WAR DECLARATION
THAILAND ASSAULT ON BURMA
LONDON, January 26,
Thailand has declared war on the United States and Britain, and has ordered 100,000 Thai troops massed on the border to advance into Burma in co-operation with the Japanese, according to Tokio radio. The Rangoon' correspondent of the Associated Press of Great Britain says that the Allied Air Force in Burma is being continually reinforced with newer model bombers and fighters.
A Rangoon communique states:— "New prearranged positions on the Moulmein front have been taken up by the British forces without interference. The enemy/w«.s thrown back in the initial stages of his attack, but he continued to advance by sheer weight of numbers."
