MOVING U.S. TRIBUTE
BRITISH NAVAL LOSSES Rugby, Mar. $. The “New York Times” pays a moving editorial tribute to the Royal Navy. It says that while British capital ships have been replaced, cruisers nearly so and destroyers and submarines more than replaced, there has been no replacement for the men who died. “They are the sacrifice offered by Britain to keep the enemy from her own shores and from ours, to maintain seaborne commerce and to save the oceans for human liberty. The ships and crews of the United States are now partners in this world-wide enterprise. Our warships go further with greater hope of victory than they could have done if the British Fleet had not held the sea lanes bravely for two tragic years alone.”—B.O.W.
