Edward C Wayne analyzes changes in U S stance toward Japan as the drive to the south is seen as a threat to vital East Indies supplies. The piece notes Soviet air raids on Moscow and comments on wartime policy shifts.
Observers in Tokyo describe the new regime under the same premier as ambiguous about its aims. Expected moves include stricter wartime pursuit in China, no immediate break with the tripartite pact, a softer U.S. stance if goals are pursued, stronger Manchukuo and Ir berian border positions, and a likely southern Pacific grab in Indo China that could draw the United States in. U. S. officials warn Indo China moves threaten U.S. security tied to rubber and tin from the East Indies, while Britain and others view Japan's likely plan as a broader invasion of Indo China. The Vichy regime appears powerless to resist, and Eden warns of harsh measures if Indo China is seized, signaling risk of U.S. entry.
After Britain moved into Moscow, Russian sources and observers with access via shortwave broadcasts challenged German reports.

Patterson, undersecretary of war. Trained workers now in the army may be released when their services are urgently needed in defense industry.
British reports say Moscow shows mixed sentiment on a continent landing while air raids by the RAF intensify, striking Berlin suburbs as nights lengthen.

Washington reports J A Krug has become the central figure for electric power distribution nationwide under the Office of Production Management. Backed by Lilienthal and Olds, Krug could influence whether A plants receive full power or face cuts. The article notes rivalries with Harold Ickes and tensions between OPM and OPAX, reflecting White House caution and wartime coordination.
