THE CHINA MAIL, FEBRUARY 26, 1941.
CLAIMS OF GERMAN HIGH COMMAND DISPOSED OF
THE CLAIM OF THE German High Com- mand that a German raider has sunk 14 ships totalling about 82,000 tons in convoy, is dis- posed of by the Admiralty announcement that merchant shipping losses for the week ended Feb. 16 were 12 ships in all, represent- ing a gross tonnage of 37,636 tons.
Eleven were British, of 32,464 tons, and one Allied, of 5,172 tons.
These losses include five vessels -four British and one Allied-to- talling 23,986 tons, known to have been sunk by a raider which at- tacked a convoy off the Azores on Feb. 12.
this of
The German claim for week totalled 185,000 tons merchant shipping sunk, It is stated there was nothing resembling the truth in Hitler's claim to have sunk 215,000 tons of shipping in the last few days.
Usual Practice
Details of the Admiralty com- munique show that 10 of 19 ships in convoy attacked by a Nazi sur- face raider off the Azores on Feb. 12 are known to be safe. Four others are not yet overdue.
"Following its usual practice of making announcements and claims before there has been an oppor- tunity to check the facts," states the Admiralty communique, "the German High Command announ- eed that in this attack the raider had sunk 14 ships totalling about 82.000 tons."
The four ships-three British and one Allied--not yet overdue total 19.698 tons.---Reuter.

WILL BE DECISIVE
September will be the decisive month, said Sir Walter Citrine, British Trade Union leader, broadcasting from Lon- don last night.
Sir Walter, who has just re- turned from an extensive tour of the United States, said that by September British and United States production of a'rerüft would exceed German production.
The American aircraft in. dustry, he added, is expanding at an incredible rate. Last July 78,000 men were em- ployed in American aircraft fac- tories and at the present moment 250,000 were employed.
By next June the number would have expanded to 500,000.
No Hesitation.
The American people, Sir Wal- ter declared, were deeply im- pressed with the justice of the British cause,
There was no hesitation or doubt about whether the British were right in resisting Nazi aggression -Reuter.
Sir Walter said he told
the American people that the British, people were not built in herole mould but were "just common or- dinary people trying to meet great. emergency with the courage "and · fórtitude it demanded.”
A
America, he said, was determin- ed to help with all methods to prosecute the war in wh'ch Bri- tain was involved.-British Wire less..
