Replacement of cruiser losses in
the British navy is taking place
faster than the Germans have been
able to sink this class of vessel
which is SO important for blockade
and escort duty The destruction of
the cruiser Southampton in the
battle of the Sicilian channel thus
does not weaken the British navy
in any serious manner.
Since the start of the war; the
British have lost four cruisers, in
cluding the Southampton, as re-
ported by the admiralty.

We're in the 4,200-ton class. The
two others were between 5000 and

TOKYO, Jan. II. UP)-News-
papers, reflecting increasing Japa-
nese anxiety and anger over Ameri-
can foreign policy, charged today
that Secretary of State Hull, in
his statement to the house foreign
affairs committee on wednesday
had outrageously distorted Japans
policies.
Koh Ishii, spokesman for the
cabinets information bureau, made
it known that the government was
preparing a formal statement in
reply to Hull after having studied
carefully reports from the embassy
at Washington.
1t was reported also that For
eign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka
would make a full dress speech be-
fore parliament, probably Tuesday,
on Japan's attitude and would
charge that the United States was
diSregarding the realities" of the
situation in the Far East.
The newspapers, which often are
officially inspired in such instances,
repeated a charge that the United
States had now issued a clear-cut
war challenge" to the Axis powers.
Japan, by reason of its alliance
with Germany and Italy, is linked
to them
They said also that despite what
ever the United States might do
Japan would proceed firmly with its
South Seas expansion program.

After War, What?
Nobody is Sure

Every Briton believes that Eng
land itself will see vast changes.
The war is grinding down caste diff
ferences, its cost and the losses to
property are levelling fortunes and
equalizing many social and econo-
mic disparities.
The war has given the labor par
ty major voice and share in re-
Sponsibility for the conduct of gov
eminent Should anything happen
to Churchill most Britons believe
that Ernest Bevin, the hard-hand-
ed trade unionist who is now la
Dor minister, is his most likely sue
ceSSor. The British also believe the
change would not make any ma
terial difference in the conduct of
the war or in labor's postwar role
AS far as that labor role can
now be enviSaged, it seems to the
British to be more likely to take
evolutionary rather than revolu-
tionary form.
Much of England will have to be
REBUILT. Inc loss IN ancient ana his
toric buildings has been cruel but
the tragedy is not unmixed. In Lon
don, for instance, the German bonn
bers have cleared great dismal
areas of slums and flimsey dwell
ings which in the postwar era
should be replaced with decent
housing units.
There will have to be widespread
economic, readjuStments, it is ad-
mitted, when the time comes to foot
the bill of the wars costs. Britain
is llquidating her overseas capital
to provide running expenses for
the conflict. Under President Roose-
vetfs lease-lend proposals Britain
presumably will obligate herself to
repay the United States large
quantities of goods or materials.

NEW YORK. Jan. II. (UP)-1f
Great Britain wins the war what
will she do with her victory?
That's a question much on the
lips Of Americans, we've found, but
it's not one which can be answered
readily in London.
There are too many uncertain
ties III the situation. BritiSherS are
inclined ta take the attitude eX-
pressed by Prime Minister winston
Churchill. First, that attitude is
Let's prove that we can survive
and win the war, When we've prov
ed that is time enough to talk
about postwar problems.
The average Briton is sure that
there will always be an England
because he is sure that England
will win the war. But he's not
so sure what that England will be
like after the war and even less
sure what the continent of Europe
will be like.
For instance, the Britishers now
don't waste much time thinking
about the possibility of an internal
revolt in Germany. That was fav-
orite dream in the early months of
the war Now it's a possibility no
one is locking for before the clos
ing days Of the war.

lost appeasement talk cropped up
occasionally. It's now been driven
from British minds. Britons can't
imagine accepting any peace that

There is another group which is
ltudying this problem. This is the

countries which now maintain
committees or governments on Brit
ish soil.

Loss Minimized

bOmbingS. The five new cruisers
Of the group now operating at
sea greatly counterbalance the four
destroyed cruisers. The two sunken
cruisers of the 4,200 class, the Cal
ypSo and the Curfew, were built
In 1917, and really were obsolete.
The largest of the destroyed cruis-
ers, the Effingham, of $3.50 tons.
was built in 1921, and was consid-
erably out of date at the time of
her loss.
The Southampton was finished
1our years ago and is the only
modern cruiser the British have
lost.
There still remain seven cruisers
IN service of the Southampton
class. She was a 9,100-ton ship. one
OF the two earliest of her class
and not as effective as most of the
others, built later and having
slightly larger tonnage.
The southampton had a speed of
80 knots, one knot slower than the
Fiji cruisers. This extra speed has
value in maneuYers for evading air
plane dive attacks.
1t is impossible to declare that
the loss of the Southampton can
nave any fundamental effect on
British sea power. In view of the
constant addition of cruiser strength
TO the British navy, the South
ampton's misfortune should not be
magnlfied. 1t is one of the hazards
OF war which must be expected in
conflict of the present intensity.

Trade Heavy Raids

CAIRO, Jan. IT, (UP)-The Roy
al Air Force communique today re-
ported that British and German
planes had traded heavy raids at
Catania, Sicily, and Malta in the
spreading battle for air control OF
the vital Mediterranean.
The attack on Malta was carried
out by German dive-bombers and
medium bombers with an escort OF
Italian fighter craft.
Royal Air Force fighters attacked
the raiders and Shot down five
while antiaircraft guns brought
down another five.
The dive-bombers attacked the
harbor at Valetta and damage was
said to be very heavy, particu-
larly to civilian property. However,
RAF equipment and bases were
said not to have suffered.
The Raj said Junkers 87's, the
famous dive-bombers which attack
ed the British fleet off Sicily a
week ago today, participated. They
were accompanied by Italian CRAP
fighters.

tant base and the communique re-
ported great damage to hangers

raid Sunday night an estimated 40

ground.
German and Italian communi-
queS claimed that the $4,000 ton
British aircraft carrier IlluStrious

damage sufficient to keep it out

How any one can wish to add even

Here's Something Else, Again
Many of us have labored under

it seems that our President is In

and here are the terms upon which
he Is willing to make peace: Freed
om Of speech and Of worship, social
security, and the end Of all wars
through disarmament. Until he can
write these terms into the peace
treaty we are told that the war
must go on.
