ada s war effort with a summary by the primp minister mr kings statement was prompted by a request made by mr hanson in the rouse last thursday in which he said i do leel that the situation today in the theatre of war over there la just as serious as it was at the time of the fall of france the virtual destruction of the cit ies of birmingham bristol and south ampton the loss of shipping as evid enced by press reports and in parti cular the utterances of the marquis of lothian with respect to finance in dicate the seriousness of the position mr king in replying to this state ment urged the members of the house to use great care in their public ut terances and stated that the admission by tire lender of the opposition of the virtual destruction of the cities of birmingham bristol and southamp ton was rot only inaccurate but was an admission which would bring joy to the enemy he said that while serious pi damage was inflicted the actual figures did not indicate any thing more than serious civilian pro perty loss birmingham has a population of 415 009 people bristol has over a million inhabitants southampton 178 000 and coventry 204 000 though the des truction in coventry was much more severe thar in any of the other dtles above mentioned there were only 400 deaths and no serious damage done to any war industries in that city as to loss of shipping during recent weeks loss of british shipping has been greater than the amount of new ship ping which is being built in the old country but canada and the united states htve both received orders for merchant shipping eighteen mer chant vessels are to be built here this coming year as to the money situation dealt with by marquis lo thian it is true that the problem ol obtaining u exchange is very serl ous and that britain is almost at tht end ol her resources in this respect but li b much belter that this fac should be made known to the u s so thai their neutrality act and the johnson act may be repealed in the light of present world conditions it would be difficult for me to buleve that hit united states would with hold wm supplies to gnat britain be tan t oi in i mubilitv to mnke pay- ntn in i old oi in us
