JAPAN FEELING EFFECT. OF SEVERE LOSSES IN PACIFIC. (By Telegraph—(Press Association— Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.15 a.m.) NEW YORK, December 23. The Japanese are beginning to feel the effects of the war of attrition in the Pacific, says Mr Hanson Baldwin, writing in the “New York Times.” “In the past year,” he adds, _ “sinkings of Japanese merchant shipping have exceeded the rate of construction and the Japanese Navy has suffered severe losses, particularly in aircraft-car-riers. However Japanese air power felt the greatest strain. Japan has lost 1.500 planes in the Solomons campaign alone. Her aircraft losses are possibly greater than, her replacements, which are only twelve hundred monthly.
