their way through to relieve the
| peninsula.
When it did not come day after
/ day some officers began to realize
it was not coming The majority of
the Army, however, refused to be-
lieve this.
Day after day heartening reports
spread among the troops that help
was on the way. The most frequent
rumor was that aircraft carriers
were landing planes to operate from
Bataan airfelds.
! Once when number of small
vessels were moved from the south
ern side of Corregidor to the north
to escape shellfire and thus could be
seen from Bataan, word quickly
spread that a convoy had come.
Soldiers who refused to believe a
convoy had come were extremely
unpopular.
Men waited daily for reports that
Toxic was bombed. They momen-
tarily expected reports of some
smashing American victory. Ameri-
can officers who knew the truth had
the heart-wrenching job of sending
young Filipinos to death on the
battlefield in a lost cause. Young
American officers who led them
fought courageously until their own
| death.

luctance to discuss such an

one thing such talk lends comfort

Then, too, there always has been

fortuitous circumstance gave our

raise the subject now because
queries I have been getting in
dicate that a lot OF folk haven't
wholly understood the position.
1t may ease minds to know that
everything apparently has been
done which could be done, since
the outbreak of the war.
The Japs have controlled the
sea and air about the Philippines.
We have lacked the striking
power to break through that
blockade at such a vast distance
from our home bases, for it would
have required great naval and
air forces which weren't available.
Cases Not Parallel.
It's true that recently we have
established considerable fighting
strength in Australia, and that
this strength is being augmented.
But it's equally true that we
couldn't have utilized this base
If the Nipponese had controlled
the air and waters about Aus
tralia as they do about the Phil
ippines.
In short, we haven't sent to
Australia anything which could
have been put in the hands Of
our men on Bataan as they wrote
an indelible chapter of glory in
American history.
While we are on the subject of
Allied weakness in the South
west Pacific it may be useful to
warn against big expectations Of
a major offensive by our forces
in the near future. We are en-

post air fields strung on the western
and northern coasts of LuZon, even
some supposedly secret fields COM
pleted only a few days before. At
each some planes were destroyed on
the ground in perfectly co-ordinated
attacks. -
Japanese planes had been flying
over Luzon several nights prior to
the war. They had been picked up
by detectors and once a flight of
pursuits attempted to intercept
them, but missed.
The bombers used in the Decem-
Der 8 raids apparently came from
Formosa and Hainan and the fight
ers probably from two carriers.
On the same day the japanese
forces landed at Aparri and seized
large landing field which had
been previously prepared by their
agents. It was disguised as a rice
field.
Within a few days Japanese
planes were operating from this
field On December 10, about noon,
the japanese attacked Cavite with
devastating success. Without anti
aircraft or pursuit interference their
bombers criss- the naval

ploying increasing initiative, but
it will be long time before we
are able to undertake big-scale
attacks. Meanwhile our opera
tions must be more or less what
they have been on Bataan-de-
fensive.
This column ventured the view
long ago that when we finally
smash the Japs we shall do it
largely by direct attack on Japan
proper from the air. There will
be naval and land operations, OF
course, but there will be no neces-
sity of going through the arduous
preliminary Of reconquering each
Of the territories which Nippon
has annexed. When we have
blasted Toxic and Osaka and
other. great cities sufficiently, the
Japs will be glad to give up their
ill-gotten gains in order to escape
punishment.
Open to Air Attack.
There are numerous ways in
which We shall be able to get at
Japan from the air when the
time comes, all depending on the
circumstances Of the moment. 1t
can be done when We have the
resources.
Meanwhile, it is increasingly
and urgently apparent that apart
from holding in the Orient, we
must devote the greater part of
our energy to the key theater Of
the whole war, and that is the
Russo-German battle-ground. Hit
Ter Is getting set for the greatest
effort he has yet made. He is
sowing dragons teeth with both
hands, and vast armies are
springing up. The Muscovites
tell us that already he is fling
ing fresh equipment-including
warplanes and tanks made in
the past few weeks-into the
lines in an effort to improve his
position for the coming drive.
I have been asked frequently
Of late whether it looks as though
the Reds can hold the German
war machine. The answer is that
they probably can do the hold
ing If we can furnish enough
warplanes and tanks and other
badly needed equipment. And If
Hitler can be held through the
summer, his goose is cooked.
Presumably this crisis is what
has taken Chief of Staff Marshall
to London. There is not a mo-
ment to lose in rushing equip
ment to the European theater.
1t may even be that we shall be
called on to aid in the opening
of a new front in Western Eu-
rope. In any event, this life-or-
death affair with Hitler must be
settled before we can stage any
major offensive in the Orient.

those who direct the strategy of
this war.
For years the Philippines were
considered untenable in the face
of a heavy enemy attack. Ma
Mia was considered a poor naval
base because Congress would
never appropriate the necessary
funds to make 1t the first Ameri-
can base in the South Pacific.
We Looked to Singapore.
Treaties, such as the Four
Power Pact, which enabled the
Japs to fortify their own outposts
in the inundated islands and
prevented us from fortifying
Guam and Cavite, were given as
the reason why taxpayers money
should not be sunk into making
Luzon and Mindanao the fore
most defenses of the United
States in that region.
Relying on full cooperation
with Great Britain our leaders
looked to Hong Kong and Singa-
pore as our main bases In the
event of a conflict with Japan.
Strategists, politicians and diplo-
mats looked at the defense
works and gun calibers of the
friendly neighbor's strongholds
without taking into considera-
ton the human element: The
fighting ability Of the men who
were to defend these outposts.
AS is natural and logical, the
heart of the British is in Europe;
the Far East is an important.
but q secondary, line of defense.
To us and to our men in the
Philippines and at Wake, the
ground they defended, although
not wholly American, was the
first line of defense of their
homes. This is one of the many
reasons why thousands of Ameri-
can soldiers fought and died so
heroically against forces often 10
times superior. ...
Australia Is Main Theater.
Our planes and light tanks,
which could have given such a
good account Of themselves in the
Pacific, will soon be fighting in
the Near East, where they have
been rushed In large numbers.
But few, if any. were available in
the Philippines or other Pacific
outposts. Our Navy was forced
through lack of strength to con-
fine itself to raiding.
Many military observers hope
that the new threat to the United
Nations in the Near East will not
further divert our forces from
what so many consider to be our
main theater-Australia and the
waters of tn. Pacific where Japan
is so vulnerable.
According to press releases
from London, where Gen. George

son by his publicity experts, better
results could be had from the calm
presentation of a few cold facts. In
stead of being fed on soggy slogans
invented by feverish administration
press agents, more nourishment
would be afforded the national
morale if some of the things the
enemy knows about us could be
clearly set before our own people.
For example, it is aSsuredly no
secret that after four months of war
we are engaged only with the jap
anese and are altogether on the
defensive. Here and there we make
a sortie and achieve a success in
ships sunk or planes brought down.
But essentially ours is a defensive
fight and will remain SO for a long
time to come. And our Allies-the
British, the Chinese, the Dutch, the
Indians-are on the defensive, too.
On our side, only the Russians have
taken the offensive in the last six
months and now that spring has
come the whole anti-Axis world
Is afflicted with apprehension that
the Russian offensive cannot be
maintained.
Wrong Things Stressed.
These are fact of which the Ger
mans and Japanese are we'll aware.
Every thoughtful man in this coun-
try who follows the news is, of
course, aware of them, too But the
great bulk of the American people
are not aware Of them. They are
not the sort Of thing considered
good for them. The tendency is to
regard any emphasis upon these facts
as defeatism. The disposition Is to
