Tables Turned On Japs.

(Rec. 12.50 p.m.) NEW YORK, Sept. 30. The Allies will soon have the whole Huon Peninsula, New Guinea, as a springboard for a final assault on New Britain and Rabaul, says the "New York Times.” “Thanks to our domination of the air, each step ‘we take by land and sea is longer than the last. The Japanese find their own tactics of infiltration and outflanking, applied so successfully on the ground in conquest of their new empire, now turned against them, so that they are rapidly being dislodged from strong positions on a scale which steadily widens the field of their reverses. Strongholds which formerly would have taken months merely to reach are suddenly invested or attacked from the rear by air-borne troops supported and supplied from the air.” To Japanese Homeland The “London Evening Standard” says that war in the Far East has reached a psychological turning point. "Yet we are still a long way from Tokio, whether by land or sea. It is only an offensive which carries us to the Japanese homeland that will destroy Japanese morale finally and forever.”
