VALIANT EFFORTS
MADE BY THE DEFENDERS OF BURMA AGAINST OVERWHELMING NUMBERS. AND WITHOUT AIR SUPPORT. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, April 8..

Their tactics, which are being faithfully carried out, are to delay the enemy as much as possible, inflict as much loss as possible, and get back before they are surrounded. It is only in the air that the Japanese are having things all their own way on this particular front. member the’evil things against which Britain is fighting, and the “Manchester Guardian” records that one of the subjects most frequently heard in street conversations in London yesterday was an American Senator’s remark: “It will not be long now before American bombs fall on Tokio.”
