couragement of prolonged effort"
Mr.. Stimson said that Possibly
nave exaggerated it, but it seems
to me that today the press reflects
a growing disposition on the part
of our people to set apart the Army
and the Navy from those in civilian
life
1 believe" he said, that there is
no one among you who does not
realize in the bottom of his heart
that such an attitude of mind, such
an illusion, is all wrong and that
in it lies the only possibility of our
ultimate defeat. That is the con-
dltlon upon which our enemies, still
powerful and still unconquered, are
stalking their chance for victory.
From the very beginning they
have continuously and consistently
preached to their armed forces and
to their people that the United
States was too soft, too self inter-
ested, too divided to wage war on
the gigantic scale which they would
force upon us. They believe it now.
They have staked their future on it.

collapse of Germany in 1919. or
division between ourselves and our
allies-there lies the possibility of
defeat"
If such a crisis should occur, he
said, Il do not presume to place
the responsibility. History will have
to do that"
Mr.. Stimson urged the editors, 'ir

forces in the Pacific try consistently
in carrying out raids, to have more

said, 10y moving the floating air

FOURTEENTH UNITED STATES
AIR FORCE HEADQUARTERS,
China, April 10 Delayed. - Capt.
Robert B. Hotz, former Milwaukee
newspaperman who had never flown
anything but tiny Piper Cub, saved
a B-25 Mitchell bomber's crew and
himself recently when he took over
after the pilot was wounded.
Capt. Hotz, headquarters ground
officer, had gone along on the raid
as an observer and to take photo
graphs.
The Mitchell had loosed her
bombs from low level on a railway
bridge when she suddenly staggered
from ack-ack hits.
just as Capt. Hotz realized that
a pilots hatch cover which came
hurting back past him was a part
of his own bomber, he heard q
voice on the intercom phone:
Come to the cockpit at once"
1t was the navigator, 1t. Laurence
Thayer of Tennessee, who had
noticed Capt. Hotz' leather flying
jacket and had concluded he was
flyer.

he said, they can hide in the storm
area to avoid counterattacks.
The admiral revealed that eve
haven't been able to find japanese
carrier since November of 1912" He
said, however, that American naval
strategists are aware that the jap
anese still have carriers and that
the Navy hopes to meet some of
them soon.
Jap Planes Still Inferior.
japanese fighter planes, he said,
are still inferior to those flown by
Americans, but he admitted they are
getting better. The enemy in the
Pacific, he pointed out, still has no
plane in the air that can't be
knocked down by we'll placed shot.
A new fighter plane. better than
anything the Japs have ever put
in the air before, has been en-
countered in the Pacific, Admiral
Radford said. If planes of this type
are produced in quantity, he warned,
they will give American pilots some
trouble, but he assured his listeners
that our flyers will meet the
situation.
Gen. Kuter, who recently toured
the fighting theaters, pointed out
that large segments of the Japa-
nese army might remain uncon-
quered, even If we invaded and
subdued the homeland. These forces,
he said, might take refuge in the
vast land masses of Asia and the
Netherlands East Indies and pro-
woke another war in 20 years un-
less they are, thoroughly uprooted.
Gen. Kuter said that the num-
Der of islands which the japanese
still hold in the Pacific cannot be
regarded as criterion of Allied
progress in this theater. Only a
small proportion of these islands
and atolls are useful as military
bases, he said, and those which
are not can be almost entirely
disregarded.
Jap Plans Upset.
iTm TN brief" he said, eve are clean
ling up the Pacific in accordance
with our short-term concept and
not in accordance with the Jap's
Iiong-term plan"
re- Gen. Kuter said the supply route
by air over Burma to China was
being improved ito the limits of
American ingenuity" Although
these measures will not provide
large-scale supply, he said, the des-
perate effort of the Japs in Western
Burma to reach point where they
can interrupt the supply line indi-
cate the Importance which the en-
emy attaches to it.
Admiral Low said that the Ger
mans now are losing more than an
average of one U-boat for every
Allied merchant ship they sink.
How long Hitler can keep up this
suicidal type of Warfave--only Hit
ler seems to know" he said.
He admitted that the Nazis NAV be
holding large numbers of sub
marines in reserve to be used "in

OUTHEAST ASIA HEAD
QUARTERS, HANDY, Ceylon, April
American warships-
including sizeable force of deadly
|carriers-were disclosed today to be
operating in the Indian Ocean and
to have teamed up with other Allied
naval units in the blow that caught
the japanese off guard at Sumatra
|early Wednesday.
tAmerican pilots outnumbered
the British two to one in the Su-
matra attack, which left huge
fires burning in the inner harbor
at Sabang, according to Associ-
ated Press Correspondent Eu-
gene Burns, who was aboard an
American carrier during the
raidD
The first formidable assault
against the japanese from the di-
rection of Ceylon, headquarters an
|nounced, was delivered by planes
launched by British and American
carriers protected by British and
French battleships and lighter units
of the United States, British and
Dutch navies.
Diversionary Raid Made.
Installations at Sabang. on the
island of We, off the northern tip
of Sumatra, and at Lhong airfield
on Sumatra itself were smashed.
The attack was preceded by a di-
versionary raid on Port Blair. in
the Andaman islands 300 miles
northwest of Sumatra, by India
based American Liberator bombers.
The naval f1otilla was dominated
by British tonnage, but 80 per cent
of the air armada was composed of

also went aloft.
while, there was no indication
the American carrier force had
permanently Joined the British
in Southeast Asia waters, it was
presumed that movement of the
force-apparently from the Paci-
flc-was an elaborate operation
that was not designed for this
one attack alone.
(Mr. Burns, who witnessed the
raids from an aircraft carrier,
sailed from Pearl Harbor Janu-
ary 8. One and half months
ago he dropped out of sight, after
covering fleet operations In the

during the Sumatra attack the
76,000th plane landing was made
on his carrier, indicating that
the ship was one of the Ameri-
can Navy's veterans of the
Pacific)
More Attacks Possible.
Success of the attack-which cost
only one plane, whose pilot was
rescued-indicated that coming
