SUBMARINE PROBLEM.
SITUATION HOPEFUL. LONDON, January 11. In connection with last week's return of sinking by submarines, it is pointed out in authoritative circles that it is unfair to take two or three weeks' sinkings as a basis for criticism. Figures which show the number of sinkings by submarines, the number of submarines sunk, and the new output of tonnage are entirely in our favour. It is confidently hoped, with the advance in knowledge in the new offensive and defensive measures now coming into operation, any hope that the enemy entertains of bringing the Allies to their knees by the submarine campaign is doomed to disappointment. The situation is certainly not becoming formidable.— (A. and N.Z.)
