A heavy artillery duel has been in progress all day. However, British observation planes spotted heavy Japanese forces moving down toward the Johore shore in preparation for the big attack. Tokyo propaganda claims that the big attack on Singapore has started found no substantiation in Mr. Guard’s eyewitness dispatches.

There was another big air attack on Scerabaja which started fires and caused material damage. The Japanese bombers concentrated on

Today's War Moves

By LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press War Analyst The defensive, delaying action which the united nations are fighting in the southwestern Pacific is

approaching its

supreme test as the war in that

area nears the end of its eighth week. ‘

It is now or

never for the Japanese if they are

to entrench themselves for a long war in which they might achieve at least a partial victory in the form of a stalemate. It must be done before the arrival of the “great reinforcements” which Gen. Sir Archibald Wavell, as supreme commander, assured besieged Singapore are on the way.

Gen. Wavell’s pronouncement showed clearly that it still is a‘case of “hold that line,” with no immediate prospect of more than local offensive action. The crucial question is whether the reinforcements will arrive in time to save Singapore, Burma and the Dutch Indies.

Hold for 3 Months

The allies probably will have to hold until about the beginning of May, nearly three months hence, before they can hope to begin pushing the Japanese back. Extensive Japanese gains in the meantime might prolong that date indefinitely. The allied task is complicated by the extended nature of the Japanese attacks, now stretching over nearly 5000 miles of land and water.

more ships and more airplanes. With their shorter lines of communications from Japan and the Asiatic mainland, they have been able to throw superior forces against every point attacked. This has been accomplished by years of preparation for the present surge of conquest. The Japanese painstakingly charted every channel and shoal from the Strait of Malacca to the barrier reefs of Australia and beyond through the islands of the mid-Pacific. Their agents surveyed every land defense and watched the fumbling efforts to strengthen them-—too late,

Many Danger Points

Thus the Japanese know where

Java. It is hard to rate them in the order of importance. The loss of Burma would be a deadly blow to China and to the whole allied cause. Possession of Singapore would greatly strengthen Japan’s offensive power. Solidly entrenched in Java and Borneo, they would be masters for the time being of the entire southwest Pacific, except Australia. If this state of affairs should come to pass, Australia would become the allied stronghold and the point from which the united nations would have to fight the long way back. The island continent is preparing for such a contingency. It is inconceivable, with adequate reinforcements from the United States, that the Japanese, at the most, could do more than gain a foothold on the northern fringe of Australia. This they probably will try to do.

own and getting a share of the business. Mr. Bradford handles the receipts from these branches and gets 10 per cent of the fees, but that's not enough, he says, to cover the auditing and handling costs. And there are a number of persons Mr. Bradford calls “bootleggers” who go into large plants, get license tag applications and get them notarized by friends and then get the plates from the State House, pocketing the 25-cent notary fees themselves. The car-freezing order also naturally has sharply reduced notary fees on titles.

Hopes for Big Rush

Mr, Bradford calculates that the costs of operating the license branches up until the license deadline at midnight Feb. 28 will be $15,000. And he had counted when he took over the license branch upon his fees totaling $24,000, making him a profit of $9000. “But I'll not even come close to that,” he said gloomily.

He admits there will be a last-| that will]

Fight On in Burma

The Japanese bombers attacking Soerabaja again were protected by fighters, indicating use of a close-in land base or a Japanese aircraft carrier, off-shore. On the Burma front the Japanese were attacking incessantly in the vicinity of Pa-an, 30 miles up the Salween River from Moulmein. They are attempting a flanking drive toward the Burma Road only 75 miles away. The British did not confirm a Japanese claim of the capture of Pa-an which is on the east bank of the turbulent Salween River, the major barrier to their penetration of Burma.
