ALLIED PUSH AGAINST JAPAN AND BOMBING OF TOKIO. DECLARATION BY AMERICAN WAR UNDER-SECRETARY. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.30 p.m.) MELBOURNE, This Day. “Yes, 1 can tell you this—you won’t have to wait long now,” said the United States Under-Secretary for War (Mr R. Patterson) when asked if it were true that an Allied push against the Japanese was imminent. Already pressure against the enemy in the north was steadily increasing, and as that pressure intensified the war would move further and further away from Australia, Mr Patterson added. Military activity inevitably would increase now that the Australians and Americans were getting the i equisite material. Military operations were dependent on supplies, and now the “pipelines” between the SouthWest Pacific area and its sources of supplies were being filled. Asked whether the capture of Japanese bases in the Aleutians made it possible to bomb Tokio, Mr Patterson said: “The bombing of Tokio is coming just as sure as you’re born. Every step nearer we get to Japan brings that day closer.”
