SOUTH-WEST PACIFIC
ALLOCATION OF AMERICAN RESOURCES. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) SYDNEY, November 17. “The South-West Pacific has something less than 5 per cent of United States military resources, and is now receiving something less than 10 per cent of what the United States is shipping overseas. This is more than formerly.” A spokesman at General MacArthur’s headquarters today made this reply when asked to comment on a recent statement by Rear-Admiral W. H. Young, of the United States Navy, that American supplies were now reaching the South-West Pacific in quantities sufficient for large-scale operations against the Japanese. Saying that he was reluctant to discuss the subject, the spokesman added that the percentage for air resources was somewhat lower than those stated above. Without complaint, the area was doing everything it could with what it had.
