Robert McLean president of The Associated Press and Evening Bulletin, back from England and Scotland, says Britons confident of victory seek to press the Allied air offensive. He warns American air power must be built up to blunt German defense tactics or risk missing the opportunity.

McLean notes Nazi resistance mirrors Battle of Britain and that Germany’s fate may rest on defense effectiveness. He spoke after an invitation from the British Ministry of Information and returned Saturday night by clipper.
