"German propaganda, meanwhile, had been active alleging that the would British contraband control have no effect on Germany as she was self-sufficient, and would, on the other hand, completely strangle neu- kral trade.

have played an important part, both; in directing hunting destroyers upon their quarry, and in actually attack- ing it themselves."

Mr. Churchill explained that it was to bridge the gap between what Britain had ready at the beginning of the war and what she had ready now that the Admiralty had decided some to use aircraft-carriers with freedom in order to bring in unarmed, unorganised and unconvoyed trame then approaching, British shores lu large numbers.

Sinking Of Courageous

"The Courageous was attended by four destroyers, but two had to go and hunt a U-boat attacking a mer- chant ship coming towards England. When the Courageous turned into the wind at dusk in order to enable her own aircraft to land upon the fund- ing deck, she happened, by what had been a 100 to one chance or more, to meet a U-boat in her un- predictable course.

"But this hard stroke of war in i no way diminishes our confidence in the methods now at our disposal. On the contrary, our confidence in them has grown with every day they have been employed. I believe their poleney will become more apparent in proportion as great numbers of new vessels, come into action. and our hunting ofleers get the knack of using depth charges by frequent practice.

"Therezore. I cannot feel at the end of the first three weeks of naval warfare that the Judgment formed by the Admiralty before the war about these new methods stands in any need of revision, ex- cept perhaps in favourable sense.

"NO SUCH SUBSTANCE?

ALL RIGHT-WE'LL MAKE ONE!"

Like the jungle explorer, the electrical research worker must constantly deal with the unknown.

Through the long history of electricity, the engineers in West- inghouse Research Laboratories have known the thrills of develop. ing entirely new materials needed for new products. Konal, Kovar, Micarta, Hipersil and Hipernic, for example, are new materials devel- oped by Westinghouse. While these may be strange names to you, without them you would be without many of electricity's ser- vices that you enjoy today.

This is one of the reasons why Westinghouse has remained one of the most important names in electricity. And the Westinghouse record of accomplishment in re- search is matched by its reputation for quality and dependability in the electrical products it builds.

Whatever your electrical need ...be it for your home, for gen. eration and transmission, for in- dustry or elsewhere... you can select the products of Westing- house with assurance of getting the utmost in performance and satisfaction.
