BRITAIN'S MASTER BOMBING PLAN
NEW YORK, Oct. 1 (Reuter) Officiat
Britain's cat statements on
master bombing plan, are the main stories of most of the New York morning newspapers.
Discussing the plan, the London correspondent of the New York Herald-Tribune says that the Air Ministry is seemingly turning a dear, ear to sittingroom strategists who keep up the clamour for re- prisals and it is gradually dawning on more and more Britons that the R. A. F. motive for avoiding Ber- lin, is not only humanitarian.
We may be confident that air dominance is within our grasp; Fear of such mastery must have compelled the Dictators at Brenner to seek some means of striking at the Empire in the Near East.
Whatever form the confict will ultimately, que ve, most assure ourselves of tummand of the al in the West. Thereafter the war- making "capacity of Germany and her feeble vassal Italy cannot long maintain the struggle."

AXIS PEACE OFFENSIVE APPEARS MATERIALISING
BERNE, Oct. 1 (Reuter)-The Axis peace offensive, following the Brenner conference now appears to be materialising.

After struggling for three years to subdue China and getting-more deeply involved economically every month, Japan's swashbuckling de- clarations that the United States supports the status quo in the Par: East at its perii, arouses only sardonic laughter among American officials who are aware of the situation.
Japan is felt to be banking on the political dificulties of the United States but as Col. Knox declared, the American pubile has never taken kindly to attempts at intimidation.
If Japan wishes to make a suicidal attack on the United States, it is stressed here that the United States Fleet will be found ready and Japan's hopes that Isolationist opinion will prevent any firm stand being made will according to best observers, be found to be a fatal miscalculation.
