and bomber planes Gen Douglas Mac-Arthhas been carrying the war to the enemy in New Guinea and Timor and even as far away as the Philippines while there still seemed to be some confusion over the extent of his command Now MacArthur’s status has been officially stated and accepted as commander in chief in the southwestern Pacific Prime Minister John Curtin’s message to him said: "Your directive among other things instructs you to prepare to take the offensive” Mac Arthur lost no time in organizing his command and naming his staff heads The fact that New Zealand was apparently not included In the command has not been explained However New Zealand is off in the South Pacific 1200 miles from the southeastern coast of Australia and 3000 miles from ur the nearest Jap penetration southward Action Northward Its would indicate that all the action is expected northward New Zealand’s separate task would be guarding the sea lanes from the United States to Australia The net result is that a powerful offensive force Is being built up in Japan’s rear while she is devoting her main effort for the present towards Burma India and the Bay of Bengal and to the complete conquest of the Philippines The northward offensive from Australia when it comes presumably will not be the only flank which Japan must protect over her lines As the reported raid on the main Japanese island shows she is to attack either from subject -based planes in the Pacific d or planes from Cnina There is also the possibility of attack from Siberia which Japan fears as much as anything If Russia enters the war against Japan or if Japan attacks Russia in an effort to remove the menace it almost is certain that American bombers will swarm out from Alaska by way of the Aleutian islands to operate from the Kamchatka peninsula and the Vladivostok area With MacArthur pressing from the south the Japanese would have their hands full on ' carrier- ’ land-base- iA j : fi Chief Examiner As ti V -
