First Part Scene of Battle

Starting from New Guinea and
Guadalcanal, the maze of small but
strategic islands on map resemble
the outpeuring Of giant pepper
shaker In the hands of photographers
gone berserls. e
Starting the march, Malaita, San
ia Isabel, Choiseul and the New
Georgia group with its notorious
Japanese air field at Munda, are
neighbors of Guadalcanal in the
British Protectorate portion Of the
SolOmons. In the heart of Melanesia
(''black islands"), these are large
compared to their neighbors of
Micronesia (''little islands") to the
north. Their inhabitants are ebony
dark, unresponsive to attempts
at civilizing, still inclined to break
out in spells Of inter-tribal head
hunting. First discovered in 1867,
they were "lost' for 200 years be-
fore new exploration confirmed their
existence. American fighting men,
writing home from Guadalcanal,
rave of the islands lush, tropical
beauty.
The western portion of the first
group belonged to Germany before
the First World war and was man
dated to Australia in postwar settle
ments. It includes large Bougain-

all Micronesia, Truk could be para
disc of international fame. Instead,
its great lagoon, with deep water
and convenient gaps in the surround
ing reef, provides a perfect haven
for the constant traffic of the Japa-
nese fleet.
Ponape, 1870 square miles, is the
largest single island of the Japanese
Mandate. Headquarters in the days
of Spanish rule, it contains blend
of all Pacific island peoples. It has
several harbors and fertile soil Of
volcanic origin, in which many hum
dred plants from far parts of the
world have thrived.
Still further across toward the fun
neps eastern edge are the Marshalls,
some 80 islands and innumerable
reefs, many enclosing broad, we'll
sheltered lagoons. Closest to Homo
lulu (2,300 miles to its southwest)
they might have been the spring
boards for the Pearl Harbor attack.
Less than two months after Pearl
Harbor, the United States navy
made brilliant surprise raid that
damaged Japanese planes and ships
at Jaluit, Wolfe, Maloelap and
Kwajalein in the Marshalls.

Lac and Salamaua.
Just across the Equator lies
Micronesia, the middle stage Of the
''march." The 1900 islets, mostly
Of coral formation, are scattered
like star dust over an area the size
of the United States.
North of their center is Guam, and
to their east are the Philippines.
This entire region fell rather easily
to the United States as part of its
conquest in the Spanish-American
war. Unprepared to defend all of
it, America held on to the Philip
pines and Guam, but handed the
rest back to Spain. Spain then hand
ed it to Germany for Az million dol
lars. Japan seized it from her pres
ent ally promptly with the start of
war in 1914. At the peace table the
Allies entrusted the islands to ia
pan, STIMULATING that they should not
be fortified. Thus Americas Philip
pines and steppingstone island OF
Guam became surrounded by a jap
anese controlled sea.

Nearest to Panama and the Pacif-
ic coast of America as well as to
Hawaii, the Marshalls threaten the
vital American supply line to Aus
tralia. From them America could
threaten many strategic Japanese
bases.
Turning southeast across the line
of the Japanese Mandate without
leaving Micronesia, the armchair
strategist finds Great Britain's Gill
bert group-16 low, barren atolls-
ribbons of coral rock from 10 to SO
miles long. Promptly after Pearl
Harbor the Japanese seized the
northern Gilberts and began the
work of converting Maxim atoll into
q well-equipped base from which to
launch seaplane raids on the ship
ping lane from Hawaii to Australia.
The subsequent attack by the Unit
ed States navy on the Maxim island
construction brought the Gilberts
their first worldwide notice.
Today, from bases at Darwin and
on Cape York, Australia's northern
tips, and from Guadalcanal Flying
Fortresses can range 1880 miles
toward Tokyo. Thus they can guard
sea lanes and strike Japanese ships
and bases anywhere in the Carolines,
Marshalls and Gilberts. Within the
area of the japanese Mandate only
Guam and the curving arc of Mari
anas to its north are beyond range
of United Nations bases on Australia
and Guadalcanal. The Marianas lie
in the tunnels collector close to its
junction with its tube.
