British fliers, the air ministry
disclosed, retaliated with night
bombing attacks Friday against
naval and air bases in Germany
and Holland and on nazi aircraft
factories, oil reserves and commu

purely defensive to a strategy

of neutral military observers on
the selection of General Sir Alan
Brooke, tough, seasoned Ulster

Ironside.

and military objectives, including
claims of sinking 5000-ton mer
chantman and damaging thread
others and a destroyer.
With the war apparently turn
ing toward a new, critical phase
and Germany tightening her
"starvation blockade" on Britain,
another winter of hardship in
Europe seemed increasingly like
ly. A wheat forecast in Bucharest
anticipated a Rumanian harvest
of 1,(39.000 metric tons com
pared to a normal yearly average
of about 5,000,000.
The Rumanian situation re
flected poor prospects throughout
southeastern Europe and the
probability of throttled exports,
especially to Germany. Yugoslav

said, will have to import grain for

wheat for her own people.
