AS WAR GOES ON
Premier Tells Jap Parlia
ment Lightning Success
Phase of Conflict Is Over.
By United Pre.
Gen. Hideki Tojo, Japanese
premier and war lord, com
plained to the Japanese parlia
ment yesterday of the difficul
ties under which his troops are
operating and the enormous
numbers of allied forces oppos
ing them.
He told the parliament, in
report on the first year of Pacif
ic war, that the first phase of
surprise attacks and lightning
successes had given way to the
second phase which would be
one of decisive battles.
Tojo said British forces in In
dia totaled 1,600,000 men and
were continually increasing.'
Guadalcanal Tough
He said that on Guadalcanal
Island in the Solomons the Jap
anese were undergoing great
hardships in. an unhealthy re
gion, and in the Aleutians off
Alaska Japanese troops were en
during ' almost unimaginable
privations and difficulties.
In China, Tojo said, the Jap
anese faced 300,000 Chinese and
600,000 "Communist" troops and
an allied air forces of 300 planes.
He said incidentally that the
Japanese army on the Siberian
frontier had been reinforced "in
view of the continually changing
. world situation, so ' that undis
turbed carrying through of the
Eastern Asiatic war was guaran
teed."
Adm. Shlgetorl, navy minis
ter, admitted to parliament that
Japan had lost one battleship,
three airplane carriers, four
cruisers, 15 destroyers, nine sub'
marines, three other naval craft
and 63 merchant ships, totaling
200,000 tons, and one battleship,
two carriers, three cruisers, nine
destroyers, one submarine and
10 naval craft of other -types
damaged. He put Japanese naval
plane losses at 588.

HAPPY
NEW YEAR

IN NO jingle-bens or horn
blowing spirit, but with
sober-sided recognition of the
trials ahead, Standard of Cali
fornia wishes you a happy 1943
This we are emboldened to do
because we know how hard
your fellow-countrymen in this
Company are working to make
that wish come true.
Already, during tempestuous
1942, fhese thousands of Stand
ard men and women have
brought closer the possibility
of a happy 1943 by licking
giant after giant. In oilfield,
laboratory, and refinery, aboard
tanker, train and truck, their
achievements make ours a fight-ing-cr
and produdng-er nation.
With your own eyes you have
seen something of the awful
wrench Pearl Harbor brought
to the whole oil industry. Bat
don't forget one other thing.
There have been many indue
. tries that have shifted tnlirtly
to war-production, but the oil
industry had to manage vast
' war-production in addition.
Yet the oil industry has de
livered the goods to keep the
Armed forces going tnd Ibt
ubith of production, too. Be
cause we know ftrtonMj the
hazards overcome slid the prog
ress made in 1942 we have con
fidence and to spare for
1943. VCe pledge yon 36) days
of effort to better our best
out share toward a happy new
year for M Americans.
