BOLD STROKE
PROBABLE IN NEAR FUTURE PREDICTIONS IN UNITED STATES. INCREASE IN EXPEDITIONARY FORCE. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) NEW YORK, May 30. The increasing size of the American Expeditionary Force abroad indicates that immediate action is contemplated on such a scale as to produce the second front which the Russians desire, says the official journal, “Army and Navy Register.” It adds: “There is no doubt that now is the logical time to strike against the Nazis and Japs, and a bold stroke is probable in the very near future.” The Under-Secretary for War, Mr Patterson, in a speech today said that America was producing a vast number of planes which would soon fill the skies over the Nazis and shake the ground beneath their feet. He predicted that Tokio will receive another visit from American bombers. Brigadier-General Doolittle, he said, had been surveying the ground and at the same time had somewhat changed the layout of the place, but he had left enough that would be recognisable when the next party went over.
