Believe Japs Shift To Aggressive Defense In Pacific
Washington reports Japanese operations in the Pacific have moved from offensive to aggressive defense. Despite increased enemy air activity there is little danger of attacks on Australia or major UN bastions. The US aims at large scale European operations first, limiting Pacific offensives this spring and summer. Heavy naval and air blows may occur, but decisive US action in the Pacific is unlikely soon. MacArthur reportedly commands a larger Australian air force with steady reinforcements.
