SIMPSON Wido World War Analyst fee Th Statesman Whatever their.' ultimata fate, two liny island bastions In lar seas, the one British and the proving sharp thorns in the conquest pathway of the axis mates. . They are Malta, dominating thougn wunin hardly a stone s throw of the Italian shores, and Corregidor, even more effectively denying Japan the us of Manila hay, guarding the flank of the American-Filipino army on Bataan--definitely disrupting Tok yo's schedule. . , As to Malta's role there can be no question. It has been per sistently bombed tight and day month after month 'at close range. Yet axis beasts of bomb hits on British warships there sufficiently confirm continued use of Valletta harbor as a sea base within less than 9 miles of Italy. - T ' .'--The British on Malta' estimate that its defense has cost the axis 50 planes downed during this month of March alone. That the sea floor about the island is strewn w 1 1 h the wreckage of many, many time that number of enemy aircraft and the bodies 1 their crews goes without say ing. The battle of Malta has been continuous since Italy entered the war. " The men of Corregidor' bat teries likewise have scored heavily against otherwise unchallenged Japanese airpower. The vital role of the fortress and its flanking forts in the defense of Bataan that has thrilled the allied world Is uncontestable. A new Japanese commander, fresh from his victory at Singa pore, was rushed to Luzon. It is his mission to erase the blot on Japanese army prestige that the names of Corregidor and Bataan represent. Corregidor and Its batteries till stand In Us way. His first move Is to renew tho air assault oa that fortress la recognition of the fact that while Corregidor holds out with flaming guns, his hopes of restoring Japanese prestige except at prohibitive cost remain meager. : V.
