There haf been full publicity in regard vio plans for the care of refugees at least since President Rooxevelt created his War Refugees Board lastJanuary. In March the report of the American-British refugee conference, which had . Bet in Bermuda, was publicly released & A Naval Battle Won, But Not a War The Japanese losses in their futile triple-speared effort to maim the Leyte invasion armada continue to mount They give additional evidence that our Navy nd It air arm have won an imposing victory. The price the enemy paid in 'the three major categories of ships for a plan of attack which failed .utterly stands' now as follows: battle ships 2 sunk, 8 ! damaged; carriers 2 sunk, I damaged;- and cruisers 3 sunk, I damaged. In the cruiser and destroyer category especially, the list probably will continue to be revised upward. For the present, only battleship and carrier . losses need be considered in1 assessing the hurt done to the Imperial Fleet The blow dealt by Admirals Xlncaid and Halsey is worse than that Yamamoto dealt to us at Pearl Harbor if we assume that ."damaged" in this case means the Incapacitation of these capital ships. We lost no carriers at Pearl Harbor. All of our eight battle ships in the Pacific were, put out of action but three were soon repaired. Two were irreparably lost The Japanese have lost an equal number of these shipi in the Philippine battles. One .is of the Ytvmtiro class, launched in 1915, corresponding in age to our now-obselescent Pennsylvania class. But there is this difference between Pearl Harbor and the Battle of the Philippines. The blow at Pearl Harbor incapacitated only eight of our seven-: teen battleships or less than half our .-total strength in this category (hi both bceans). The blow in Philippines incapacitates ten tif the twelve known .enemy battleships and. If the carriers sunk are first-line, nearly a third of the enemy's main striking force. Admittedly this Is an optimistic estimate. "Damaged" is a word that allows wide latitude of interpretation. Several-of the ten enemy battleships along with the crippled flat-top may be so slightly hurt that they are still effective fighting units. And all that are able to limp back to their bases fortunately for them, these bases are near at hand can be repaired to fight again. For the present, the naval threat to the landings on Leyte has been decisively removed and at a remarkably low' cost to our own forces. The com-mmiqvig admit to date only the loss of a com'erted-cruiser carrier, and an escort carrier, along with planes and light naval units. The blow probably Insures the success of the entire Philippine operation In Its naval aspects and there. is no reason to doubt that our land1 forces will prove unequal to the taskj of retaking the archipelago. But beyond that the victory does not go. It does not mean the Japanese Fleet has nq mare sting In its tail It, does not mean the difficulties and complexities of an assault by land on the- Japanese horde islands have been materially lessened. With the sobering thought in mind, we call celebrate the Philippine .victory ; and -confidently, expect others' in time to come which Will put us ever nearer Tokyorv:::v;: -.; " 'N'' Canterbury In the death of the Most Rev.
