London, December 12

Replying to Japan’s cordial congratulations on the success off Falkland Isles, Mr Churchill cabled that though the British squadron had struck the final blow, the destroying squadron was based on Tsing-tau, and the result was largely due to the powerful and untiring assistance of the Japanese fleet. Had the enemy turned westward, the honors would have.rested with the Japanese and Australian squadrons. Peace in the Pacific was now restored, and the commerce of all nations was safe. Mr Churchill concluded by tendering, on behalf of the British and Australian navies, renewed expressions of their earnest recognition of Japan’s invaluable naval assistance.
