Mr.
Churchill
spoke
in

House
of
Commons
assembled
for
the
first
time
since
August
6.
Although
giving
a
cheering
picture
of
the
battle
on
the
seas
with
a
sudden
Increase
in
British
and
Allied
successes
in
the
past

the
Prime
Minister
said
he
could
wish
that
aid
to
Great
Britain
rendered
by
"powerful
American
naval
forces
which
patrol
the
approaches"
to
the
Western

might
be
a

In
his
prediction
on
the
German
course,
Mr.
Churchill
said
Hitler
might
change
his
present
tactics
which,
he
said,
are
to
avoid
conflict
with
United
States
naval
forces.
The
Prime
Minister
said
that
Hitler,
doubtless,
would
"rather
