NAZI SEA MENACE IS Abo In Ruins BROKEN, SAYS FIRST After Worst LORD IN BROADCAST

LONDON, Jan. 21 (Reuter)-Mr. Winston Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty, broadcasting on the "state of war," said: "It seems pretty certain that half the U-boats with which Germany began the war have been sunk and that their new building have fallen far behind what was expected.

So far, the small neutral states are bearing the brunt of German malice. Neutral ships are sunk without law or mercy, not only by the blind wanton mine but by the coldly-considered and deliberately-almed torpedo, and it is only in the British and French convoys that safety is to be found. There it is 500 to one against being sunk," he said.

Mr. Churchill said that at the Admiralty as at the

Speculation Rife Over U.S.-Japan Relations

WASHINGTON, January 21

"More Exorbitant Than Even Infamous Twenty-one Demands"

"More exorbitant than even the infamous Twenty-one De- mands of 1915,” is the description given to an agreement, the text of which is now fully exposed, signed on December 30, 1939, in Shanghai, between the traitor Wang Ching - wei, and a representative of the Japanese Government.

THE REVELATION OF THIS SO-CALLED PEACE PACT BETWEEN WANG AND THE JAPANESE WAS MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH A JOINT LETTER SENT TO THE LOCAL TA KUNG PAO BY KAO TSUNG-WU AND TAO HSI-SHENG, BOTH OF WHOM WERE, UNTIL RECENTLY, CLOSE FOLLOWERS OF PUPPET; WANG.
