HARD JOB AHEAD TO BEAT JAPS
Stilwell Back from Washington Strategy Conference

CHUNGKING, China, June 15. - Lieut. Gen. Joseph Stilwell, just back from Allied strategy conferences in Washington, said "I feel we have a hell of a hard job ahead" in crushing Japan, but declared the United Nations are thoroughly determined to do the job as soon as possible.

During the Washington confabs, Stilwell said, "China was thoroughly considered and her needs gone into."

He said the constant interchange of information between the Allied leaders in China and the men in charge of the Southwest Pacific theater on the common task of defeating Japan was discussed.

Asked if more supplies are coming to the Orient, Stilwell replied "clearing the Mediterranean will ease up on the shipping situation considerably."

It may now be disclosed that Maj. Gen. Chennault, commander of the Fourteenth Air Force, went to Washington with Stilwell and arrived back in China June 4.
