yesterday 16 tanks were destroyed. A report from Pearl Harbour says that Tuesday Japanese positions and installations on Wake Island were heavily attacked by a strong US task force. In New Guinea the Japanese are being pursued. Our air forces are attacking the enemy 50 miles ahead of our troops. The total amount of shipping available to the United Nations amounts to over 50000.000 tons. The collapse of Italy has saved another 500000 tons. There was a little enemy activity over SE England during the night. A small number of casualties and little damage are reported.
