Allied Prospects
Bright Churchill
CONTINUED from Page y

concerned, nothing will turn us
from our endeavor and intention TO
accomplish the complete destruction
Of our foes by bombing from the
air in addition to all other means.
Churchill reported that the
steady wearing-d Of the Ger
man and japanese air forces was
proceeding remorselessly.
THE enemy who thought that
the. air would be their weapon Of
victory are now finding it the first
cause of their ruin" he said.
He asserted that Germany now
has masSed on the Russian front
100 Nazi and % satellite divisions
and it appeared to be there that the
greatest battles" are impending.
Churchill said that the month OF
May was the best from every
point of view" the Allies have had
in the struggle against the U-Boat
since the United States entered the
war.
The combined new building ex-
oeeded the losses by more than three
TO one" he said. This first week OF
June could not possibly be taken as
a criterion, but as a matter of fact,
it is the best ever.
"In May, for the first time, our
killings of U-Boats substantially
outnumbered U-Boat output"
Those guilty of trumpeting the
glories of war at the beginning may
we'll be extolling the virtues Of peace
at the end, and it would not be
right that those who fixed on their
own terms the moment for begin
ming wars should also fix on their
own terms the moment for ending
Them" he said
Italy Warned
This was regarded as warning the
Axis - more particularly Italy -
that there was no chance for a ne
gotiated peace.
Churchill expressed confidence
that the U-boat war will not stand
between the United Nations and
final victory"
All the time, he warned, "the
air war will grow in weight and
severity.
The Germans seem to be stalk
ing their hopes on the U-boat war.
If it should be made clear that this
hope has failed, then they may be
seriously disappointed and they are
a people who when seriously dis
appointed do not always find re-
sources to confront approaching
disaster, once their reason tells
them it is inevitable" he said.
Then he cautioned:
II make that observation in pass
ing. Do not let us build on such
deductions"
The Prime Minister expressed sor-
row that 1t had not yet been pos
sible to bring Premier Josef Stain
of Russia into joint Churchill
Roosevelt conference.
He said that he had not inter
vened in Degaulle Giraud discus
sions in North Africa but had
watched them "vigilantly" in the
light of British American interests
and the well-being of the armies
in North Africa.
"The gravest responsibility lies on
IleSe men, IDegaulle ana Glrauo),
he said. "They have only to act
jointly in good faith and set aside
sectional or personal interests and
keep all their hatreds for the
enemy"
Richer World Organization
There can be no doubt, Churchill
said, that whatever world organiza-
ton energies after the war will be
richer and stronger if It is founded
upon the friendship, fraternal rela-
tons and deep understanding pre-
vailing and now growing between
the British commonwealth and the
United States.
In discussing failure to confer
Jointly with Stain and Mr. Roose-
welt, Churchill said the Allies were
taking some of the weight off Rus
STA, and giving more speedy and eff
fective aid to China, and giving a
strong measure of security to be-
loved Australia and New Zealand
they are never absent from our
thoughts and aims"
