can-Australian forces which so
far have been able to hold the
Japanese back from Port Moresby.
The Allied high command has
only limited knowledge of the
actual strength of the japanese
force in the New Guinea area.
1t is believed, however, that the
Japs will make serious effort to
land an army sufficiently strong
to permit them to conduct
large-scale offensive.
Gen. Douglas Macarthur is said
to have sufficient force to stop
the enemy for the present. But
the wear and tear on any troops

is great and even if the losses
from fighting are not heavy
malaria and other tropical dis
eases are expected to take
heavy toll.
requirements Needed.
Hence, what Gen. Macarthur
needs most as far as ground
troops are concerned is replace
Eents and reserves to throw into
New Guinea in the event the
Japanese succeed in landing
fresh units.
Official statements indicate
that reinforcements have been
sent to Gen. Macarthur recently.
The whole question is whether a
sufficient number of men have
been ordered across the Pacific
to meet the impending japanese
onslaught. The American avia-
ton still is strong enough to de-
fend the threatened territory.
But the renewed effort of the
Japs is going to cause us losses
which will have to be replaced at
once.
Many experienced pilots are
available in Australia. The Aus
tralians have managed to build
up a large and capable aviation
personnel which can be used i'm
mediately if the necessary planes
are rushed from the United
States.
The japanese are believed to
have greatly increased the size of
their force. 1t is difficult, of
course, to say what is happening

Senator, supporter of the Ad-
ministration, was chairman of a
subcommittee which last summer
visited Alaska and the AleutianS.
A full Senate listened to his re-
marks with great attention. Re-
cent reports of strong japanese
concentrations in the South Pa
ciflc, plus Gen. MacArthurs plea
for greater air strength and news
that the japanese were persist
ing successfully in developing air
bases on Kiska and Attu, despite
American bombings, gave point
to what Senator Chandler said.
The Kentucky Senator's warn
ing, however, was met by state
ment from his colleague, Sena-
tor Barkley, Democratic leader
of the Upper House. that the war
cannot be won by strategists in
the halls of Congress. Senator
Barkley further declared that
all commanders in every area of
the war were demanding more
supplies and men-including Gen.
Macarthur. He was willing. he
said, to leave strategy decisions
to the generals.
Criticized OFF Floor.
The attitude of the Democratic
leader ard other administrations
lists in the Senate was that the
speech of Senator Chandler was
unfortunate. Some of them went
so far. in conversation off the
floor to say the speech was an
attack on the conduct of the
war by the Administration. One
characterized the speech as "a
Republican speech"
On the contrary, the speech was
a good Democratic speech. Moth
ing could be more harmful to the
administration than a serious re-
verse in the Pacific area. The
country has been told again and
again that the strategy in this
war is to defeat Hitler and Mus
solini first, and then turn the
full strength of the United States
and Britain on Japan. In the
meantime. the Allied forces are
to hold off the japanese.
There has been an increasing
feeling in this country, however,
that not enough support is being
sent to the commanders in the
Pacific. Secretary of War Slim
son, only two days ago, took cog
nizance of this feeling. He an
nounced that reinforcements are
being sent to Gen. Macarthur.
Nation Put on Notice.
This is not war to be fought
along political lines, Democratic
or Republican, Gen. Macarthur
and Admiral Halsey, with the
forces at their command, have
