 London, Aug. 30 Anyone who saw the movie, Tn Which We Serve, needs little introduction to Lord Louis Mountbat'an. The picture not only is a faithful recounting of his war exploits, but also. say those who know him well. an accurate DOT trayal of his character.
 It is not surprising that a man of his caliber should be immense ly popular both with the armed forces and the folks at home. Ob- servers here consider 1t nothing short of genius on the part of Allied chiefs that such a man was chosen to head the Allied South east Asia Command. They feel his personal popularity will prove a real military asset in selling to the war-weary British publis the importance of war against Japan which from here seems so very far away.
 TO SEA AT IA
 "Dickie" Mountbatten was born to the sea, and the sea always has been his great love. His father, Prince Louis of Battenberg, was Britain's First Sea Lord in 1914, but was forced to resign due to public distrust of his German origin. Lord Louis perhaps is conscious of his German parent age, and is glad to be playing so active an anti-Nazi role. He is also conscious of his relationship (second cousin to the British King. He makes no bones about this relation ship-always, for example, inviting the King to inspect the ship he commands. On the other hand, in view of this kinship, he always has worked doubly hard to avoid charges of nepotism.
 He first went to sea when IA, and saw active service aboard the flagship Lion in 1916. The outstand- ing aspect of his naval career be- tween the vars was a tour of in structor's duty at the Royal Navy Signals School. He has a scientific mind and several inventions to his credit-notable among which is a station keeping" device which now is standard equipment on His Ma jesty's ships.
 HEADED COMMANDOS
 Mountbatten's role in the pres ent war started as commanding officer of destroyer flotilla. Twice he brought his flagship Kelly home despite heavy dam age-once after hitting a mine in 1889, once after torpedoing in 1940. The story is told that after the second attack on the Kelly, the senior officer of nearby British ship signaled in, Prepare to abandon ship. Intend to sink you." Mountbatten signaled in

India's counter-propaganda bu- reau meanwhile repeatedly was broadcasting the same direct state ment to the Burmese.
 Former British and Burmese ad- ministrators in Burma, laboring on reconstruction plans in this peace time summer capital fIEdia, have warned military authorities that on the success or failure of this point being made clear to the Burmese hinged Allied hopes for Burmese CO., operation.
 Ruled By Military
 These administrators, including Burma's governor, Sir Reginald Dor man-Smith, told me that Burma, like Sicily, would be ruled by a mil litary governor, probably the opera tional commander, during the early stages of Allied occupation. Former British and Burmese civil servants will resume their duties under this governor.
 Thereafter, when the Japanese have been driven completely out of the country, the former British controlled ministerial government presumably will be reintroduced. British authority in Burma, while less rigid than in India, at the out break of the Pacific war still carried with 1t definite power over finance and foreign affairs, gave the gover- nor restricted veto powers and was reinforced by British officials in the most important civil service posts.
 U Tin Tut, prominent Burmese nationalist and dean of Burmese civil servants, who is now working on reconstruction problems, told me:
 Must Have Program
 Unless the Burmese people know we have a definite program for their welfare, I am doubtful of our well come there" Tut said the Burmese must be told the Allies were returning: Firstly, to check the Japanese; secondly, to reconstruct the country; thirdly, to grant dominion status at the end of a stated period.
 Most administrators here, many of whom have spent dozen or more years in Burma. believed most Bur- mese would welcome an Allied cam paign and the return of the British if only to cure severe pains develop ing there under the Japanese. 90 Per Cent Want British Burma's Inspector General of Po- lice, R. G. s. Prescott, said he be- lieved 90 per cent of the Burmese desired the return of British rule for security, if nothing more. He said reports showed only "riff-raff" who had found Japanese occupation an opportunity for footing and a few corrupt politicians, in all only a few hundred, would be sorry to see the Japanese forced out.
 Many administrators disagreed with It. Gen. Sir Harold R. G. Alex anders statement after his retreat from Burma that 10 per cent of the Burmese were actively pro-Japanese They said many Burmese may have been forced by the Japanese to CO., operate, but only few were Jap anese Sympathizers.
 However. another informed source estimated that 50 per cent, uncom- fortable under Japanese occupation
