They reject any idea that a partnership would be jug-handled be"cause England is on a hot spot sub“Ject to involvement in the quarrels of continental Europe, whereas the United States is presumed to be far removed from old-world feuds. They _, ontend that henceforth every American interest will, regardless of ur desires, necessitate our dominance of the Pacific. “i With Japan, China and Russia. all factors to be reckoned with in the years ahead, they point out that Britain’s fleet, naval and air bases, Aplus her own territorial and commercial interests in the Pacific, will make her the natural ally of America in that area in the future.
. Basing their estimates for the fuHare on what has happened in’ the ‘development of aerial and mechanized warfare since 1918, and recognizing the narrow margin by ‘which Germany failed to win this war by quick knock-out, it is assumed that future wars will be blitz affairs, short, devastating and decisive.
There is little prospect that any major power can ever again build a winning army from scratch subsequent fo the actual outbreak of hostilities, as has been done since 1939 by England and America.
‘Have Common Stake’
ot For this reason it is argued that, since in the future as in the past the causes which will drag one nation into war will involve the other also, defense becomes a problem in which the two greatest exponents of democracy will have a continuing common stake,

Once again there is talk of Britain being relegated to a secondary ole in the commerce of the post‘war era, with America dominating ‘the stage. The British are not arguing the point, but when , Churchill stated that he had not {een chosen prime minister “to Jiquidate the British empire” it was umed that he was speaking of e British commercial as well as e political empire.
‘Certain of Major Role’
The British are fully aware of the gigantic strength and resourceful- | ness of American industry as rei vealed by the war effort. They admit | their inability to match this in volume, but they believe.that with their long experience as the world’s greatest trading nation, they are still cer- | tain of a major role in the post-war world economy. They realize that peace will open vast new world markets. It will see a rush to develop a global air transport system. A new. social order will demand a minimum of unemployment, and industry, both British and American, must meet this demand, to escape permanent governmental regimentation. Booms and depressions. must be prevented, or at least minimized. To this end the British are most . anxious to come to some agreement “b-with American industry that will / eliminate cut-throat competition, maintain price and wage levels and stabilize employment. Their thinking runs to the idea of a modernized version of the cartel system operated in the future in the interest of the consumer, as well as of the producer. ‘Fhe Lesser Evir tain seems to realize that in an undertaking she cannot the role of senior partner or lling stockholder. ‘What her essmen hope for is a fiftydeal.

WARTHUR CERTAIN OF JAPAN'S DEFEAT

Japanese on New Georgia island in the central Solomons and expand the conquest of Munda, ‘to reach a long arm northward toward bigger bases on New Britain and New Ireland. * Allied bombers, ranging north of the equator for the first time since the Philippines fell, bombed an enemy convoy 300 miles above the Japanese base at Kavieng, New Ireland. Results of the operation were not known. Two cargo ships and a destroyer were attacked. Other bombers unloaded 63 tons of explosives on the Villa airdrome and harbor area on Kolombangara island, northeast of New Georgia, the probable next American objective. Air activity on the New Guinea end of the front was hampered by adverse weather. A Washington dispatch said allied strategy against Japan, as outlined by high command statements, included - the forging of a ring of steel | through the Pacific by seizure of enemy bases prior to a blow straight at Japan’s heart; a mounting war of attrition against enemy supply ‘lines, and moves to keep China ‘in the war by forcing the
