By KIRKE L. SIMPSON
Wide World War Analyst for The Statesman
Japanese moves in the Philippines and Indian ocean are
shaping to a definite pattern. They foreshadow clearly coming
blows at India while a Pacific holding front, hinged on island
bases from the coast of Japan to that of Australia, wards off
intervention by the American
fleet
Prime Minister Churchill has
disclosed that the British had
spotted three or more Japanese
battleships, five plane carriers
and many light craft in the Bay
of Bengal. He gave no indication
ef British naval strength there
but loss of two heavy cruisers and
small plane carrier has already
gravely reduced it.
The Japanese force represents
virtually half of Japan's known
plane carrier fleet and at least
a fourth and perhaps even a
third of her battleship strength.
It means that Japan's sea-air
forces on her Pacific flank,
from Japan Itself to the Solo
snons off Aastralia's east coast,
have been dangerously scaled
down. An opportunity for a
smashing American naval and
air blow at Japanese communi
cation lines in the China sea
would be dearly Indicated bat
for two circumstances.
One is the bulwark of Japanese
Island bases for airplanes and
Submarines along the Pacific
flank. They cover every approach
from the Pacific to the CSna sea,
Including all routes through in
terior waters of the Philippine
archipelago.
The other American naval han
dicap on which Tokyo's warlords
undoubtedly are counting is the
fact that except for roving task
forces, American seapower in the
Pacific is necessarily disposed to
safeguard supply routes to Aus-
tralia. Even if Japan's main bat-
tie fleet has been reduced to the
extent indicated, there seems lit-
tie prospect that American sea
forces can be spared from convoy
duty to seek it out for decisive
action.
- Japanese concentration o f
power in the Indian ocean, how
ever, does strongly intimate
that any Immediate attempt to
Invade Australia is improbable.
-General MacArthur seems cer
tain to be granted additional
time' for. mobilization, training
and equipment of bis Australian-American
armies for offen
sive as well as defensive ope
rations.
There is every reason, however,
to expect and hope for a stepping-
up of blows at Japanese island
outposts by American naval task
forces and an increase also in
American submarine raiding in
Japanese waters. Presumably it
was to guard against just that that
the Japanese moved against Cebu
in the Philippines even Deiore
their conquest of Bataan penin-
sula on Luzon was complete.

Damage to
London Told
Chamber Here
Although 16,000 houses in Lon
don have been annihilated by en
emy bombs, it is possible to travel
for miles in that dry without
seeing any of war's results and
some Londoners have never been
inside air raid shelters, Col. W,
Roy Gilts, public relations officer I
for the Salvation Army, told a
Salem chamber of commerce
luncheon audience Monday. The
city, he explained, covers a large
area and enemy bombers, follow-
ing the Thames as the only good
landmark, have dumped most of
their bombs on the east side.
Children, It was remarked by I
CoL Gilts, adjust themselves to
war conditions more quickly
than adults and the experience
has not been harmful to their
health which on the average Is
better than before the war. The
sneaker told of incidents which
Illustrated the hirh morale of
the British.
The fact that London in its I
growth absorbed a number of
smaller towns is advantageous In
thai each had its separate water
system so that no single disaster
will cut off the water supply; and
thanks to the competitive spirit
which brought about construction
of many rival transportation sys-
terns, travel within the dry has
not been greatly disrupted. The
underground railway is both the
safest place in an air raid, being
from 60 to 350 feet beneath the
surface, and the speediest and
most reliable means of transport
he mentioned.
The minimum of rebuilding is
being done, CoL Gilts said, it be-1
ing the plan to rebuild the city
along modern ana saentmc lines
when the war is over.
mougn in -equipped wun train-
ed fighters, England had a good
start in munitions and well - pro -
tected industries when the war

Oregon Preparing
Food to Store
Against Attack
The Oregon evacuation com
mittee already has under eonsid
eration plans for Drovidins food-
stuffs for distribution in case of
an enemy attack. Gov. Charles A.
Sprague Monday wrote Claude R.
Wickard. secretary of sericulture.
The governor said the public
welfare commission plans to store
foodstuffs and clothing in the
ESrSfSErE
sions would be available for
evacuees.
Elmer R. Goudy, public welfare
aclministrator. was directed to
advise Wickard as to the ability I
of his department to warehouse!
commodities placed at his dis-
posal.
Governor Sprague's letter was
in response to an appeal from
Wickard for Oregon to provide
ample food and clothing in event
of an enemy attack. '
