impede war efforts.
Until final victory is achieved
all OF this nations vast resources
of men, materials and machines
must be directed to the production
Of an ever-increasing quantity Of
war materials at an ever-increas-

be no compromise with the achieve

from the floor as to why he had
called off a strike last fall after

British and Dutch authorities IN
the Southwest Pacific are not ex-

reinforcements. The japanese
menace is increasing. They are
edging closer 10 what appears to
be their two main objectives-
Burma and the main Indies islands,

danger to Java will be greatly

The japanese goal, as has been
pointed out. is TO get entrenched
in all the principal possessions of
the united nations before their full
strength can be modified. II
would leave the united nations
without adequate bases when the
time comes for the grand assault

Japanese, although not entrenched.

Despite the vast scope of the
operations. the pace Of the Japan

might be the most serious of all,
is against Burma. Having taken
Moulmein on the sea, they are
trying to drive to Rangoon. about
200 miles away by land around the
curve of Martaban bay. Only the
line of British defenders along the
Salween river stands in their way.
This line must be held If Ran

lance is so great that it would not
