MELBOURNE
American Commander Is
Confident OF Ultimate
Success Against laps

MELBOURNE, Australia, March
21-Gen. Douglas Macarthur ar
rived here today and was enthusi-
astically greeted by large crowd
which was thrilled by him at his
promise that the Allied defense will
give way to an offense to drive
the Japanese out of the Philip
pines and to crush Japan.
Gen. Macarthur said he was glad
to be in immediate cooperation
with the Australian soldier. The
American General said he knew the
Australian soldier we'll from the
first world war days, admires him
greatly and II have every conf
dence in the ultimate success of
cur joint cause
General Macarthur also said:
Success in modern war requires
something more than courage and
willingness to die. 1t requires care
full preparation, furnishing of suf-
ficient troops and material to meet
the known strength of the poten-
tial enemy. No General can make
something from nothing. My sue
cess or failure depends primarily
upon the resources the respective
Governments place at my disposal,
My faith in them is complete. III
any event I shall do my best and
shall keep the soldiers faith"

Prime Ministers in SQUAD

CANBERRA, Australia, March q
"A long distance controversy be-
tween Prime Minister Winston
Churchill and John Curtin, head
of Australia's laborite government,
over Australians minister to WASH

die, is being aired.
Crisp exchanges between the two
leaders, were issued in advance
of the White Paper, promised next
Wednesday to contain the full doc
umentation of the argument over
the best use for Casey.
Churchill wanted him to be Min
ister of State in the Middle East
British War Cabinet, representing
the United Kingdom there in ali
but strictly military matters. Cur
tin wanted Casey to stay in Wash
'ington where he said Casey's con-
facts made him the most valuable
to Australia and said his replace
ment would be most difficult.
Churchill, according to the sum-
mary, said he first learned that
Casey was eager to change when
he spent night with the min
lister aboard a train on his visit
to the United States in December
and January.
Curtin said Casey never intimat-
ed to him or any other minister
that he was ready for the shift, and
when asked by Churchill, did not
take the offer.

Taft. We'll, you make plenty OF
loans to big concerns with no more
chance of repayment. I notice you

MOSCOW, March 21-The Red
Star, official publication of the
Soviet Army, said today that Ger
many's Army has lost its blitz strik-
ing power and is now unable to
develop an offensive over the en-
tire Russian front. The toll taken
of the Germans in retreat has so
weakened the Nazis that they will
be unable to hurl force against the
Red Army as done last summer. the
newspaper also declares.
The Red Star admitted the Ger
mans can concentrate great forces
on separate fronts but the Rus
slams will then put on more pres
sure like is being done on the
trapped German 10th Army at
Staraya. Reports from the front
tell of the capture of important
Nazi defense centers and the
slaughter of hundreds of desperate
Nazis trying by any means TO
break out of the encirclement at
Staraya. The report says German
soldiers, with hands in the air,
trudged toward the Russian lines
to surrender but were shot in their
backs by their own officers.
