Secretary of the Navy Frank
Knox gave England a better than
even chance to defeat Germany
feels indeed, he says, "quite
cheerful about It."
The secretary, who arrived
here by navy plane yesterday
from Honolulu where he Inspect
ed naval facilities and spent five
days at sea wi.h the fleet, told
newsmen he believed the chance
for a successful invasion of Brit
ain was growing weaker every
day.
"To Invade Great Britain," he
said, "Germany must destroy
Britsh air power, and it has by
no means done that. Germany's
3 to 1 air advantage has dwin
died because, as the offensive
nation, it has lost more planes.
German Losses Total.
"Germany's losses usually are
total plane and pilots. Many
English pilots, when their ship
Is disabled, can land on English
soil and return to fight again.
"I believe England now has
better than a '50-50' chance to
win out, and I feel quite cheer
ful about It."
Col. Knox said about 100 units
of the fleet will return to the
Pacific coast from Hawaii, cross
ing in three contingents.
The secretary said the recent
fleet maneuvers off Hawaii
demonstrated that the fleet "is
the best fleet In the world." He
described the vessels as in ex
cellent condition' 'and the navy's
air arm as "very capable."
