- Lord Ironside Says:
Japs Seek Areas
With Oil to Bar
future Shortage
British Destroying
Plants but Speedy
Replacement Is Seen
(Anglo-American tactics at
present must be aimed at limit
ing initial Japanese gains as
much as possible by hard fight
ing, Field Marshal Lord Iron
side. former chief of the imperial
general staff, writes today in
his weekly war analysis for
International News Service.)
By FIELD MARSHAL
LORD IRONSIDE
Written E* pad illy for lnt’l New* B«rvlc*
LONDON, D*c. 19- This s*rond
week of war In the Far East has
brought steady development of the
Japanese plans.
They have effected a landing In
Northern Sarawak at an Impor
tant oil station. Our local detach
ments destroyed the wells and
refining plants before withdrawing.
We may expect further landings
on Rritish and Dutch territories at
similar points in the weeks to
come, for aviation spirit (gasoline)
is the one prime necessity to
Japan.
Destruction such as wo have
carried out vill deprive them of
the use of tins most important
spirit for a matter of weeks, but
we may be sure that duplicate
plants arc already on the spot.
BUILDING AIRDROMES
Thailand the Japanese are
their airdromes north
ward with the apparent help of
Thailand forces. But so far heavy
air bombardment cf the port of
Rangoon and the Burma road has
not materialized.
In North Malaya, heavy fight
ing continues. The Japanese man
aged to enlarge their lodgment on
the west coast and our troops are
reforming at the southern edge of
Kedah province, almost opposite
the island of Penang.
The Japanese therefore are able
to take pussewion of two important
urdromes tn the west beside Kota
Bahru in the east. They need air
dromes not only to bring our naval
tvr« closer to air bombardment
hut in order to continue their ad
' rice to the south.
DEFENDERS REINFORCED
It Is vital to us to keep the
emy as far north ns possible—
ey are now just 400 miles away
ind our forces there are beings
trongly reinforced now' that it
■ ms clear the Japanese are
.'hing their advance from here
it her than trying to make more
indlngs further south.
Hongkong is now isolated All
1 r garrisons are hack on the
land. Great Victoria Harbor is
under gunfire from concealed
artillery on the mainland and it is
therefore of little economic use to
us
The colony has been called upon
to surrender three times and has
refused Obviously Hongkong can
not withstand a long siege despite
1 he efforts of Chinese troops near
Canton to relieve the situation
But it is important that it should
make the ern my pay dearly in
time and life before he gets it
he do* s
HOI LI) PROVIDE BASE
Fsery moment of delay in ♦he
Japanese plan is of value and it
must rot l>e fotgotten that Hong
kong in Japanese hands would
constitute for them a naval base
of first importance; a base far
immediate use against thp Philip
pines and for preventing our con
* entration in this area
Beinc thrown imon a strategic
defense is trying on the nerves of
every arte most of all those of the
general public. We all require the
utmost patience and courage,
while combined action is being
concerted
Each portion of our exposed
forces must be prepared to fight
hard, knowing that every day or
week gained is of value.
The Japanese are planning out
the most difficult of all operations
- an overseas expedition with
long, exposed communications
Until we can concentrate our
naval and air forces in a vital
area to upset and destroy these
communication* we must expect
to remain upon the defensive.
But the minute we can so con
centrate. the military situation
will alter.
The initial Japanese gains will
take their projier proportion.
At the moment all we can do is
to limit these gains as much as
possible hv hard fighting.
