"the battle is still in progress and
the final result therefore cannot

Nevertheless. the naval commen-
tators added, lit can be said that
this is one of the greatest naval
battles since the outbreak of the

This comparatively sober note ap-
peared midway in lengthy Domei

to newspaper comments which pic
tured Japanese victory in extrav-
agant terms.

Another comment, attributed by
Domei to the Toxic Shimbun"-ap-

persons well acquainted with the

more extravaganza:
THE victory off the Solomon
