HERE'S MORE ABOUT
WAR IN PACIFIC

danger Where there is so much smoke there must be
at least little fire.
What if war did suddenly burst upon us? The Amer
can public goes to bed every night secure in the belief
that no nation earth harm us Are we prepared
,ow 10 defend ourselves and our possessions?
Here is what Hector Bywater foremost British naval
critic has to say about it. quote Bywater because he
il neutral--neither American Japanese-and can
speak disinterestedy.
"If America fights in the Pacific it will be, among
other things for the protection what is more likely
for the recovery of the Philippines And to do this she
must be prepared to undertake active naval operations
in the immediate of war, namely the far western
Pacific How this is to be done without local base
facilities is problem which apparently defies solu-
ton
at is certain" he says that in their present defense
less condition both the Philippines and Guam would
become Japanese in the first weeks Of war;
The Japanese strategst Seijro Kawashima, writing
in the Dai Nihon, admits the thing. He says
Japan could take the Philippines and Guam in the event
of war even if the American fleet were in Hawaii when
hostilities began At least he says Japan would risk
everything destroy these two bases to prevent the
United States using them.
Secretary of the Navy Wilbur admits America occu-
pies third place power in the Far East Japan
on the other hand is daily making herself stronger
strong enough to be a match for America and Great
Britain combined Which leads the English authority
above referred to to observe
"For good ILL., the doors of the Far East have been
slammed barred and boed and the keys placed in the
hands of Japan"
TOMORROW: What use will Japan make of the
keys?
