The British Empire troops were working against time for the Jap- anese were expected to bolster their Burmesg campaign wit-h ground and air forces released from the successful battle for Singapore.

(In London t-he Times sn-id that “provisions for defence will have to be raised" to meet o. new attack on Burma and Intila. It added that Allied staffs in London and Wash- ington are “now concentrated" on this problem.)

‘Today's communique said the situation on the new Bllin frcnt was unchanged. but. that British troops had ccme into contact. with a small force of the enemy to tho south. Royal Air Force bombers and fighters attacked Japanese posi- tions, stores and transport tn the Moulmein area. below the m0uth of the Satlween.
