War Situation Last Night

By Glenn Babb, Associated Press Wai- Analyst

War secretary Stimson’: assurance that a. constantly increasing flow o! suwliss. olliwlllly planes, will go to Gen. MacArthur should dispel some of the anxiety aroused by the recent new; from the South- Wflt Plitlflv- There ll. however. no reason to believe that his statement discloses any fundamental change In policy, just as there is no reason to interpret the recent Japanese aggressivenesg as denoting any basic change in the always perilous situation in the Australia area.

Certainly there la no departure from the United Nations‘ master klan 0f dealln with Hitler first. It la conceivable that Gen.

army's perluas veness during his recent mission to Washington had something to do with increasing the flow o! planes to MacArthui-‘s coin- inand but that is a matter of degree. not a shift oi’ emphasis.

The series o! lull-plane raids in the New Guinea. and Solomons areas in the last lew days leaves no roam lnr doubt that the enemy has opened a new tactical phase. it is marked by increased aggressiveness and an obvious readiness to expend planes and pilots in relatively large numbers. It ernphaslles the importance nl maintaining or strengthening our present line of air bases above Australia from which the bombers must lly in hold that invisible line beyond which the Japanese can not move major forces except at suicidal cost. Only In that way, in the current phase, can the Allies offset the greatly superior strength ln sea. and land forces the Japanese are concentrating along the area of which Truk, ln the Carolines, is the control point.

Success Will Mean Much To This Country

HAMILTON, April 15- (C P) — Ci. W. Spinney, Chairman of the Nat- ional War Finance Com- mittee, said tonight the success of Canada’s Fourth Victory Loan is ‘of more vital significance =to the war program and the future of Canada than any previous fin- ancial undertaking in the

nation’s history.

"It would be a fatal mistake if We were to make the easy assump. tion that because the previous loans ivere over-subscribed, this oiic. with a much larger objective to meci, will somehow come out all right-that with about the same a- mount of effort as before and with about the same iiidividualresporise, we will end up with another loan well over-subscribed," Mr. Spinney said in an address prepared for de- livery at a loan rally.

"The success ol this loan is oi’ more vital significance to our war program, to tiie fut- ure of our cause and of this country, than any previous fi- nancial undertaking in the na- tion's history."

The fourth Victory Loan, open- ing April 26 ivith a nifliimum ob- jective of $l,l00,00'J,000, llflS the double duty of providing funds for war needs and preventing infla- lion, Mr. Spinney said.
