In a bitter editorial the newspap- er suid: “'I"e people must get their blood up" and suggested that when nl the details are known the gov- ernment should issue a while pap- cr.

"The Japanese have performed prodizies because we were unpre- pared." the Mail concluded. "Give our forces a fighting chance and they can smash this menace. We must show the enemy what sort of people we really are."

“Tic task is to avenge Hung H0113." The Express said as it call- ed on the bonnie to stand firmly behind lhe‘r leaders.

(By KIRKE L. SIMPSON. Associated Press War Analyst) Another step in United Nation preparations to strike s. crushing

blow eventually at Japan's vital Sea has been taken. this time in

An American srmy officer, LL-Gen. Joseph W. Stllwell. 111 Chi"!

n; President Roosevelt's personal representative, has Chief of Stuff under Gen. Chlang Kai Shel: for

been named operations on the

Chinese front. And It is in the great eastern bulge of China, south of Shanghai. that some of’ Japan's most important land bases lie. These bases protect the Nipponese sea traffic that sustains the enormously

extended threats to Australia and to lndla. I O U I I

The possibility that swarms of American planes may be based in China. within close striking range of Japan's Formosa. stronghold and of the teeming China Sea. wnr traffic is an alluring one.

Bracketed with widening American naval soriles

lntn the island-

siudded "hornets? nest" of enemy bases ln the north Pacific far west of Hawaii. the pattern of a future Sim-American pincer squeeze on Japan's China Sea conquest life line is obvious.

A Japanese claim says thatTruk Island, southeast of lost Guam and 3.000 miles west of Hawaii, was the objective of such an American sortie. That l5 unconfirmed from any American source as is the Tokyo

claim of a United States plane I O O

the southern Philippines.

American naval forces which may be operating in the lower North Pacific are roughly two-thirds

that area of of the way from

Hawaii to the Philippines. The Japanese claim indicates a task force similar to that which wrought havoc with an enemy air bombing

fleet west of the Gilbert Islands.

Like the Tokyo report of a frustrated bombing attack on Marcus Island, 1,000 miles north of Truk in the Bonin group, the Nipponese

account of the Truk episode is subject to

suspicion. Both might be

These manoeuvres were announ- ced almost sunultanicously with l. disclosure that Prime Minister Churchill would mnko l. statement at m. next session of Commons, probably on Wednesday, of the gov- ernment's intentions toward India's demand for concessions toward m- dependenco no tho price for he: dllwut co-operation in the war.

Construction of this policy wu complicated by the threat uttered by Mohammed All. Jinnah phat the Moslem minority of Indus. would pevolt if the plan were opposed to its interests, particularly it it de- nied Moslom auoonomy.

Operations on the Burma. front indicated meantime that Britain was staking everything on the bo- llar that me battered army qf Bur- ma could, with chines; aid. make a prolonged reel-stupor.
