Most mysterious of all U. S.
military moves, to the average citi-
zen, have been the American op-
erationS in the Middle and Far
East. These have been the super
hush hush campaigns, from the
start OF the war, but it is now pos
sible to reveal fundamental back
ground information on these
theaterS which become of extreme
importance in view of forthcoming
developments. The surrender of
Italy with the opening up of the
Mediterranean shortens the supply
lines to the Middle East from 70
days around Africa to a mere AZ
days by way of the SueZ Canal,
thus practically doubling shipping
capacity And this improves
tremendously the outlook for the
long promised stepping-up of the
offensive against the Japs in Burma
and China.
Source of the now punishable
record of u. S. Army strategy in
Asia is Gen. George c. Marshalls
report as chief of staff, covering
the period up TO July l, 1943.
Developments beyond that date
and the full story of what has
gone on before cannot yet be told
for reasons of security, but
enough is revealed by General
Marshall 10 give a better under
standing of this phase of the war.
Even before Pearl Harbor, Cen
eral Marshall reports, large guam
titles of American material were
sent to the Middle East under lend
lease. American missions were
established in Egypt and Iran,
largely technical personnel. to Serv-
ice American planes, tanks, trucks,
and to establish air ferry routes
over which American aircraft were
dispatched to the Middle East, Rus
sia, India and China.
BRITISH REINFORCED
Withdrawal OF the British Eighth
Army into Egypt in June, 1912,
threatened these supply lines. In
this crisis, aircraft, tanks, guns and
other equipment, some of which
was actually being used by U. S.
troops at home on maneuvers, were
taken away from them and rushed
to the support of the British.
Bombers were flown directly from
the United States. Aircraft car
rierS Shuttled across the Atlantic
and planes were flown from their
decks to land at bases on the west
coast of Africa and hop across the
continent to Cairo. Other aircraft
were shipped Grated, unloaded at
Takoradi, to be assembled there and
flown on east. All this air strength
was eventually formed into the u.
S. Ninth Air Force, which strafed
German supply lines across the
Mediterranean and later bombed
Sicily, Naples and other points in
Italy.
Large U. S. ordnance and air
craft bases were established in
Eritrea, the Nile Delta and the
Levant states for use in case the
British should be driven back
still further east from Egypt, but
as General MontgOmery's EIGHTH
Army took the offensive and
drove the Germans west, u. 5.
support of these bases was with
drawn and they were turned over
to the British.
Aid to Russia through Iran has
been continued, however, the over
all shipments to Russia by all
routes amounting to 5000 planes,
24OO tanks, 10000 jeeps, 10000
trucks, 1000 motorcycles, 10000
field telephones, 100000 sub-ma-
chine guns, $4,000 tons of explosives.
