 Mir. Abend decried optimism about an early end to the war and named lo47 as the most likely date for the defeat of Japan.

Abend said that after the state- ment of the Atlantic Charter, Am bassador Nomura told him there would be war within four months. This he repeated to Secretary of State Cordell Hull, he said.

 Squatting on the deck, amidships, an American bluejacket and Kiwi are explaining homeland geography for their mutual benefit. The Kiwi | is showing the sailor, with gestures, how far New Zealand is from Aus tralia.
