Nazi 0ppressors Face
Destruction, BerIe Says
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. May 11-A. A.
Berle, jr., Assistant Secretary of
State, told patriots of the Neither
lands, Belgium and Luxembourg
yesterday that their German op-
pressors were merely awaiting their
own destruction
The Atlantic Charter made 1t
plain that none desires to enslave,
annihilate or destroy the German
people" he said in a broadcast pre-
pared for shortwave to the Low
Countries. yet clearly, it will be
impossible to protect Germans who
are in countries which they have
savagely and brutally oppressed.
The Germans VINO now sit in
Holland, in Belgium and in Luxem-
bourg are merely awaiting their own
destruction. Safety for them must
lie in flight back to their own coun-
try. In the coming day of victory
it may not be easy for them to go
back"
Mr.. Berle demanded that the in
dividual Nazi Gestapo agents. black
troopers and "others guilty of
cruelty, robbery and oppression of
civilians" be held to account.

"firmness " of the contact picked UP
through American-made inventions,
and the power behind a Yankee
depth charge.
1t was then I learned that Amer
lea makes the most powerful depth
charge in the world.
Twenty minutes after our attack
a ship reported sighting a periscope
but we were unable to find it.
Maybe this one ran.
Reports told us of U-boatS being
all around us and directly ahead of
us but we sailed onward.
One of the things that draws nv
admiration for these men is their
calmneSs in steaming ahead in the
face of known danger.
We had a rendezvous with a
friendly submarine far out to sea
today. Clever stuff this D.. meeting
a friendly sub while ducking a lot
of enemy U-boats.
Later: I have just seen another
convoy through.
We have brought them through
the jaws of U-boats lusting for the
blood of American youth rushing
of to battle. Millions of dollars
worth of American equipment fresh
from teeming factories has escaped
unscathed.
This is my third recent convoy
trip through dangerous waters.

How Plane and Shin
Blasted Axis Sub
Third Recent u. S. Convoy
Runs U-Boot Blockade
Without Losses
BY JOHN A. MOROSO. 3rd.,

Associa ted Press War Correspondent
WITH THE ATLANTIC FLEET.
May l (Delayed).-I have just had
the pleasure Of watching an Ameri-
can destroyer team up with plane
to pour tons of powerful depth
charges on an Axis submarine which
managed to get in the way of our
huge conveys of soldiers and sup
plies.
The roar of explosives is still
ringing in my ears.
The quicknesS of our attack was
breath taking
decadent democrats never gave the
enemy a chance to attack.
Our great, gray ships were plough
ing along on blue, sun-lit ocean
when a destroyer off the starboard
bow reported contact
In less than three minutes, five
terrific explosions blasted the calm.
PlumeS of water shot high as the
can" heeled over. Our ship shiv-
cred from the detonations as we
wheeled away into a sharp turn.
Plane Drops ash Can"
Beautifully behind us came the
conveyed ships, turning in perfect
formation-every one of them in
line.
A speedy plane circled the danger
area, dipped low and dropped an
lash can" Another tremendous
flash of water cascaded skyward
Planes from other ships cata-
pulled into the blue and dove over
the bubbling water like hawks on
the kill.
We didn't verify the suspected
passing of some more strangers into
hell. Our job was to take some
Yankee boys to battle.
We do know that no Axis sea wolf
likely could have had an easy time
surviving that attack and such
knowledge was a pleasure.
Through my glasses I looked at
the troopships. Soldiers taking
calesthenic drills before the excite
ment were still exercising. They
had never stopped.
High above me Irving I. Smith,
Boston newsreel ace, was hanging
by his ear grinding away.
On the navigation bridge Of our
ship men were calmly drinking
coffee.
The admiral aboard conferred
with the skipper, discussing the
maneuvering of the ships. the

-Four: Economizing. They're all
doing it, and they like to discuss
It. This topic always ends by one OF
the women saying well, I guess
we'll really see some doing without
before this war is over.
Five: Their war work. A lot OF
this talk is about how negligent,
slipshod, or what will you, a lot
of the women In the same organ

Six: When the war will be over.
They all quote their husbands on
this.
