BIG FORCES REPORTED NORTH OF AUSTRALIA
In Great 1500-Mile Arc WARNING IN GENERAL MACARTHUR’S COMMUNIQUE SYDNEY, March 1. “Our reconnaissance over the past weeks reports constant and growing reinforcements in all categories of enemy strength in the island perimeter enveloping the upper half of Australia. The enemy seems to be concentrating his main effort in preparation on this front. Such an'assemblage of major forces indicates that he is taking up a position in readiness.” This statement in General MacArthur’s communique today is the first official confirmation from the south-west Pacific headquarters that the Japanese have built up threatening strength in the great 1500 miles arc of islands stretching from Celebes to the northern Solomons.
