|MouImein Immediate Jap Goal
In Sudden Drive Into Burma
Capture Of City Would Give Enemy Bose
From Which to Attack Rood and Rungoon

pressed, according to latest reports,
while enemy planes are dive-bomb-
ing and machine-gunning our in
fantry in several sections of this
area.
The immediate objective of the
Japanese is Kawkareik, which is
more southerly and inside the pro-
tective mountain range. The pass
between the pair of 3,000-foot ele-
vations is located at Suklo, the
misty hollow behind it. The Nip
ponese are concentrating their at
tacks to force this pass, after which
the defense of Kawkareik would be
much more difficult. From that
town the terrain is much easier to
Kyondo, where q river ferry Is 10
Gated, and Kyondo Is only 80 miles
from Moulmein, with both highway
and river avenues of approach.
Moulmein's defense, therefore. is
likely to be decided by the present
battle for Suklo and Kawkareik.
The extraordinary thing about the
Japanese offensive against Southern
Burma is that although the Nippon
ese armies have now opened up an
other front in the Pacific and South
Sea areas, they are still maintaining
aggressive activities.
Nevertheless, wherever they are
striking, the japanese forces are
showing great coordination and un-
questionable drive and boldness.
1t is possible that the latest thrust
against Moulmein is dictated largely
by the Japanese anxiety to clear up
the long strip Of British-held terri
tory which extends down to the Ma
layan Peninsula and so constitutes a
potential rearguard menace while
their forces are deeply involved in
the siege of Singapore. On the other
hand, Moulmein in Jap hands would
be another forward position from
which the Allied essential strong
hold, which Burma really is, could be
menaced continuously.
Necessary to Hold Line.
1t would seem inevitable that the
main British forces defending Bur-
ma be disposed of north of Moul-
mein. But should the Japanese cap
ture Moulmein it would then be es-
sential for the British Burmese line
along the Salween River to be held
with the greatest StubbornneSS In
order to prevent an enemy break
through to the lowlanded Sittang
River Valley, where Rangoon and
the Malay railroad are located.
The Japanese probably are equally
anxious to get Moulmein in order
to use its airport for aerial opera
tionS against Rangoon and the vital
first section of the Burma road.
If they could base fighter craft In
Moulemein, their bombers could be
strongly protected in raids on the
Burmese capital, Its port and neigh.
borhood.
For all these reasons, British re-
sistance at the eastern end of the
Myawadi-M -Moulmein road Is unusual
ly important for the next phase Of
the war throughout the Burma the
ater.

Foreign Correspondent OF The Star
and Chicago Daily News.

RANGOON, Jan. 23.-With their
sudden incursion into Burma, now
in its fifth day, Nippon's forces are
embattled on fully half a dozen
fronts in this part of the world. And
the wonderment is that, regardless
of that dispersal of strength, there
seems to be no diminution of jap
anese aggression in any theater.
Supported by dive-bombing and
strafing planes, the japanese have
launched a two-proEged, full-sta =
tured drive to cut OF Burma's south
ernmost, elongated finger and cap
ture Moulmein, important seaport Of
10000 population. If the Nipponese
forces can slash between two 5000
foot peaks, Mount Lwekhaw and
Mount Thagya, and across 60-mile
strip from the Thai border, they will
have. with the occupation of Moul-
mein, strategic new advanced air
base only 100 miles from Rangoon.
Regardless of their very large
forces which are tied up besieging
Singapore, it appears that the
Japanese are now sufficiently strong
to undertake a simultaneous cam
paign to gain Moulmein and put
their troops at the mouth of the
mighty Salween River. From that
point they would be a constant
menace to Burma's capital and the
Burma road, which is the main
Allied feeder line to China. Thus,
this new Japanese offensive is de-
signed to strike directly at the key
bastion in the Allies Far Eastern
left-central flank
Attack from Two Directions.
After sending Thai troops into
Amherst Province, south of Mya-
wadi, Monday, the Japanese fol-
lowed up the next day by strongly
attacking from two directions to
pinch of the first Is miles of the
only east-west road to Moulmein.
The first Japanese thrust was di-
rected at Suklo, slightly northwest of
Myawadi and the second against
Tiwakale, about 10 miles north of
Myawadi
Both British positions are hard

NEGRO LEADERSHIP
BY Emmett Stweart

Negro leadership" NAME
which 4 more than a name. II
means the plotting Of a great race
which We sincerely hope will be
destined 10 play a great part in the
future. We have been prosecuted
by inexperienced grafters OF both
races. This month we celebrate
the birthday Of Sojourner Truth,
a woman who was born slave,
and by her simple illiterate man
ner presented her fight for the
emancipation Of her people.
Her efforts were sincere without
thought OF personal gain.
Compare this with the modern
self-styled leader whose efforts
are for personal gains. II these
men who pretend TO be so smart
would wake up and realize The
harm they are doing 10 their race:
the men with the cigars in their
mouths Then there is the man
with the brains who is only de-
coy for the men in the various Of
fces OF political influence and are
seeking 10 suppress our race.
Though these men were discrimin-
ated against because Of selfish men
who have turned Judas on us. That
IS enough for any othe race 10 lose
their respect for US.
