though the enemy's resistance has stiffened on the
West coast as well as in the Central Sector.
On Germany's Eastern front Soviet forces
are steadily smashing their way through the
deep Finnish defenses in the Karelian Isthmus.
In the South West Pacific the American
forces on Biak off Dutch New Guinea have
resumed their advance Westward from the
Mokmer airfield and were last reported
within several thousand yards of one of the
two remaining airfields in Japanese hands.
Allied aircraft have made another successful
swoop on Japanese shipping in Geelvink Bay
at the Western end off Dutch New Guinea.
They sank 4 cargo ships and 3 coastal
vessels. Today is being observed in Britain
as as United Nation's Day and Mr. Churchill
in a message to mark the occasion
emphasizes the need for unity which he
said can alone make final victory
possible.
