SAGUENAY FINDS WAY T0 BRITISH PORT UNASSISTED (Continued from Page 1) 21 members of the Royal Canadian Navy and injury to 18 others. Announcement of the torpedoing last night by Naval Service Head- quarters was the first official word of damage to a Canadian warship in action against the enemy, but Can- ada has lost two destroyers in col- lisions since the war began. The terse naval statement gave no details of the destroyer-submarine engagement, It said merely: "Naval service headquarters ane nounces that H.M.C.S. Saguenay was struck by a torpedo whilst en- gaging a submarine in the Eastern Atlantic. The ship has safely reach- ed port where she will be taken in hand for the necessary repairs. "Twenty-one ratings are reported missing. Eighteen ratings are wounded and are now in hospital. Their next of kin have been inform- ed." The rest of the brief statement was taken up with a description of the Saguenay and her history. There was no indication whether the sub- marine was destroyed, or whether other allied vessels were involved in the action. Officers Escape The Saguenay is one of the small fleet of fast, hard-hitting ships Canada sent overseas to help the Royal Navy keep the sea lanes around Britain clear of prowling enemy submarines and surface rald- ers. Casualties aboard the Saguenay all were naval ratings. Apparently her commanding officer, Cmdr. George R. Miles, of Halifax, and his commissioned officers, escaped with= out injury. Every province but Manitoba suf- fered loss of at least one man in the torpedoing. Next of kin of six of the dead live in Quebec, five in Ontario, of two in Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia, and of one in British Columbia, New Bruns- wick, Saskatchewan and Alberta. One man came from Newfoundland. and no address was listed for the other, The injured were from six pro- vinces, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Que- bec, British Columbia, Saskatche- wan and New Brunswick.

The correspondent suggested that "that fight has now begun." Assault at Dawn The main British assault, which hegan at dawn yesterday, and con- tinued through the day and: into the night, apparently was launched against the Italian right flank in the Sidi Barrani zone at a point { about 30 miles from the Mediter- ranean seacoast. Approximately 500 Italians were captured there, advices from the front said, and an equal number was seized when British forces fell upon an Italian camp at Mabeya, a few miles from the coast. The Italian commander in this zone was reported killed and his second in command captured. The Royal Air Force and Roya! Naval units off the Egyptian coast were reported to have taken part in the onerations. No indication of the number of 'troops involved in yesterday's fight. ine was given. Tt has been estimated, however, the Italians have six divisions--172,- 000 to 90,000 men--available for fighting on the Northern Egyptian front.

"Our units are fully outfitted and could move into battle today," the officer said. "The recent rate of acceleration at which guns, am- munition, Bren carriers and the 'heavier stuff' has been reaching us is completely satisfactory." 'These comforting words were sig- nificant because in the grand plan for the defence of the British Isles and other war-threatened parts of the commonwealth there are other places whose needs naturally would take precedence over those of northern Ireland. They were doubly significant in that they indicated British industry is producing the required flow of vital equipment in face of bombing that is so regular it is becoming commonplace, The withdrawals from Dunkerque and elsewhere in France left the Empire's army facing an equipment problem that was acute. The best of the guns, tanks and transport went to France with the BEF. Most of the equipment was destroy- ed when the out-numbered troops were withdrawn, If Hitler had thrust at Britain then, ill-equipped as she was, thé war might now have been over and the heavy ycke of Nazidom already weighted on the British Common- wealth of Nations. But Hitler waited. Britain and her industries responded to the Churchill govern- ments "go to it" plea. And now the army has been re-equipped with all the multiple instruments of modern warfare, In the breathing spell, many types cf arms, tanks and other equip- ment ' have been improved over those abandoned in the dark days that followed the surrender of Bel- gium and the sudden collapse of France. It is fitting that among the B,T.I, (British Troops in Ireland) are thousands cf Ulstermen ready to guard their homes. There is, for instance, the Royal Ulster Rifles, & unit with a long and glorious bat- tle history.

She was travelling through the stormy gulf of St. Lawrence from Clark City, Que, to Sydney, N.S. Has 11 Destroyers Now With the Saguenay temporarily out of action, Canada's effective de- stroyer fleet now stands at 11, as- suming that the six destroyers re- cently obtained from the United States are in service. Canada started the war with a fleet of seven destroyers. Loss of the Fraser was repaired by acquisition of the Margaree but so far the Mar- garee's place has not been taken. When the United States traded 50 destroyers to Britain for defence bases sites in the western hemis- phere, six of the 50 were allotted to Canada, but it has not been stated officially whether they have been placed in service, The Saguenay was built in a Brit- ish shipyard, especially for the Can- adian Navy. Unlike some other ves- sels of the Canadian fleet, she was not purchased. from the British Aa- miralty after seeing service in the Royal Navy, The ship was built 10 years ago and salled for this country in June, 1931. Oh arrival she was based on the east coast and in May, 1939, was one of the destroyers which steamed out to welcome the King and Queen to Canadian waters and escort them to Quebec City where they started their historic tour of the Dominion. With' a displacement tonnage of 1,330, speed of 35 knots, overall length of 321 feet and beam of 32 feet. The Saguenay is typical of the allied destroyer fleet which are the terror of enemy submarines. She is armed with eight torpedo tubes, four Lewis guns, two two-pounder guns and four 4.7-inch guns, Mother's Premonition Toronto, Dec. 10 (CP)--A Toronto mother, Mrs. Carlton Cook, said last night she "had a premonition that something terrible had happened" to her son, O.8. Albert C. Cook, who was listed as missing from the de- stroyer Saguenay and is believed dead. 0.8. Cook was one of three Toron- to seamen listed as missing, believ- ed dead, Others were: 0.8. Sam Tweedle, 24, son of Mr. and Mrs. David Tweedie; and 0.8. David A. Morrison, son of Mrs, A. Morrison. Temporary L.S. Harold J.

In the southern sector Greeks, chorusing "On to Valona," are re- ported converging on that port along the coastal road from Porto Edda, by way of Chimara, and along an inland road north from Argiro castro, by way of Tepelini. The Greeks apparently have not yet taken Chimara and Tepelini, In the Northern sector drives to- ward Elbasani are aimed along a mountain road north and west from Pogradetz and up the Devol River valley northwest of Moskopolis.

Representative Hobbs indicated that any drastic measures proposed | to combat defence stoppages would apply equally to industry and labor. | "To declare cessation of work by either company or labor as an act | of treason would be perfectly legal end justifiable," he declared. "I can't set the difference between | that and anything that we have | learned to call treason. FLAMES INNAZI HELD PORTS SEEN FROM KENT COAST (Continued from Page 1) falled to attempt any follow-up of the 12-hour pounding given London | Sunday night. Many persons went to shelters-- just in case. Others stayed up late waiting, before deciding to chance a night of rest at their homes. The weather was not unfavorable | to raiding, although the bright | moonlight of the early night gave | way later to clouds and light mist. The Press Association speculated that the lull might have been caused by the Royal Air Force's blows at Germany and German air bases, or by a German strategy of massing its air force for a heavy blow later, but added: -- "The now constant guessing as to why the Luftwaffe falls to raid night after night still is without an authentic answer." A government communique de- clared: "An enemy bomber was shot down into the north sea yesterday afternoon by our fighters. Apart from a reconnaissance flight near the South coast (of England), there was no activity during the night." Two planes were sald to have flown some distance inland this morning through several bursts of anti-aircraft fire, but there were no | ert of any bombs being drop- ped. Morning newspapers warned their readers today to beware of a new- type German air weapon--a para- chute bomb, The parachute bomb, the papers explained, is a "dark gray-green metal object about the size of your fas mask container--merely hand- ling it may cause it to explode." Such bombs do not always ex- plode when they strike the ground, the article continued, but when they do explode they have such a high degree of fragmeéntation that they can cause casualties as far as 50 feet away. The bomb itself was described as 8 sheet metal cylinder with a wire about five inches long attached. The cylinder is built to maks it spring epen as the bomb falls.

HITLER SAYS HE IS DEFENDER OF LABOR, HAVE NOTS (Continued from Page 1) declared today, in a broadcast ad- dress heard here by the National Broadcasting Company and Colum- bia Broadcasting System, that the war is "a struggle between the aris- tocracy of wealth on the one hand," as represented by the democracies, and "the aristocracy of labor on the other," as represented by Ger- many. "In the final analysis there is no question as to the justice of these respective objectives," Hitler de- clared in an address to the workers of the Reich. "We are in the midst of a strug- gle which means more than the victory of one country over an- other," he said. "When I say that we shall win this struggle," he added to a chorus of cheers, "it Is because we have realized for one thing that a united effort and united discipline were necessary if we were to prevail" Because Germany has rationed her resources, Hitler said, "we now are in a position to carry on this struggle with more than sufficient supplies, while in England food ra- tions have had to be reduced con- eistently and increasingly." "Eighty-five million Germans," Hitler declared, "are facing a na- | tion of Englishmen who control & stretch of territory vastly superior in surface than that required by them. "During the past this unequa! distribution of territory had to be accepted simnly because Germany was not united and was unable ta object. Hitler then told his audience that the cleavage between 'too great riches on one side and too great poverty on the other must be abridged," and yelled: "Those who have not will one day go and take what should be theirs." "Let me ask you upon what the' distribution of the world's territory is based?" Hitler continued, ac- cording to the National Broadcast ing Company version of his speech. "1% is based upon the require- ments of the people who inhabit it, and the things which they can wring from it by the sweat of their brow. "Germany during the immediate past was too weak to protest to the distribution of the earth's territory among the English. Likewise was Italy unable to protest, because, like Germany, she was engaged in the reconstruction of her empire." National Socialism, however, has now "told the world that it is en- | titled to exist side by side with other nations," Hitler sald. Naticnal Socialism, Hitler reiter- ated, all the others." "Has there ever been. anybody," National Broadcasting Company quoted the Fuehrer as asking, "who | gave the right to any one nation to deminate the world, to tell the rest of the world how it should live? & "Has there ever been anyone who gave England the right to tell the rest of the world how much terri- tory the ipdividual nation should occupy? "Let me illustrate my point by saying to you that there are now 120 Germans living in one square kilometre, while in the rest of the world there is just one person liv- ing cn each square kilometre of earth." Hitler said his "first aim always has becn the readjustment of the { Versailles Treaty," which he declar- ed w>s based gross injustice." "Never again a Versailles treaty," Hitler yelled, and was greeted with shouts of 'seig heil!" Hitler jibed at the democracies, where, he said, "the economic prin ciples are wrong--the entire eco- nomic order is upside down." "This rich America, this rich upon "nothing but England, this rich France -- yes, these countries, the so-called de- mocracies, are democracies based upon lies," he said. He declared the individuals should not have the right to dispose of the wealth of a nation and said that in Germany "the standard of produc- tion on the part of the German laborer," rather than gold, been the medium "has upon values has been based." "Thus, it is labor and work which the strength that is the he "It is work which has made it possible for Germany to pull out of the ill-adjustments of the treaty of Versailles, and it is work alone which will see Germany through her present struggles on the road to final victory."

MUST AID BRITAIN BANKERS ARE TOLD Says Nazis Hops to Use British Arms Plants for Selves By CLAUDE A. JAGGER Assoclated Press Financial Editor. Hollywood, Fla. National Defence Commission and a leading economist warned the American investment bankers to- day that the urgency and gravity | mediately recognized. Said Charles 8. Garland, finan- cial adviser to the industrial ma- terials division of the dzfence com- & Sons, Baltimore: -- dertaking is not fully realized, urgency not appreciated." Dr. Virgil Jordan, president of the National Industrial Conferenc: Board, a research organization sup- ported chiefly by large corpora- tions, asserted: -- "Our government has committed the American community to par- ticipation in this war as the econ- omic ally of England ... "Britain cannot escape defeat, and certainly cannot hope to win this war in any decisive. way, un- less our industries are able to double her (Britain's) production capacity in time--which means by next spring ,at the latest." He told the annual convention of the Investment Bankers Associa- tion that unless help from Ameri- can industry is able to do this" we shall have to match the combined productive capacity of England and Germany, and better it." He said German bombers were not trying to demolish British war plants or navy yards, but that "they expect to use them." And whatever the outcome of the war, Jordan continued, Britain will emerge so crippled she will at best "become a junior partner in a new Anglo-Saxon imperialism," in Which the United States "will be the centre of gravity." Garland, in reviewing the nation- al defence effort, said contracts let in the next few months would bring the total to $16,678,000,000, a figure equivalent "to the total dol- lar amount of stocks and bonds registered with the securities and exchange commission for the past six years," and this in addition to billions of British contracts. He warned that the production program is now in the "tooling up" phase, which takes time. -For in- stance, he said, "before we can even begin construction of a light tank 2,400 separate drawings must be " prepared, "There has been a good deal of loose talk about the production of hundreds of airplanes a day," he declared. "But to reach a daily pro- duction of 25. airplane engines of 1,200 horsepower: requires a capital investment of $30,000,000 a floor area of 1,000,000 square feet and 8,500 men, Compare these figures with the fact that 16,000 men can turn .out 2,000 of a popular make of automobile in a single day."
