Churchill Tells Blunders

IDNDON, Aipfll ll—(C'P Cubic) —-F0liowin¢ are the passage: in the speech of the First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill, describing Germany's invasion of Scandinavia as a Napoleonic blun- der and announcing that. tho Royal Navy will wipe out all German shipping in the skagerrak and the Kattegat:-

1 consider Hitler's action in ln- vading Scandizivaia as great a strategic and political error as that of Napoleon when he invaded Spain.

Hitler‘: Blunders

Hitler has violated the loll of peoples dwelling in extensive countries, capable of maintaining with British and French ald ro- loriged resistance to his sol iers and his Gestapo.

I-Ie has almost doubled the effi- ciency of the Allied blockade.

He has made a whole series of commitments for which he will now have to fight, if necessary. during the whole summer, against powers possessing vastly superior naval forces and able to transport their forces more easily than be can.

1 cannot see my counter-advan- tage he has gained except tho- satisfactlon of another exercise 0f his brutal lust of unbridled power.

Grieved as we are at tne misery now extended to wider areas we are greatly advantaged by what has occurred provided we can, with unceasing and increasing vigor, turn to the utmost the strategic blunder into which our mortal enemy has been provoked.

Everyone must. recognize the reckless handling which has flung a whole German fleet out upon the savage seas of war as if it were a mere counter to cast away for s, particular operation.

We and the French are far stronger than the German navy. We have enough forces to maintain control of the Mediterranean at the same time as we carry on our operations in the North Sea. But In the very much smaller forces of the German navy most grievous losses have been already sustain- ed. Norwegian batteries have tak- en their toll. Four German cruis- ers-nearly half the total strength —ha.ve been sunk and a number of German destroyers with sev- eral morc U-boatg have been de- ‘stroyed, all since Sunday.

German Navy Mutilated

The German navy must be ro- gardcd a5 deeply mutilated in re- spect to this extremely important, indispensable cruiser strength. Our submarines, no means asleep, have taken a heavy toll oif German transport and store ships crossln toward Scandinavia. We have gven them fullest. liberty of action where humanity does not impose restraint.

All the German ships in the Skagerrak and the Kattegat will- be sunk and by night all ships will be sunk as opportunity serves. We are not going to allow the enemy to supply their armies across these waters with impunity.

The Germans have already ord- ered all merchant ships from this

area. In this respect our advice coincides with theirs. we hope to take an increasing

toll. Up to the present nearly a dozen ships, some of large ton- naze, have been sunk or captured either in the Kattegat or in other parts of the North Sea or in at- tempting to bring supplies to the force landed at Nai-vik.

Nazis Silent - 0n Activities

BERLIN, April 11 —(CP) -Ger- man officials maintained a 118N- llpped silence about the air and sea war in Scandinavia. tonight, claim- lng that "to divulge all etails now would of_ course be RWIIIRI valuable information to the enemy.’

Instead, the new; agency DNB and the German rcss devoted space to explaining the German public that the “protective arm" which the Reich thrust into Scan; dinavia, came "in the nick of time to forestall what they called a British plan to attack the Reich

In u: hour-long review of the lea and alr battle along Nor- l Way's Jagged coastline, Mr. Churchill gave the House an interim report of the navyis feat; which, he said, "are worthy of any in our history." The First Lord denied that Bri- tain had occupied any of the Ger- mari-captured points on Norweg- ian territory. but lie q-uve a broad hint that the German garrisons would be uprooted Just as soon as the navy had cut communication lines between the Reich and Nor- way and had finished its immed- iate tasyr of sweeping the German navy from the seas.

If. still was extremely difficult to compute the German naval and merchantshlp losses with any dc ee oi’ accuracy but Mr- Church l’! words that "I con- alder the German fleet crippled in im rtant respects" give! some dca. of their extent,
