Covers Prince Edward island Like the Dew

By Glenn Babb, Associated Press War Analyst

Gen. McArthuHs ‘ ,, gtalgmgnt Bataan is a reminder that there is a long and probably bloody trail back to be travelled before that filigody ls avenged. But a brief stocktaking i shows that already a good start has been made. that there has been a great and heartening turn in Allied prospects in the Pacific- theatre since that day when the military fortunes of the United States reached their lowest depth.

At this point on the road back the latest dispatches emphasize two I aspects of the situation in the Pacific. First, the Japanese are determined to maintain the offensive and are ready to spend men, planes and ships freely to that end. Second, the Americans have such a tremendous qualitative superiority in the air as to make any Japanese offensive ad- l ventures highly costly. , ' t

Both in the South Pacific and in Burma the Japanese are increasing their forces and their pressure. The navy's communique of yesterday [g- i cording another brilliant American air victory over Guadalcanel also illustrates the aggressive temper of the enemy. Out of 50 bombers and 48 fighters sent back to attack United States shipping off that Island Arn- Zfrlllfln fighters, shot down 2i Zeros, five dive-bombers and ll of other] H795-

On the Burma-Indian frontier again the Japanese are giving proof] of their aggressive purpose. Reinforced by fresh divisions and under l5 new commander, not yet identified, they have compelled the British-In-l dlan forces of Marshal Wavell to relinquish much of the territory gained i in the four-months-old minor offensive towards Akyab. |

General Yahagi, the army's mouthpiece in Tokyo, says the British retreat means that "the enemy‘s ambition of recapturing Burma has at’ ,last been crushed" and that this "has increased the confidence of our -forces to advance into India." The threat to invade India can he dis- counted.—but the developments in Burma at least have given Yahapii and his colleagues the first good material for boasting since the tldcl turned in the Solomons and New Guinea half a ycar ago.
