EDITORIAL The Italian Encounter - - The first notification pf the sea fight in the Mediterranean given over some of. the American radio stations was that the Italian fleet had won another victory over the British; -A few minutes later came a British announcement telling of a British hit and run engagement m which a number of Italian vessels were badly damaged, it being impossible to get near enough to the enemy to sink the vessels. If any British ships were hit, they were facing the enemy whereas the Italians were hit when steaming at full speed to get out of the way. Evidently it was a great iaval victory, one of which to be proud. It was one of the few occasions when the British had been able to get within striking distance of the Fascist navy. Up to the time of writing this no details of the fight had come through, but we always depend upon the British navy to win if they have half a chance. Evidently this was one of the occasions when the British took advantage of an opportunity and we are not sure yet just how great the victory was.
