Japan appeared seemingly stymied today in the drive
for Australia by floods in New Guinea and mounting loss-
es in warships und planes.
In the invasion of Arc, north of Australia, the Japa-
nese made a 27-mlle withdrawal to New Guinea from
Markham Valley bases, ahead of the floods rolling down
the mountain sides, while other footholds and sea com-
munications were menaced by the growing strength of the
American-Australian air team.
Australia’s Air Minister said one-tenth of Japan’s
cruiser strength had been crippled and in recent weeks
the Japanese had lost 48 bombers and fightsrs.
