Jap. Subs Fade Out
WASHINGTON. August MO Japanese submarines are olTcring virtually no resistance to the vast tonnage of American shipping plying the Pacific, said the Director of tne. Office of Wav Information (Mr. Elmer Davis) on his return from a visit to Pacific outposts. One of the war’s greatest mysteries, he said, is the ineffectiveness of Japanese submarines.
Mr. Davis said that the Pacific war would continually need more shipping. Pearl Harbour, now the fourth United States port in tonnage handled, probably will pass Norfolk and become the third port when the European war ends.
