Wavell Warns 0f New Reverses Before Tide Turns Colorado ‘Misfit’ l;ours Attaches Importance to Talks on Peace and Security After War By the Associated Press. > LONDON, Jen. 5—Frankly recog- nizing the contrast between Pritish and Russian forms of government, but declaring it had proved no bar- rier to co-operation in the war against Hitlerism, Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden asserted yesterday that still closer collaboration be- tween London and Moscow “can and will be realized.” In a broadcast statement on his recent visit to the Kremlin, Mr. Eden disclosed that his talks with Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin and Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molo- tov had gone bevond the scope of the present conflict to embrace the terms of a peace which, he said, must “prevent any German aggression in the future.” Mr. Eden declared his visit had shown Russia and Britain to be in complete agreement on all matters relating to the conduct of the war, | and those words, he said, “are not mere diplomatic jargon—they tell the literal and absolute truth. “But personally,” he added. “T at- tach as much importance to the dis- cussions we had on the order of peace and security after the war.” Satisfied With Progress. Naturally, Mr. Eden said, no final conclusions could be reached on that subject without “intimate consulta- tions* with the United States and other allied nations, but he ax- pressed great satisfaction with the progress that had been made, The foreign secretary was warm in his praise for the battle being waged by the Russians against the German invaders and said the Red Army was determined that the Nazis should “pay to the uttermost for the destruction of towns, villages, farms and factories of the Soviet Union.” He sald Hitler's sudden swoop on Russia last June ‘“no doubt had valuable military advantages to be- gin with, but politically it was stark lunacy. “Hitler united all Russia by that | one error. He made the war a cru- sade—a crusade to rid the Soviet Union of the last German.” Still Closer Collaboration. Vaicing his conviction that still closer political collaboration be- tween Britain and Russia could and would be achieved, Mr. Eden sald: “We have to get rid of the legacy of suspicion on both sides. “There is a contrast in the forms of government, but I will never ac- cept that this need divide us. What matters in foreign affairs is not the form of the internal government of any nation, but its international be- havior.” | | HONOLULU.—FISHING BOATS boats tied up at Kewalo Basin were taken into custody by the CONFISCATED—These fishing United States Navy.

Churchill Move Urged To Avert Polifical - Crisis in India ‘Some Bold Stroke’ at Once Asked by Group Of 15 Leaders By the Associated Press. NEW DELHI, India, Jan. 5—A group of 15 distinguished Indian leaders appealed directly to Prime Minister Churchill yesterday for | “some bold stroke of far-sighted | statesmanship without delay” to avert a political crisis in India and insure her full co-operation in Britain's war effort. | | The plea, cabled (o Mr. Churchill | in Washington, was placed above Indian party politics, for none of the | signers is now active in the Congress Party or Moslem League—the two | dominant political factions. | The signers, representing some of | the influential, but less vocal, mod- | erate and liberal circles in Indian | opinion, asked the Prime Minister MOFFETT FIELD, CALIF.—“KEEP 'EM DYING"—This cartoon, depicting a Japanese- soldier within a gunsight, and bearing {Army Receives 2 Planes Confributed by Workers By the Associated Press. HAGERSTOWN, Md,, Jan. 5.—In brief, simple ceremonies, the Army Alr Corps today received two pri- mary training planes donated by workers of the Fairchild Afrcraft plant. Nearly 4.000 employes worked through three shifts yesterday to contribute a day’s pay toward the | purchase. Administrative, engineer- | ing and office workers also con- tributed their wages, while the com- | pany took no profit and met over- | | head costs.. | The contributions will be more | | than the cost of two ships, company | officials said. | 'The planes were presented by J. | | Carlton Ward of New York, com- | | pany president, in ceremonies at the | | No. 2 unit.

Commander, However, Predicts Defeat of Japanese in End B7 the Associated Press. s NEW DELHL India, dan. §—Fur- ther reverses may await Britain and her ailies in the ™ar East before the tide of battle turns, but in the end Japan will go down.to s crushing defeat, says Gen, Sir Archibald P. Wavell, newly-named supreme com- ‘mander of A. B. C. D, forces in the Southwest Pacificy In a farewell interview yesterday before leaving New Delhi to assume his new post, Gen. Wavell likened the situation i1: the Par East in some re! to that which confronted Britain after the fall of France in the summer of 1940. “We must hold on with what we have until we can collect our forces. for the return blow,” he said. Gen. Wavell\ declared the Jap- anese had won the initial advantage “which the murderer, thief or cheat can always gain against an unsus- pecting, decent citizen,” and said the situation could not be reversed with a single stroke. But, ultimately, he declared, “we can throw these Japanese freeboot- ers from the places they have tem- porarily seized.” (In Britain, the press expressed deep satisfaction with Gen. Wa- vell's appointment, but it warned that he should not be expected to do the impossible. Typical was the comment of the Daily Express, which said: “Wavell must have arms and planes from British and American factories. No brilliant strategy out of his head can be a substitute for them.”) Gen. Wavell prepared to leave for | his new headquarters, the location of which was not disclosed. | Chinese Heartily Approve New Unified Command | CHUNGKING, Jan. 5 (# —Chi- nese officials today expressed whole- hearted approval of the new anti- Axis unified command in the Far East with Gen. Sir Archibald P. Wavell as commander in chief. The agreement to place Maj. Gen. George H. Brett, U. S. A, in charge | of the Allied air forces and Admiral Thomas C. Hart, commander of the United States Far Eastern Fleet, in | charge of the combined Far Eastern navies of the United Nations, also drew expressions of approval. | The Chinese were particularly | pleased with the appointment of | | supreme commander of Allied forces in the China theater as showing that | swelling the anti-Axis forces being mustered in Burma.

The pilot was saying: » “We thought the United States Army was not prepared and so was weaker han us, but we knew Amer- ican equipment was much, much better than ours. What'’s happened at Singapore? * * * Well, we thought Singapore would be hard to take, but | the Philippined were lots simplied. | In the air it is not so easy. Your | American and British planes are much faster than ours. We think Russian pilots are not too good. ‘They handle their planes clumsily. But the Americans and British come right at you—very hard.” The Japanese pilot, only 25 years old, had wrenched his back in the | chute Janding, temporarily paralyz- ng his legs. Now, however, he sat hunched up on his bed pufing a cigarette. “I don't know whether an Amer- ican or British plane shot me down,” he said. “I never saw the plane. It came up under me suddenly. | Then my ship was in flames and a wing fell off. Yes, this was the first time I had been in action and my two friends from the bomber had | never been in an air fight before.” | When asked about the rumor that | Japanese pilots had come down in parachutes firing tommyguns, all three registered unfeigned surprise. | “When you're coming down in a parachute you've got too much e]se to worry about without shooting a gun,” the pilot said. The pilot revealed that he did not like Japan's much - touted * Zero fighter. But he admitted that it would stand rougher handling and that there was less danger of its| wings falling off. ‘We remained with the three Jap- anese prisoners for almost an hour and they seemed greatly relieved by this break in the monotony of hav- | ing no one to speak with but them- selves. They confirmed the fact that all Japanese aviators carry | cameras, fishing equipment and' contraceptives, all of which have been found in fallen Japanese planes in Burma. When leaving they urged Maj. Merrill to revisit them. | “I'm to busy, thanks to activities | of the Japanese Army,” smiled the | major. | ‘The pilot combined frankness with courtesy in his reply. “We are glad that our army is | Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek as| doing so well,” he said, “but sorry | you are so busy.” | In leaving I still had the impres- | cup to the waitress, sure to get rid of this.” Poison in Coffee to Die By the Associated Press, ALAMOSA, Colo., Jan. 5.—John Drury, 25, and five friends strolled into a lunchroom last night and ordered coffee.
