Howard Brooks

For over half a century Howard
Brooks was police reporter for The
Star. Stationed at police head
quarters and in the early days COW
ering the news of crime wherever it
took him, he spent his working hours
IN close association with the seam
lest side of life and he knew from
personal observation how sordid
that side of life may be. But as a
man it never touched him.
One of the attributes for which he
was respected was faculty for de-
tachment which left unspoiled his
own sweetness of character and the
clean integrity of a personal life
devoted largely to unself1sh acts of
thought and kindliness for his fel-
low men. He was loved for what he
was himself-a Christian gentleman,

possible that larger and speedier inva-
sion craft will be ready in the future.
But for the time being this still remains
in the realm Of probabilities. From the
newly-acquired naval and air bases in
the South and Central Pacific 1t will be
possible for the American feet and
aviation to blast the PHILIPPINES, Bor-
neo and Formosa installations.
The transfer of a large portion Of
Japanese heavy industry to Manchuria
and Northern China and the haste with
which the Tokyo government Is trying
to complete . new network Of railways
In China proper shows that the Japa-
nese high command believes air attacks
against japanese soil are more than
probable.
But until the Allied war in Europe
comes to definite conclusion, the Japa-
nese high command does not mean to
worry particularly about American
forces tackling the inner ring Of Japa.
nese defenses. This arc extends from
Java through the Philippines to the
northern tip Of Japan itself. Heavy
fortifcations have been established
there and are now being perfected.
4 \
The main danger to Japanese de-
lenses, as II appears from what Der
colates through from Tokyo, would be
the establishment Of important Allied
air and military bases in China. Under
such conditions Japan would risk
pincers movement in 1945 or 1916 and
would have only scant chances of sur
viving. In order to offset this possibility
the japanese high command has or
dered the offensive against China with
the view of knocking that country out
OF the war this year.
The offensive up the Yellow River Is
IN fun swing now. An offensive north
OF the Yangtze River is reported to be
planned. The campaign in Manipur
Province in India also is part of the
Japanese strategy to get China out of
the war before the Allies can direct their
main forces in strong offensive against
Japan from the east and from the
west.
The loss Of New Guinea and other is
lands forming Japan's outer ring of
defense is a heavy blow to her prestige
and serious threat to her sea COM
munications. But Tokyo is reported to
consider these operations only as pre-
nminar1es which do not seriously threat
en- the japanese Empire.

New Pacific Moves
By Maj. George FIELDING Eliot

The war is not going we'll for the
Japanese in their more distant areas of
operations, which suggests rather
strongly that Japan Is no longer able to
exert great effort at long distances from
her centers Of power. The reason for
this, of course, Is Japan's heavy losses of
shipping and the gradual waning of
Japanese air power.
On the India-Burma frontier the re-
lief of Kohima has been fully accom-
plished and the threat to the Assam
Bengal railway seems to be at an end.
There are increasing hints that the ex-
tent of the Allied air-borne operations
In Central Burma is much greater than
the extremely cautious communiques
might seem to indicate Probably the
whole of the forces which the japanese
committed to the Kohima -Imphal ad-
venture are now in grave peril: their
situation may indeed be described as
desperate.
The communications of the japanese
forces in Burma are threatened by sea
and air, with the Allied strike at Sabang
as the precursor Of greater blows yet
to come.
ANCoIlW11AACJ 1oi away Ill GI1c 0Uulll-
west Pacific, new blow has fallen.
Gen. Macarthur, leaping boldly for
ward 500 miles toward the Philippines,
has landed at Hollandia, on the north
coast of New Guinea, and appears to
be establishing himself there in con-
siderable force.
The significance of this operation is
not so much in the fact that it cuts off
the Japanese troops in the Madang-
Wewak areas, though this is, of course,
an important achievement. The real
strategical meaning of Gen. MacAr-
thurs swift advance lies in the fact that
1t represents our first invasion of the
Netherlands Indies; the thrust from the
south supporting the heavy thrusts of
Admiral Nimitz in the center The jap
aneSe have established strong de-
fensive base on the island of Halma-
hera, off the northwestern tip of New
Guinea, and at Hollandia they find
Gen. Macarthur already reaching out
toward their new position.
All of this has to be considered in
connection with the blows which Ad-
miral Nimitz has already struck at the
Japanese bases at Truk, in the Palau
Islands and the Marianas. The Japa-
nese at Rabaul are definitely by-passed;

This Changing World
By Constantine Bro,cn

The landing in Hollandia, an opera
ton performed by the combined forces
of Gen. Douglas Macarthur and Ad-
miral Chester Nimitz, took place long
ahead of the scheduled time. All am
phibious attacks are planned long be-
fore they are launched. The concen-
tration Of ground, naval and air. forces,
particularly in an area like the South
Pacific, where invasion barges are not
as plentiful as they are in the Atlantic
theater, requires careful and patient
planning. Hence assaults on Japanese
held territories must be decided and
prepared many months before they are
translated into action.
The cleaning up of the Netherlands
portion of New Guinea is likely to be
protracted. AS in the cases of New
Britain and Bougainville, the main
thing for the American Australian
forces is to establish adequate beach,
heads, obtain possession of the principal
airdromes and cut off all communica-
tions between the mainland and the
Japanese supply bases. The rest is done
by nature ITSELF The Japanese, lacking
adequate supplies, medicines and REIN
forcements, "die on the vine"
The Japanese have important forces
in all the areas lately invaded by Gen.
MacArthurs troops and a pitched bat
tie in the interior may prove a costlier
operation than the situation justifies.
Military quarters in Washington are
elated over the successful operation of
our combined forces in the Pacific,
where the Nimitz and Macarthur COM
mands are working in perfect harmony,
but they are reluctant to describe them
as the beginning of the end" of the
war with Japan. Unpleasant as it must
be for the Japanese to lose these ad-
vanced posts, 1t does not affect funda-
mentally the Japanese major strategy.
Even after we have cleaned up the whole
OF New Guinea major attack with
ground forces against the Philippine Is
lands or Borneo, the principal peripheric
defenses Of Japan, would still remain
complicated and difficult matter.
There are almost 1900 miles between
the New Guinea bases and the Philip
pines.
It is about the same distance to
Borneo. Invasion forces must be
brought In barges, which are slow. An
amphibious operation over such dis
tances has never been attempted. It is
Evening star., 1944-04-25

now we begin to realize the possibility
that Truk may be by-passed too. In
fact, no tnsular base has very much
value except as 1t affords facilities for
the operation Of mobile sea and air
forces.
The Japanese air power seems to be
definitely on the decline, at least SO
far as long-range air power capable of
operating over the vast distances Of the
Pacific Is concerned, and the Japanese
show continuing reluctance to try to
use their fleet in any major effort.
Probably the reluctance Is in part due
to their having frittered away so many
ships In minor affairs that they no
longer have q balanced and powerful
naval force capable Of meeting Ameri-
can task forces on the scale which Ad-
miral Ninitz is now using.
To sum up the Pacific situation, we
have broken the Japanese outer lines
of defense in the Marshall and Solomon
Islands, in British New Guinea and the
adjacent island We are now confronted
with their second line of defense in the
Marianas, Carolines and Palaus, and in
Dutch New Guinea, which we are pro-
ceeding to assault There is no indica-
ton so far that the Japanese can make
any better defense of the second line
than they did of the outer ine-after
we began to hit 1t in real force.
y 4 y
But these Japanese troubles are cumu-
lative; for the farther west our Pacific
forces establish themselves, the more
cramped and difficult the Japanese
communications become, the greater the
opportunities for us to strike at those
shipping lanes which the Japanese must
defend at all costs-the routes which
lead inside Formosa from the Japanese
main islands southwark to Canton and
Hong Kong Indo- China. Burma, Ma
laya, the Philippines and Java
So Gen. MacArthur's quick thrust to
Hollandia affects, or begins to affect
the Japanese operations in Burma: and
Lord Louis Mountbatten's attack on
Sabang has its repercussions in the
Pacific. We are seeing, as so often we
have in this war, the unfolding of one
more little corner of great strategical
pattern; we are seeing once more the
evidence of careful planning, Of CO.
ordination, of the sort of calm and cool
provision which is so essential an in
gredient of victory

Friend From Australia

John Curtin, Prime Minister OF
Australia, is assured hearty well
come at the hands of the American
people as we'll as from their Govern
ment. He comes to Washington as
the delegate of country with which
the United States is allied in terms
of the closest cooperation. But
without regard to the war, he is
recognized as a friend, speaking as
he does for a community Of men
and women who are psychological
kin to ourselves.
Born in 1885, Mr.. Curtin rose to
power and fame through the trade
union movement. He was secretary
of the timber workers organization
in Victoria from 1911 to 1915; then
editor of the Westralian Worker,
published at Perth, from 1917 to
1925. Elected to the Commonwealth
House of Representatives in 1928 and
again in 1884, he became leader of
the opposition in 1885. A bare
majority of two put him in the
premiership in 1941 and he survived
a motion of mo confidence" by only
one vote in June, 1943.
But Mr.. Curtin has grown in
strength since that date. The Labor
party which he heads won a decisive
victory in the balloting of August,
1943. The Prime Minister made his
campaign on his ability to manage
successfully Australia's portion of
the war in the Pacific. His con-
ception of the struggle and of the
best way to win it was accepted by
his public.
Mr.. Curtin repeatedly has said:
Australia looks to America" The
sentiment thus expressed is recipro-
Gated. America also '1ooks to"
Australia both now and after the
war when cooperation and friendli-
ness still will be needed.

the first time In years. They have
united on Representative Myers as their
candidate for the Davis seat in the
Senate. Mr.. Myers is from Philadei-
phta, while Senator Davis hails from
Allegheny County, the western end of
the State, as does Senator Guffey. ~.

Mr.. Myers Is serving his third term
In the House. Mr.. Davis has been
three times elected a Senator, the first
on November 4, 1890. Before his elec-
ton to the Senate, "Puddler Jim"
served as Secretary of Labor in the
cabinets Of three Republican Presidents
Harding, Coolidge and Hoover.
The Republican party in Pennsylvania
has staged strong comeback since
1886. 1t elected Republican Governor
In 1888 and again in 1912. Today 1t has
10 members of the House to IL for
the Democrats. The last Republican
victory was in the I'd congressional
district, in Philadelphia, when they took
1t away from the Democrats in q by
election early this year. With Roose-
velt at the head of the Democratic
ticket, however, Pennsylvania may be
real battle-ground next November.
That Is, unless the Republican trend the
country over turns out to be as strong
as the Republicans claim &c Is.
