TONY LAzzERl
GETS RELEASE

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 7 up
Tony Lazzcri, veteran infielder of
the New York Yankees, has been
released at his own request by the
San Francisco Seals Of the Pacific
Coast league.
Lazzeri was a utility man with
the Seals the past season, played in
l02 games and batted PA, despite
his aging legs.
I've made no plans yet" said
Lazzeri. I'd like to set a managers
job and may 90 back to the major
minor league meeting this winter
in search of one.
The Portland Beavers of the
Coast loop are in need of manager
to replace the resigned Oscar Witt,
who went to Hollywood. and Presi-
dent E. j. Schefter said he probably
would pick his new pilot. at the
major-minOr meeting.
Floyd Babe Herman, the former
Trolley y-Dodger from Brooklyn. also
has bid for the Portland spot.

and plane we possess The least
hampering of our national effort
now, the least leakage of informa-
ton may be fatal.
A Duty to Wait.
II there is blame to be apportioned
for what may have happened at
Pearl Harbor, then the time for
that is later, when all the facts can
be told. This writer would have no
wish to cover the negligence or
failure, if any, of any officer of the
armed services. But the public
cannot know what facts there may
be to justify such action, and the
suspension of public judgment until
the facts can be made available is
a duty we all owe to the cause OF
our country.
Meanwhile, we can be certain that
whatever the initial difficulties we
have to face, the resources Of the
country are sufficient to insure vic
tory, and will be marshalled to that
end with determination and the will
to win which has never deserted the
fighting forces of our Nation in their
darkest hours.
One more point ought to be made
and that is that our defensive policy
necessarily causes us to be the
recipient and not the deliverer of
the first blows. We ought to have
attacked Japan without warning,
from the strictly military point of
view; from the political, results
might we'll have proven more dam

might then be able to act effectively
against the Japanese To know this
would be of vital Importance to
Japan. To know for certain any
single fact which would tend to
make such a course on our part
likely could be hardly less important.
The japanese would then seek by
every means within their power to
prevent the junction of the two
parts of the fleet. They would try
to attack one part in detail, with
superior force, before junction could
be effected. They would so sta
ton their submarines as to slow up
and perhaps damage one or the other
part of the fleet while bringing SUI
perior forces to bear against the
other.

perately for time. They probably

They cannot detach the whole of
their battle force to meet us, be-
cause they must keep a certain
number of battleships in the South
China Sea to cover their landing
operations in Malaga. They have
their worries; they are making des-
perate bid for quick victory before
their resources are exhausted. Re-
member all this, and remember that

feated We must make the most ef-

anxiety VIII hMaj. G. Fielding Eliot.
lies behind that cry is inevitable.
Yet every citizen ought to realize
that it is his duty, perhaps his most
important duty at the moment, to
keep calm, to curb his natural desire
to know what is happening, to await
the moment when he may be safely
told. Pressures of whatever kind
brought to bear at this time to force
either the revealing of information
or the apportionment of praise or
blame, can do nothing but give ad-
vantage to the enemy. Remember
that the enemy, too, wants informa-
tion. He wants desperately to know
what we are thinking and doing and
planning. The least hint may be
of grave disservice to the United
States
Specifically, I have in mind the
present naval situation in the
Pacific as affected by the Japanese
attack on the American fleet and
base at Pearl Harbor and the other
operations which have taken place
or are taking place. At the begin
ming, the American Pacific fleet
faced certain difficulties, due to the
withdrawal of some of its ships to
meet the new responsibilities we had
undertaken in the Atlantic. 1t was
necessary to meet these respon-
sibilities, once they had been as
sumed. The amount of force re-
quired for that purpose was a
matter for the judgment of the
President and his naval advisers. 1t
may be said that if the force trans
ferred to the Atlantic included any
of our modern battleships, the
responsibility assumed by whoever
made the final decision to divide
the battle force was very grave
one, and one whose results must
eventually be tried at the bar of
public judgment.
Superiority Margin Not Great.
1t is the personal opinion OF the
writer, and always has been, that
whatever disposition be made of the
lighter craft to meet changing con-
ditions and needs, the main strik-
ing power of the fleet the battle
force, ought never, under any con-
ditions, to be divided as long as there
exists a potential enemy in either
ocean possessing a strong battle
Evening star., 1941-12-10

line. Almost the last injunction of
Theodore Roosevelt to his successor
in Office was Don't Divide the Bat
tie Fleet but the time for examina-
ton and Judgment has not yet ar
rived. That is the point to be driven
home.
The margin of superiority posses
sed by our original Pacific Fleet over
the total force of the Japanese
Navy was not great, though probably
sufficient for victory; almost GER
tainly so, taking into account our
great superiority in the naval avia-
ton.
How much that margin had been
whitfield down by transfers to the
Atlantic is uncertain, but certainly
it had been reduced-perhaps to
parity, perhaps below parity. Now
the question is, how much further
has our fighting strength in the
Pacific been cut by the japanese
attacks on Pearl Harbor, how many
ships have been lost and how many
put out of action for a greater or
less period of time by severe dam
age? We do not know and we
ought not-at this time-to ask.
The japanese would like to know
that, too. They can hardly be sure
of what they have done, or left un-
done. The whole course of their
future operations, and ours, depends
on accurate information, and the
side with the best information has
a tremendous advantage.
Why knowledge Is Vital.
Suppose this is purely sup
position, not a disguised statement
of fact-our Pacific fleet has been
hard hit. 1t might then be decided
to restore the situation, as far as
possible, by sending ships from the
Atlantic to the Pacific by way of the
Panama Canal. And it might be
sought to effect junction between
those Atlantic ships and the re-
mainder of the Pacific feet, in order
to have a concentrated force which

was inevitable, as long as the polit-

that desperate enemy once deter

may be defensive. but in war we
