Quick Courteous Service Two-One TAXI CO. CALL 21 -A 2 British Battleships Sunk by Japanese Planes (Continued from page 1) most tremendous news of war successes so far the sinking of two of Britain's mightiest capital ships and the landing of Japan ese forces in the Philippine Is landstoday to jubilant throngs of war stirred Japanese. Announcing that Britain's new, 35,000-ton battleship Prince of Wales and battle cruiser Repulse had gone down In the Pacific off air bombs, imperial headquarters declared "the British far eastern fleet has been obliterated." (The loss of the two ships was acknowledged by Britain but there was no Indication of other losses to substantiate the Japan ese claim that Britain's newly massed naval strength in the far east had been nullified.) Japan already had claimed na val supremacy of the Pacific af ter her Sunday air smash against the United States fleet In Pearl Harbor, and today a spokesman of the naval section of imperial headquarters declared the Japan ese navy is determined and pre pared lo obtain control of the air and seas in the Pacific, Indian and Antactitc oceans. Losses Acknowledged. In a virtual broadside of com muniques the army and navy sec tions of the Imperial headquar ters: Said Japanese landing parties had been set ashore successfully in the Philippines north of Ma nila in Joint land-sea-air opera tions against Philippine resist ance; Declared that previously-reported occupation of the United States Pacific island of Guam had been confirmed and that Ja- panese military and naval forces now were securely established there. A member of the navy press section of imperial headquarters asserted that "all Japanese air craft carriers In the Pacific are carrying out their tasks with full force" contrary to rumors abroad that one had been sunk. Against all these successes, the communiques said Japan had not lost one warship. They acknowledged only that two transports had gone down and two others were damaged, with no loss of life on any o them, and that 51 planes were missing. A terse announcement said that the Repulse sank instantly and that the Prince of Wales, crippicet and in llight from a first air assault, was destroyed in a second aerial attack. Restraint Urged. Emperor Hirohito dispatched a message of congratulations to Admiral Yamamolo, commander in chief of the combined fleets. Capt. Hiraide, spokesman of the naval press section, urged restraint, however. He told a national rally that Japan had smashed the main British and United States naval forces In the Pacific but must be prepared to carry on the war for a decade. Contrary to British and Ameri can expectations, he declared, the qualitative strength of the Ja panese fleet had risen tremend ously since the 1922 Washington conference where, he said, Brit ain and the United Sattes forced Coca-Cola Battling Company of 1 iaw iiaaaj v tX (?r3(Dooo . Japan an Inferior (5-5-3) naval ratio in hopes of preventing a Japanese naval victory. But the smash on Pearl har bor, he declared, has reversed the ratio and "the Japanese navy will continue to let actions speak in proving to the world the superior ity of the Japanese navy."
