1t could be potent factor in the war.
The Pacific war, judged by standards
set up in the worlds library of naval
strategy, probably will resolve into major
fleet maneuvers in the western theater,
between fleets based on Singapore and
Manila and the Japanese fleet based on
its home ports.
In addition, the huge area involved
makes a repetition of surprise raids by
both sides likely. With luck. light craft
can approach an objective for hit-and-
run action without detection, from vast
areas hard to patrol adequately.
There's one factor, though, that runs
against Japan. Even the defeat of the

Somewhere between the areas Of

A Japanese attack on our island 'step-
ping stones" from Hawaii to the Philip
pine Islands long has been feared by our
naval and military strategists. That Is
why they urgently sought funds for es-
tablishment Of naval and air bases on
them. The Hepburn Board recommended
extensive fortihcation Of Guam In its
report in 1888, declaring that the island
was vital to the defense of the Philip
pines, Hawaii and the continental United
States. Congress declined to appropriate

japan Called Sure Loser
But u S. Realizes War Will Not Be Any Picnic

Last Sunday the Japanese struck at
the United States with a well-prepared
raid on its possessions in the Pacific.
Hidden behind the smoke screen of
diplomatic protestations of good will and
friendship, their aircraft swept over
Hawaii and loosed their bombs, inflicting
losses on the American Army, Navy and
Air Force.
The war in the Pacific resembles
horse race in which plug, ridden by
ruthless jockey, takes the lead against
a thoroughbred. In sprint the plug
might have a chance, but in long race
he is found to trail badly, if he finishes
at all.
Japan is the plug and Herr Hitler the
Jockey. Hitler has dug his spurs deeply
into Nippon's flank and started her
Jump ahead of the United States. Then,
in fulfillment Of his tripartite pact. he
has brought Germany and Italy formally
into the fray.
Suicidal Aggression.
Japan attacked the United States be-
cause the military leaders who control
the destiny of that unfortunate country
were terrified at the prospect of losing
their grip. They plunged into suicidal
aggression because they feared that
thinkers among japanese politicians
might take advantage of the country's
distressed economic situation to wrest
power from them and come to terms
with the United States.
The raid on American possessions in
the Pacific had many humiliating
aspects. The Japanese performed their
task without meeting the whitening fire
which our coastal batteries, the warships
based at Pearl Harbor and our pursuit
and interceptor planes could have un-
leased against them.
Japanese war plans apparently are
made in Berlin The raid on Hawaii and
the other American possessions was
aimed not only at military objects, but
was intended to create panic among
Americans, which, it was hoped, would
compel the United States to concentrate
principal efforts in the Pacific.
The bulk of American plane produc-
ton, it was anticipated by Berlin, would
be used in that area. Under pressure

North Atlantic might be recalled to the
Pacific to replace losses suffered by the
United States Navy.
In this manner, Berlin may have fig
ured that our help to Russia and Great
Britain would be reduced to minimum
at a time when the German dictator
desires to strike a fatal blow at the
British Empire Or, if this proved too
difficult after the Russian campaign, he
may hope to reach the Mosul oil fields
and secure for the Reich the vital oil
without which the Axis armies face ulti-
mate collapse.
Only by engaging the United States
heavily in the Pacific and creating
sense of insecurity in the civilian popu-
lation on the West Coast through a
spectacular raid like that on Pearl
Harbor last Sunday, could Herr Hitler
hope to stop the flow Of warplanes to
Britain and to deprive merchantmen in
the North Atlantic of the powerful pro-
lection of American men of war.
The Japanese accepted the war plans
laid in Berlin and started the battle of
the Pacific with every ounce of power
at their disposal.
The United States entered this war
only modestly prepared, with a feet
divided between the Atlantic and the
Pacific, but with untold resources and
reserves of man power raw materials
and perfectly equipped factories. with
out which no modern war can be won.
U. S. Not Expecting Picnic"
Naval and military strategists who dis
cussed the situation before the war ac-
tually broke out, were confident final
victory would belong to the United
States, but they all sounded the same
warning: This war will be no picnic.
Our losses in men, material and pride
ere going to be heavy before we bring
the little brown men to their knees"
1t is evident that the immediate task
before this country is to break Japan
one of the main links in the Axis chain
as speedily as the combined Allied forces
can do so. The war in Europe and
Africa may continue along present lines
a long time. The British Isles are in
less danger of being invaded than last
year at tni5 time, and American war

to hold the Germans back for while
at least.
In any event, there will be no slowing
down in the flow Of our artillery and
tanks to that area during the next few
months. The arming Of merchant ships
enables them to sail without conveys
II they have a speed better than 10
knots. Slower ships still must be con-
voyed. This new system OF shipping war
material to Europe snd Africa-part by
individual vessels and part by convoy
will make available for use elsewhere
some naval units at present in the North
Atlantic.
But even If this should prove imprac-
tical because of the number OF submarine
and air raiders in the North Atlantic, 1t
is almost certain that most Of the output
of our Navy yards on the Atlantic coast
will be free to reinforce the Pacific Fleet.
British Agree With U. S. Plans.
Thus, the opinion of many military
and naval experts in Washington is that
the British, with assistance in manufac-
tured material we send them, will be able
' to hold the Nazis back. The same thing
may apply to the Russians. American
supplies in any event could not reach the
Soviet armies unless Vladivostok and the
Trans-Siberian Railway were open and
we could dispatch our ships without in
reference from the Nipponese.
The British appear to be in agreement
with our basic strategy. They, too, real
ize that every effort must be made to
break Japan's power in the Pacific.
Japan's chief problem remains raw
materials. As far as these are concerned
Japan is in far worse shape than her
German and Italian allies The stores of
oil, gasoline and scrap steel and iron-all
provided by the United States during the
three and half years Of appeasement
policy-are reported to be sufficient for
II or Is months of intensive warfare.
When these are exhausted, Japan's
offensive power will be wiped out, unless
she is able to conquer the Netherlands
Indies.
The Nipponese have staked everything
on the outcome Of this gigantic battle
against their most feared enemy-the
United States. They will not be cowardly
and will take every precaution against
mistakes.

The largest expanses Of open water IN

This is true because even the mightiest

American war will be largely governed by
the fortified stepping stones across the
