Third of japanese Shipping
Sent to Bottom, Knox Says
Submarines Accounted for II Per Cent
Of Z, SOC, 900 Tons Sunk, He Reveals

More than 2,500,O00 tons of
japanese shipping approx
mately one-third of her mer-
chant marine-have been sunk
by Allied forces since the attack
on Pearl Harbor, Secretary of the
Navy Knox declared today.
This severe blow to the enemy's
war effort was accomplished chiefly
by American submarines. Mr.. Knox
told his press conference, but added
that all United Nations sea and air
forces have participated in the
sinkings
Mr.. Knox said the one third in
cluded prewar tonnage as we'll as
confiscated ships and vessels con-
structed since December 7, 194l.
Mr.. Knox agreed with a questioner
that the japanese loss of cargo ton
mage was impairing the enemys
ability to exploit prof1tably the cap
tured rich territories, in the South
west Pacific.
Whether this tonnage loss was
responsible for the withdrawal from
Kiska Island in the North Pacific.
and from islands in the Central
Solomons in the Southwest Pacific.
Mr.. Knox said he did not know.
But he added that those Withdrawals
certainly had been brought about
by overseas communication diff
culties.
In making the estimate of actual
tonnage sent to the bottom of the
China Sea and Western Pacific by
United Nations forces, Mr.. Knox
used figures which he said he could
not officially confirm. But he said
they had been widely published and
frequently referred to. On this
basis, he said Japan's estimated
cargo tonnage at the start of the
war in December, l941, was 6,368 891
tons.
In addition the Japs have built or
acquired in the interim an esti-
mated 1,25o,000 tons, to give an
overall total of tonnage available or
built of 7,618,891.
Destruction of one third OF this
total would put the enemy's tonnage
loss at 1888, $50, an estimate based
on the published information rather
than on official Navy figures. though
Mr.. Knox used these totals quite
freely and apparently with consid-
erable confidence in their general
accuracy.
MIR. Knox said that of the total of
enemy shipping destroyed, n Der
cent had been sunk by submarines.
mostly American, while the re-
naming % per cent was sent to
the bottom by combination of "all
other forces"
The obvious effect of this" Mr..
Knox said, lis to make communica-
tlons more difficult for the enemy.

Stain Tells of Sunny Capture.
Capture of the Ukraine stronghold
of Sunny. 80 miles northwest of

command was announced by
Marshal Stain in an order of the
day yesterday, while a communioue
told of the storming of Krolevets
and Yampol on the important
Bryansk-Kiev railway linking the
southern and central fronts.
The Donets Basin drive yielded
the cities of Voroshilovsk, Slavyano-
serbsk and Lisichansk, while Bude-
novka, 20 miles from Mariupol, fell
to the Red Army troops in their
push along the rim of the Sea of
Azov. the communique said.
The Russian bulletin, which was
recorded by the Soviet monitor here,
emphasized that the Germans were
battling stubbornly all along the
60o-mile front in their effort to get
the bulk of their armies safely
across the Dnieper.
10000 Germans Killed.

marine service. This service has
been doing an outstanding and a
perfectly splendid job in the Pa
cific."
The enemy's ship losses, he said,
presumably are increasing steadily
because the American submarine
feet is being constantly increased
in size"
Navy figures on enemy ships sunk
by submarines include not only those
definitely destroyed, but also vessels
probably sunk or damaged Mr..
Knox's figures did not include ships
in that category. Also, he did not
give any figures on Japan's losses
in warship tonnage.
Asked whether the sinkings make
1t impossible for the Japanese to
exploit profitably their conquered
territories to the SOUTH Mr.. Knox
replied in the Affirmative.
Obviously" he added, "the loss of
cargo ships must be embarrassing
for them. 1t is striking one of their
vital activities. All their war gained
territories have to be reached by
overseas means. And the steady de-
struction of that means of COM
munications is bound to impair the
use they can make of their war loot"
Asked if he had any word concern

There was no further report on
