Last night's raid was the 37th of the war on Prankfurt. No details of the attacks on Ludwigshafen or northwest Germany were announced, but they were believed to have been diversionary assaults designed to draw off German night fighters from the main attack on Frankfurt, 50 miles portheast of Ludwigshafen. The Frankfurt attack marked the second time in the last four days that British night raiders have followed up American daylight attack on the same city within 36 hours.

Turning to the Pacific, he pictured Tokyo as sitting “at the top of a great sweep of territory—undamaged,” busy at war production and thus far fairly safe.” Declaring that air and sea power can win in the Pacific, but “not in a hurry,” he pointed out that the nearest allied airbase in China is
