Churchill Claims British
Shipping Losses Cut
TWO-Thirds Since july
tBy Associated press,

|. LONDON, Sept. 30.--Painting
the most optimistic picture a
British leader has produced since
the early days of the war, Prime
Minister Winston Churchill this
morning told commons British
shipping losses nave been cut
two-thirds since July.
The empire no longer stands
alone, the prime minister cried
IN praising the military stand of
the Russian armies and the
growing production of the Unit
ed States.
Churchill, who won approval
! for a $4,000, 100000 war fund,
warned. however, that both the
United States and Britain must be
prepared to make sacrifices be-
fore Hitlerism eventually is
defeated
He warned that Germany,
striking deep into Russia, may
at any moment establish stable
lines of defense and turn to new
conquests-the Suez canal, Gil
braltar, or England, herself.
May Bomb Rome
Answering appeals for a knock
out blow to drive Italy from the
war, Churchill declared that
Rome is not exempt from Raj
bombings, and will be attacked
whenever it is considered neces-
sary by the armed forces. He
told of other attacks on Italy,
and declared that German and
Italian shipping losses are up $50
per cent over a year ago.
The prime minister said an in
vasion of the continent is being
studied by Britain's war leaders,
but he said, I'VE must speak
cautiously because the United
States and Russia must be con-
sidered''.
Watching the military struggle
of the Russians and the vast in
dustrial efforts of the United
States, Churchill declared, 1--WE
may draw comfort and good
cheer.
