Australia's Prime Minister
.John Curtin has urgently ap
pealed "to tin* proper quarters"
to strengthen allied forces in
the Pacific and drive hack Ja
pan's far I'luiijf invasion hordes,
it was disclosed today.
Curtin's representations fol
lowed a statement on Thursday
ir which he declared that the
"I'nited Nations in the Pacific
area are lieinjr denied resources
for their total war effort."
1 tir prime minister li.nl also
asserted thai Japan was cur-.ul
ulating her eomiiiests and that
"delaying an offensive against
her makes it eertain that the of
fensive when undertaken will
experience greater resistance."
Csii tin's argument wa- underlined

Otlicial dispatches said allied
troops had driven another wediy.
into Japanese positions along tin*
narrow Papuan beach corriHer. with
tanks and artillery cutting a path

Strongly entrenched, the Japan
ese apparently still held lonOmld

llmr's airmen raked Japanese
