port coming through the Strait OF
Malacca to the ports Of Rangoon
and Moulmein.
1t was to give air protection to
this sea lane that the japanese oc-
cupied' the Andaman Islands which
cover the approaches to the Burmese
ports from the Bay of Bengal. How
ever, the Japanese air force is now
under heavy strain in the South
west Pacific and there is some ques-
ton as to whether japanese reserves
OF air power and their limited pro-
ductlon of planes can endure the
additional strain of a simultaneous
major campaign in the Bay of Ben
gal and Burma.
Jap Naval Losses Heavy.
AS for naval protection to this
vital japanese sea lane. there seems
little reason to suppose that the
Japanese can produce an adequate
naval concentration for this purpose
In the Bay of Bengal without seri-
ously endangering their interests in
the Pacific. Their naval losses have
been so heavy that it is hard indeed
to see how they can hope to offer
effective opposition to the strong
British fleet now concentrated in
the Indian Ocean-a feet which,
according to recent dispatches, has
been reinforced by three battleships
and a carrier. Based on Ceylon, the
British fleet should be able to domi-
nate the whole of the Bay of Bengal
against anything the japanese can
afford to send into those distant
waters.
There exists, however, some doubt
as to whether Gen. Wavell possesses
sufficient land and air forces to
make the reconquest of Burma a
practical enterprise at the present
time. The Indian army probably
has mobile force of about eight
divisions which could be used for

President, Gen. Hines
Send YuIe MESSAGES
To Disabled Veterans
Christmas Greetings
Reuffirm Gratitude
Felt by Nation

Christmas greetings from Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Brig. Gen
Frank T. Hines, administrator OF
veterans affairs, have been sent to
all disabled veterans, it was an
nounced yesterday.
The Presidents message said:
AT this holiday season. despite
the fact that our country is involved
IN the most devastating and dan
gercus war ever known to man, I
hope you may be cheered and
heartened by an abiding faith in
the rightness of our cause and the
strength and devotion of our armed
forces and those of our Allies OF the
United Nations.
You who have bravely served and
suffered in that service hold now as
always, the enduring gratitude of
the Nation whose honor and free
dom you fought to maintain. To
you, and to all our veterans, I send
heartfelt greetings for Christmas. an
earnest prayer for your welfare and
for a happier New Year
Gen. Hines said: I'm sending you
my Christmas message this year
hope that for a time at least you
may forget the actuality of the war
in remembrance of happier years
and in the realization that there will

an invasion Of Burma. These troops
are well trained, armed and equipped
except for . shortage of tanks and
probably of anti-aircraft artillery.
There are in addition contingents
OF American and Chinese troops of
uncertain strength available in
India.
Since the virtual destruction Of
Field Marshal Erwin Rommel's
army in Egypt. it may have been
possible to reinforce India from
the British 9th and 9th Armies and
from Gen. Sir Henry Maitland
Wilson's 10th Army in Iran and
Iraq. With the Rommel threat re-
moved, the situation in all this area
would be much easier. Indeed, just
about enough time has elapsed for
reinforcements from the Middle
East to have reached India.
Sea Power Emphasized.
The same consideration applies to
Gen. Wavells airpoWer. While air.
power is still vitality important in
the Mediterrean area it may now
be possible to divert from India
some of the requirements and re-
Inducements originally destined for
the Middle East. If 1t is con-
sidered that there is a real pos
sibility of recovering Burma. this
enterprise may now be gaining in
priority status and certainly would
stand very high on the successful
completion of the operations in
Africa.
Thus 1t may we'll be that Gen.
Wavell's thrust toward Akyab is
the beginning of a campaign whose
more decisive features will develop
as the need for Allied power in
Africa diminishes, and complete VIC
tory in Africa may be the signal for
a new and vigorous campaign in
Southeastern Asia
What we are seeing is lesson in
the tremendous value of sea power
and the offensive mobility which it
confers on its possessors. Military
strength emanating from the con-
tinent of North America and the
British Isles has been hurled In sue
cession against an enemy force in
Egypt, against another in Tunisia.
and now against a third in Burma
This IS what it means to command
the sea.

the recovery of Burma would be
very great. both from the military
and political point of view, and
would justify the assumption of
heavy risks If Gen. Sir Archibald P.
Wavell has the necessary forces and
equipment available. 1t would be
the first serious setback the Japa-
nese have received in that part of
Asia, and would do much to restore
Indian morale and to check the
wave OF defeatism which was so
largely responsible for the failure
OF the Cripps proposals.
1t would open the way toward an
eventual recovery of Malaya and
Sumatra and toward an Allied
thrust into Thailand and Indo-
China. 1t would compel the Japa-
nese to divert important forces to
southeastern Asia and would put
a heavy additional strain on their
already over-taXed merchant ma
y1ne.
Burma Road Involved.
But above all, it would permit the
IeOpenlng OF tne famous Burma
Road and give us once more a direct
line OF land communications with
our Chinese allies. This would en-
able us to make far greater use of
those Chinese mainland bases, which
are our best springboards for air
attacks against the japanese main
islands.
The japanese probably have five
or six divisions in Burma and one or
two divisions each in Malaya.
