riority must be maintained in the
Pacific to assure victory against the
barbarians of Japan" DR.. Herbert
V. Evatt, Australian attorney gen.

Almost every incident of the
Southwest Pacific war tends to
show" he said, that defeats have
come where air superiority has been
lost, and victories have been won
only when the air superiority has
been established.
Air superiority can be attained
and maintained by two things only
superiority of pilots and air crews,
and superiority in numbers and types
OF equipment" the minister said.
He said the war in the Southwest
Pacific has produced two phases
domination of Japan in the air from
January to April last year, followed
by United Nations command of the
air with superior types of planes and
crews from May of last year to jan
uary of this year.
DR.. Evatt, accompanied bv Air
Marshall Richard Williams of the
RAAF and Group Capt. John Sea-
brook, air member OF the New Zea-
