All so Destroyers
Sent to Britain
Are Now in Use
Vessels Reported
Directed Chiefly
Against Subs
By the Associated Press

LONDON, Feb. 21-All the
destroyers which Britain OBJ
tanned from the United States
now are in waters around the
British Isles and have been
mostly concerned with anti
submarine operations" it was
learned authoritatively today.
Fifty destroyers were trans
ferred under a deal for bases on
British Empire soil in the West
ern Hemisphere, but six of them
went to Canada.
The informant would not dis
close the results of any Of the
destroyers' operations. but
praised the service they are Civ
ing.
The spokesman said Britains
naval building program nov is
at a rate Of higher tonnage than
the peak period of the last war
and if an admiral could collect
all the Warships turned out since
the war started he would be
sailing "a nice sizable fleet"
He said merchant ship con-
struction also was better than
that of the last war although
more ships of all sorts are needed.
What really saved the situa-
ton" in 1917 and 1918. he said.
was delivery of 100000 tons of
shipping built outside Britain.
He expressed hope of similar help
in this war from the United
States and the dominions.
