The promise was supported, al- most coincidentally. by W. Averill Harriman, President Roosevelt's special representative, who told re- porters he had "already given spe-

for Britain since his arrival last Saturday. The newest British figures on shipping losses continued to under- line the official viewpoint that much help is needed in that direc- tion. The Admiralty announced that British and allied merchant shipping losses for the week ended March 0 were 98.233 tons and that revised figures for the previous week showed losses of 141.314 tons. ‘Ihosc figures were contrnswd with week‘y losses averaging 75.000 inns in February and 53.000 tons in January. “We must be prepared to face losses until the battle cf the At- lantic is won." an authoritative source remarked. “Figures over a large period will determine the issue."
