British, Russ Talks Ominous to
Japan and May Mean New Phase
In Far East, Asserts Analyst
By KUtKE L. SIMPSON
Wide World War Analyst
for The Statesman
Although American attention remains centered on the bat
tie of Luzon, disclosure of Russo-British strategy talks In Mos
cow paralleling the Roosevelt-Churchill conference in Wash
fnffton must be ominous news for Tokyo.

At what moment Britain s nussian any may taxe a nana in
the Pacific war to alter trie wnole
pattern of the China sea struggle
only the highest authorty in the
anti-axis camp knows. It seems
certain that the crisis in the Far
East, involving the immediate fate
of both Manila and Singapore,
concerned the . Moscow conferees
as much as it did those in Washington.
The twin meetings to rally
American - British - Russian re
sources and map a coordinated
war effort synchronised too
closely for that to be doubted.
The Singapore base and Its gal
lantly defended Philippine out
post are so vitally Important
that Joint measures to render
both secure against Japanese
arrressors must have been hlfh
up on the Moscow agenda.

The Japanese assault is now so
well defined as centering in the
Lingayen push toward Manila,
supplemented by the diversion at
tack from the south through even
more difficult terrain, that Gen
eral MacArthur must be satisfied
that he has fathomed the strategy
of his foe. For the first time he is
free to muster for full scale battle
on ground f his own choosing,
which tends to even the odds of
numbers somewhat.

Adolf Hitter's military establish

officially in one. of the most ac

off The j Netherlands,
i .in a stirring account of the
raid carried out Saturday night
on Vaagso and Maaloy by com
mands landing on the fog-shrouded
islands, the British disclosed
what was considered a perfect
example of absolute coordination
of land, sea and air forces.
It was the first time that all
three arms participated in a joint
action and it was - declared to
have gone off "absolutely accord
ing to plan from beginning to
end."
Official quarters emphasised
this was a small scale opera
tion without bearing on major
theatres of the war an admo
nition regarded In some circles
as an attempt to dispel the often-voiced
Idea that some such
a raid or series of raids might
herald the beginning of a con
tinental invasion.
Despite the official tendency to
de-emphasize the size of the raid,
Britons hailed it as a heavy blow
to German shipping which has
used Vaagso as an assembly point
for nazi convoys carrying supplies
to the far northern front in Rus
sia.

The British Singapore com
mand -likewise acknowledged the
fall of Kuching, the capital of
British-protected Sarawak, on the
island of Borneo some 475. miles
east of Singapore.
The outlook on the western side
of the Malay peninsula however,.

invader had landed at Medan on
Dutch Sumatra, a strategic posi
tion across Malacca strait from
which Singapore could be flanked
to the west
The Dutch communique,
however, did speak of enemy
ah- raids on Medan, as did the
' British, and it seemed clear
either that there had been no
Japanese landing at all, or that
any landing that might have
been effected was in such slight
strength as to offer no present
menace.
The British wireless, in fact,
quoted Dutch officials as saying
flatly that reports of Japanese
parachute landings on Medan
were erroneous, presumably
misunderstanding of initial ac
counts of the assailant's bombing
attack.
There were Manila radio re
ports that 12 more Japanese
troopships had been sunk by
Dutch aircraft off Davao on Min
danao, the southern most Philip
pine island, but these had no of
ficial confirmation.
Confirmed by the US navy,
however, were further successes

Though the communique gave a
detailed account of the Japanese

Sumatra yesterday, in which SO
persons were killed, 70 wounded
and the airdrome was damaged.
there was no further official word
on the Japanese parachute troops
