SOLOMONS VICTORY
FAR-REACHING ACHIEVEMENT
(Ree. 1.20 p.m.)
WASHINGTON, August 23. According to the United Press Senator Millard Tydings, a Naval Affairs Committee member, said the Solomon Island victory wa.s_ the most farreaching Allied achievement towards .Japan’s defeat, because it provided suitable airfields between Australia and Japan from which our pianos could prey on Japanese shipping. He further predicted that attacks from the Solomons will conquer the Japanese-held islands. between the Solomons and
Japan, thus providing stepping stones for carrying the Allied forces gradually northward towards the Philippines, also north-westward towards Asia and finally towards Japan. Mr Tydings also believed that the Solomons victory may postpone the Japanese attack against India, which is probably planned for a few weeks hence, when the monsoon ends.
