L. SIMPSON. Assocla‘ ’ Press War Analyst) Until Japan discloses her plans for capitalizing on the Allied dis- aster in Burma, the full significance of that United Nation defeat ls beyond conjecture. There can be llltle ‘uestlcn. h .. r lamentary debate in London this week. Its lo lly in the scheduled pa rearms Prime Minister Churchill's , that Burma will figure heav- es critics. It make: his silence in the recent war-accounting symposium that included Hitler, Stalin and President Roosevelt all.the IEIOIB.IIOKC.WOIUIY. What salvage values can be found m Burma for Allied leadership necessarily depend on what happens in Russia. That road to India and pcstern gate to China was obviously left exposed to what now has hap- pened in order that Britain's growing air power might be concentrated to ald Russia by diversion attacks from the west. There ls another element in the situation, however. Monsoon weather on the Burma approaches to India and Chino is still to be reckoned with. The rains are too close at hand to warrant the con- clusion that Tokyo even hopes to exploit the Burma victory by march- ing in either direction. What seems developing l; a Jlipanlese elforfto trap and leslrcy the British-Chinese forces west of the Iashlo break-through. The Japanese have already driven northward along the Burma road perilously close to Wan ting Junction on the Yunnan-Burmese border. Its all would break the last road contact between Burma and China. A Japanese sweep westward to Bhamo in the Irrawaddy Valley from Wangling could place the enemy in the rear of General Still- well‘: Chinese troops and also on the main British supply lines from India up the Irrawaddy.

May 4-(0?) - De- mand for a Government explan- ation of the release from intern- ment of James Francheschini, Italian-born industrialist of Tor- onto. Was made in the House of Commons today by John Dlefen- baker (Con. Lake Centre). ‘He raised this question during discusson of a resolution moved by Justice Minister St. Laurent. setting up a 15-member select committee to review the Defence of Canada Regulations. Many questions of this nature were directed at the minister in the afternoon's debate on the resolution and Mr. St. Laurent had just started hi; reply when the House arose for the dinner recess. OTTAWA, May 4 —(CP)— Justice Minister St. Laurent tonight told the House of Com- mons that James Franohes- chlnl. wealthy Italian-born in- dustrialist of Toronto, was re- leased from internment because ill-health rendered him unlikely to prove a danger to the state. The minister said Frances- cliini's original internment was justified but his release, ordered last fall by the late Justice Min- ister Lapointc, was also lusti- fled. i..- “Was James Francheschlni guiltiess?" Mr. Diefenbaker asked. "Was a grave mistake made in his internment and his being de- tained for nearly a year?" No satisfactory statement had been made by the government, Mr, Dlefenbaker said. It was merely announced that clemency was extended because of Fran- cheschinrs ill-health. "Since when did health become a justification for releasing a man if lie was not guiltless, who was interned i.o prevent lilm carrying on wrongful actions against the state?" he asked. The impression should not be allowed to grow up in Canada that wealth or position counted in the minds of those administer- ing the regulations.

It was presumed that a considerable force was sent and already is in a position to put up a fight to hold the great island. fourth largest in the world. Madagascar lies athwart all the Indian Ocean shipping lanes, and in enemy hands would be a power- ful sea and air base to cut off allied supplies to Russia, via the Persian Gulf, as well as throttle Britain's own supply lines t0 the fighting fronts.
