THERE are two offensive operations essential
to accomplish Japan'S defeat. The irst is
the destruction of her commercial marine A
short time ago, our secretary of the navy an
nounced that already we had destroyed one-third
of JapanS total merchant tonnage.
How have we done this? We have done it
IN spite of the fact that Japans maritime
shipping lies beyond the range Of our present
air bases and we only wear it away by air
attack at the tips Of her lines of supply.
We have done a great deal by our submarine
warfare But these submarines are based in
remote ports of Australia thousands Of miles
from the vessels they attack. Nevertheless, one
third of this feat OF attrition has been accom-
pliShed in less than two years.
But if our aiTplaneS were operating from

armies must have. The only connection with

Quate for Chnds needs is maritime 1t means
the opening of great port to which the heavy
material Of war can come by sea. The great
port OF this character not very distant from
Luzon, is the Chinese port of Canton.
Japan has built up a very great defense
structure around that strategic situation. The
Canton-Hongkong area, the Chinese island Of
IIainan where the japanese massed and trained
their troops for the conquest OF Malaga, and the
IndO-ChineSe port of iaifong have been developed
undoubtedly by the Japanese into a strong mill
tary center But they could not hold these
positions against pitiless of attrition with
out the victory OF their fleet.
If the great naval battle with Japan is 10 be
fought in the China Sea. we may believe our
own feet ready for this engagement. Its loss
by the Japanese would mean the loss OF every
thing To win that naval victory the American
feet must have a restored base closer to the
scene Of action than the japan Sea itself, and II
may we'll be that that point Of naval concen-
tration and supply will be Manila Bay.

Why Are We Appraisers?

with the British in the Mediterranean, have
smashed decisively the second member of the
Axis, have thrown the whole German strategy
into confusion, opened up the flank of the
Balkans broken the morale of the Hungarians
and other satellites, neutralized Spain, and
made Turkey probable rather than a
potential ally
OF course, all this has been done for the
common purpose of defeating the enemy but
II is notable that the United States is fighting
in every quarter of the habitable globe and
that Russia is fighting no place but on Rus
sian soil and is only fighting the nation with
which it cynicaliy allied itself when it looked
as if all western Europe was tottering into
eubjugation.
u USSIA has not voluntarily taken the
N burden of the land fighting, and no one
with ordinary common sense would believe
that the cynical Stain, who helped Germany
dsmember PROSTATE Poland and took forcible
measures to subjugate the little democracies
of Latvia, Estonia and Lthuania. would have
lifted a hand against Germany had not the
manacal paperhanger turned on the Soviets.
OF course every one admires the fight
ing courage of the Russian armies but is
il not about time that Americans took a sane
and realistic view instead of being carried
away by romantic propaganda?
Stain is for Russia in Europe. Stain is
for Russia in Asia. Stain is for Russia in
the Balkans. Stain is for Russia in the Near
East. Stain is for Russia in the Far East.
Naturally, Stain would like to have more
young Americans sacrificed TO save Russians.
7 T WOULD certainly be enlightening if some
l of the international coterie who have sub
stituted appeasement of Stain for appease-
ment of Japan would point out single
instance wherein Stain or Russia has taken
single step of any kind, character or descrip-
ton that was not in defense of Russia and
Of Russia alone.
Certainly, it is desirable to have Russias
cooperation not only during the war but in
the postwar world, but the best way not to
get such cooperation is a policy of appease-
ment which has become almost maudlin
Prime Minister Churchill recently used an
apt phrase when he said turbulence and
grovelng should be avoided equally"
In view of the record it would appear
as if our diplomacy has been woefully inept
