Rio Parley Shapes THE SUBMARINE PERIL Drive on U-Boats Clean-Up the Objective Of the Campaign 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. —lidth».io jrom Detroit Free Press.
