ONE SOUR NOTE
Mr. Cur tin's Remark About South-west Pacific "HANDS OF MERE CARETAKER" (Rec. 2 p.m.) NEW YORK, Jan. 28. The Allies have again emphasised their decision to smash Germany before they turn on Japan, declares the New York Daily News, adding, "Nothing the Australian Prime Minister or anybody else says can change that decision. "Mr. Curtin's remark about the South-west Pacific being in the hands of a mere caretaker was one of the few sour notes in the Casablanca symphony." Other American newspapers share the view that the Casablanca conference affirmed the Allied decision to smash Hitler first. The Manchester Guardian says, "We can be sure that the Pacific will come in for a good share of those pooled resources of men and material the use of which was marshalled by the Casablanca conference.
"Australia and New Zealand will note that when President Roosevelt and Mr. Churchill spoke of 'unconditional surrender* as the only end to the war they will tolerate they bracketed the destruction of the evil power of Japan with that of Germany and Italy."
