nothing of immobilizing tremendous
amounts of war materials and
equipment by building holding bases
in Alaska and along the Aleutian
chain of islands.
Now that the japanese occupation
OF KiSka has drawn to a close, the
japanese may learn that because of
it our bases have been built and we
have prepared springboard on
these desolate islands for future
aerial offensive against the Kurile
Islands and Toxic itself. Without
the japanese occupation of Kiska
and Attu much of this material
might have gone to England or
Africa.
A comparison of losses and gains
of the japanese holding action in
the Aleutians shows, on the debit
side:
/. The japanese were able to i'm
mobilize large number of our
Army and Navy personnel and tie
up large amounts of equipment
during critical period.
2. American blood was spilled
which might have been saved
8. To eradicate the estimated l2,-
900 japanese cost us a tremendous
! amount in money and equipment.
4. The time factor gave Japan
time to entrench in the South
Pacific.
10000 Japanese Killed.
On the credit side:
/. We wrenched Kiska and Attu
from the japanese and thereby re-
gained control of the North Pacific
and the Bering Sea air and sea
/ lanes.
2, We gained valuable experience
in bombing and flying in the
worlds worst weather factory.
3. We gained valuable experience
in building bases.
4. We killed about 10 900 Japanese.
5. We have lessened the japanese
menace to our western approaches.

and naval bases to operate against
