Knoz Sdys US Fleet Nov
World's Most Poiverfid
HOLLYWOOD, June 3 0-5VSecretary Knox told a crowd in
Hollywood bow! tonight that America in the short space- of time
since Pearl Harbor had wrought a miracle and now baa the most
powerful fleet in the world, in
g: By the end of 1943, the navy
fleet will have been Increased
60 per cent in . tonnage - and? 100
per cent in number over that of
1942. -. rr
Theweep of Japanese arms,
said; Knox, has been halted, and
thm Nips have been on the de
fensive for months and. are. dig-
, ging in. In J a frantic effort to
preserve - and hold the fruits of
early victories. , : ,
! In this war we have now seiz
ed the initiative, Knox told the
crowd participating In a campaign
to add the cruiser Los Angeles
to the ' fleets "but possession of
the initiative; does not mean that
the war has; been won and -that
victory Is just around the corner.
There is nothing that would war
rant ; any ; s u c h optimism. - The
enemy, r both east and west, is
still in possession of the bulk of
his strength.?
The road I ahead is long and
hard, Knox warned, but he pro
mised that from now on we can
pick the time arid place where
the battle is to be waged, and he
said that in military affairs this
means muc,h.
Knox said that in close co
operation with the British fleet,
American saBormea and Ameri
can fliers- are successfully chal
lenging Hitler's underwater fleet.
fVictory i 'riot yet won, he
said, fbut j iristead of mounting
tins summer,! ship losses have de
creased swiftly. June shows a
score so good that it seems in
credible. Incredible- not only in
the insignificant size of our losses
equally incredible in the mount
ing scale of enemy submariaes
sunk.; And no submarine Is count
ed as sunk. Toy either the British
or ourselves,! if t there lacks ab
solute proof f the km.
. . The secretary said that fignUng
the sub In ; the Atlantic would
continu as long as the war lasts
but that: the situation there war
rants the hope that we have "our
worst enemy now where he Is,
at least, as worried over our next
move as we are ot his."
