The presence OF Wayell. Admiral

Tlchard Pcirsc, commandcr-in chief
of British Air Forces In India,
aroused some curiosity here as to
why Gen. Dougla sMacArthur, the
supreme commander Of Allied forces
in the southwest Pacific was not
here for the war talks.
Thus far In the conferences no
announcement has been made on
the American armed service chiefs
who are In consultation with the
British staff chief II generally was
accepted, however, that the Amer
lean conferees include Gen. George
G. Marshall, army chief OF staff;

BURMA DRIVE

increasing belief here that these
blows would be struck In the very
near future, especially IN the Aleu-
tianS.
The signs pointed to Burma as the
scene Of the first major land opera
ton against Japan because 1t Is the
logical way TO open up the route TO
China ard then get at the japanese
homeland. Such campaign how
ever, could not be started before fall
because the summer moDsOonS with
their torrential rains have begun
and 1t would be difficult TO get
mechanical transport through the
mushy jungles during the summer.
AS the president and Churchill
worked In almost constant confer
ence at the White House, American
ard British sources here agreed
generally that Japan Is the point OF
emphasis In the present talks and
that now Is the time TO plan for a
Burma offensive, because 1t takes
about six months TO efiectuate
plans for big military operations.
The fact that London dispatches
continued 10 emphasize the coming
European offensiyes as the major
point Of discussion was explained
here as rejecting the pre-occupa-
ton Of people In the British Isles
with battles in their own arena.
The belief that Mr.. Roosevelt and
Churchill were looking six months
ahead to strong push through
Burma made sense TO number OF
military experts here. In the three
previous meetings between Mr.. Roos-
evelt and Churchill since the United
States entered the war, their talks,
while being global in scope, had a
point Of emphasis which usually be-
came known only when the decisions
were actiVated-such as the Novem-
Der invasion of North Africa which
was decided last June.
In plotting the defeat Of Japan,
Mr.. Roosevelt, Churchill and their
military advisers we're up against a

SWORN ENEMIES OF FOREFATHERS' NATION,
PICKED GROUP OF NISEI ENTERS US FOR TRAINING
X Y \
X X X
BY BETTY MACDONALD
NEA staff Correspondent

Washington, May 13-Unusual Sc
crecy shrouded the arrival OF a
heavily loaded troop convoy from
Hawaii this month.
Crowding the decks were $500 SOL
diers, silently watching the outline
OF America loom out Of the fog.
Ninety percent OF these men never
had seen the land they'd pledged
their lives to defend. They were
Japanese Americans.
The story OF the convoy trip
across $500 miles OF water, and Of
secret train clnbarkations TO their
training camp at Fort Shelby, Miss,
was described by a young officer
who accompanied the Japanese AM
erican soldiers from Honolulu. He
is Capt. Ainsley Mahikoa, recent
visitor In Washington, and q firm
believer In the loyalty OF the Nisei.
THE boys were all volunteers,
from cane fields, schools, defense
Jobs. They were selected from over
5000 Japanese men who signed up"
Capt. Mahikoa said
"They weren't very good sailors
most OF them were Seasick-but they
turned out TO be excellent soldiers.
They obey commands without ques-
ton; they drill without complaint;
their minds seem TO slip automa-
ically into military patterns Of nv-
Ing"
HAD MONEY AT FIRST
On the trip across, Capt. Mahi-
koa recalled that many Of the buck
privates were loaded with money
earned at lucrative defense Jobs at
Pearl Harbor and other military
areas. Their crap games often net
ted 81 500 pots. They tipped lavish
ly. Once, aboard troop train, they
threw coins down on the heads OF
passersby.
On arrival In port Capt. Mahikoa
was unable 10 phone his wife, from
whom he'd been separated for three
years. She lived only four blocks
away. Secrecy was essential, and
the Japanese Americans carried
their duffle bags from boat TO train
under cover OF darkness He said:
They weren't allowed off the
train. We were afraid OF what
