This is a new military oom- mand, created to carry Inten- sificd warfare against the Japanese in Burma and is analogous to Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's command in North Africa and Gen. Doug- ias MacArthur'a in the south- west Pacific.

"Ii; has been decided to set up a separate south-east Asia com- mand for the conduct of opera- tions based on India and Ceylon against Japan. It will be an allied command similar to that set up in North Africa.

"The King has been pleased to approve the appointment of acting Vice-Admiral the Lord Iouis Mountbatten. G. C V, 0., D. S. 0., A. D. C., to be supreme allied com- mander, South-east Asia."

The appointment of the former head of the British Commandos to the new command is the first concrete result. of Vthe Quebec conference so far revealed and is 1n line with the decision of Pre- sident Roosevelt and Prime Min- istcr Churchill to step up the tempo oi the war in the Pacific.
