Mr.. CHURCHILL
TELLS US

(Wall Street JournaD
In the course of his fine speech to a
Joint session of the American Congress on
Friday. Prime Minister Churchill said
this:
If the United States has been found at
a disadvantage at various points in the
Pacific Ocean. we know we'll that that Is
to no small extent because of the aid
which you have been giving to us in the
munitions for the defense of the British
Isles and to the Libyan campaign, and
above all. because Of your help IN the
battle Of the Atlantic, upon which all
depends and which has in consequence
been successfully and prosperously main
tanned.
What Mr.. Churchill describes there is
a strategy, which Americans for the most
part have been left to imagine and piece
together. -, =,
We are glad that Mr.. Churchill did
describe the situation thus bluntly. We
wish that before Mr.. Churchill had spok-
en- some American official in high place
had spoken as candidly. There, 1t seems
to us. is the proper source of such IN
formation.
To quote Mr.. Churchill again:
Our peoples would rather know the
truth. somber though it be.

Provision of only small garrison tor
the defense of Hong Kong tells the story
of what amounts to its sacrifice to the
major purpose of anti-AXiS strategy IN
AslaIic waters. This purpose is to save
Singapore.
The reason is plain. If Singapore is
lost, I'll is lost. Ii Singapore is saved, all
that n&v be sacrificed in its protection
will be repained in the final victory.
BritainS weakness in these waters was
disclosed when she took chances on chang
ing the position Of the Prince of Wales
and the RepulSe without adequate air
protection. 1t was a desperate gamble
but the British had to take it. They lost
both ships That defeat prepared the
British people for the yielding of Hong
Kong
Concentration of all the resources of
Britain, Australia. the Netherlands East
Indies and the American ASiatic fleet on
the protection of Singapore may call tor
further sacrifices. Americans should be
prepared to keep their chins up If diver
sion of the defense Of the Philippines to
the defense of Singapore requires the
Welding of these islands to the japanese,
The lob is to save Singapore until it
is cleared of danger by blockade of
Japan. 1t may take time and it may call
for the sacrifice of many more American
lives. But once it is accomplished then
the Manila atrocities, the attacks on
Wake, Midway and Guam, and the COW
ardlv assault on Pearl Harbor will be
avenged, and how.
