Confidence of Allied Stand
Against Japs Increasing,
Churchill Tells Commons

against Japan in the Far East
was expressed in the house of
commons Tuesday by Prime Min
lister Winston Churchill.
The Prime Minister spoke brief
ly as he prepared to face the house
later for a three-day full dress
war debate and, if challenged. to
demand a formal vote of conf
dence.
Churchill was cheered as he
made his frs. appearance in the
house of commons since his re-
turn from the United States.
II naturally share the
anxieties that are felt"
Churchill said, but feel that
i also share in the growing
confidence which, I think,
might also be justified In the
eventual outcome of the
struggle"
Taking the opportunity to pay
tribute to the late Duke of Com
naught, last of Queen Victoria's
children and great-uncle of King
George VI, he again rejected
gloomy view of the situation. (The
duke, 81, died last Friday.)
More Hopeful Light
Il am most glad" Churchill
said, Ito feel that he lived long
enough to see the dark clouds
with which we were confronted
IL months ago brought out into
the somewhat clearer and more
hopeful light which surrounds US
at the present time"
Eighteen months ago the British
eXpeditionary force had evacuated
Dunkirk. Britain was almost
without weapons and a German in
vssion attempt was believed i'm
minent.
IL was the first formal
statement of the Far Eastern
situation since the prime min
lister returned TO England last
Saturday from his visit tn
President Roosevelt at Wash
ington which resulted In tn,
united nations agreement on
Far Eastern defense.
A restless and anxious house of
commons had awaited a statement
by Churchill on his visit and.
especially, on the grave Far
Eastern situation after the re-
peated British reverses in Malaga.
A few members of parliament.
who had been leading a demand I.
that Churchill purge his cabinet,
had expressed determination to
press him for an immediate state
ment and an immediate full dress
debate.

Women S Army
Corps Planned
1920 Volunteers
Provided in Bill
BY WILLIAM B. DICKINSON
United Press Writer
LONDON-Growing confidence
N the united nations stand

MASSACHUSETTS, army will
recruit an initial force of 10000
volunteers to form women's
army corps if enabling legislation
recommended by the war depart
ment is approved, Lieut.. Col. Ira
Swift, of the army's general staff
committee Tuesday.
Swift estimated IL would
cost S1O,0OO,O0O TO get the pro-
gram underway.
Although he set the initial force
at only $4,000, Rep. Edith Nourse
Rogers, r., Mass, author of the
bill, said the force probably would
reach a total of 10000 to $4,000
women in non-combatant posts.
Earlier Gen. George c. Marshall,
chief of staff, informed the COM
mittee by letter that the bill pre-
scented "a sound method for meet
ing military requirements"
81 think 1t can be assumed"
ne said. that all of our avail
able manpower and woman
power, In uniform and In in
dustry, will be needed to win
this war"
Marshall wrote that there were
many military jobs which women
could perform better than soldiers.
Swift said 300 women probably
would be used in air raid warnings
and filter" stations.
About 5000 civilian women
workers are now working in air
raid information posts but there Is
need for military control" he
said. Defects Of the existing sys-
tenn. he said, are absences of the
unpaid workers and the great turn
over in personnel.
Women with the air raid warn
ing service could perform such
duties as clerks, plotters. tellers.
spoilers and messengers. he said.
and in other military work they
could serve as clerks, machine
operators, telephone and telegraph
operators. dieticians and possibly
hostesses.
