It is very necessary for MIR.
Churchill and Mr.. Roosevelt to
make it plain and convincing that
they are seeking a general agree
ment with Stain. But we shall
be astonished and disappointed at
the delay only if we fail to realize
how great are the issues which
need to be settled before gen.
uine agreement is reached.
The reason for making these
public appeals to Stain is that We
have not only to expunge from
our own minds the effects of Com
munist intrigue, but also to ex-
punge from his mind the suspi-
c1ons implanted by Western dip
lomacy after 1918: the exclusion
of Russia from the Versailles set.
tlement, the Allied military inter-
vention in the Russian civil war,
the erection of the anti-Russian
line of buffer states in 1919, the
exclusion of Russia from the Mu-
mich settlement, and many other
actions which the Russians have
regarded as signs of an inveterate
hostility by the Western nations.

Sept. A. Up Three japanese
transports in a convoy have been
sunk by Allied bombers near We

today.
An enemy destroyer and a fourth
transport were set afire.

maua, is the sector where more
than $50 Japanese planes were de-

down.
The Japanese used balloon
barrage in futile attempt to
halt the attack on the convoy of
seven ships.
This was the first mention in
months of japanese conveys in
the vicinity of northern New GUM
ca where the enemy has relied
almost entirely recently on barges
for supply and reinforcement.
At Salamaua, headquarters said
[.here was little change in ground
positions, but that the Japanese
had suffered heavy losses in fight
ing south of the airdrome.
Last definite reports on positions
placed the Americans and Aus
tralians in control of the south
bank of the Francisco river ex-
cept along the coast where it emp
ties into Bayern bay. The river,
which has been crossed inland to
the north bank by the Australians,
flows just before the airdrome.
Fighting there has ragged as near
as the southwestern edge of the
field.
The convoy, consisting of five
transports and two destroyers,
were attacked in the WeWak har-
Dor where they had arrived with
reinforcements and supplies f o r

the attack.

1t is better to recognize this

not to fall into feverish anxiety
