Penang also gives the Japanese
an imjK>rtant springboard for a
possible attack on the Netherlands
East Indies island of Sumatra.
It was felt that Hongkong would

as certain.
In commenting on the loss of
Penang, observers stressed that
[the Japanese are scarcely more

supreme efforts are being made
to hold Malaya. Bven at the ex
