FEELING OF RELIEF
PROSPECTS BRIGHTER,
(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright.) (10 a.m.) NEW YORK, Nov. 17. “The Solomons victory brings an indescribable sense of relief/' comments the New York Herald-Tri-bune,
“The dispatches from Casablanca describing the damage inflicted on the Jean Bart by the American 16 in. shells suggested to anyone knowing how few 16-in. gun battleships we have that the South-West Pacific position was being risked for the North African offensives. Such risks are legitimate and necessary in war, but cause anxious moments. The Allies have achieved great successes in the Ear East, the Mediterranean and the Caucasus, but the successes are not the final triumph. The enemy is still strong, daring and resolute, we must expect surprises and prepare for reverses. “The moment is brighter than at any in the three years’ great struggle. To translate its brilliant promise into actuality still calls for everything we have to give.”
