Near East Lond Bridge Is Key to Strategy
Of Allies as War Enters Fourth Year

into the war automatically decided
the final result" he said. and he
declared the Allied raid on Dieppe
proved that an invasion of the
Continent Is absolutely feasible"
The attention accorded the Near
East does not dim the Importance of
the great battle for control Of mari
time communications. The indus
trial output of the United States and
Great Britain will be the basic fac
tor In the eventual defeat OF the
enemy, but the Axis in operations by
sea and air has drastically limited
distribution.
Unless maritime communications
with Russia are improved, observers
find 1t difncult to see how the
Soviets can achieve an offensive In
Eastern Europe

Africa and Russia In Iraq or Iran
would almost completely isolate
Russia and India and would fore
shadow junction OF the japanese
and Germans In 4 vast military
structure.
Strategical Situa ton Reviewed.
The Nazis then would be able to
transfer at least $50 divisions to
Western Europe.
Here is an outline Of the world
strategical situation as seen In Lon
don as the fourth year of the war
opens:
WAR IN THE AIR
The Raj has balanced German
superiority over the Red air force
by a series of paralyzing raids on
German industry. Enemy defenses
have proved inadequate and the
average British loss in these sat
uration" raids is we'll under 10 Der
cent.
The fighter command of the Raj
and the United States Army Air
Force combined to exercise air
superiority In the Commando raid
on Dieppe. 10 miles from the nearest
Allied airt1eld, with great loss to the
enemy.
This feat marked the ascendancy
OF the Allied air forces and indicated
to the British that the time Is at
hand when Allied fighters will be
able to spread the necessary air UNI
brella over any invading forces in
Western Europe.
But German and Italian cir power
has virtually closed the Western
Mediterranean to all but heavily
escorted conveys.
WAR AT SEA
Both the British and United
States navies are regarded as having
recovered from the crippling blows

Body Found in Woods
Believed MISSING BOYS

A body, tentatively identified as
that of Harry Swain, is. missing
from his home at Forestville, Nd,
since May 4, was found in a woods
near the Forestville-R -Ritchie road
last night by two men who were
gathering fire wood.
The tentative Identification was
made from the clothing and discov-
cry of bicycle nearby, known to
have been owned by the youth.
DR.. James l.. Boyd, Prince Georges
County medical examiner, said
death probably occurred about the
time he was reported missing The
body was found on the ground near
a belt and rope suspended from a
tree limb, DR.. Boyd said.
Prince Georges County police are
investigating the death. The

asked county police at Marlboro fol
help in locating his son, yesterday

New White House Offices
Nearly Ready for Use

The new of1ice wing on the east
side Of the White House. built almost
entirely OF non priority materials,
will probably be occupied about the
middle of this month, Mrs. Roose-
welt disclosed at her press conference
today.
Promising to take women reporters
through the new wing when 1t Is
completed, Mrs. Roosevelt said she is
proud OF the fact that no air-con-
ditioning unit, ONCE partitions or
any other equipment requiring war
materials has been used In It's con-
struction.
Despite Its simplicity, however. the
ofIlces are light and airy and should
be pleasant In which to work, she
said. Her entire staff, the White
House guards and several other OF
the White House ofices will be
moved into the wing, on which work
was started eArlysthis year.

The next day we started back at
0430, without much appetite for the
trip. We swung far to the eastward
from Tulagi and just as we we're
about to emerge from the cover OF
Florida saw flashes of gunfire off
Guadalcanal. "Subs!" we thought,
and we later learned we were right.
We lay to for a few minutes and,
when the gunfire ended, started
across the straits and made our
journey without further incident.
The main point of all this Is
that we did manage to get to Tulagi
Gavutu and Tanambogo and hear
their stories over there.
They had brave story to tell;
the fighting was bitter in that area
and the marines there are now
veterans and heroes. We had only
six hours of daylight and didn't
begin to cover the ground thor
oughly, so our stories are not yet
complete.

WAR ON LAND
The Allies have lost q staggering
amount OF territory since the out
break Of the war. Europe, from
the Atlantic to Central Russia and
from the Caucasus to North Cape,
lies under German domination.
Malaya, the Netherlands Indies,
the Philippines, Burma and Libya
all fell to the enemy in the third
year OF the war.
China, the senior Allied combat
ant, Is seen as being slowly encircled
by the japanese, who are reported
to be waiting for some significant
Russian defeat, such rs the fall of
Stalingrad, to launch an attack on
Siberia.
Yet, If the Near East land bridge
Is held and Russia Is able to fight
on, the position of the Allied land
forces, in view of their steadily
increasing air power, is considered
to be very favorable.

ing offensives are in the hands Of

Japan is, preparing for military
operations in another quarter might
well be recalled.
Under Strong German influence.
However, it might be over -simpli-
fication to presume that Togo, con-
fronted by q decision Of the military
to resort to arms against Russia,
had resigned In protest against this
alternative to his program Of diplo-
matte naturalization of Russia.
Togo, 1t must be remembered. has
been under strong German influence
for years. His wife is 4 German.
For q long period, even before
Japan's participation in Axis plans,
Togo was regarded as Japan's out
standing exponent OF Japanese
German collaboration.
He might, however, have objected
to some new shift of policy toward
Russia on purely practical grounds.
1t is quite possible, therefore, that
the change has no direct military
connotation, that his resignation
represents only a further consolida-
tino of power in the hands of Pre-
mier TOTO. For TOTO merely was
regarded rs Z weakling of the cabi-
net rather than 4 bold exponent of
policies disapproved by the military
clique.
Observers studying Togo's record
as Ambassador to Moscow and
Berlin might find a hint of possible
clarification in q statement by Adolf
Hitler yesterday that the greater
part OF the European nations and
also the peoples of the Far East
have joined the National Socialists
IN an alliance of loyalty which will
prevent our countries from becom-
ing the prey of Bolshevik bar

capitalistic exploitation"
A Japanese attack on Russia
would be the obvious fulf1llment OF
such role for Japan.
