Allies Spike
 Jap Threat At
 Port MOresby

GENERAL MacARTHUR'S HEAD QUARTERS AUSTRALIA Green painted Japanese veterans of Ma layan jungle fighting encountered resoIute resistance today from Australian troops braced in the lofty wilderness of New Guinea, 40 airline miles from Port Moresby.
 The probability that an Allied counter attack was in the making tor the enemy who had negotiated the difficult Owen Stanley range was found in the words of General Macarthur, addressed to U. s. troops. He advised the Americans to never let the Japanese attack but to make it a fundamental prin- eiple to attack first whatever their position might be.
 The size of the Japanese force on the south slopes of the mountain, nearing the Allied base, was not disclosed but it was not believed large. Moreover, the foe probably had only light equipment due to the difficulty in transporting tanks and heavy guns through the narrow mountain passes.

 British Move

LONDON-The British announced today that further operations. start ed in Madagascar yesterday morn ing. were continuing satisfactor-
 fly The government announce ment said. after the occupation of Diego Suarez His Maiesty's gov ernment had hoped that the Gov ernor General of Madagascar would allow the British command to take such steps as they considered nee- essary in order to deny to the Ak is powers, places and facilities elsewhere on the island"
 The attitude of the Vfchy gov- ernment, whose instructions the Governor General follows, made it clear. however, that their essen tial requirements could not be achieved by peaceful means. They have, therefore. been reluctantly compelled to undertake further mil- itary operations in the islands.
 Once a friendly administration has been established and the island is willing to enter into full collab- oration with the United Nations, and thus contribute to the libera- tion of France, His Majesty's gov ernment will extend to Madagas- car all the economic and financial considerations extended to terri tories which have joined the United Nations This will include an early reopening of trade with the United Nations and a guarantee by His Majesty's government of payment of salaries and pensions to all civ- ilian and military employees in Madagascar who continue to serve under the new administration. It was emphasized by Britain that His Majesty's government had no territorial designs on Madagascar. Madagascar. will remain French, it was said.
