U.S. SPRINGBOARD IN SOLOMONS
WASHINGTON, August 23.
Senator Millard E. Tydlngs, of the Senate Naval Affairs Committee, said: "The Solomon Islands victory is the most far-reaching Allied achievement toward the defeat of Japan, because it has provided suitable airfields between Australia and Japan from which our planes can prey on Japanese shipping.” He predicted that attacks from the Solomon Islands will conquer the islands held by the Japanese between the Solomons and Japan. He also said he believed that the Solomons victory might postpone a Japanese attack against India, which bad probably been planned for a few weeks hence, when the monsoon ends.
