No Optimism
Turning to the debit side, Mr.
Roosevelt discussed the situation
OF the Philippines in terms that
left no room for optimism on the
possibilities of reinforcing or re
/ lieving General Macarthur.
The turn Of events there, he
said. had long been anticipated.
/ For forty years II has been our
! Strategy strategy born OF ne
cesslty-that in event OF a full
scale attack on the islands by ia.
pan, we should fight a delaying &C.
ton, attempting to retire slowly
into Bataan Peninsula and Cor
lregidor.
I'VE knew that the war as a
whole would have to be fought and
won by process OF attrition
against Japan itself. ''''We knew
that, TO obtain our objective. many
varieties OF operations would be
necessary in areas other than the
Philippines.
Nothing that has occurred in
the past two months has caused
us to revise this basic strategy Of
necessity except that the defense
put up by General Macarthur has
magnificently exceeded the prev.
ious estimates of endurance; and
he and his men are gaining eter-
nal glory therefor"
Reproves Monpers
The President administered
stern reproof to the rumor mon.
