The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON SMajor Robert 8. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON-High naval of ficials. following the third round" of the Solomons battle, make this appraisal of present relative strength of Japanese and United States forces:
 The naval battles of summer and fall have resulted in such heavy losses on both sides that the long range effect is war of at triton in which the winner even tually is the one who has some thing left after the heavy sink ings.
 This should make the United States definitely superior, if only because of her superior produc- tion facilities Even supposing every unit of the U s. fleet, as of December 2, 1941, were sunk, to- gether with every unit Of the Japanese fleet, the odds would be in our favor. This is because our production ratio ranges between 6-l and 10-l.
 In other words, even those U. 5. naval units which are being pro- duced most slowly are being pro- duced six times as fast as similar units of the Japanese, and those being produced most rapidly are being produced ten times as last as the Japanese. In fact, new U. 5. naval vessels are being completed as rapidly as the Navy has per- sornel to man them.
 Today the U. S. Navy has accu- rate information about Japanese production facilities. This is be- cause Japan relied largely on Am erican engineers and industrial consultants, and these American experts have now been summoned to Washington, where they serve as advisers to the military high com- mand.
 This war of attrition, together with the fact that our major effort is concentrated in EuErope, means that the victory may not come ir the Pacific for some time. In fact some naval experts think 1t may be decided more by U. $. ships not yet commissioned than by those now serving in the Pacific.
 NOTE-The Navy notices a re- duction in quality of both Japa' nese flyers and Japanese planes As one officer puts it: They art now playing with their second team" Best Jap aviators probably were. lost when four Jap carriers were sunk at Midway. It takes months of training to produce good pilot in anybody's country
