nance over the southeastern ap-
proaches to the Tokyo area.
Marcus was raided once before,
on March 4, 1912. The action then
was essentially defensive, an at
tempt to find out what the enc
my was up to and to destroy-in
the aftermath of the Pearl Har-
Dor debacle-bases which the ia
panese might have used for other
attacks on our key Hawaiian posi-
ton. Wake island was raided at
the same time and subsequently
was attacked several times by air.
Marcus, however, is out of range
of long distance bombers based
on Midway island and the organi
cation of a new assault against it
had to await availability of suf-
fcient naval strength in the Paci-
fic.
The makeup of the task force
which delivered the assault was
not indicated beyond the fact that
it contained one or more airplane
carriers. 1t seemed likely, how
ever, that it also included one or
more battleships since the Navy
has found that the heavy anti-air-
craft wallop of the big fellows is
a very effective defense for car
riers.
The immediate purpose of the
raid was a subject of great spe-
culation in naval circles here, al
though no one outside the high
command knew anything about it.
One theory was that it either COW
cred or served as a preliminary
diversion for more significant
operation. A landing to recapture
Wake sland and make it an adj
vance American base might be

Mayor Bruce B. Cameron discuss
ed the city government before the
Kiwanis club on Wednesday, with
especial reference to the tax rate,
which has been so prominently IN
the public eye of late. and the the
city's bonded Indebtedness, with
which the public is less familiar.
The council, might he said have
cut the tax rate rs cents or even
more except for the fact that the
debts of the city created by
former administrations, must be
paid when due and cannot be paid
unless there is sufficient revenue
to provide an adequate sinking
fund Wilmingtonians are paying
penalty for past unwise manage
ment he declared.
He chose the water works as an
outstanding example of what the
administration is up against, cit
ing that in 1908 the old plant was
purchased for 100000, covered by
IL per CclII JULIUS anu llloI Ill
1915 additional bonds of 100000
face value were sold for the ben
eft of the water system. Already
! the city has paid 765,00O interest,
and the bonds themselves still have
to be paid.
There has been no adequate pro-
vision for depreciation of the wat
er works in the budgets Of former
city commissions, with the result
that long before the bonds mature
the water system has been shot
to pieces" for lack of maintenance.
If it We're not for federal aid now
in creating a new water system
Wilmington would still have only
the old system. 1t is the hope and
firm purpose of the administration,
he said, to set up the water system
on firm business basis so that
similar situation may not arise
to harass the city government in
the future.

screened by an attack on Marcus,
or an amphibious assault on Para
mushiro island in the Kuriles far
to the north might be preceded by
such an action.
The long-range significance of
the attack, however, was clear.
There was general agreement that
it marked the beginning Of new
stage of Pacific war in which, as
one officer expressed it, I'VE are
carrying the fight to Japan" The
effect is to impose additional
strains on Japan's war-making ca
pacities.
In addition to the active defens-
es which the japanese must put
up in the Southwest Pacific around
the Solomons and New Guinea and
in the North Pacific around the
Kuriles they must also now expect
sea as we'll as long-range air at
lacks on their positions in the
central Pacific. The sea borne as
saults can be driven into the
depths of their vital defensive
areas and this is the new ele-
ment, created by growing Ameri-
can naval strength, with which
they have to contend.
Their defensive operations should
increase accordingly. They have
no way of knowing whether the
force which hit Marcus island set
out from Pearl Harbor, from the
Aleutians or from base in the
Solomon islands. Warships often

surprise. The Japanese hereafter
