SOLOMONS VICTORY
FAR-REACHING EFFECT STEP IN ALLIED ADVANCE AMERICAN SENATOR’S VIEW. JAPANESE OFFENSIVE PLANS UPSET. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 1.20 p.m.) WASHINGTON, August 23. According to the United Press, > Senator Millard Tydings, a Naval : Affairs Committee member, said the Solomons victory was a most ' tar-reaching Allied achievement toward Japan’s defeat because it 1 provided suitable airfields between 1 Australia and Japan from which ’ cur planes could prey on Japanese ’ shipping. He further predicted ’ that attacks from the Solomons will conquer Japanese-held islands ’ between the Solomons and Japan, ! l-.us providing stepping stones L carrying the Allied forces gradually northward towards the Philippines and also north-westward towards Asia, finally towards Japan. Senator Tydings also said he believed the Solomons victory may postpone a Japanese attack against India, which probably was planned for a few weeks hence, when the monsoon ends.
