A measure of tts fatlure, he added fo the correspondent, was found in| the fact that the elnking of merchant! @hips had been reduced to a level lower than before Germany cast aside ail restraint. “ET am an optimist regarding the U boat war,” said Sir Eric. “The sub- marine, restrained and unrestrained, thas been met and has not proved tn- vinelble, “Tam inclined to think that now— since I made my last public state-| mont, ‘We are sinking submarines as fast as Germany can build them’ my ‘curves’ are all good, and I cannot foresee any way in which the situa- tion can be changed except for the| better. “The sooner the better is now the ‘Allied Navy's alm.
