been a strong feeling in political
circles that Gen. Macarthur is
not getting the necessary support
to start major operations against
the enemy. Even in some mill
tary quarters 1t is believed that
had he been given suficient
ground strength and an adequate
aviation force he would have
been able, with the assistance of
the powerful Navy under the
command Of Admiral Halsey, to
free the Philippines.
No political consideration is
being entertained by those who
would like an offensive against
the islands. 1t is a matter of cold
strategy. Once our forces are
back in the Philippines the main
Japanese positions, including For
mosa and the Netherlands East
Indies would become the target
Of the powerful American naval
and air raids and communica-
tions between Japan and the
newly conquered empire would
be disrupted much quicker than
by local submarine operations.
Meet Only Advance Guards.
Gen. Macarthur has done ex-
tremely well with the very limited
forces at his disposal. He has
local air superiority wherever he
tackles q new Japanese position
In the Birmarck Sea or on New
Guinea. He is greatly assisted in
the operations by the whole
hearted cooperation of Admiral
Halsey, but fundamentally all our
victories in that Pacific area have
been OF little consequence.
We have crushed the Japs' air
power when sent to protect their
ground forces and at sea the
enemy has not dared meet Ad-
miral Halsey's ships in open COM
bat. But so far we have met
only few advanced guards.
Our victory at Lac was impor-
tant as far as ground gained was
concerned, but the losses suffered
by the Japs then and previously
In the islands west Of Guadal-
canal have been insignificant.
At Lac, for instance, the Japs
pulled out their men and loaded

them In submarines at night,
leaving only q sacrifice rear
guard to oppose the advance Of
Gen. MacArthur's American and
Australian detachments.
In many military quarters 1t Is
felt that Gen. Macarthur is abso-
lutely correct when he says that
we are getting nowhere fast by
these local operations at the very
remote fringes Of Japan's main
defenses.
The prospective heavy fighting
In Europe will require our send
ing important forces and military
supplies across the Atlantic. Al
though the shipping situation
has improved greatly only small
proportion of transports and q
relatively small trained force are
available for the Pacific area so
long as the Nazis have not been
defeated.
Even If we do not send REIN
forcements to Gen. Eisenhower's
armies we must send replace
ments. If the Nazis put up as
effective a show as they did at
Salerno we may have to trans
port and import troops to I'LL the
gap Of the American armies
fighting in Italy.
Must Plan Requirements.
At the same time we cannot
afford to slow down the flow of
men to England. Over q period
of months we are pledged 10 send
a certain number Of men to start
the forthcoming cross-channel
invasion and our reservoir Is not
inexhaustible.
We must figure on replace
ments for the armies which will
attack Western Europe and ex-
perience has shown us that we
must have an ample force avail
able for the operation.
The result OF these require
ments Is that Gen. Macarthur
has not received near the figure
necessary to enable him to make
a bold attack on the Japs. All
those who have returned from
the Southwest Pacific agree that
II Gen. Macarthur had been
given even so per cent of what
he has asked for he would now
be In position to strike at the
main Japanese defenses and
could overlook the small targets
which at present are the main
objectives Of his offensive.
Ground and air forces per-
sonnel received SO far have en-
abled Gen. Macarthur to make
Australia safe against invasion.
He is now expanding Australia's
safety zone but that does not
mean that he is actually engag-
ing the Japs in a real fight.
AL the positions reconquered
had been occupied by the Japs
in 1912 practically without firing
a shot. They are making us pay
dearly and in the meantime are
completing the steel ring around
their old and new empires.
