Without her ocean felines open Britain could not have fed her popu- lation nor the requirements of her war factories.

For 68 months the battle raged and swayed from side to alde; at one time things would look black indeed untli a new invention, a new counter- measure, would result in a temporary reaplie. As the power and range of Coastal Command developed, alded by radar, so the U-boat packs were pushed further and further westward,

In the first six months of 1944, the book reveals, the enemy lost 122 U- boate. Yet after Germany's Anal capitulation no less than 160 surren- dered while a further 221 were found to have been scuttled--a, formidable force had the war continued,

Revision Of Tariffs

Sought By China CENTRAL & ALIPORO

London; Nov. 6.-The Chin- esc delegation to the Prepara- tory Committee of the Interna- tional Trade and Employment Conference in London has sub- mitted a memorandum proposing: revision to a number of cinuses in the World Trade Charter draft submitted by the Ameri- can Delegation concerning questions of trade restrictions and tariff adjustments.

The memorandum said that while recognizing the need to avold undue resort. to quantitative restrictions as a means of regulating trade, the Chinese delegation found it dimcult to accept the proposition to effect adjustments as tariff rates alone cannot afford adequate protection for the interests of an economically under-developed country,
