I daresav you will have noticed a. very significant air action which was fought over Malta a fortnight ago. '1 lie Germans sent an ent ech- wader of dive bombers 0o Sicily. Tnev seriously injured our new alr- craft carrier Illustrious. and then as this wounded shin was sheltering in Malta harbor they concentrated upon her all their force so as to beat her to nieces. But. they were met by the batter- ies of Malta, which is one of th strongest-defended fortresses in the world against air attack. They iveie met bv the Fleet Air Ann and by the Royal Air Force. and in two or three days they had 10st, out of 150 dive bombers, upwards of 90 - 50 of which were destroyed in the air and 40 on the ground. Although the Illustrious in hei- damaged cori- dition was oiie of the great Drlzes of the air and naval war. the Ger- man Geschwader accepted the de- feat. They would not come any IIIOIE- All the necessary repairs‘ were made to the Illustrious in Malta harbor. and she steamed safely off to Alexandria under her own power at: 23 knots. I dwell uoon this iri- cident not at all because I think it: disposes of the danger in the cen- tral Mediterranean. but in order to we intend to give a good account o is aoing to be settled bv what hab- Drophe5y"f)6Il5 on the oceans. in the air and. above all. in this island. It seems now to be certain that: the government and people of the United States intend to supply ‘l8 ‘with all that is necessary for vic-t tory. In the last war the United States sent 2.000.000 men across the | Atlantic. but this is not a war of vast armies. hurling immense mass- es of shells at one another. We do lnot need the gadant armies which ;are forming throughout the Ameri- can union. We do not need them this year. nor next year. nor any tear that I can foresee. Need Much Shipping But. we do need most urgently an l flmmcnse and continuous sutiulv of i tival‘ materials. and we need them f ‘here and we need. to brim! theml here. We shall need a 2108b mflsSi of shipping iii 1942, far more than; we can build ourselves if we are to l, maintain and augment our war cf- ilcrt ill the west aiid in the east. These facts are. of course. all well known to the enemy. and we. must therefore expect that Heir | Hitler will do his utmost to prey; upon our shipping and reduce the: volume of American supplies enter- t int: these islands. Having conuucr- ‘ cd FTaiicc and Norway. his clutch-t in: fingers rcavli out on both sldcs‘ of us into t.lie ocean.

You will have seenthat Elr .Joliii Dill, out‘ DflllCllidl militarv ad- ‘viser, the Chief of the Imperial; General Staff. has warned us alll yesterday that Hitler may be forced bv the strategic economic and ooli- tical stresses in Europe to try to in- vade these islands iii the near fu- ture.
