Hitler‘: Blunders Hitler has violated the loll of peoples dwelling in extensive countries, capable of maintaining with British and French ald ro- loriged resistance to his sol iers and his Gestapo. I-Ie has almost doubled the effi- ciency of the Allied blockade. He has made a whole series of commitments for which he will now have to fight, if necessary. during the whole summer, against powers possessing vastly superior naval forces and able to transport their forces more easily than be can. 1 cannot see my counter-advan- tage he has gained except tho- satisfactlon of another exercise 0f his brutal lust of unbridled power. Grieved as we are at tne misery now extended to wider areas we are greatly advantaged by what has occurred provided we can, with unceasing and increasing vigor, turn to the utmost the strategic blunder into which our mortal enemy has been provoked. Everyone must. recognize the reckless handling which has flung a whole German fleet out upon the savage seas of war as if it were a mere counter to cast away for s, particular operation. We and the French are far stronger than the German navy. We have enough forces to maintain control of the Mediterranean at the same time as we carry on our operations in the North Sea. But In the very much smaller forces of the German navy most grievous losses have been already sustain- ed. Norwegian batteries have tak- en their toll. Four German cruis- ers-nearly half the total strength —ha.ve been sunk and a number of German destroyers with sev- eral morc U-boatg have been de- ‘stroyed, all since Sunday. German Navy Mutilated The German navy must be ro- gardcd a5 deeply mutilated in re- spect to this extremely important, indispensable cruiser strength. Our submarines, no means asleep, have taken a heavy toll oif German transport and store ships crossln toward Scandinavia. We have gven them fullest. liberty of action where humanity does not impose restraint. All the German ships in the Skagerrak and the Kattegat will- be sunk and by night all ships will be sunk as opportunity serves. We are not going to allow the enemy to supply their armies across these waters with impunity. The Germans have already ord- ered all merchant ships from this area. In this respect our advice coincides with theirs. we hope to take an increasing toll. Up to the present nearly a dozen ships, some of large ton- naze, have been sunk or captured either in the Kattegat or in other parts of the North Sea or in at- tempting to bring supplies to the force landed at Nai-vik. Nazis Silent - 0n Activities BERLIN, April 11 —(CP) -Ger- man officials maintained a 118N- llpped silence about the air and sea war in Scandinavia. tonight, claim- lng that "to divulge all etails now would of_ course be RWIIIRI valuable information to the enemy.’ Instead, the new; agency DNB and the German rcss devoted space to explaining the German public that the “protective arm" which the Reich thrust into Scan; dinavia, came "in the nick of time to forestall what they called a British plan to attack the Reich Claims made by the DNB in con- izwticn with the air-sea wair were that Gennan bombers dam d a British a lane carrier in the oirth Sea. and at two destroyers ware_ sunk yesterday at Narvik, northern Norway.
