STRATEGIC ALLIED SUCCESS
SHIPPING PRODUCTION SINCE OUTBREAK VIEWS OF SWEDISH NAVAL EXPERT London, Jan. 10. “The United Nations will have 40,000,000 tons of shipping by April, which German military opinion considers the most favourable month for the invasion of Europe,” says Commander Eric Oesberg, former head of the Swedish naval college in an article in the newspaper “Stockholm Tidningen.” “Allowing five tons of shipping for every soldier carried it will be possible to throw a great force against the continent. This is the greatest Allied strategic success of the war. Britain from the outbreak to the end of November, 1943, built 3,940,000 tons. America 18,000,000, Canada 1,700,000 and Australia 700,000.” Commander Oesberg rejects as exaggerated a German claim to have sunk a total of 35,000,000 tons.
