Photo caption on P. 3: “Yesterday [General Masaharu Homma] asked that the Japanese Navy emerge from hiding to assist their army on Luzon.”

Homma is in forced retirement and must not have heard the news from Leyte.

All the Emperor's shinto priests and shamen cannot summon forth and reform the fleet from its hiding places along the bottoms of the Philippine Sea, Sibuyan Sea, Surigao Straight and assorted Philippine waters.
