s War Moves
By LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press War Analyst
The tone of
Japanese utterances has taken &
sharp drop from the boastful confidence of the
earlier days of the war,
when Japan was sweeping
down on Singapore and the Dutch East Indies with
spectacular success.
Then it was asserted that Japan
would dictate the terms of peace in the White House, > A curious note of caution is discernible in the remarks of the Japanese navy's spokesman, Capt. Hideo Hiraide, broade
cast by the German radio. Also on the German radio was journalist, wno suggested that Japan's objectives of conquest had been “approximately attained.” His implication seemed to be that Japan should consolidate her gains and not attempt to go further. Hiraide, whose propaganda remarks may have been made to inspire over-optimism in the United States, warned of storm clouds ahead.
He said Japan appears to be on the defensive and may expect air and naval attacks on her islands and outlying possessions. He referred particularly to attacks from aircraft carriers, presumably American. Worry
His warning that the riches of the

ble was porticularly significant because he cited the transportation ditficulties. He thus, wittingly or unwittingly, revealed Japan's apprehension over the heavy damage already done by united nations’ submarines and humbers to Japanese shipping. His fears were given point by today’s announcement by the navy in Washington of damaging attacks by the tlect on Marcus island, close to Japan proper, and on strategic Wake island. The reason for this Japanese uneasiness probably lies in a realization of overextension. Their supply lines are vulnerable.
heard a broadcast by a Japanese
There are indications which juse tify a suspicion that Japan is somes what = dismayed by the prospect ahead in Australia. America’s swift acon in getting men, airplanes and
supplies roung to that continens within litfic more than a. month after Pearl Harbor upset Japanese calculations. The Japanese still are concentrate ing en New Guinea, which is in ite self a formidable obstacle. Until they subdue it, an attempt to ine vade Australia seems improbable.
They Must Go Ahead
The Japanese, it appears, would like to stop at New Guinea, if they dared, and proceed with mopping up the Indies, where Dutch resiste ance continues. But unless they go ahead and ace cept the challenge of Gen. MacAre thur, their whole position is perilous, Confronted by a MacArthur ofe fensive on the south, and with the navy and air arm hacking at their left flank in the Pacific, the Japae nese position shotild prove highly uncomfortable.
