Knox Says KuriIes
will Be Invaded, but
No One Knows When
Reports Jops Are Losing
6 to 10 Borees q Day
In MurshuIIs Area

Invasion of a part of the Jap
anese Kurile Islands may be ex-
pected, Secretary of the Navy
Knox said today.
Asked at a news conference
whether it was likely that the
United States would attempt to take
that island group in the North Pa
cif1c, he replied, Sometime, sure,
but nobody knows when"
The discussion was prompted by
the increasing regularity of Ameri-
can bombing raids on islands in the
chain which extends from the jap
anese mainland north to the Rus
sian Kamchatka Peninsula.
Among the bases which have been
struck frequently there, particularly
in the last five days, Is Matsuwa
less than 500 miles from the main
land of Japan. Other bases fire.
quently bombed are Chimusu, Para
mushiro, northernmost of the group
and Onekotan.
Mr. Knox, discussing the war in
the Pacific, said the developments
have been confined to bombardment
OF the Kuriles and continuing aerial
assaults on enemy positions cut of
from supplies in the eastern Mar
shalls and the regular bombings OF
the enemy bases in the Caroline
Island group, including Truk and
Ponape.
He said the Japanese, evidently
were trying their best to get some
supplies" into the isolated bases in
the eastern part of the mid-Pacific
Marshalls, but without much sue
cess" From six to 10 barges day
are being sunk as they attempt to
run supplies into the bases" the
secretary said.

Reiterates
Hope for Ideals Of
League Of Nations
Matters to Be Decided
Only at End Of War,
Commons Is Told
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, April 18. Prime
Minister Churchill, speaking in
answer to several questions con-
corning current and recent con-
ferences toward postwar agree
ments, told the Hoxse of Com
mons today that "the great body
of work achieved by the League
of Nations" ought not be lost in
the postwar international peace
setup.
Il think if the league of Nations
had been properly backed up it
would have been successful" he said,
adding:
preliminary exchanges of opinion
on postwar questions are constantly
taking place between various mem
bers OF the "a United Nations, but
cannot hold out the expectation
that any agreed statement on the
subject will be made in the near
future"
Capt. Frederick John Bellenger
asked the Prime Minister whether
the plans for organizing and main
tanning peace which Secretary of
State Hull, in Washington, men
toned recently conf1icted with the
covenant of the League of Nations.
Lauds Hulls Speech.
II thought, as a great many people
did, that Mr.. Hull's speech was most
helpful" Mr.. Churchill replied.
The Prime Minister said these
matters would "be decided only at
the end of the war;, but reiterated
his comment of more than a year
ago that so far as the British view
| is concerned, the great body of work
achieved by the League of Nations
and embodied in it ought not be
lost"
Asked about the recent London
rltish-American talks on postwar
civil air transport, Mr.. Churchill
SAID the meetings were purely "in-
formal and exploratory"
Preliminary Accord.
They were held for the primary
purpose Of exchange of views on the
desirability of holding an interna-
tional conference and the form of
cooperation which each country
would advocate on such an occa-
sion," he said
L am glad to say that sufficient
agreement was reached for both
countries to support the holding of a
conference in expectation that final
decisions then can be reached. Con-
cessions were made both by the
United Kingdom and the United
States and they related only to a
basis on which discussions can be
launched at an international con-
ference"
He expressed hope this conference
would be held this wear.
