But, for the duration, let's
take it as it comes, as our men
on the fighting fronts are taking
whatever comes.
WE learn from today's dis
patches that maybe 1000
Japs got ashore at the river
mouths in New Guinea in their
weekend landing sortie.
Our air force is pounding
them. And pounding the Jap
warships that still hang off

We're still closing in on the
remaining Japs on tho Uumi

yHE Germans nro hitting hnrd

Stalingrad, but tho Russians still
report progress on the central
front west of Moscow.
That may bo significant, mean
ing possibly that Hitler Isn't'able
to muster strength on both fronts
and is still Intent (suicidally in
tent, we hope) on making good
his commitment to take Stalin
grad. At ANY cost.
We must also remember the
Importance to Germany of cut
ting the Volga-Caplnn supply
line to Russia. Once Hitler def
initely abandons his attack on
Stalingrad that project will be
on the skids.
A LLIED naval strategy in the
Mediterranean is concentrat
ed on the objective of keeping
reinforcements and supplies from
reaching the axis forces In
Africa. We aren't hearing much
about naval fighting there, but
may be quite sure that plenty of
it is going on. .
If we can prevent reinforce
ments and supplies from reach
ing our enemies from across the
Mediterranean, the axis' goose
