Britain Took Risks In East, Relying on U. §., Sinclair Says English Air Chief Denies Thot Jopanese Strength Was Underestimated BY the Associated Press. LONDON, Jan. 8.—Air Minister Sir Archilbald Sinclair declared in | a luncheon speech today that Brit- ain had not underestimated the strength of Japan, but undertook | the risks in the Far East campaign | with full confidence in United States help “Certainly we took risks in the Far East,” he asserted, “but we took them with our eyes wide open— | with confidence in the support | which we should obtain from the powerful armed forces of the United States if Japan were guilty of an act of aggression. “That confidence will not have been misplaced.” The Air Minister added that “the United States, too, has run risks to help us in the struggle against Nazi Germany.” Took Risks to Aid Russia. “We took these risks,” “in order to help heroic Russia in her extremity and to beat German and Italian armies in North Af- rica.” Sir Archibald said those “who blame for our reverses in the Far East alleged complacency of the government in underestimating the strength of Japan are beside the mark.” “The eomplacent ones,” clared, “are those who persist in underestimating the power of our two formidable enemies—Germany and Italy—and who do not realize that in order to fight them, our re- sources were stretched to the ut- most. “Against & policy of dispersal of eur available resources we have preferred concentration on the Russian and North African fronts— 8 policy which already has obtained for us greater freedom of strategic | he said,| he de-| maneuver than we possessed & month or two ago.” Far East Support Pledged. The Air Minister added, however, that Allied squadrons now operat- ing in the Far East “are not going to be left unsupported.” | Of Britain’s home front, he said the R. A. F. “is carrying the battle of the Atlantic into the enemy's camp by sinking his own supply ships” in addition to helping the | navy keep open vital communica- | tions to the United States. The Air Minister's speech came only 24 hours after members of Parliament made clear that they | were ?fep'"d to shower the gov- ernmernt with questions as to the | adequacy of air preparations in the Far East and to demand assurance ’that precautions were being taken to prevent the loss of further vital battlefront air bases. ) R. A. F. Made Force Felt. He said that by sweeps over Northwestern France and Germany the R. A. F. “alone among the armed forces of the British crown was able to make its weight felt in the Rus- sian battle.” Protecting forces necessary in the west left the Germans “with fewer than half their fighter squadrons” on the Russian front “avgilable to 8shoot down the deadly Russian Stormovik dive bomber which was attacking their troops, tanks and transport.” Britain, he said, quantities of aircraft. crews to man them.” He blamed the weather for re- stricting the bombing of Germany this winter, but added “the time is not remote when we shall be able “needs great The Moedel Housewife Always Serves JAVA-MOCHA | SWING CO.
