The

challenge
to
the

now
has
at

three

Whether

would
take
up
the
challenge
to
the
full
was
not
apparent
although
last
week
it
was
reported
the
Navy
was
seeking
out
the
Japanese
for
battle.
Mr.
Churchill
said
he
could
say
nothing
about
the
disposition
of
the
British
fleet
without
benefitting
the
enemy
but
he
declared
that
recent
British
losses
had
not

confidence

of
