OUTLOOK:
Gloomy NOU

Even though the Allies eventual
victory was little doubted through
out the United States, and though
the country was girding itself ever
faster to make ready for striking
the winning blows, the present news
was gloomy.
Japan's conquest of the East In
dies, if they should take Java, and
it looked as though they might, was
practically complete. Release OF
troops, planes and ships for the final
assault on MacArthur's valiant men
was one eventuality.
More likely was it that the Japs,
once in possession Of the entire In
dies, would slow down their attack
on the Burmese front, let the Philip
pines take care of themselves, and
60 "all-out'' after the east coast Of
Australia.
Competent observers felt that the
Battle for the Indies would logically
be followed by the Battle of Austria
liza, and that the Japs were laying
the groundwork for this battle rath-
er than any other.
Objective, they said, would be the
east coastal plain, and the attack
was envisioned as striking at Cape
York, head of that plain, rather than
at Darwin, which would lead the
Japs right into the Never-Never
Land.
The Jap dream of capturing the
whole continent of Australia, and
thus making it difficult for the West
ern hemisphere to use that logical
hop-off and supply spot for the even
tual counter-offensive against Nip
pom was considered as more likely
thing than for the Japs simply to
move into thickly populated India.

RUSSIANS:
Close Trap

The indomitable Red army, pur-
suing its constant offensive against
the retiring Germans, was closing
its trap in which it claimed a Ger
man army Of 5000 men were hope
lessly surrounded.
The spot was the Staraya Russo
sector, which had been converted
into an important base by the Ger
mans.
Repeated Russian demands for
surrender had been ignored by the
Nazis, who were being methodically
wiped out, in a series of smaller
actions within the circle.
One of the latest German moves
to attempt to break through was
heralded, the Russians said, by the
sending into the territory Of huge
supply and troop transport planes.
Thirty-eight such craft were de-
stroyed in one day, the Reds assert
ed, is in air combats with Stormovik
fighters, and 20 on the ground.
The Russians also said that after
the transports landed and were de-
stroyed, some of the occupants were
taken prisoner. They said they were
new troops which had been in train
ing for the spring offensive.

BAD NEWS:
From Pacific

The warnings given the American
and British public by President
Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill. that more reverses could
be expected in the South Pacific
were borne out when the Japanese,
in the face Of determined naval OPP
position, made three simultaneous
landings on Java.
There were signs, Immediately,
that the fall of this island of 40,OO0,-
600 people was expected, though the
shore garrisons were apparently
ready to put up determined fight.
Admiral Helfrich's combined
Dutch, American, British and Aus
tralian squadrons had sailed out to
meet the invaders, and first reports
were that, though terrifically out
numbered, the defending vessels had
forced the invaders to scatter.
Later news, however, showed that
the Japs had managed to evade the
ring of steel about the island, and
had landed on the east, in the west
and on the north central front OF
the island.
The attack was costly to the jap
anese, as they lost large cruiser
and three destroyers. But they got
ashore, and in force, the landing on
the central portion being described in
Batavia dispatches as extensive. :"
The disturbing news was accom-
panied by word that the American

consulate in Batavia was destroying
its files, preparatory to leaving,
and that newspaper correspondents
and other American civilians had
been told to leave.
It was understood that the British
were giving similar advice to their
nationals. How these non-corn-
batants were to get away was the
question. They had had a hard
enough time getting away from
Singapore.
That the japanese would not con-
quer Java easily was foregone
conclusion, but the very populous
character of the island was going
to make it hard for the defenders.
Once more they were largely num-
bered, as in Malaga, among the
non-combatantS.

p1ished fully their objective.
1t was a pincers movement, Brit
ish style. 1t was combination Of
parachute troops and commands.
The commands rode across the
channel on naval vessels, BACKED
their faces, loaded their arms into
small shallow-draft boats, and
rushed ashore.
At the same time the paratroops,
their faces also BACKED, were shoot
ing across the channel in big bomb
ers. In squads of seven they shot
earthward, their supplies, ammuni-
ton and weapons parachuting at the
same instant from the bomb-racks.
The stations equipment was
smashed, prisoners were taken, and
the two groups now one, dashed
again to the beaches. There they
met determined opposition. There
was sharp fight, the Nazis suffered
heavy casualties and more prison

Just as the boats showed off into
the blackness, headlights Of heavy
German motorized reinforcements
were seen dashing to the spot, too
late.
Air Minister Sir Archibald Sin
clair said this type of offensive
against occupied countries would be
used again and again. Necessary
ingredients were light winds, good
visibility, and moonlight. Not to
mention perfect timing, courage,
and surprise.

ECONOMIC:

There were signs that the farm
bloc, wishing to put through a plan
to place all agricultural products on
no ceiling below parity, was unwill-
ing to put itself in an unpatriotic
light, and wished to confer with
President Roosevelt before taking a
definite stand.
This placating attitude bid fair to
iron out one of the tough economic

COURAGE:
MdcArthur's Men
Continue FOrays

What appeared at the time to be
series of surprise counter-attacks
along the whole Bataan front merely
to harass the enemy and keep him
guessing, had turned out, for those
surprising men of Macarthur, to be
q five-nnile gain, on the average,
along the entire line.
The Japanese advance posts which
were taken were later held against
counter-attacks, and the enemy was
forced to reorganize his front at the
new position.
It had been another successful use
by General Macarthur Of the swift
ness and courage of his troops to
land cleft jab" on the enemy's
"jaw" and hurl him at least tenn
porarily on his heels.
There were many evidences that
the Japanese on Luzon were not
having bed of roses, that expected
supplies and achievements had not
come, and that they were finding
Macarthur not just hard nut to
crack, but a tough one to keep from
cracking them.
OF considerable importance was
the recapture Of Pillar, coastal town,
in the current Macarthur drive.
From Bagac to Pillar was good
highway, and as the new lines in
Bataan were considerably past this
road, the defenders presumably now
had regained its use.
The fighting had remained desul-
tory, the Japs apparently at stand
still, but the American-Filipino
army giving them no quiet in the
front lines. Repeated forays by pa
trolls were keeping the enemy on
constant tenterhooks.
