The whole aspect of the vital battle of the Atlantic may change soon as a result of the action of the United States in occupying Iceland and taking all necessary steps to "Insure the safray of communications in the approaches between Iceland and the United States and all other strategic outposts," writes Rear- Admiral Yates Stirling, Ina, in the Manila Bulletin.

Finland, will fall into the hands early yesterday morning,

of the German armies and the navy will lose no time in assault- ing. ing Kronstadt and overpowering the Russian warships, with their inferior weight of metal, that have taken refuge there. In that Case the German navy would cap- ture in the Baltic a formidable addition to its' feet.

VALUABLE REINFORCEMENT This would include two aircraft carriers, accommodating 40 planes each: seven cruisers, four of 8,500 wus, one of 8,300 tons and two of 6,500 tons. Then there would be no less than 25 destroy- ers of which many will be of a size of nearly 3,000 tons. In addi $100 to these there would be at least 10 medium-sized destroyers of about 1,200 tons, 18 torpedo boat mine-layers and most f Russia's 130 motor torpedo boats.

As valuable as these specific re- inforcements would be to Hitler's navy, the capture of the 75 to 100 Į submarines, which Russia is said to have in the Baltic, would be a far greater asset to him. Unless destroyed by their crews before capture, these submarines would form an important addition to the German submarine Holtillas operating in the Atlantic. In the
