SYDNEY COMMENT

APPROVAL OF ANALYSIS.

AUSTRALIA TOO FAR AWAY. (Special Australian Correspondent.) SYDNEY, October 7. “It is difficult to quarrel with this analysis,” says the Sydney “Telegraph,” commenting editorially on Lieut.-Col-onel Wildman’s assessment that the only realistic approach to Japan is via Burma and China and that an offensive from Australia is too roundabout. “The huddled concentration of life and industry in Japan’s tiny island offers highly vulnerable targets,” says the paper. “Our problem is to find bases to keep up a sustained attack on these targets.” “Australia is too far away. To gain bases near Japan by an offensive from Australia would presuppose the war lasting many years. The quickest approach is that which Colonel Wildman describes. There are signs that the opening of (his attack (a drive to push the Japanese out of Burma, open the Burma Road and resume the flow of war material to China) may not now bo long delayed.”
