Recalling that Saturday was the 25th anniversary of the Battle of Jutland, after which the German Fleet remained in harbour until it sailed to the Firth of Forth to surrender, Mr, Albert Victor Alexander, First Lord of the Admiralty, yesterday said that sinking of the Bismarck "might be regarded as an augury of a similar course of events."
Referring to American aid, Mr. Alexander said in a speech that) "President Roosevelt's recent declaration was backed by a speech which I believe clearly indicated that Chancellor Adolf Hitler will not be allowed to win...
"Great strides are being made in supplies and materials coming from the' United States, and other large quantities of materials are coming from the Dominions," Mr. Alexander said. "With these, and with every effort being made to maintain and increase our own war programme there can be no doubt of ultimate victory."
