ED MR. L. S. AMERY, SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA, SPEAKING AT COVENTRY LAST EVENING AND REFERRING TO THE BATTLE OF THE ATLANTIC.

After recalling how the first air Battle of Britain last autumn "put an end to all Hitler's dreams of walking into and over our unarm- ed England," Mr. Amery said: "A second air and submarine battle, covering both Britain and its Atlantic approaches, is in progress. It calls for all our energy and skill to meet it.
