"there is no reason" why It sh0ulc not be solved by offense, defense and replacement measures Of Brit ain, Canada and the United States Warning that the United Nations had reached a stern and somber mo ment of the war, but emphasizine that the situation defenitely had iin- proved in the last two months, he said:
 t"These months have seen new building of merchant ships which substantially outweigh losses" ht said in 3 speech.
 "They have seen the greatest ton mage of British botnbs dropped Or Germany.
 "They have covered the most num- erous safe arrivals of United States troops in the British Isles.
 'They have marked definite growth in Allied air superiority over Germany, Italy and Japan. Revealing that he had just visit ed the British grand fleet, Church i'll said:
 T have spent a few days going over a great many of our ships some back from the Mediterranean others back from fighting their way through with Russian supplies"
 Commenting on the German chaining of British prisoners, and Britain's retaliation by chaining German prisoners, Churchill pledg- ed that Britain would show nc weakness.
 T say that to show weakness of any kind to such man as Hitler is only to encourage him to further | atrocities, and you may be assured that no weakness will be shown"
 Two Months Not Good Churchill described August and September as mot the best, but at least the least bad months since January" in the war against sub- marines.
 "U-boat warfare still remains the greatest problem of the United Na- tions," he said. "But therey is no reason whatever why it should not be solved by the prodigious meas ureS of offense, defense and re- placement on which Great Britain Canada and above all the United States are now engaged"
 The present position of the Allies he said, calls in a high degree for f1rnness of spirit and will.
 Churchill said that recent speech es of Adolf Hitler, Hermann Goer- ing and Joachim Won Ribbentror among German leaders had reveal ed with considerable frankness' their state of mind.
 "It can clearly be heard above the customary boastings, and threats = the dull, low, whining note of fear. They were all speeches of men conscious of their built and conscious also of the law"
 Church paid tribute to King George and Queen Elizabeth and said the whole country owed them a debt.
 "In these years of trial and storm they have shared to the full the storms and hopes of the British nation," he said.
 T have seen the king gay, buoy ant and confident when the stones and rubble of Buckingham Palace lay newly scattered in heaps on the floors"
 Churchill made his speech at . function at which, with United States Ambassador John c. Winant 1 he received the freedom of the city of Edinburgh.
 Germany Shows Fear
 In interpreting the recent speech es of Hitler and other NaN leaders which he said revealed Germany's fear of the growing allied strength which ultimately would bring them to account, Churchill said:
 Tt is becoming pretty clear that the day is coming when it will here to be settled"
 Hitler's prospects had darkened Churchill said, to an immesaurable degree in the last two years, while at the same time Britain, the Uni ted States, Russia and China had moved forward through tribulation and sorrow. steadily onward from strength to strength"
 Hitler sees with amazement that our defeats are but stepping stones to victory, and that all his victories are stepping stones to ruin he said.
 Tt is apparent to me that this bad man saw quite clearly the shad- ow of slowly and remorselessly ap- preaching doom, and that he raile6 at fortune for mocking him with the glitter of heeting success"
 PraiSing Russian resistance, he said:
 'The heroic defense of Stalin. grad; the fact that the splendid armies everywhere are intact, un- beaten, unbroken nay, counter attacking with amazing energy along the whole front from Lenin- grad to the Caucasus mountains; the fearful losses suffered by the Germans, the near approach of an- other Russian winter all these grim facts which cannot be con- cealed cast their freezing shadow on the German people who already are whining under the repeated anc increasing impact of British bomb ing"
 He asserted that Norway, Den- mark, Holland, Belgium and France were seething with the spirit oi revolt.
 '"The commando raids along the enormous coast, although so fal only a forerunner of what is tc come, will cause the author of SC many crimes the miSeries of life of anxiety.
 Death Over Nazis
 "The German soldiers dwell among populations who would kill them with their hands if they goi the chance and will kill them ont at a time when they do get the chance"
