During the battle, while dive

Harry Hill. who commanded the
operation, told me had the enemy

transports we might well have
suffered the most humiliating
defeat
1t didn't happen solely because
the United States massed such
colossal naval force that the japa-

FEW ENEMY PLANES
Result was that enemy air raids
were Intellectual At Betio. for
example, the greatest number OF
enemy aircraft 10 show up was
six planes. which in darkness on
three successive mornings made
sneak raids. during which / saw
them bomb their own troop posi-
tons.
VasmeSs of the preparations for
the fight for Betio was brought
home in a talk with Hill and the
marine commander, Gen. Julian
c. Smith. on the signal bridge of
the flagship.
Hill, commander Of an Ameri-
can task force operating with the
British home fleet off England
from March to August last year,
is a slight, blue-eyed energetic
man. He is known through the
fleet as "Hairbreadth Harry"
Dramatically he declared:
Victory here won't be a mat
ter of luck. We are going TO
win because we have got the
force. Back of that force we
have brilliant men. mean the
American high command and
the men out here in the Gill

war against Japan Clearly fer
the future. IL will be a sea war,
decided by naval action, although
there must be a continuation of
island-hopping
Island-hopping in the Solomons

COULDN'T DO 1T ALONE
Gen. Smith, soft-spoken man,
said
II endorse everything the
admiral has told you. The
marines couldn't have done IL

planes we can see bombing and
strafing that island now. We
couldn't have done II without
this naval gunfire, and none of
those could have done II with

shells alone are not enough"

DARK FUTURE FOR JAPAN

the Gilberts. the Marshalls will be
under the domination Of American
aviation Ultimately that means
they will he rendered as ineffec-
tual as Japan's airfieldS in the
Solomons. When the Marshalls are
occupied, we will be standing over
Truk in the Carolines, Japan's
greatest naval bastion in the

Truk, IT may not be necessary to
make the terrific effort that
would be required to occupy it.

BEST WAY TO WIN

While iSland-hopping is publicly
unpopular in the United States,
there is no choice. Indeed. il seems
the quickest way to win, especially
when fought the American way.
Every time -the-united- States
seizes an island il establishes air
bases.
There is little attempt TO do as
Japan does fortify these islands
until they are miniature Gihral-
tars. Rather the policy is to crowd
them with aircraft and TO use sea-
power TO hold off the invasion
forces.
SO far Japan hasn't worked out
any answers 10 that and unless she
does so soon il will be too late.
