y Glenn Babb, Associated Press War Analygt

It appears the United Nations are not going to led Japan win the China war by default. The Burma-China theatre is getting u, new pplprlly NU!!! in the Allies master plan. That is the unmistakable meaning oi‘ the presence of Field Marshal Sir Archibald Wavell and his naval and sir associates in the retlnue which accompanied Prime Minister Church- lll to Washington.

Waveil commands the British armies of India from which will be drawn most if not all of the divisions to be used when a real effort is made to reconquer " and open an avenue by which the swifily rising power of the Allies can flow to China's rescue. Admiral James Somerville heads the naval forces based on Ceylon which must sweep the Japanese ﬂeet from the Indian Ocean before such s. campaign can be wased. They and air chief Marshal Sir Richard Pelrsc were not sum- moned to tlis conference to discuss the invasion of Europe, although that doubtless also is on the agenda.

The new emphasis on the Indla-Burrua-Chlnu. theatre does not mean that the United Nations have abandoned the bept-tlitler-first strategy. The Washington council doubtless will deal with tho coming assaults on the European continent and the battle of the Atlantic. But perhaps it does mean that new factors make possible and wise the allotment of ad- dltlonai forces now, ahead of the original schedule, to deal with the en- V!!! ll! “ ‘ Asia.

These factors would seem to Include the gravity or the Japanese threat to China, the advantage gained by opening the Mediterranean route to India, the completion of new military resources which may not be needs‘ for the storming of Europe, chieﬂy naval.

It still does not‘ seem likely that large scale land operations can be begun against the Japanese in Burma. before the monsoon ends next 0610561‘. ﬂlihﬁlllfh MW plans may call for bucking even the monsoon. But the slowing naval power of his United States and Britain may make possible an early beginning of the Iran] nun“. . . .

The concent " of a formidable British-American naval force in the Bay of Bengal would challenge Japan to send some of her best units there. It would establish the western jaw of a. gigantic plncers, with Ad- IIIIPBI Nlmltl’ Plﬁlflc fleet forming the other, which would compel Japan to lIlll-ke a disastrous division of her sea forces. Or it might force her ultimately to withdraw her first-line fighting ships either from the Indian Ocean or the South Pacific. In either case a great strategic success would be won and the Allies would be well on the way to China's rescue.

Cnly Three Days Remain

Victory Loan Cam- paign Closes Satur- day Night.

County objective week in the fourth victory Loan campaign has reached the half way mark and the figures released at headquart- ers last night give but slight in- dicetion of what is really going on all over the province. The County chairmen are Just getting their followers properly lined up and re- ports coming in from all quarters indicate that County Pride will see that the County objectives are reached, as well iis that of the Pro- vince as a whole.

This of course is a minimum figure and it must not be assumed that the districts now leading will be able to continue their rapid ad~ Vance to the end that the lagging

‘districts need not worry about the

final outcome. Every single district, village and town MUST assume full PBSDOII‘ sibillty for the local quota and en- deavour to have it exceeded‘ by a respectable margin. Then anal only then can the campaign assume the proportions of a general success. Absent treatment can be of no ef- fect in s. case of this kind. The absence of s list of those who are doing their bit on the home front, may mean the defeat of the whole

reject, and certainly can mean the Toss of the l-lonour Trophy.

This fight is ours to the lest doll- ar and the last dime. Make no mis- take the sooner we have the mater- ial in the hands of our fishtinll men, the sooner this terrible and devastating conﬂict will be over.
