He was not advocating prohibi- tion but was urging a control ovei liquor sales. "I am very doubtful if. in n provlncc with a revenue of under $11,000,000. that 20 per cent of it should conie from the sale of liquor."

ation Last Night

(By KIBKE L. SIMPSON, Associated Prcle War Analyst)

Although isolated Netherlands and Allied garrisonc on Java may prolong the fight indefinitely, that battle also seems certainly lost and

already written off the strategy books.

The cost of this fresh disaster to the United Nations either in men and chips or in strategic foothold: in the Far Pacific from which eventu- ally to strike back at the invader: h yet to be counted. There can be no doubt, however. that the Nlpponeso campaign of conquest, driven home with stunning speed and efficiency down the China Sea, ha: premely critical point for Tokyo as well as for united na-

roached u lloual leadership. O

O I

Once the Java corner is turned, Japanese cirutorisi-e must quickly reveal their larger war design. They dare not hall. to consolidate ground liready won. They must march on. That is the faic of the aggressors.

They cannot stop,

That necessity drove Hitler, even with all the rest of the continent

0f Europe in his grip, to attack Russia. It may be driving him to wld- ening the war front in Europe in u. desperate spring effort to retrieve the initiative wrested from him by the Russians.

With Java virtually lost by the Allies, Tokyo must choose. has ai- rcady chosen no doubt, its next objective. The alternatives are limited,

the expansion of front and extension of communication

whichever course ls followed.

To many observers, India, and the complete isolation of China for

lines great,

eventual strangulation, seems already indicated in the Burma cam-

paign. On the other hand many Australians believe that the next Jap-

anese thrust may be aimed at their country.

Kai-Shek And Wavell

In Secret Conference

‘ _ . Rome radio claims Japs capture Rangoon; Situation in Burma no better.

LONDON, March secret conference be-yveezi Gen. Chmng Kai-Slick and Gen. sir Archibald Wavell, presumably over the defence of Burma, was disclos- ed tonight as the Japanese invad- ers pointed their next blow down the west shore of the Gulf of Mnrtaban toward the descried cap- ital city of Rangoon.

The Rome radio was heard claiming llifit l-llC Japanese had captured Rangoon. but the Jaipnn- rse themselves had made no such claim and it was noted that the Italian radio in ilie post has circu- lated false reports of siicii success- es The Berlin radio chiinned only that the Rangoori-M-Judalay-Lashio railway had been out but did not echo the Rome claim.

Gen. Chiang and Gen. Wavell met at Kunming, capital of Yunan province in South China and an important supply route junction.

It appeared likely lhat the Un- ited States also figured directly in the Kunming parleys. About the time the Chiang-Wavell meeting was disclosed in a dispatch from New Delhi, India, there come from Chungking a. message disclosing that Chiang also had conferred with Lt.-Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell, of the United States Army, now in China on a mission to co-ordinnle Aimericzin and Chinese war efforts.

Clllfiilg now has returned to Chungking, and Gen. Stilwell like- wise hlis arrived there, and the two are presumed to be continuing their talks.

The situation in Burma appear- ed no better. A brief communique issued by British headquarters in Rangoon today told of o, previously reported clash at Wanw. only 16 miles north west. of Peru.
