He summarized the situation as follows: (1) The Germans have failed in all of* their main objectives for the year in Russia and will have to withdraw from wide areas unless they can stop the Russian counter-offensive. (2) “The allies are building up strong assault forces in Tunisia to oust the Axis, but the enemy there will “offer a strong resistance.’’ (3) American and Australian troops have cornered substantial numbers of Japenese troops between Gona and Buna in New Guiena. (4) Although weather conditions make extensive activity difficult in the Aleutians, American fliers are doing everything possible to harass the enemy. Navy Secretary Knox said it is unlikely the Japanese can get reinforIcements into Guaradcanal. Australian troops, advancing on ‘Buna, have smashed Japanese counterattacks, while allied. bombers blasted enemy gun nests and morta emplacements, Gen., MacAmthur’s ‘New Guinea headquarters ‘reported November 28.
