JAPANESE AIR FORCE
 
      
Evidence following the DARWIN raid indicates that the probable 
      distribution of Japanese heavy bombers is as follows:
 
      BALI - One Squadron (12 aircraft)
 
      KENOARI - Four "
 
      RABAUL - One " /AMBON- Three Squadrons
 
      PALEMBANG - Number uncertain
 
      There are also indications that the reinforcements in south-east 
      BORNEO, CELEBES, and MOLUCCAS area have been withdrawn mainly 
      from South INDO-CHINA.

FINLAND
 
      
GERMANY has promised FINLAND a monthly allowance of 20,000 
      tons of bread grain and 1,O00 tons of butter for the next 6 months. 
      While this will not lead to any substantial increase in the Finnish 
      scale of rations, which are exceedingly small compared with those 
      in GERMANY, it should prevent such a deterioration in the food 
      position as might seriously affect FINLAND's will and power to 
      remain a combatant.
