' . o . a
sa. Churchill's wistfully expressed
desire for greater .help by the
American navy In the Atlantic
may prove significant.
xie was very careiui, uvwcva,
not to forecast In any way what
Mr. Roosevelt might gay. He mere
ly held out a hope to Britons of
active Anglo-American air and
naval collaboration if Hitler's acts
should turn the whole Atlantic
into a war zone.
Aside from references to In
creasing German-American ten
sion, however, the Churchill war
resume drew a sharply contrast
ing picture of the war scene
since the launching last Septem
ber of the nas air Blits against
England. It- rave British and
American readers word of the
situation on three far-separated
fronts.
Details of the changed status of
the most critical struggle, the bat
tie of the Atlantic, still are lack
ing, yet Churchill lifted toe cen
sorship curtain far enough to re
veal that July and August, were
banner months for Britain at sea.
He placed losses of Britain and
British-used shipping in those
months of maximum possible nazi
U-boat and air activities at sub
stantially one-third of the similar
sea losses inflicted on the axis al
lies.
Churchill coupled with that a
warning against "any talk that
the battle of the Atlantic has
been won." Unquestionably, how
ever, the trend of the war at sea
has shifted heavily in British
favor since the German attack
on Russia began.
And of that Russian-German
struggle, unequal ed In history In
size and bloodshed, the British
war captain said that the "mag
nificent resistance" of . the Rus
sians already had doomed Hitler
to maintain his armies in Russia
all winter "from the Arctic to the
Black Bea." There is virtual ad
mission of that even in Berlin war
news and it is probably the ele

WASHINGTON, Sept
The SS Sessa, an American-owned
freighter flying the Flag of Pan
ama, was sunk by a torpedo on
August 17 about 300 miles south
west of Iceland, the state depart
ment announced Tuesday, and all
but three of her crew of 27 were
presumed lost
The crew included one Ameri
can. '
The announcement followed by
one day receipts of word in Wash'
ington that another : American
freighter the SS Steel Seafarer
had been sent to the bottom of
the Red sea by an airplane of un
known nationality on Sept 5. All
were saved.
The state department an
nouncement did not say what
ship had fired the torpedo Into
the Sessa, but Secretary Hull
Told his press conference that
there was no doubt of Its 'na
tionality. The Sessa was sunk,
presumably, In the general area
of the Skirmish last Thursday
between a German submarine
and the American destroyer
Greer.
The Sessa was a. former Dan
ish ship taken over by the United
States under recent legislation
authorizing requisitioning of idle
foreign vessels. It was chartered
by the maritime . commission
the Marine Operating company of
New York, and later was trans
f erred to Panamanian registry.
Transfer to foreign registry Is a
procedure frequently adopted to
permit vessels to enter combat
zones barred under the neutrality
act to vessels manned by Ameri
can crews. The water around Ice
land is not recognized as a combat
area by the United States govern
ment, therefore, officials said, it
was legal for the crew to include
an American.
Three members of the Sessa's
crew were picked up Sept. f , at
a point some 309 miles south
west of Iceland, the state de
partment said. ..The ship was
said to be carrying- to Iceland
supplies of a general character
destined for and owned by the
Icelandic government

Speaking of motor vehicle
movements, General Joyce said
"some units-failed to comply with
orders, creating an inexcusable
road jam. Too much stress: can
not be placed on the necessity of
keeping adequate distance be
tween vehicles when there is dan
ger of air!attack.M '
The commanding general, also
criticized the practice of Includ
ing slow-moving engineer vehic
les, such as cement mixere, In a
column of combat attack "trucks.
thereby hampering all traffic.
Of the use of air observation,
General Joyce said "the results
of aerial missions were vry dis
appointing. Not one hostile ar
tillery battery was reported."
" Other observations in the gen
eral's critique included: '
The organic antitank warning
system used was not satisfactory.
Necessary communication equip
ment was lacking. All provisional
units showed lack of training.
Although signal communication
was Improved,: wire communica

The Sessa was acquired by the
United States some time ago from

2. The Germans did not dis
avow an axis attack on the
Seafarer, plainly Implying to
the contrary that the Job was
done either by an Italian or
German 'plane .although saying
through a ' Berlin spokesman
that "it Is beyond discussion
that there should be any gen
eral order to attack American
ships. , r -"
Nevertheless, he added, the Red
sea had . long been; considered a
war zone by the axis and there
should be no surprise that the
Seafarer had been sunk there. In
sum, Berlin warned again -that
all ships in zones deemed by the
axis to be zones of war were sub
ject to assault "regardless of na
tionality." 1
X. Winston Churchill, address
ing the house of commons for
the first time since his Atlantic
meeting with President Roose
velt, expressed a wish for even
"greater help" from the Ameri

Atlantic approaches to the wes

same time declared without so

Picturing Britain's position In
the battle of the Atlantic as enor

example, that British and allied
shipping losses for July and Aug'
ust were hardly more than one
third those of the axis despite the
vast preponderance of British
vessels Churchill suggested
nevertheless that Hitler might at
any time engage American sea
power in a desperate effort to
halt the flow of aid to England
and Russia.
4. US Secretary of State Hull
declared that; there was no
doubt of the nationality of the
ship that fired on the Sessa, al
though he did not mention 'that
nationality, and there was in
Washington clear evidence of
growing strain m American
axis relations.' 8ome there ob
served that President Roosevelt
was getting new material for

and predicted that he would
declare the determination of the
