Wide Werld War Analyst For The Statesman
Pointing up Prime Minister. Winston Churchill's expression
of "growing confidence' in the outcome of the struggle despite
anxiety over Singapore's fate, American air forces have struck
another telling blbwat a key-stone of; the .Japanese power, arch
in the China sea. fl;
Yankee .bombers i;havew sunk a
Nipponese : cruiser Aa tod- fired a
tanker m the vicinity of Jolo, cen
tral island of the Sub archipela
go, midway betweeijKltforth Borneo
and the southwestern tip of Min
danao. Jolo is in the island-dotted
passage between the. Sulu and
Celebes seas. Japan' must domi
nate that passage effectively eith
er to push southward against the
Dutch Indies or Aiistralia, "or to
safeguard the flank of ier attack
on Singapore. : '
The South Pacific-China sea
route' uses that passage. From
bases In Mindanao, In North
Borneo and on Celebes island,
Japanese air units 'and probably
U-boats are deployed to bar it
to allied use. American air
blasting in the Sola-Celebes sea
passages is raising a -definite
challenge to that enemy deploy
ment at a critical point
According to Washington re
ports the most recent incident oc
curred "100 miles off Jolo." That
sufficiently indicates the vulnera
bility of the Japanese deployment
at this stage of the fight It also
might indicate that in the minds
of allies strategists, the Sulu
Celebes sea passage is the weak
link in Japan's gigantic effort to
wall off the whole China sea;
region while she matures her
drive for oil and other resources
in The Netherlands Indies.
Control of that passage is es
sential to the Japanese 'not only
against allied naval incursions;
but also to Insure safe passage
southward for any major in
vasion thrust at the Dutch In
dies or even Australia,
Narrow Singapore5 strait is the
only other road that could be
used. It is still dominated by
Singapore on one side and allied
bases in Borneo on the other.
Slipping transport and supply con
voys through those waters would
be risky while Singapore holds
