Fall of Singapore
Makes Americans
More Determined
Washington, Feb. — Al!
news from the Far East
during the last few da'
! has only added fuel to the
determination of the peo
ple of the United States to
win the war. This is a con
sensus of newspaper edit
orials as expressed thru
out the nation. The Kansas
City Star said that the set
backs in the Pacific would
imake no difference to the
! people of the United Stat
| es and indicated that Am
ericans will be more deter
mined to do whatever nec
; essary in order to get ul
timate victory.
; The Christian Science
Monitor declares the estab:
lishment of a supply line!
from the United States to!
Australia would become
one of the few factors'
which historians will
praise as one of the decis
ive factors in the war of
the Pacific.
One of the news analysts j
of the New York Times
writes that the visit of Gen
>eral Kai-Shek to India is!
an event of capital import
ance. He cites it as an aug
ury that the masses of In-1
dia and China will fight to
gether against an outside
menace, an invader from
i the northern islands.
He indicated that China
was on the verge of taking
the initiative against the!
Japanese and indicated
help would come from In
dia. The analyst declared
it was entirely in the realm
; of possibility that the war
in the Far East might be
decided by the Asiatics
themselves.

Axis Spring Drive
Next Great Move
j
London, Feb. — A- great
spring offensive by the
Axis to captrue the Suez
Canal and Gibraltar is pre
dieted by informed mili
tary experts.
The object of this spring
offensive is to deprive the
United Nations of two ma
jor bases on which Allied
strategy rests on attacks
by the German armies.
This drive is predicted to
be staged to coincide with
the maxmum Japanese ef
forts against the South Pac
ific and Burma Road in the.
vast pincer operations to!
hem in the British forces
in India.
To combat these Axis
schemes, the British will
be forced to fight Field'
| Marshal Rommel’s Afri
jean Corps with forces now
j stationed in the Arabian
i regions.
Reinforcements either!
from Great Britain or the!
United States will be diffi
cult because of the short
age of shipping forced by
the spread of the war.
