Main Jap Rush Definitely Stemmed Say Experts
Washington April 7 experts say the recent Japanese offensive has stalled after four months of rapid advances. Allied air power in Australia and India is judged to have blunted the big push, though Japan may still threaten new drives in Siberia or the Pacific if air superiority shifts. Japanese pilots excel but American pilots often outfight them. Philippines remains a vulnerable theatre with Corregidor potentially holding only briefly. A possible next move could target Russia to pressure the Red Army.
