Holds Key to
Jap Strategy
By MAI. PAUL c. RABORG

Written Especially for International New
Service An6 Detroit Times
JAPAN'S PERSISTENT
attacks on Guadalcanal testify
to the importance of the Solo
mons both 10 the United
States as we'll as 10 japanese.
As l wrote recently, the
Dutch East Indies are Japan S
most important strategic war
objective since that empire
q could not exist without the
E oil. rubber. tin and numerous
other products of these islands,
the Malayan Peninsula and
British Burma.
However. Australia is liter
p ally in the backyard Of the
Dutch East Indies.
AS long as the land down
under" is held by the United
Nations the japanese victory
in the Dutch East Indies is
totally insecure.
The Nipponese general staff
apparently feared to make a
direct assault on the island
B continent of Australia.
= The United States estab-
lished a supply line from
Hawaii to Sydney. Australia,
which passed around the
southern fringe of the South
Sea Islands - in particular
New Caledo ia, FIJI and
Samoa.
! AS long as this supply route
functions, the United Nations
strength in Australia is being
steadily built to a size which
& will permit the democracies
to assume the offensive and
recapture the Dutch East
! Indies.
THEREFORE,, THE war
lords of Japan not only must
capture Australia to CONSOLE
date their victories, but like
wise cut our line of supply TO
that island continent.
Japanese strategy attempted
Ito solve this problem by:
1--Seizing the S oil mon
Islands with a view to con-
stinuing southwark. island by
island, to reach bases from
(which the United States sup
ply line could be attacked.
2-Then to assault Aus
stralia after she had been
isolated.
} The marines checked this
Estrategy by driving a wedge
Through the Sol mons at
&C ua a lcanal and Tulagi.
Because of this. we may
Sexpect continuing frantic Nip
ponese efforts to drive our
armed forces out of the Solo
I mon Islands.
