EASY CAPTURE
"The capture of Guam is a

with Guam and the Philip

States would become almost in
solvable. The United States
would he deprived of all her
naval bases In the western Pa

Of the Philippines and Guam
would encourage Japanese sub
marines to cross the Pacific and
attack the western coast of the
United States, cutting off the
supply route between America
and Pearl Harbor. :,
First step in carrying out this
was the capture by The
Japanese of Wake Island an un-
