Ufa can never be quite the same again.

Until I aee and talk with the President, I have only this to say: "That American soldiers, assisted by Filipino troops, are lighting magnificently. Their morale Is top-notch. "Whenever they have a chance) to fight on equal terms, they are outfighting the Japanese. "That the war catt never be won irerely by gigantic planning nor by time. Need HHp Once.

Crimea Inflicted on Pole. The Polish charges form part of a note addressed to the Allied and neutral governments by the Polish foreign office and et forth a atory of barbaric brutality.

Mans Starvation. Th Jaoaneae government has denied all these charges. There is another elss of atrocity which is being conducted so openly that the whole world can see It plainly.

That la the atarvation of entire populations through the stripping of their countries of food. To me this Is much more terrible than the Infliction of quick death by the bayonet which, compared with the alow torture of hunger, la a humane act Muss atarvation Is widespread throughout Europe because countries have been robbed of their food supplies, but the example most often cited la that of poor Greece. Creek officials In Cairo on Monday estimated that starvation, exposure and executions had taken a toll of 130,000 to 200,000 Uvea In Greece In less than a year of German-Italian occupation. In February deaths In the city of Athens alone reportedly reached 1,500 daily.

When we docked at the Australian port, thousands of Australians lined the shore to give the Americans a greeting which will long be remembered. The ship on which I was a passengera former Dutch luxury liner was commandeered at the port and Its valuable cargo of dozens of warplanes unloaded to the great delight of the Australians at the wharf, who muttered over and over: "Everything Is going to be all right now. Thank God, the Yanks are here at last." No Americans were lonely over the holidays. That I can guarantee.

For even tnougn tne presence oi thfi AEP vraa suDDOSed to be the darkest kind of secret, hundreds of Australians opened their homes for gala Christmas and New Year's celebrations.

All this happened despite the fact that our presence was a secret so far as Australian newspapers were concerned.

(INS) (No Reason to Doubt) I was the only newspaper man aboard the first United States convoy bringing American troops to Australia.

The eailv oainted ships, flourish' lnar red. white and blue flags, were hastily converted in the space of a few hours to dinghy gray troop ships bent on a war errand of ut most importance. For days we roamed the South Pacific, waiting war developments and afraid to venture near the Japanese mandated islands.
