NO SUPPLY SHIPS LOST
ALLIES SUPERIOR TO JAPS • IN PACIFIC
Recd. 7.30 p.m. London, Nov. 15. “No Allied supply ships have been lost in the Pacinc during the past six months as a result of enemy action,” said Rear-Admiral W. B. Young, chief of the United States Navy Bureau of Supplies.
Referring to the difficulties of supplying scattered Pacific bases, RearAdmiral Young drew attention to tne lack of harbours and quays for unloading supplies, which at many places had to be transported ashore in small boats. He paid a tribute to New Zealand and Australia for adapting their industries to meet the demands of the United States forces in the area.
