His dynamic forcefulness and
daring in offensive action, his bril-

unique resourcefulness and ingenuity

coupled with a complete disregard

great credit upon him and the naval

record with the reminder that the
success of our own increased and
increasing anti-submarine opera
tions may be due In part to decreased
enemy submarine activities because
those submarines are urgently
needed elsewhere"
At any rate. the record is there.
Wholesale attacks have been halted
and conveys are getting through
untouched. One vital part of the
Caribbean shipping problem has
been given an answer. There still
remains the problem of getting into
this area enough ships to keep food
and fuel supply lines open. Officials
OF the War Shipping Administration
hope to ease the burden with fleets
OF motor boats large enough to
hedgehog from island to island
with cargoes but fast and shallow
enough at the same time to out
n1aneuver submarines.
Another important plan is in
process Of development by AGWI
lines which proposes to start an
airline subsidiary from Puerto Rico
across to Mexico. In face OF gas
oline rationing and food shortages
every possible cargo carrier will helr
ease the situation.

Curb U-Boat Menace
In Caribbean
Nays Record in July
DiscIoses Increasing
Success of Conveys
BY NAT. A. BARROWS,
Foreign Correspondent Of The Star.
and CHICAGO Daily News.


BALBOA, Canal Zone, Aug. A.
A review of ti-submarine opera
tions in the Caribbean for July gives
increasing hope that finally the
United States Navy has answered
the menace OF U-boats along the
lifeline supporting the lopsided i'm
port economy of these islands and
mainland countries.
The answer is as old as World
War I:
Assemble ships in one group, con-
voy them with warships, and force
enemy submarines to undergo heavy
risks in approaching their targets.
A month or 50 ago the Navy was
able to get the convoy system or.
ganized in the Caribbean on the
basic lines used In the first World
War, plus additional support since
developed-and the results of the
past month are pleasing to every
body but U-boat commanders.
A convoy, Of. course, is not i'm
penetrable If the sub is willing to
take risks. But few shippers care
to gamble alone against such odds
as an armed convoy protected by
fast warships and covered overhead
by bomber planes.
How Squeeze Play Works.
"It's fine squeeze play"
bomber plane pilot told your cor
respondent during an 18-hour fight
over one Caribbean convoy. I'VE
keep 'em down and we keep 'em out
of range And that's how we pay
dividends. The convoy gets through
and the sub is put on the defensive
if he tries to attack U.S."
Your correspondent saw at first
hand how this works out. In the
middle of the night klaxon sounded
the call to battle stations. One of
the escorts had contacted a target
A submarine was harrying the con-
voy, trying to find an opening for
attack.
Before that submarine could get
lined up in range the double line
OF defense was on his tail, forcing
him into quick dive and keeping
him there. He never had a chance
to let go his torpedo.
A month of such protection in the
Caribbean enabled Rear Admiral
Clifford Van Hook, commandart of
the 18th Naval District here, to say
at a press conference, July has
been particularly free from effective
attacks. The increasing strength of
our forces in this area is making
it more difficult for the enemy to
operate against our commerce"
