Jap Thrust at u. S.-AustroIiu
Communications Seen Likely

Concentrating in Marshall Islands

tions. such as Samoa, Fiji or New
Caledonia.
Covered Against Attack.
The concentration OF a strong
japanese fleet in the MarShalls
would cover these lines of advance
against attack by the United States
Pacific Fleet.
Thus, in the last analysis, the
success or failure of the operations
would depend on two factors:
l. The defensive strength of our
main positions in the Central and
Southern Pacific.
g. The relative fighting strength
of the two main fleets.
If the Japanese have really de-
cided on a move of the sort sug-
geSted, their reasons may be readily
perceived. From their point of view,
the situation in the Pacific has
been growing steadily worse and
can only be retrieved by decisive
action. Their forces are limited and
have been busily occupied in seizing
the various United Nations posi-
tions around the South China Sea
They have not been able to inter-
fere with the establishment of our
strong United States-Australia line
of communications, nor with the
dispatch of powerful reinforcements
to Australia along that line.
1t must be perfectly clear to the
japanese that we are not moving
into Australia and the South Pacific
in such strength merely for the
purpose of sitting still in our va
rious bases. They know well that
both the American and the Aus

for them. The longer they delay,
the stronger becomes our grip on
the island positions and the more
aircraft we are able to send to the
theater of operations.
The question of relative naval
strength is also of great Importance
and this will be affected by the
repair of damaged ships on both
sides. the completion for active
service OF new naval construction
and the movement into the South
Pacific of ships drawn from other
theaters Of operations.
These factors are of course closely
guarded secrets and on this point
it can only be said that the jap
anese will seek to choose a moment
as favorable to themselves as pos
sible. other elements being duly
considered.
So far the japanese have shown
tendency to undertake one oper-
alton at time. They may now
consider that their Burmese cam
paign is drawing to a successful
conclusion and 1t is quite likely that
their next major land operation
may be directed against Russia.
though q pincers movement against
the Chinese armies with Burma as
one arm of the pincers is def
mite possibility.
Would Like to Ease Pressure.
In either case the Japanese would
like to be able to concentrate their
full attention on such an enterprise

Reports reaching Washington in
dicate that the japanese are now
concentrating considerable naval
and air strength in the Marshall
Islands, the easternmost of their
Pacific outposts If these reports
Japanese are contemplating an at
tack on the great South Pacific line
of communications between the
United States and Australia.
The Marshall Islands would afford
a jumping off position for an attack
against any of the island bastions of
this line all the way from Hawaii to
New Caledonia.
10 In view of the successes which the
Japanese have enjoyed so far in the
combination of sea forces and. land
based aviation, one route which may
appear attractive to them is to push
down through the Gilbert and Ellice
Islands toward Fiji and Samoa. An
other is an advance through the
Solomons and the New Hebrides
toward New Caledonia. These lines
Of advance are roughly parallel and
might be attempted simultaneously
if the japanese are in sufficient
strength.
In either case the method would
probably be the same The sizure
of successive island steppingstones
covered by air operations which, with
the occupation of each new advance
base, would be able to extend little
farther until it became possible for
the japanese aircraft to cover a ma
jor assault on one of our main posi-

tralian forces are animated by the
offensive spirit and that they can
expect blows to be struck at their
own far-flung island outposts just
as quickly as we can make ready
to deliver such blows.
Depend on Sea Lines.
The loss, for example, of their
positions east and northeast of New
Guinea might be the result of a
waiting policy on their part and
this, in turn, would probably mean
the loss of the Marshall Islands
as we'll. pushing the Japanese back
into the Carolines and endangering
their vital lines of communications
1t cannot be too strongly en-
phaSlzed-indeed it needs saying
again and again-that everything
which the Japanese are now doing
in the Philippines, the Netherlands
Indies, Burma and Malaga is de-
pendent entirely on keeping open
sea communications between the
main island of Japan and her forces
in these distant parts of the world.
The only way Japan can protect
her communications is to keep
United Nations naval and air forces
so far away that they cannot at
tack them. The loss of the Mar
shalls and the New Guinea posi-
tionS would be serious because it
would bring our raiding bases much
closer to the japanese communica-
ton lines. The loss of the Caro-
lines might be fatal.
Hence, it is entirely logical to
suppose that the japanese have de-
cided to take the offensive in the
South Pacific and push us still
farther back, cutting us off from
Australia, if possible. and in any
case advancing the japanese out
posts so as to improve their present
strategical position.
Must Act Quickly.
If the japanese have decided on
such a course of action, they will
probably consider that the quicker
they get at it, the better it will be
