Campaign Ineffective

To illustrate the ineffectiveness of

the German campaign to starve out the British Isler, Mr. Churchill said that during the first two months of the war more than 10,000,000 tons of cargo were landed against a loss due to enemy action of less. than 250.000 tolls. , was the first casualty of the war among Britain's llect of about 70 submarines. In other cate- gories Britain has lost the battle- ship Royal Oak -one of the 15 battle-shins she had in service —-and the aircraft carrier Courageous, one 0L seven in service. These vessels, both comparatively old. will soon be replaced under the huge naval building program Britain started "early three ybars ago.

Royal Oak Investigation

Announcing the result of the in- vestlgatlon into the sinking of the Royrl Oak hv a German U-boat, Mr. Churchill told the house it had been determined that "neither phy- sical obstructionr.

Observers said they felt the offer would increase the difficulty of any immediate violation of Belgian or Netherland neutrality that might have been intended by the warring powers.

Home military precautions, how- ever, have been taken in the lust 24 hours. the spokesman said, includ- ing routine sallng of several thous- and men to the colors.

The Defence Ministry announced all buses had been rcqulsitioned to release private business truclsmk- en over by the army when the war started. German troop concentra- l-tons near the Netherlands irontier were noted.

The newspaper Le Soir said the situation was still serious but not desperate.

"We are at the turning point which 1m? be decisive for our mmediate destiny." it said. “Let us remain calm and resolute."
