FOR QUICK RESULTS TRY A NEWS WANT ADD, WEDNESDAY. AUGUST EDITORIAL Battle for the Solomon Islands . . . Whether the Allied attack on the most easterly of the Japanese-occupied Solomon Islands proves a complete! i i i Ti. i i success or not, its mouve is quue ciear. u is a iucai ujitr-ation, on a relatively small scale, designed primarily to push the enemy further from the American-Australian ocean routes. A secondary and almost equally valuable result would be to upset any plans the Japanese had made to encroach on or to invade Australia's northern coasts. That the assault is the forerunner of a large-scale Allied attack in the southwest Pacific, aimed at recapturing all the islands taken by the enemy, is unlikely. The forces available to General MacArthur are; strong, but hardly large enough to undertake such a bigi job. ! The task facing the Allies north ana west of Australia is very different from that the Japanese, fleet faced.' They struck when they were ready and' the United Nations were not. The Allies lacked sufficient air and sea power in that area, while the enemy had' plenty of both, especially as he was able to concentrate swiftly for each new blow. Then the Allied strength wa& diffused in an effort to provide some, but always inadequate, protection for each island and peninsula. The Solomon Islands battle will prove a helpful victory if the Japanese are driven from no more than the easterly half of the chain. Recent sinkings of Allied ship?, reported to the east of Australia suggested the enemy was making good use of his air and submarine bases in the Solomon and nearby islands. That the Japanese had planned an assault on Australia is doubtful. They would gain little of present advan tage even if they held the whole north shore of the island continent. But a realistic threat of invasion might pin down Allied forces in Australia, thus allowing the enemy to pursue more ambitious ventures elsewhere. Concentration of Japanese forces along the Russian border continues, and at the opposite end of the long line down in Burma greater activity has been noted also. It rtould be surprising if Tokio made no move to exploit theJresults of Gandhi's subversive agitations in India. pStragetically, Japan might reap a richer harvest if it could conquer India than if it pressed into Siberia. With the Nazis storming into the Caucasus and perhaps .able to stage a break-through into Iran, Tokio might well decide to gamble on a supreme effort to smash Britain's defences in India and get to the Iranian oil fields before their friends the Nazis could. About the worst thing that could happen to the Allies would be to lose India and the Middle East, and with them their great natural resources and command of the Indian Ocean and the eastern Mediterranean. They would be hard hit even if Japan pushed into India only as far as the Ganges and Calcutta, for this is a great Indian manufacturing zone and its loss would also isolate China completely. Next month the monsoon season draws to a close, and India's eastern borders may then see heavy fighting.
