COMING OFFENSIVE
DWARF ALL EARLIER ONES Londnn, March 8. The United States Secretary of the Navy, Colonel Knox, stated in Washington to-day that the Alies were on the threshold of a critical offensive which would dwarf all previous thrusts. He was addressing the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives, and he urged the continuance of lease-lend. It was team work, he said, that enabled the forces of the United Nations to carry forward to success the greatest amphibious operation so far conducted in any war.
“I can promise, without revealing any military secrets,” he said, “that these combined operations will seem small when the offensive now being planned takes place.”
