Xemrai observers, however, expressed belief t hat J apan would not risk taking on a new enemy until Adolf Hitler had started his long delayed grand offensive against Russia—and until she was sure that the Ger man push was succeeding. Russia and Japan have a live year neutrality and “friendship” pact signed April 13. 1941. which so far has been observed amid warnings by Moscow and Tokyo to each other against violations. High quarters in Chungking, Chinese wartime capital, said the Japanese general staff preferred to postpone further thrusts into the southeast in favor of stutegy affect ing territory near Japan. On the China fighting front, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek's Chinese armies doggedly fought against a dozen or more Japanese invasion columns, chiefly; in the eastern and southern provinces. In the battle of Australia, an allied spokesman said the Japanese were using two new type planes—a light er Zero fighter and a cannon-equip ped medium bomber—and he added that the enemy was bombing with even less accuracy than in the Phil ippines. General I) o u g 1 a s McArthur's headquarters said 18 heavy Japanese bombers escorted by fighters again attacked the allied outpost at Port Moresby, New Guinea, but succeed t d in damaging only '"one small ship.” United Nations fliers int rcepted the raiders and shot down two bomb ers and a fighter Aluminum Drive Fails VVPB Announces Fig ures Showing Less Than Half Expected Metal Was Collected.
