CRISIS FOR HITLER
They predicted fierce suffering

grow in weight, pounding industrial
cities where civilian homes and
stocks of civilian goods are bound

Threefold hardShips shortages

will be obliged to restore produc-

pointed out.

with increasing Soviet pressure for
second front aid and Chinese spec
ulation that Japan may seize the
opportunity to attack Siberia.
Usually reliable sources received
reports in Chungking that Japan
has dispatched a battleship flotilla
to the Solomons and may decide to
risk a major naval battle with
United States forces in the south
Pacific.
These unconfirmed reports said
four Of Japan's six available dread
naughts have been assigned to the
battle in the south Pacific where
the Japanese are attempting to
recapture American positions in the
Solomons.
Authentic reports that Emperor
Hirohito conferred with Premier
Hideki Tojos war cabinet on highly
important issues caused reliable
Chinese quarters to suggest again
Thursday that Japanese assault
on Siberia was impending.
Many military men here contend
ed. however, that Japan will not
attack Siberia until favorable de-
velopments" in the Solomons are
guaranteed.
FLANS UNCHANGED
| There was no indication that the
urgent and forceful Soviet declar-
ationS of the necessity of Allied in

lax pressure in the east had changed
the secret war plans of Britain and
the United States.
Arrival of Wendell L. Willkie III
Kuibyshev brought the possibility
that the Soviet position might be
re-stated to him. Willkie is in a
position to present to the Russians
the American views on the critical
issue.
The most dangerous Nazi penetra-
