Japanese air attacks on Port Darwin look like Ill attempt to isolate Java for attack rather than a prelude to m invasion drive at Australia. They are aimed both at impeding American-Australian reinforcement of Jsvs sud at stirring popular eluuor in Australia sgoiust further weak- ening of home defence forces.

W GTON, Feb. l0—(AP)-— War Secretary Stimson ssld today the United States is massing its for- ces for the earliest possible offen- sive and would not disperse its strength to combat such coastal _ raids as the German attack on Ar- » uba. the Netherlands oil island.

Forays of that character. the Sec- retary of War told newspapermen. were to be expected “all along our

_ coasts" and at "other places." De- mands from "thoughtless persons" that the country's forces be scat-

That gives an impression of s successful surprise attack. Lacking word as to damage wrought, its effectiveness cannot be guaged. If the port was crowded with Allied combat and troop and supply ships, it could prove a heavy blow.

The nearest Japanese-held land bases for the bk bomber flight over Port Darwin are 800 miles and more sway, about their distance limit. The fighter escorts must have been picked up st sea from car- riers. The hunt for those carriers must be on by Australian and prob- ably American planes. Their elimination would go far to protect Port Darwin from further large-scale sir attacks.
