Indicative Importance is attached to the United States Navy's patrol of Philippine territorial waters. It is learned that the Asiatic Fleet has abandoned its annual summer visit to Chino, at least until the middle of July. The Acet at
nt present is carrying out extensive manoeuvres in
the south of the Philippines.
Two thousand two hundred sol- diers, which will be the largest single contingent ever to arrive in Manila, are due here in the first week of May aboard the steamship Washing- ton. The authorities are rushing completion to dozens of new bar- recita to house 1,000 more soldiers which are expected to arrive prior to the rainy season in the middle of June.
Supply Line To Red Sea
The United States supply line to Red Sea is expected to follow the trans-Pacific route at present used for supplies to China via Rangoon to Honolulu thence over a route which the Navy will designate to Manila and Singapore. However, should the south Pacife be considered safe from raiders, some
quarters believe that the alternate route would be from Honolulu to Samoa, thence to Singapore where the British would take over the convoy.
The current addition of Consoli- dated naval bombers to Singapore is expected to enable the British to carry out widespread patrols from Singapore. The United States Navy ls using the same type of
for extensive patrol in the sombe
Philippine Archipelago at present.
Military circles here believe that the absence of reports of further commerce raiders in the south Pacific may be the result of combined efforts of the Australlan and Dutch navies.
It is learned that Dutch destroyers and cruisers which were stationed at Sacrabaya recently, are making ex- tended training cruises" reportedly as far as Samoa.
Supplies To China
Reliable statistics of the amount of American supplies that have been landed in Rangoon is unavailable here. Best Informed circles Shanghai believe that the volume reaching tangoon and ultimately China has been an important stimu Tunt for continued Chinese resistance, but has been too meagre to effect | the war's ultimate outcome.
In order to launch an offensive against the Japanese with any hope of success Chungking would need not
only
a vastly increased volume, of modern weapons and supplies of many kinds, but also time and techni cal assistance to train the Chinese armles to use them.
Under the existing conditions Chinese observers believe the best to be expected will be for China to maintain the present stalemate and avold collapse which would disengage the bulk of Chinese forces now in China.
According to present indications, Generalisshino Chiang Kai-shek can be counted upon to do this..
