Germany Reports
British Sea Power
Dealt Severe Blows
U-Boats Credited
With Sinking 21,500
Tons of Shipping
By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, July 8.—Heavy new
blows to British sea power were re
ported by the high command today
as, once again. Germany awaited
the word of one man—Adolf Hitler—
for the next phase of the European
W3T
The sinking of 21300 tons of
British shipping off the Spanish
coast, including the 13.000-ton
“armored British steamer San
Fernando,” was credited to U-boats.
Airplanes were said to have sunk
two merchant ships and a transport
and damaged others off the south
coast of England.
"In England," the communique
added, "the air force raided, among
other things, a railway station at
Brighton, coast batteries on the Isle
of Wight, port facilities and camps
at Falmouth Wells and armament
plants at Middleborougli and New
castle.”
Axis in Harmony.
When the Fuehrer will give the
word for the new war phase, and
what it will be. even men usually in
the know cannot say. But they are
confident that whatever happens,
Hitler and Premier Mussolini will be
in full harmony.
Hitler and Italian Foreign Min
ister Count Galeazzo Ciano con
ferred secretely for two hours here
yesterday and arranged another con
ference for Wednesday, preumably
intended to co-ordinate Rome-Ber
lin policies for reshaping Europe.
Today count Ciano inspected the
scenes of German victories in the
west which paved the way for the
downfall of France.
Official circles were uncommuni
cative concerning the topics which
Hitler and Count Ciano discussed
yesterday in the Fuehrer's chan
cellery but it was believed generally
recent events in Southeastern Eu
rope held an important place.
rruuicms,
Some speculated that plans for the
conduct of the war against Britain
also may have been discussed but
the fact Count Ciano lacked military
advisers was taken to indicate that
they dealt primarily w'ith diplomatic
problems.
(In Rome, the official Italian
news agency, Stefani, reported
Hitler and Ciano had “reached
complete agreement” regarding
continuation of the war and con
struction of “a new Europe.”
The authoritative Fascist editor
Virginio Gayda said the meeting
“will mean a new stretch on the
combative, constructive road of
new associated nations and their
great chiefs.”
(Reuters. British news agency,
quoted a Swiss newspaper cor
respondent as reporting from
Rome that plans for an offensive
against England—with Ireland
as the first objective—were dis
cussed).
The German high command re
ported that Nazi warplanes had
struck other blows at the British
fleet.
Destroyers Crippled.
Two British destroyers were said
to have been crippled so severely
by bombs in the North Sea that
“they must be considered lost.” Ger
man planes also were reported to
have damaged a 10.000-ton cruiser,
set fire to an 8,000-ton merchant
ship in Falmouth Harbor and sunk
b submarine and two small naval
vessels.
A Nazi motor torpedoboat was
credited with sinking a 6,000-ton
British steamer near the Isle of
Wight.
Tokio
(Continued From First Page.)
Bir Robert pointed out, moreover,
that “judging from the last year’s
record rainy season, which began
Bt the end of June, the amount of
goods transported from then until
September would not reach even a
tenth of normal quantity."
Export Ban Desired.
The report on the British reply
came after Yaklchlro Suma, Japa
nese foreign office spokesman, de
clared that closing French Indo
China and British Burma to Chi
nese exports as well as imports
would be "a desirable step,” from
the Japanese viewpoint, to hasten
successful conclusion of the war
with China.
Suma expressed this opinion in
comment on radio reports from
Indo-China that demands already
had been presented to French and
British authorities to shut off the
Chinese export trade. He added,
however, that he could not say ne
gotiations in this direction had ac
tually begun.
Japan has been seeking recently
to stop the flow of munitions into
China through both Indo-China
and Burma by representations to
French and British authorities.
Asked whether similar representa
tions might be made to Soviet Rus
sia, a large Chinese source of war
materials, Suma said:
"We are not immediately con
templating such a step, but we re
gard it as a grave question.”
Dome!, Japanese news agency,
reported meanwhile from Hanoi
that Fiench authorities had seized
all British vessels in the Indo
China port of Haiphong yesterday.
(British authorities in Hong
Kong denied that any vessels
had been seized and announced
the lifting of a ban on ship
clearances for Indo-China which,
they said, had been imposed last
week pending clarification of the
French colony’s attitude toward
Britain.)
A government spokesman said the
Tokio Foreign Office had received
reports, thus far unconfirmed, that
the French government was con
templating a declaration of war on
Great Britain, Domei reported in a
broadcast.
As such a development might lead
to clashes between British and
French forces in the Far East, the
Japanese government must take
precautionary measures, the spokes
man said.
