A navy career man, his permanent rank at the moment is captain but it was assumed that he would be promoted to a rank in keeping with the responsibilities of ‘his new command.’ The announcement was made here by a British spokesman who accompanied Mr. Roosevelt here
Roosevelt had told all axis leaders, in a public address, that surrender would pay them better now than later. - It was dated “The Citadel,” where he and Prime Minister Churchill ended their “get Japan” conference Tuesday.
Announce Decisions
The spokesman said the announcement could properly be termed as coming from the AngloAmerican high command and that the citadel, for practical purposes, must be regarded as No. 10 Downing
London for the time being. Shortly before the president and: -|the prime minister parted, they an- - {nounced that their conferences had resulted in decisions to strike new blows against the axis soon, particularly Japan. Mountbatten’s. appointment, coming so soon, and the disclosure that operations would be based on ‘India and Ceylon, was
‘|taken to mean that there would
be a large scale British naval offensive in the bay of Bengal. It was assumed that. American warships would participate. . The plan was envisaged as one that will strike at the Japanese in Burma from two directions, by land from India, and by sea from Ceylon. Mountbatten is only 43 years old but a leading authority on operations involving all three arms— naval, land and air and. all three would be required in something approaching. equal strength in Burma. His commandos are experts at the sort of hand-to-hand ‘fighting that will be required in the Burmese jungles. . The next in the series of impor tant allied announcements may come Sunday afternoon. when Churchill makes an important radio address, his first since the Quebec conferences ended. It will parallel the speech Mr. Roosevelt made here yesterday. The presidnt spent the afternoon touring the countryside and visiting at the summer home of Canadian Prime Minister W.
