war back to the Japanese. Every stage of Japan's southward march has opened with a battle for mastery of the air.

So far the American-Australian- air g harder blows at the periphery of Japanese bases than the Japanese have been able to deliver against Australia.

No Fighter Protection

The shape of coming events was anticipated by the U. 8. air corps as early as mid-February when it became increasingly apparent that the heavy American bombers could

not continue to operate from Java airfields © constantly exposed to Japanese dive-bombing. About this time Brig. Gen. Lewis H. Brereton determined to: with draw the remnants of ‘the American air. squadrons from Java to bases from which they could hammer more effectively at Japanese com-. munications lines. I talked to Brereton Feb. 24 at an airfield’ near Bandoeng. The charred ‘wreckage of three U. 8. heavy bombers lay nearby, testimony of the ferocity of a Japanese dive-bombing raid that morning. Gen. Brereton said it was futile to attempt to operate the big planes because they were being sacrificed on the ground due to. lack of fighter protection and because the available runways were too small to allow the bombers to take off with heavy bomb loads. '

Feared for Plane’s Safety /Gen. Brereton was scheduled tq |leave Java .by plane at 3:30 p. m. However, ‘he waited until after 5 p.m. for the plane to arrive from Malang. While waiting, Gen. Brereton several times voiced doubts as to the safety of the plane—it was about an hour's flight from Malang, long enough for the Japanese fighters to locate the aircraft. ; ' Without warning an anti-aircraft

By JOHN R. MORRIS United Press Far Eastern Manager NEW DELHI, India, March 20 (U, P.)~India can do what China did to Japanese invaders, 3 That is the congjusion of experienced foreign observers and of hundreds of Indians of all classes with whom I have talked in almost every part -of this fabulous land of 1,576,000 square miles ‘and 338,171,000 population, The Japanese will find more en- ' lemies - heré than they found in China, where 1 witnessed their invasion operations, and these Indian enemies will be capable of survive ing. hardships equal tp anything Japan imposed upon China. Sir Stafford’s Problem

But only the outcome of the visit of Sir Stafford Cripps,’ Britain's lord privy seal and special envoy of the London cabinet, will decide whether Great Britain will:

line. This, they recall, the Japanese did’ in China. _ : But, they argue, a Japanese army invasion soon would bog dewn in limitless India even more hopelessly than the Japanese have bogged down in China. At this point, the military “prob-

the political problem. And here it should be understood that the great majority. of all shades of political opinion in this country is well aware that conquest by Japan would end any idea of independence for generations to come. On that basis, it may be sald that Japan’s enemies here are more numerous than they were in ‘China and just as tough. :
