only link with the outside world.
They are the prey of the Nazi coun.
blockade of surface raiders, sub
marines and coastal bomber planes
German air and sea raiders are
Evening star., 1941-01-09

and are holding their own in per-
formance.
British pilots with whom I have
talked say they like to fly the
American planes. They describe
them as being soundly built, easy
to fly and reliable in a pinch.
This is borne out by the almost
phenomenally small number Of
losses of American planes. Figures
are secret, but 1t Is known that
on a proportional basis the losses
of American planes have been con-
siderably less than Of British.
u. S. Armament Lighter.
Up to mid-December, for example,
not an American plane being flown
from Canada to England had been
lost at sea, although British experts
said they did not expect to keep
the record up throughout the
winter.
The only complaint British flyers
have against American planes is
that they are less heavily armed
than the British, but that is being
fast remedied both in the original
models as they are built in the

American bombers, particularly
the long range type equipped with
the Army's Sperry bomb sight. we're
loudly welcomed by the British as
making up a temporary shortage in
the planes with which the r. A. r.
is pounding Germany's key indus
