RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil.—Plans
the sky as it speeds towards its target. This charge was fired from a "Y' gun
for intensifying the war against
enemy submarines in the South At-
lantic were considered here by Uni-
ted States and Brazilian officers and
officials as a result of the conferences
this week between President Roose-
velt and President Getuilo Vargas at
Natal.
Meanwhile Brig. Gen. Robert L.
Walsh, chief of the South Atlantic
section of the Air Transport Com-
mand and General Eurico Gaspar
Dutra, Minister of War, were con-
ferring on matters believed to pre-
sage other important events, espe-
cially in continental defense and pol-
icy.
Attending the conference on sub-
marines were Vice Admiral Jonas In-
gram, commander of the Allied naval
forces in the South Atlantic; Rear
Admiral Augustin T. Beauregard,
head of the United States naval mis-
sion to Brazil; Naval Minister Aris-
tides Guilhem and Admiral America
Viera Aiello, chief of staff of the
Brazilian Navy.
"We arc.now on an offensive bent
on cleaning up the submarine pest
in South American waters," said
Admiral Ingram.
The Brazilian Army, however, was
marking time and growing impatient.
More than one hundred thousand Bra-
zilian troops fully armed with mod-
ern weapons are reported restive for
action overseas. Their desires, it is
believed, may be realized as a re-
sult of the Roosevelt-Vargas meet-
ings.
The Natal conferences- forecast
great acceleration of collaboration
between Brazil and the United States.
The tempo of Brazilian production
of war materials has been increased
considerahly and greater shipments
to the United States are now a mat-
ter of ships. Likewise the United
States is trying to send Brazil all
she needs in war and industrial ma-
terials but here again looms the mat-
ter of transportation. Some 100,000
tons of cargo for Brazil are said to
wait ships on (locks in the United
States.
The delayed report of the sinking by U-boats
of four vessels in a single Allied convoy off South
America earlier this month is a tragic reminder that
enemy submarines are still a serious menace to our
supply lines to Europe and Africa.
Just how much damage they are doing is im-
possible to say because of official reluctance to
admit sinkings when they occur. The British, freer
spoken, are patently alarmed. All we are told is
that we are building ships about as fast as they are
sunk. That is not good enough if it is true, as reported
from London, that Hitler is massing 500 or more
U-boats for a spring offensive. Saturday he tipped
his hand by appointing Karl Doenitz, submarine
expert, to succeed Grand Admiral Eric Raeder
as supreme commander of the Nazi Navy.
Submarines are an effective element in that
seapower which Admiral Mahan held to be decisive
in the fate of nations. While Hitler is building them,
we are wrangling over priorities for steel and thus
delaying the construction of cargo and escort
vessels to meet this menace.
The U-boat threat must be destroyed before
we can sustain an army of necessary proportions
on the other side of the Atlantic.
