U-BOAT FAILURE. RUGBY, September 10. A joint statement on U-boat warfare in August, issued by President Roosevelt and Mr. Churchill, says:— “Last month, due to the effectiveness
of Allied operations in France, the. principal U-boat operating bases in the Bay of Biscay were neutralised. “As a consequence, the Germans have been forced to operate their undersea craft from Norwegian and Baltic bases, thereby stretching ever thinner their difficult lines of operations. The exchange rate between merchantmen sunk and U-boats de-
. stroyed continued to be profitable to .• the United Nations’ cause. While the U-boat operations continue, they are : sporadic and relatively ineffectual.”
