1t had admitted the loss of a

FLEET SMASHED
(The Australian radio, heard

There Is no doubt that the
Japanese invasion fleet con-
centrated In Northern Australian
waters has been smashed and
that the remnants are on the

round in a battle of great magni-

Well informed quarters reported
that the first report of American
losses was likely to come from the

leaders who organized and di-
rccted the battle of the Coral Sea

The United States and Allied
forces had STAYED off an invasion
of Australia.
They hoped to win a victory
which would not only eliminate the
danger of invasion entirely, but
would demonstrate American naval

credited today with enabling the
United Nations forces 10 crush
the Japanese feet in the battle Of

The fierce five-day naval engage
ment also answered one of the
paramount questions of the war
that OF the fighting ability OF the
democratic nations - and showed
that. given the proper equipment,
United Nations forces. man for
man. can readily Outright the Japs.
ADEQUATE AIR SUPPORT
In the battle somewhere off
Australia the United Nations ships
for the first time in any engage
ment in the Pacific were backed
up by adequate air support. In
this respect they met the Japa-
nese on an equal footing and stood
ready to make their mark.
The Jap ship concentrations,
caught in the range of United
States dive-bombing planes, were
blasted under the waves or sent
fleeing back to their bases.
Without air power the United
Nations naval units never would
have dared to intercept the Jap
feet and face the extreme danger
of air attack from the enemy
bases in islands above the COM
monwealth.
ABLE TO MEET ENEMY
With il they were able to steam
into battle and come away with
an overwhelming victory.
