10-fo-2O-Year War
Feared by Chandler
# Japs Dig In
Gravity Of Situation
Stressed by Senator
In Forum Address

Warning of the seriousness of
the japanese menace to the Amer
lean people, Senator Chandler,
Democrat of Kentucky, declared
last night that 1T is suicide, in my
opinion, to permit the Japs time
to dig in in the South Pacific"
In an address in the National
Radio Forum over WMAL, arranged
by The Star and broadcast over the
Blue Network, he expressed the
view that if the japanese are given
time to dig in, they will become so
strong, both economically and mill
tarily that the war in the Pacific
may last 10 years or 20 years, or
may go on forever"
A member of the Senate Military
Affairs Subcommittee which visited
Alaska and the Aleutian Islands last
summer, Senator Chandler has kept
In close touch with developments in
the Pacific war against Japan.
From a military point of view, he
explained, there are two important
war sectors in the Pacific. One is
the heavy japanese concentration
north of Australia, which has pro-
duced direct threat to that con-
tinent. The other is the continued
presence of the japanese on the Is
lands of Kiska and Attu in the
Aleutian chain.
In four months after Pearl Har-
Dor, Senator Chandler pointed out,
the japanese have acquired the
most compact 'and perhaps the
weelthiest economical empire the
world has ever seen"
In Malaya, they gained an
annual output of 100000 metric tons
of rubber. 10000 tons of tin, and
1,250,000 tons of iron ore, and in the
Netherlands East Indies and Bor-
neo they acquired an annual output
OF 100000 tons of petroleum and
100000 tons Of rubber" he said.
Instead of being blockaded coun-
try without resources. Japan now
possesses abundant resources and is
imposing blockade upon the Uni
ted Nations"
When the President ordered
Gen. Macarthur from the Philip
pines to Australia, he, continued. it
was the general understanding that
the latter would organize at the
earliest possible moment an offens-
i've from Australia as a base with
the retaking of the Philippines as
Its objective
''It is cruel enough not to supply
him with sufficient planes to make
an offensive against the Japs in

layed, the more difficult it would
be to dislodge the enemy.
During the eight months which
have elapsed, for some reason-I
know not why-we have not been
able to dislodge the Japanese from
Kiska." he said. They are still
there. So long as they remain
there, they are menace to all the
people of the United States. The
failure to dislodge them has made
the job harder. The Japs have
dug in"
Every American, he continued,
should realize the gravity of the
situation. Il am deeply concerned
over this situation and am anxious
that the officials of the Govern
ment and our military men realize
fully the Importance of the war in
the Pacific" he declared.
Il fear that they do not at pres
ent realize its seriousness. They
have never counted it a major war

the South Pacific, but it is suicide
and tragic to speculate on the safety
and security of the Australian Com
monwealth by failing to give him
adequate air power to prevent a
threatened invasion of the Common
wealth of Australia" he declared.

far in this war, we ought to have
learned that you cannot win the
