Soviet Submarine Threat

While on the surface the Kremlin
presses its peace goodwill offensive,
beneath the surface of the sea It harbors
what Is now unquestionably the most for
midable submarine force the world has
ever known. A spokesman for the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization said re-
Gently that the Soviet undersea fleet
today Is larger than that Of any other
nation--in fact, larger than all the com
bined submarine forces Of the Western
allies. The latest edition Of James Fight
ing Ships, authoritative British seapower
manual, confirms that estimate Of RUS
sian submarine strength. It places the
present number Of Soviet undersea boats
at at least 400
Furthermore, according to James, the
construction program is still going on,
mostly at Cork, in Central Russia. The
submarines are built in sections and sent
to various ports for assembly and launch
ing. They are chiefly of two types, the
manual says There are fast transoceanic
boats of 5000 tons, capable of speeds up
to 20 knots and with ranges Of about
10000 miles The other group comprises
l,6O0-ton boats capable Of II knots and
ranges Of up to $4,000 miles. Most Of
these craft are snorkel-equipped and thus
able to cruise for long periods without
surfacirg.
When 1t Is considered that Germany,
with far fewer U-boats, came perilOusly
close to winning the "war Of the Atlantic
early In World War II, the potency Of the
Russian submarine threat Is apparent
Even without nuclear-powered subma-
rines (Jane's does not believe Russia has

fieet could deliver grave blows to Western
shipping and possibly to ports and coastal
bases. The concern with which NATO
authorities and our own naval and mili-
tary experts view the steady growth Of
the Russian submarine feet Is UNDER

these ofiicials attach to antisubmariile
defense and offense Is well founded,
judged BY the information which James

IS p reflection Of that spirit. II the

final success General Chairman e. K.

that report meetings on Mondays,

exceeding Its allotment and setting new

example of what can be done when there
Is good organization and leadership.
We know the same spirit exists in

He is confident. however, that
the Republicans can get their
story across.
This constant hamInering

peace and prosperity Is begin
ming to have its effect on the
Democrats as well as on the
Republicans. While the DEM

victory in next years elec-

There is more talk among
them about the necessity Of
picking the strongest possible
candidate for President when
a few weeks ago they were
sure they could win with any
body they nominated.
Grasping at Unrest
Also, the Democrats are
grasping frantically at the un-
rest among the farmers be-
cause of the drop in farm
prices as their main issue in
the 1856 campaign. They have
hopes Of farming the farmers
politically. They are un-
able to continue with their
former predictions Of economic
disasters if the Republicans
were returned to power, be-
cause business is tremendous
and the workers are not only
well paid. but have more jobs
than ever before in this
country.

sic crops. Also, the admins

with additional programs to

farm issue should be dissi-

themselves in a bad way.
