TO BE EXPECTED
The announcement by Admiral Nimitz that ‘*^peverar’
of our warships* had been damaged in the naval battles
around the Philippines was to be expected, and is nothing
to become excited about. No boxer ever came out of a bout
with a strong opponent without absorbing a lick or two, or
a football team without a few Charlie horses and bruises.
You can't sink 60 ships without absorbing a few. hits.
It might be assumed that the damage to American ves
sels is infinite^mal compared witl^the weekage that was
the^Japanese fleet. 'Asid

le from our ability to .absorb the
punches without weakening our own haymakers, we are in
infinitely better position to repair the damage to our warships
than are the Japs.. We have dry docks and repair yards
where we can work on them unmoleted, while the Japs must
work on them where at any minute B-29s might be laying
1,000-pound eggs down their necks.
Probably none of the Jap ships hit in the fight will be
in position to fire another salvo in this wal*.—The State.
Under the menace of Naziism the nations of the world
got together to meet the menace, without worrying about the
profits; when peace comes they will revert back to money-
consciousness. ^ ~
Berlin radio complains that Russian spies, disguised as
Nazi generals, get through German lines and issue phony
commands. It » not fejt, thoughj^ that the fading Wehrmacht
can do muchlbettw under the new command.
