U-Boats Driven Farther West
GOOD SIGN IN ATLANTIC (Rec. 24, 2.45) RUGBY, May 23. Naval circles in London point to two facts as evidence that Germany is far from gaining victory in the Battle of the Atlantic, which is now increasing in intensity. The first is improved British escort strength for convoys; the second is the progressive driving of the attacking U-boats farther westward into the Atlantic. There is definite evidence of a reduction in the attack in the areas covered by British reconnaissance aircraft. One comment made—which in fact is justified by recent experience—is that the match is now being played on the Americans’ home pitch.
