big guns could crack them at nine to ten miles, but they must close to six to crack ours. Our new l6-inch guns are better than theirs, our to- tai gun-power would probably be nearly 50 per cent greater. Our heavy cruisers outgun theirs, though on light cruisers, destroyers and submarines terms would be nearer equal--depending on how many American warships were kept in the Atlantis.
 BOTH NAvIES
 HAVE TRUMPS
 Both navies hold trumps. The Japs' trumps are two or four nlys- terious new "super-cruisers' of l2,- 900 tons and 12-inch guns. But our navy asks: Remember the Graf Spee?" and point out that these pocket battleships could be attacked with a new 8-inch armor-piercing shell, fired from our heavy cruisers.
 The American trump recalls an- other German naval disaster, the Bismarck, which succumbed to air power. Naval authorities believe we have the finest naval aviation in the world, sending up from carriers bigger and better planes than the Japanese navy boasts-p.anes bet- ter enough, with crews better enough to maintain that 2-1 superiority. That includes superior spotting for

planes, leaving heavier ships and some lighter for the Battle of the Atlantic.
 But the Japanese have some re- serves, and if Hitler approached Si- beria, the time factor might well force the United States to more ag- gressive action. Then the Pacific fleet, with every battleship and heavy cruiser that could be spared, would rush from Hawaii westward. It is 3300 miles to Japan from our only major Pacific fleet base. But almost unnoticed is the fact that, since the navy recently built Up its train" of supply and repair ships, 1t has almost a floating base" This, with the fleets planes, means that the U. s. navy has greatly reduced the handicap of sea-n1iles in choos- ing the scene of battle.
 From admiral to bluejacket, our navy believes that even though the Pacific fleet has been weakened, chances are 9 to 1 they could beat the Japanese in a stand-up fight. Politely agreeing, the Japanese have prepared to run away or fight at extreme ranges. Japanese battle ships average faster and perhaps slightly safer than ours, and are newer; but their armor, like the ill- fated Italians, is thin (l2-l4 inches Ys. lel especially In the turretS. Our

our superior gunners, plus dive bombing against Japanese ships.
 The American trump can take two tricks. Navy heavy patrol bomb- CTS (range. 5000 to 5000 miles) could operate 1000 to 2O0O miles offshore, against Japanese ships, or attack Japanese cities. They can reach them from the Philippines or even more easily from Vladisvostok where where the Russians also have many heavy bomberS. The United States has strengthened its Far East air force, especially since the naval war has shown that within certain lim- its bombers can replace surface vessels which were sent to the Att ,antic when we occupied Iceland.
 And all this American air and sea power would be reinforced by the 75-odd Russian submarines believed based at Vladivostok, the consider able forces of the Dutch East In- dies, and by British capital ships now in the Pacific.
 Japan's present sea strength is less than 1t will Sbe year from now when Tokyo will place in commission new capital ships that now are near CT completion than ours. Tn two years, the balance would swing back in the U. SIS favor. And in three years the United States will have, to all intents, its long-projected two- ocean navy.
