US. Carrier,
 Sub Lost In
 SO.PaCifiC
By Associated Press

WASHINGTON-The sinking of a United States escort carrier in the Gilbert Islands area and probable loss of the famed submarine Wahoo somewhere in the Pacific were an nouneed by the Navy Department However. fresh Allied blows against Japans already hard hit shipping were reported by Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur
 In the Southwest Pacific Mac Arthurs bombers hit a ten thousand ton transport off New Ireland which sank after its load or troops had abandoned it. The bombers, attack ing conveys in an area which IS close to Japan's key position at Ra- baul, also set a large tanker aflame and scored direct hits on two enemy acstroyers.
 The escort carrier Liscome Bay went down from Japanese submar- inc torpedo November 24. It was the first of it's kind lost by the U. s. and the first of any type to be sunk since the carrier Hornet went down more than year ago.
 The Wahoo, commanded by Com mander Dudley Walker Morton, of Miami, Fla, and with valiant he- cord of undersea fighting which had won for it the Presidential Unit citation, was reported overdue and presumably lost.
 These American losses were small in coE.yuiison to the pounding the ,sapanese Navy has been taking in me last % days November was it's DIa Rest month oi the war. Four crul CTS, 15 destroyers and two cor yettes ,.sre sunk in the oJuthWest Pacific during November.
 In China, too, the Japs were hay ing their troubles. Chinese troops with American air support, were ap- parently closing in on an enemy force in northern Human, China s rice bowl. In Washington Secretary of War SIimson said the Japs might expect their troubles to grow. He predicted an accelerated offensive in the Pacific. He warned the Ameri- can public, however, that the re- conquest of the territory seized by the Japs would be a long and costly process.

WANTS TO EXCHANGE
 U. S. AND JAP NATIONALS

SACRAMENTO - A suggestion that the United States government make an exchange of the Tule Lake relocation camp Japs for American nationals held by Japan, was reject ed today by Governor Warren as chairman of the State War Council A resolution petitioning Secretary of State Hull to start negotiations for the exchange was introduced to the Council. Governor Warren declared. however, that in his opinion the subject was outside the jurisdiction or the state or government and such a proposal might be embarrassing to the federal government because of international regulations on the ex- change of nationals and prisoners of war.

Cairo Conference
By Associated Press

The United States and Britain as- sured President Chiang Kai Shek that the Burma road would be re- opened in order to handle sufficient supplies to coastal ports for the main assault against Japan, it was learned today.
 Indications were more definite, that the main decision of the U. s., Britain and China at the ABC con- ftrence was to mount a crushing all out assault against Germany be tore throwing full power against the Japanese.
 There was reason for belief that the Allied Command decided troops trained for the European assault could not be spared for a full scale Far Eastern campaign until Ger many surrenders internationally.

WASHINGTON- The Cairo con- ference is believed to have agreed on a high strategy against Japan which provides in its present phase for recapturing the Philippines and opening a sea route to China. Over this route the U. S. and Britain principally must arrange to ship more than one million tons of sup plies a month if they are to main tain and operate minimum offen- sive force as much as 100000 men and that would allow an air force of only 200 bombers and 400 fight CTS. Every multiple of these forces would require, roughly, another mil lion tons of shipping a month to cover the thousands of miles to China.
 Developing his theme at his press conference Secretary of War Stimson, obviously having in mind the Cairo meeting, said he looked for an acc alerated offensive against Japan but warned that the recon quest of enemy-held territory would be long and expensive. One well in formed officer says it will take at least Is months to smash Japan a:- ter Germany is defeated and others speculate on two years.

CHANG HOME FROM
 CAIRO CONFERENCE

CHUNGKING- China welcomed Generalizsimo Chiang Kia Shek home from the Cairo conference with rejoicing over he three-power pledge to crush Japan and restore all of China's territory lost in half cen tury of struggle against Japan. Through a mixup in the release of news, the Chinese people who were to be the chief beneficiaries of the Cairo declaration were not officially informed of it's contents until ap- proximately 12 hours after it had been broadcast all around the world and until long after the Generalis- simo and his party had returned from the con1eraRce. But once the news was known, 1t was hailed ev- erywhere as a great diplomatic and political triumph for China that would establish the country's posi- tion as a major world power.
 Besides reconquest of tthe Philip pines, the Cairo conference decision will strip Japan of all her present Pacific island, Korea, Manchuria and reduce her boundaries to where they were in 1856 when first visited by Perry.
