"MUST HAVE AIR SUPERIORITY"
MELBOURNE, April 15. "We must have air superiority, otherwise our naval and land forces will be subject to a test beyond-their resources," declared the Prime Minister, Mr Curtin, in a statement issued following a meeting of the Australian War Cabinet to-day. Mr Curtin added that he supported every word of General MacArthur. " Ever since the Casablanca conference and its reaffirmation of Allied global strategy of concentration upon, the defeat of Hitler first," said Mr Curtin, " the Japanese have realised that time is on their side in the Pacific. This means that an opportunity is being provided Japan to concentrate upon the Pacific theatre."
