been the point of the war at which the united nations took over the | offensive in the Pacific at large. Japan's remaining aircraft carriers, on the basis of admittedly incomplete listings, are much smaller than the Kaga trpe, ranging down from the neighborhood of 14,000 tons. Now that the crippled enemy fleet had withdrawn and forces of both sides were reforming in preparation for the next major clash, the situation for the moment resembled that | which followed the battle of the Coral sea, but on a much greater scale, | The enemy fleet in the Coral seas had been repulsed and had withdrawn.

Now, during a lull which might end at any time, United States patrol forces over thousands of square miles were on the alert for a possible Japanese come-back, even though it seemed certain that the enemy forces had been so crippled | they would take some time to recover sufficiently to try a new blow.

ful in the east, its rationing would still be necessary there to prevent waste of rubber in tires. It follows that they believed then—and do now—that for the same reason gas rationing is necessary in other parts of the country, including areas where gasoline is abundant. | Mr. Henderson, indeed, expressed this belief forcefully in a letter written several days ago and made public yesterday by Senator Maloney (D. Conn.), asserting that “No combination of tire conservation measures that does not include nation-wide gasoline rationing can hope to avert a serious transportation crisis” within the next three years. While some congressional leaders believe there is a chance President Roosevelt may not order nation- | wide rationing of gasoline as a rub-| ber conservation measure, they do; expect some drastic curtailment of ncn-essential motoring to be inevitable. The final decision apparently has | been postponed until a survey of] present stocks of scrap rubber can be made.
Public Mind Confused
The President has promised a full report to the nation, possibly | through a fireside chat, on the| muddled gasoline-rubber situation | as soon as current studies are completed. | There is great confusion in the] public mind about rubber. It is due! in part to the vagueness of many | official statements and the failure] to support them with facts and figures, in some cases withheld for! “military reasons.”

tion after the remnants of the Midway force are reformed. One reason which would impel the apanese to such an attempt is the growing strength of the United States at sea and especially in the air. The Japanese know they cannot hope to match our production. Unless they can knock us back while they still are at least as strong as we are, their chances grow steadily

the Japanese first turned toward that continent, observers predicted that they would have to make it a lightning thrust or lose their chance. Still engaged at the time with their campaigns in Burma, the

Philippines and part of the Dutch Indies, the Japanese were too overextended to throw a sufficient force against Australia. Gen. MacArthur meanwhile was being steadily reinforced. When the battle of the Coral sea came, his land-based bombers were able to rout the invasion force, whether it was bound for Australia proper or for New Caledonia. As the situation stands now, the prospect of a successful Japanese invasion of Australia fades day by day. That is the argument in favor of another and early Japanese attempt against Hawaii or Alaska.

dicate some belief there that the United States may be able to take the offensive in the next phase of the Pacific battle. That does not seem highly probable at this stage. The United States would lose the advantage of its land-based planes and the situation would be reversed.
