AMERICAN AID AT SEA
SIR DUDLEY POUND’S TRIBUTE CONVOYS GIVE ASSISTANCE (Rec. 6.50 p.m.) LONDON, Nov. 13. “I cannot divulge the figures of what the Americans have convoyed across the Atlantic, but it has been of vital assistance to us,” said the First Sea Lord, Admiral of the Fleet Sir Dudley Pound, in a speech to the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve Auxiliary Patrol Club.
“The American Navy is co-operating with us magnificently in numerous ways. I do not know where the hell I would be without the 50 destroyers and
10 cutters they gave us. The Americans have refitted a number of ships for us and their work is first-class, because they are putting their backs into the job.”
