Evidence of Canada's Naval Power.

UITAWA. Sfillt. 30 — (GP) —

Navy Minister Macdmald an- nounced today the Royal Can- adian Navy "this summer" sank

four German submarines, probab- ly sank two more and made many other "pmnising attacks." and gave two new evidences of the growing strength of Canada as a naval power.

One of these evidences was the Minister's statement that with 48.000 officers and men~on strength the Canadian Navy now is nearly half as strong in manpower as the Royal Navy was at the start of the war.

A a Goebbels

The other was his retort to Goeb- bels Nazi prone ands factory claim that nine-ten s of Canada's convoy escort ships are small re- quisitioiied yachts and fishing vessels and that ~16 Canadian Aux-

iliary naval craft hold been sunk .
