TORPEDOES
Two shiploads of especially valuable and urgently
needed munitions were on their way. For greatest
possible protection, they were carefully centered in a -
large convoy.
Submarines struck. Mysteriously, the attack was
concentrated, on these two ships... as
if the enemy knew. Other ships wonkL
hare been easier targets.
The enemy did know. Both ships
were sank. last one move case where
someone :;: a stevedore ... a sailor
... possibly a plant worker where the munitions were
made thoughtlessly tipped off the enemy with careless
conversation.
For a quicker victory ... for a less costly one . . .
we must guard what we know about where men are
going, when they sail—particularly men passing
through this country from Europe to the Pacific.
Don't talk about anything that might help the Japs.
