Japanese in Burma
Face Inch-by-|nch
Push From Allies
Soldiers Being Trained
To Kill Enemy When
Drive Is Launched
BY PRESTON GROVER,


Associated Press Foreign Correspondent.
NEW DELHI, India.-American
and Chinese soldiers may soon join
the British in an inch -by-inch push
against the japanese in Burma, the
country which is the back door to
China.
The Americans and Chinese. to-
gether with British and Indian
troops, are undergoing training in
the tactics that Daniel Boone used
to conquer the wilderness, as we'll as
learning all the lessons of Bataan,
Guadalcanal and New Guinea
The current fighting in Burma
and the nature of training being
given troops in India both indicate
that the reconquest of Burma may
be undertaken on an inch-by- inch
basis rather than waiting for the
end OF the monsoon next fall to
launch an all out drive.
1t had been believed that Allied
plans envisaged a full-scale attack
on Burma from the sea. But the
recent destruction of the japanese
convoy in the Bismarck Sea-with
It's reiteration of the by-now we'll
known fact that ships dare not move
into waters controlled by enemy air
planes-may have brought about a
change in the strategy of the high
command.
MonsOOns Threaten.
If that is the case, it would mean
that the Allies will concentrate on
an overland attack from India.
But the season of hot weather has
arrived and the monsoons are only
As days away in some sections OF
Burma. That means that no large
scale attack against Burma can be
undertaken before early fall, and
that dreams of reopening the Burma
Road and pouring men and supplies
into China over that route will re-
main dreams for months to come.
The current general picture in
Burma is this: The Japs hold vir-
tually every inch of the country.
The southern half of Burma is be-
yond the reach of any Allied forces
at the present time.
The northern half is split by
four rivers running from north to
south. OF these, the easternmost
is the Mekong, where a body of
Chinese troops are still holding on
precariously despite an attack sew
eral weeks ago by Thai and Japa-
nese troops.
West of the Mekong River is the
Salween, across which Chinese and
japanese are now scuff1ing back and
forth on a small scale with the
japanese pushing gradually north

ince of China.
