 this country have full comprehen- sion of the magnitude of our task in the Pacific. One way to sharpen our appreciation of the Pacific prob Ter. is to compare it with the war in Europe. In Britain we have an ideal base for operations only 300 miles from Germany itself; further more that base is only a week away from our Atlantic coast, and Bri- tain's shipping and cock facilities are among the finest anywhere. On the other hand. our operations to date in the Pacific have not caused Japan any vital injury; We are one to three thousand miles from bases affording access for our bombers to essential Japanese objectives. while the supply problem posed by the enormous distances and the primi- tive facilities available in the Asia tic and Pacific areas makes the task of mounting an offensi'e far more difficult than in the European thea kAR."

observers believe that only the

One person was killed in the COL

the principal quake, which spread
alarm throughout the city and sent
thousands of people scurrying into
