NEW POSITIONS
TAKEN UP BY ALLIES IN BURMA OBJECTIVES NOT ACHIEVED. BUT SOME ADVANTAGES GAINED. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.20 a.m.) LONDON, March 24. Allied forces in Burma after their failure to crush Japanese positions at the tip of the Mayu Peninsula and to hold their own positions between the Arakan and Mau rivers, must now readjust their lines, an associated Press correspondent in Calcutta says. They must take up positions which can be supplied during the monsoon, which can be expected within a few weeks. Despite their failure to achieve their objectives, the Allies’ operations have frustrated any plan the Japanese may have had for invading India before the monsoon. They have also given valuable experience in jungle warfare.
