ONLY BLUNTED JAPS.
"SHEER FOLLY" TO SAY MORE Special Australian Correspondent. Rec. noon. SYDNEY, May 14. __ A widely-published article by Sir Keith Murdoch, chairman of directors of the Melbourne Herald and the Weekly Times, says: "The best that can be said of the scattered fighting on a wide circle over sea and island centred in the Louisiade Archipelago, is that we have blunted, and in part broken, the vanguard of the Japanese Expeditionary Forces. To say we have smashed a great invasion fleet is sheer folly."
