taxed as we gathered our strength for the invasion of France.
 At the TRIDENT Conference in Washington four months later the position of the Allies in Asia was reconsidered, and 1t was agreed that top priority must be given the Air Transport Command to increase the capacity of the aerial route over the Hump to 10000 tons a month. It was also resolved that vigorous action must be taken to begin a Burma campaign in the fall at the end of the 1943 monsoon.
 Three months later .in the QUADRANT Conference plans were laid in greater detail to real | ize the maximum effect that could be obtained in Asia with the resources then available. The penetration into Burma from h. dia was a task of unusual diff1- culty. Communications between the Port of Calcutta and Assam were limited to one railroad which changes from broad to meter gauge and which must cross the sweeping Brahmaputra River in ferries because the monsoon floods make bridging impossible. No where along the India-Burma frontier is there any easy west-to east passage, The jungles that cover the barrier of the Hima- layan foothills are malaria ridden infested with acute dysenterieS and endemic typhus.
 The United States and Great Britain had insufficient landing vessels even to give assurance of the success to the opererations planned for the Mediterranean and Western Europe. It was im- possible at that time to mount an amphibious attack on Burma from the south.
 At the QUADRANT Conference the Southeast Asia Command was created under Admiral, the Lord Louis Mountbatten. It. Gen. Still well, who commanded the China Burma-India U. s. 'Theater, was lilduc LIS OcpuIy. All Ullc It. sources the United States could make available to him were allo- cated for the task of reestablish- ing land communications to China. It was urgently desired to furnish greater Allied resources in the East than were allotted. They simply were not available.
 In the new command structure the Combined Chiefs of Staff con- tinted to exercise general juriS- diction over operations in South east Asia and over the allocation of American and British resources. Operations in the Chinese theater of war were under the command of the Generalissimo, with Still well as his Chief of Staff. All Royal Air Force and Army Air Forces combat strength on the Burma front, including the U. s. Tenth Air Force, was formed into the Eastern Air Command under Maj. Gen. George E. Stratemeyer.

dreams of conquest of Asia and Oceania. In the face of almost a complete lack of war material, China had refused to submit. But her condition by the early sum- mer of 1943 had grown truly des- perate.
 Danger of . Defeated China
 China's most critical needs were in trucks and rolling stock, artil- lery, tanks, and other heavy equipment. It was impossible to fly this material over the Himalayas in the essential quantities. In fact except as it supplied the Amer ican Fourteenth Air Force com- manded by General Chennault with gasoline, bombs. and ammuni- tion, the Hump air route at that time gave China little material assistance. If the armies and gov ernment of the Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek had been finally defeated, Japan would have been left free to exploit the tremen- dous resources of China without harassment. It might have made 1t possible when the United States and Britain had finished the job in Europe, and assaulted the Jap anese home islands, for the gov ernment to flee to China. and con- tinue the war on a great and rich land mass.
 The Combined Chiefs of Staff recognized that Germany had to be defeated first and that the quickest approach to Japan was across the Pacific, Spearheaded by our Navy. Nevertheless, they be- lieved that China must be given sufficient support to keep her in the war.
 Accordingly, when this critical phase of the global war was dis cussed at Casablanca in January 1943, the Combined Chiefs di- rected that preparations be made to reestablish surface communica- tions to China and to step up the flow of supply over the Hump even though at that time Allied resources were being heavily taxed to bring the North African campaign to a successful conclu- sion and to extend control over the Mediterranean. We knew they would be much more heavily

Atomic Energy Forum Topic

Social Implications of Atomic Energy" was the topic Raymond J. Tanning, managing editor of The American spoke on at the lobby forum at the Central YMCA last night.
 MT. Tanning outlined the saving that controlled energy from radio active piles of uranium and plu- tonium could mean for the domes- tic consumption of electricity and for industrial consumption. He stated it would mean about an 8-10 per cent saving on domestic and 20-25 per cent saving for industrial consumption. In industrial indus tries he predicted the eventual use O. atomic power plants to supple ment steam and hydro electric plants for power.

 THE ROAD TO CHINA
 Of all the battlefronts of the ylobal war, the situation in East Asia two years ago was the bleak sst for the United Nations. In seeking to capitalize on the pre- pcupation of the Western Powers In Europe and the sneak attack on the American fleet at Pearl Harbor, the Japanese had established an immense perimeter of conquest in the Far East. By July 1922 it ex- tended more than halfway across the Pacific, southward almost to Australia, and westward to the mountain barriers of the India Burma front. The advance east ward of the Japanese had been halted in the critical battles of Midway and the Coral Sea. But Japan still held tremendous areas replete with the natural resources essential to the conduct of modern warfare.
 So far. our advance back over these areas taken by the Japa- nese in their initial stride had been slow and painful. It seemed to many Americans that if we had to repeat again and again the bloody struggles for Guadalcanal and the Papuan Coast of New Guinea by what was popularly termed island, hopping" the de- cision in the war with Japan was distant many years. Army and Navy commanders were well aware of the difficulties and pauc- ity of means. Nevertheless, we had undertaken offensive opera tions in the Pacific and Far East with only the small forces then available because it was impera- tive that the Japanese be halted and placed on the defensive.
 Japan's rush into Burma had isolated China except for the thin line of air supply over the 500 mile of the Himalayan Hump be- tween Assam, India, and the Yum nan plateau The Japanese had attacked China at the most pro- pitious time for carrying out their

SURVEY SHOWS
 MORE WOMEN
 PLAN TO WORK

Detroit, June 4 - (U.P.) - It's going to be tough to send women back to their kitchens after the war survey of the Detroit area has re- vealed.
 Three of every four wonen work CTS interviewed by the women's bureau of the U. s. Department of Labor plan to continue their jobs after total victory.
 And with 85 per cent of them, the decision to continue working isn't whimsy, or because they like their new-found independence. The De- troit survey showed that 85 of each 100 women who plan to continue working said they had to earn their own livings or that they would have to support others.
 100000 More To Bid
 The Detroit study will be pub lished as one of series of personal interview surveys conducted in war congested areas by the women's bureau.
 It indicates that there will be 312,000 women entertaining bids in the Detroit labor market, 100000 more than were employed in 194O. working until the men in their
 Another 27,000 plan to continue families return and find jobs, but this group indicated that it would be glad to return home as soon as economically possible.
 The Detroit employment situation will be eased by 58,00O women who expect to withdraw from the labor market and by the fact that 3l,- 900 migrant women workers intend to leave the area and work else where.
 Former housewives who entered industry during the war are more ready to quit than are former school girls, the survey shows. Two flfthS of the former housewives will leave their jobs, while only one-ffth of the former students plan to quit.
 Women now have a wealth of mechanical skill they didn't pos sess before the war and will be large-scale competitors with men in in such jobs as the fabrication and handling of metal parts and other machine tool opera tions. Women's in war manufacturing has increased 500 per cent during the war, from 31 ,000 to 197,OOO
 Apparently, however war work wasn't primary factor in selling women on their pay checks, for the proportion of those who want jobs after the war is decidedly higher among women who were before Pearl Harbor than those who went to work after war was declared.
