Casey, in the middle was being aired today. A summary of crisp exchanges between the prime ministers was Issued today In advance of a white paper promised for next Wednesday which will contain full documentation of- the argu ment over the best use to be found for Casey. Churchill wanted him to be minister of state in the Middle East for the British war cabinet, a representative of the United Kingdom there in all but strictly mllitury matters; Curtin wanted hrn to slay In Washington where, he said, Casey's contacts' had made him most valuuble to Aus tralia and his replacement most difficult. ' . Churchill, according to the sum mary of the prospective white paper, said he first learned that Casey was eager for a change when he spent a night with the minister aboard train on his visit to the United States last Decem ber and January. Curtin, saying that Casey never had intimated to him or any other minister that he was ready for a shift, had asked Churchill not to make the offer. The appointment of the Austra lian to the Middle East post was announced first in London yester day. This caused a stir at Can berra, followed by such a reluct ant yielding on Ctirtin's part that Churchill cabled an expression of "surprise at the tone and sub stance" of Curtln's reaction. The Melbourne Herald said the public reaction to the Casey ap pointment was "surprise, shock and disappointment .... If it is not altogether too late the matter should be remedied." "If Mr. Casey feels that his services are not proeiiy appreci ated he should be reassured. Al though Mr. Casey is capable of serving Australia well In the Middle East, his unique and irre placeable qualifications demand his retention."

General MacArthur acknowl edged the crowd's tumultous wel come with a brief, straight-front-theshoulder address. "1 have every confidence in the ultimate success of our joint cause," he said, "but success in modern war requires something 1 more than courage and willing ness to die. "It requires careful prepara tion. "This demands furnishing suf ficient troops and suffleent ma terial to meet the known strength of a potential enemy. No general can make something out of noth ing. My success in the future will depend primarily upon the resources which the respective governments place at my disposal. "My faith In them Is complete. "In any event, I shall do my best. I shall keep a soldier's faith." Alllea Strike In Burma. Other developments: Burma British headquarters reported that British troops fight ing on the Irrawaddy river front had driven the Japanese from Letpadan, key rail junction 150 miles northwest of Rangoon.

Vichv was told that unless she gave categorical assurances that no axis submarine or war plane would be allowed to visit any French western hemisphere pos session the United States would be compelled to take such action as would protect American inter ests.
