Britain's Danger Grows
Mitchell, Donald W. | August 9, 1941 issue

During the past three months conditions have favored the British. Driven by fear of an imminent German victory, the United States has enormously enlarged and speeded up its shipping program, formed a pool of domestic shipping for transfer to the British, extended its so-called neutrality patrol over most of the North Atlantic, and forestalled possible German moves in the direction of Greenland and Iceland. Yet despite these favorable conditions the war in the North Atlantic is still being lost and by about as large a margin as was the case six months ago.
