{ THE FULL MENACE Of Ia
pans offensive concentrations
north Of Australia was. driven
home by Gen. MacArthur's dis
closure that a gigantic enemy
combat fleet rides ready for
action only three days sailing
time f,om Allied defense posi-
tions on the island Of New
Guinea.
While Allied onSlauehts in the
European and North African
theaters continued. = spokesman
for Gen. Macarthur took DC
casion 10 warn again ot the
grave danger lurking IN the
Pacific.
Secretary Of The Navy Knox
had expressed his firm convic-
ton that the naval situation IN
Australian waters was SatiSfac-
tory. He had deprecated the
possibility Of Japanese in
vasion Of Australia on the
grounds the enemy had not as
srnhled sufficient shipping 10
make such an attempt feasible.
tBUT DISPATCHES from
United Nations headquarters in
Australia took a sharply diver
gent line.
Actually, the spokesman said,
there are immense eoncentra-
tons OF warshipS. supply vessels
and transports in the area OF
Truk. one OF the Caroline Islands
in the Pacific directly north OF
New Guinea.
The harbors Of New Britain
Island also bristle with enemy
ships. As many as 100 Japanese
craft have been sighted al a
single time in the waters OF
Esbaul
Time and again these conccn-
.frationS have been attacked by
American bomberS under the
command Of II. Gen. Kenney,
who now has gone 10 New
Guinea 10 supervise defense
against recently stepped = up
Japanese activity. But the
enemy apparently is able to re-
place losses with little diff
Guilty and there is yet no appre-
ciable diminution Of japanese
fighting strength.
= ONE FACTOR alone is saw
ing the situation. Gen. MacAr-
thurs spokesman said, and that
is American air superiority
We're the japanese able to over
come this. he said they could
throw four divisions OF troops
into New Guinea in three days
and undo all the magnificent
work achieved by the blood and
toll of American filters, soldiers
and marines.
: The statement went a long
way toward clarifying MacAr-
thurs repeated requests for
augmentation of the air power
now at his command. II en-
phasized that the Japanese pos
ssess one of the most valuable
attributes in modern warfare,
fleXibility.
II was leXihility. which in cS-
.sence means ready access to
well-supplied bases. that made
possible the British Eighth
.ArmyS victories in Africa. It
was flexibility that made Hit
1er's armies great in their early
days of combat.
