THE U-BOAT CAMPAIGN
POSITION STILL GRAVE RUGBY, Apl. 4. “The U-boat battle to-day is a fight of grave intensity in which we cannot afford to overlook any means of defeating the enemy," said Sir Stafford Cripps, Minister of Aircraft Production, speaking at Hull to-day. He added: “It will have its worst and its better periods. It will go on for many months—it may be years—but in the long run we shall slowly and certainly gain the ascendancy and win. “The battle is no local matter. It stretches over the whole wide oceans. It is being fought in the shipyards and factories as well as on the high seas. We are all in it, and we must none of us spare any effort that may help victory against the U-boat and the E-boat. All our technical and inventive skill is being thrown into the battle.”
