WHERE IT IS LOCATED
The Great Barrier Reef is built
of coral and is a chain of islands
which extends along the north-
eastern coast ol Australia for more
than a thousand miles.

The Berlin radio broadcast a
Tokyo dispatch saying repres-
entatives of the "Indian Inde-
pendence party" from Hong-
kong, Malaya, Thailand and
Shanghai — all under Japan's
thumb — would convene in
Tokyo on March 28.
"Definite measures will be un-
dertaken in aid of the Indian in-
dependence movement," t h e
broadcast said.
Other major developments:
Australia — Gen. Douglas Mac-
Arthur. Allied supreme command-
er in the southwest Pacific, paid
his first visit to Australia's cap-
ital and immediately conferred
with Prime Minister John Curtin
on plans for defense of the "down
under” continent and for an ul-
timate offensive against Japan.
Members of the United Nations
war council attended the meet-
ing, paving the way for impor-
tant military sessions next week
In Washington, it was an- j
nounced that President Roosevelt J
had ordered the notion’s highest ;
award for valor, a congressional j
medal of honor, sent to Gen. ;
MacArthur for “his utter disre- j
gard of personal danger under
heavy fire ... his calm judgment
in each crisis.”
Burma — British headquarters I
reported mounting Japanese pres- j
sure against Allied lines from the j
south and east, with enemy para- j
chute troops seeking to foment j
native revolt.
In addition to active opera- |
tions in the region of Chinese-
held Toungoo, 150 miles north of
the Japanese-occupied capital, a
British communique told of inva-
sion concentrations at two points
to the west, in the Minhla-Thar-
rawaddy area and north of Kyan-
gin.
The latter partly was official-
ly described as a large mixed
force heading towards Prome, 40
miles away, and Burmese oil
fields.
While transport difficulties of
the United Nations were tremen-
dous, Japan was reported to
be facing a shipping problem in
any further extension of her pro-
gram of conquest.
“Free Europe,” Allied review of
international affairs, which is
published in London estimated
bombs, shells and torpedoes of
Australian - British - Dutch -
United States forces had knocked
out of action about 1,000.000 of
the 4,000,000 tons of shipping the
Japanese originally were said to
have had available for troop
movements.
The publication did not touch
upon possible invasion gains
through seizure of Allied craft,
but said Japan “must exercise
caution, for about 130.000 tons of
shipping are needed to transport
a modern division with equip-
ment."
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON, March 26—
(H>\—The broad outline of the of-
fensive operations which sooner
or later will carry the war to
Japan is beginning to take shape
here in reports from the vast Pa-
cific-Asiatic battle area telling of
increasing Allied activity in In-
dia and Australia and of Amer-
ican naval actions far west of
Hawaii.
It indicates, in the opinion of
military and naval strategists,
that when the big push finally
i comes it will lash out from loui
, main quarters — China, India,
Australia and Hawaii — with the
objective of putting so much
pressure on Japan at so many
i points simultaneously that her
i scattered and divided forces will
j be unable to resist effectively.
The great problem now facing
the Allies in preparation for this
offensive, strategists said, is still
one ol time and supplies — the
problem of getting enough fully
equipped troops in action before
the enemy can consolidate his ter-
ritorial conquests, or exploit his
booty of raw materials for arms
production purposes.
The formidable character of
the United Nations’ task cannot
be overemphasized, these author-
I ities stressed, but they noted with
guarded satisfaction that it .was
thetic rubber.
The company, six subsidiar-
ies and three top officials were
fined a total of $50,000 for vio-
lation of the anti-trust law.
They pleaded nolo contendere.
Arnold said ho wished the case
to be considered not as one which
singled out the Standard Oil com-
pany of New Jersey "as a dram-
atic” illustration of the vicious-
ness of an industrial practice that
restricts production in order to
dominate the market."
“Such practices,” he told the
committee, “must not be allow-
ed to continue because they di-
rectly hamper war production.
"We must uncover the practices
during the war when they are
hurting us . . . they must not be
allowed to be reinstated after the
War or we will find ourselves in
the same situation all over again.
Arnold said that there was
"essentially no difference be-
tween what the Standard Oil
of New Jersey has done in this
case and what other companies
did in restricting the produc-
tion of magnesium, aluminum,
tungsten carbide- drugs, dye
stuffs and a variety of other
critical materials vital for the
war.”
Arnold said he believed that
yesterday’s consent decree would
be “a substantial contribution to
KUNMING Chinn. March 26
— i,Vi Brig. Gen Claire L. Cheii-
nault’s Hying tigers have brought
to Kunming mote of the United
States than can be seen In nil the
rest of free China but they're
found that to ‘ live American” In
this ancient city is expensive bus-
iness.
Here are a few typical prices,
in American money;
Coffee — $6 a pound.
American toothpaste, large tube
— $4
Tin of 50 American cigarets —
$7.
Other items in the luxury class ;
rangt from Scotch whiskey at j
$45 a bottle to milk at $2 for a i
12-ounce can. Cheese brings $12
i a pound.
Gasoline $3.50 a gallon — but
j cannot be bought without a spe-
j cial permit.
In other lines, there are socks
for $3 a pair; it is hard to get a
i second-hand sweater for less
I than $25; and a new portable
typewriter sells for $370.
The Flying Tigers, as airmen of
the American volunteer group are
called, lend an American touch
to Kunming in many ways.
The streets of the city seldom
are without at least one of their
gray-green cars, jeeps or trucks,
all with a white painted ”A.V.-
G” proclaiming ownership of Chi-
na’s first foreign legion of the air.
After working hours, a sprinkl-
ing of the American group can
always bo seen in shops, cafes ot
in Kunming’s lone motion picture
theater.
The hostels of the Flying Tigers
are little American islands in the
Orient. Except for Chinese serv-
ants and portraits of Generalis-
simo Chiang Kai-Shek they could
as well be in the Sierra Nevada
as in China.

all angles throughout the far-
flung Pacific theatre. Among the
most important evidences of pro-
gress, they listed the following:
1. The increasing flow of sup-
plies to General Douglas MacAr-
thur's command. This already has
enabled his forces, in coo|<eration
with the navy, to deal smashing
— perhaps crippling—blows to one
great Japanese invasion threat
massing off New Guinea, and to
prepare for whatever subsequent
thrust may be loosed against
Australia itself.
2. The accelerated prepara-
tions fur the defense of India, in-
cluding the recently-announced
Washington decision to send a
supply mission there. With the
loss of the Burma road, India
became the chief route for mov-
ing munitions to China so that
her defenders now guard not on-
ly Britain’s wealthiest colony but
also China's lifeline.
In this connection, strategists
| deplored the loss of the Andaman
I Islands in the Bay of Bengal to the
Japanese, as announced yesterday
in New Delhi. The islands com-
mand the approaches to Calcut-
ta. most convenient port of entry
for China-bound shipments, and
the islands' loss was viewed here
as meaning that supplies now
must be moved through other
ports, probably those on the Arab-
ian Sea, and thence over longer
land routes to China.
3. The unshaken determina
tion to keep material reinforce-
ments moving to China which
needs only modrn weapons lor ;
her vast manpower resources.
Adequately armed, the Chinese
should be able to drive the Jap-
anese out of east China areas
suitable ldr establishment of
bomber bases from which aerial
attacks may be launched against
Japan proper.
4. The persistent and success-
ful Pacific fleet task force oper-
ations such as the January 31
raid on the Marshall and Gilbert
islands, the February 24 attack
on Wake island and the March
4 bombardment of Marcus island.
