WAR WITH JAPAN
NEW ZEALAND PREMIER SATISFIED. CHURCHILL & ROOSEVELT ALIVE TO DANGERS. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. “While I am sure that there Will be general agreement that the major Strategy of concentrating on the defeat of Germany is correct, New Zealand and Australia must insist on the possible danger of underestimating Japan and her forces in the South and South-west Pacific,” said the Prime Minister, Mr Fraser, when asked yesterday for his views on Mr Churchill’s statement that definite priority was to be given to defeating Hitler before embarking on the decisive stage against Japan. “From information received,” said Mr Fraser, “it is apparent that Mr Churchill and Mr Roosevelt are fully alive to this danger and that the Pacific situation was ever present in their minds at Casablanca. I am confident that adequate support will be provided during the present year for the American, Australian and New Zealand forces in both areas to ensure that the Japanese will not only be held in their present line in the Pacific Islands but will be forced back.”
