The Japanese, because of un-
faltering aerial superiority. were
victorious in the first great cam
paign of the war, Admiral Thom-
as C. Hart declared today, but in
doing so the enemy paid a cost
in ships sunk and damaged
which must give them great
future concern"
Admiral Hart made his statement
in giving the first official story of
the naval campaign in the Far East.
1t was a story reiterating the tre-
mendous striking power of the Jap
aneSe air force. but giving a report
of heavy japanese losses and
promise that the American Asiatic
Fleet, with personnel now veterans,
will continue the fight.
Admiral Hart who recently re-
turned to the United States after
asking to be relieved of command
of Allied naval forces in the Far
East, presented three-page state

ish capital ships Repulse and Prince
of Wales, Of loss of American naval
base facilities and of the commit
ments Of the Allied fleet in guarding
reinforcements being brought to the
area-particularly to Malay
He ended his prepared statement
with this frank admission and this
firm promise:
The American Asiatic Fleet has
been involved in the loss of a cam
paign. But the war continues and

Asked at the press conference to
elaborate on that paragraph. Ad-
niral Hart said simply: "A campaign
is not 6 war Many wars have Seen

paigns. This whole statement is
about only one campaign"
The Hart statement described the
campaign as one of amphibious war
fare, this most difficult and least
known variety of warfare Aircraft
took forward part in the fighting,
he said, and returned to that point
time and again in his statement.
Allied Loss Severe.
Discussing further the campaign
in ASiatic waters, the statement
made it plain that Allied naval
forces were not large and that a
full half of them were American
after the early loss of the British
RepulSe and Prince of Wales.
This severe loss of the only two
capital ships on the United Nations
side intensified because it also in
