Allied Position Stronger
LONDON, Sept. 1. “The Allied successes in New Guinea and the Solomons have strengthened the Allied position. The Japanese can hardly think seriously of invading India while they are heavily engaged in the South Pacific,” said General Stilwell, commander of the United States forces in China, in an interview at New Delhi. He added: “The situation in India is considerably impro.ved. I have always believed this theatre most important. Jt is still the best way to get at Japan. No doubt the first step must be the re-oc-cupation of Burma, after which China would again become an asset.”
General Stilwell added that he believed the Japanese were preparing to attack Siberia.
