Intensifying War Against Japan Reported in Pacific Communique
General MacArthur announces heavy air and naval actions in the South West Pacific. Many enemy barges destroyed off New Britain and New Guinea. In the Northern Solomons 36 Japanese bombers were shot down at a cost of six Allied planes. Airfields at Wewak denied to the enemy and attacks on Indo China and the Marshall Islands suggest the war is being speeded up. A forthcoming NE0 meeting is scheduled for September with no talks of a ceasefire.
