This opportunity appeared to the
Japanese high command to coincide with
our landing in the Philippines, espe-
cially as this was an occasion when
their surface ships could be supported
by land-based aircraft. AT all events,
they would not be likely to get better
chance, and our invasion of the Philip
pines was threatening their one vital
sea route. So they tried, and they failed.
What are the consequences? First,
the Japanese will not be able to inter-
fere with our further progress in the
Philippines except by the resistance of
their local garrisons. They cannot
largely reinforce those garrisons, nor
can they withdraw them, though they
can probably concentrate them at two
or three focal points of major resistance,
such, for example, as the Manila Bay
area on Luzon.
Second, we now can range freely over
the whole Of the Pacific Ocean without
fear of concentrated attack by superior
forces; at least, we can do so until the
Japanese have repaired such of their
crippled ships as may finally make their
way back to home yards.
Third, we can probably begin to use
cruisers as well as submarines in the
South China Sea, and thus make an
end to japanese traffic through those
waters
Fourth, the japanese will not now be
able to offer much naval threat to
British amphipious operations in the
Bay of Bengal and generally in the
waters around Sumatra, Java and the
Malay Peninsula.
Fifth, the element of naval risk in
carrier strikes directly against the
Japanese homeland is much reduced,
though not altogether eliminated.
The stake of the Japanese in the
crippled ships is very considerable one.
The story of the pursuit of these units
is not yet fully told, but they include the
bulk Of the japanese battleship strength
and most Of their remaining heavy
cruisers.
How many OF them will ever get home
remains for the future to disclose. Some
may have to take refuge in harbors
which have no repair facilities (in
Formosa, perhaps, or the Ryukyu Is
lands, or in the Philippines themselves)
where they will ct once become targets
for our heavy bonbers, particularly the
Bass.
The nearest major Japanese navy
yard Is that at 6asebo, near Nasasaki,
on oft-bombed Kyushu Island.

The japanese Navy
BY M0i. Georxe Fieldina Eliof

The greatest naval battle In history
has ended in the complete defeat Of the
Japanese fleet.
That defeat must be measured, not
only by the Japanese losses. but by the
strategical situation which preceded and
follows the engagement.
Up to the time the japanese threw
in their feet to do or die, the existence
of that fleet as fleet in being" had al
ways to be taken into. account by our
commanders in the Western Pacific No
large scale move was possible unless 1t
could be protected by naval forces ade-
quate to deal with the whole japanese
Navy should the latter put in an appear
ance. The decision as to whether the ap-
pearance would be made was entirely up
to the enemy. This fact hampered our
freedom of action very considerably.
From the Japanese point of view, the
situation was one of choosing the mo-
ment at which their fleet could best be
employed, and of choosing always be-
tween the risk OF using it and losing
1t, and the advantages OF maintaining
the "flest In being" OF course, 1t be-
came increasingly obvious with each
American stride westward that the fleet
in being" idea was buying the Japanese
nothing except delay. We were not
being stopped: we could not be stopped
by anything short Of superior force.
Now, it is an axiom too often for,
gotten that the ultimate object of all
naval operations is the control OF mari
time communications the ability to
Use the sea for ones own purposes, mill
tary or otherwise, and to deny it to
the enemy. The defeat Of the hostile
fleet, or its destruction, may be an es-
sential step in the establishment Of such
control, but it is step toward a goal,
and not the goal ITSELF
The japanese had no use for q fleet If
1t could not keep open the one line of
maritime communications which was
vital to them-the route southward from
Japan to the oil of the Netherlands
Indies, the iron and tin and rubber OF
Malaga, and incidentally to their far
flung garrisons in those areas and
beyond. For the defense Of their main
islands against direct attack, their
money and material would be far better
expended In submarines and aircraft
than In bAttleships and cruisers. Indeed,
their only hope OF being able to use
their inferior neet at al was to use It
ct moment Of opportunity when 1t
might cut on = detachment Of the
superior forces opposed to II. and thus
bring the balance Of naval power some
what closer to Z level.

NEW YORK, April %. UP)-
The st. Louis Browns, supposedly
shy on pitching talent, were the
only unbeaten team in the American
league Saturday and only one of
their four victorious starters has
needed help from a relief hurler.
1t would be presumptious and
premature to label the Browns as
contenders on their performance
to date, but in most preseason
ratings they were regarded as
strong and seasoned combine, lack
ing only in first class pitchers.
Manager Luke Sewell, one of base
balls greatest catchers before he
went into retirement, is an able
handler of hurlers and with proper
rotation of his starters, may be
able to get more ouc of them than
anyone has anticipated. In addi-
ton to his four winners to date,
Jack Kramer, Steve Sundra Sig
Jakucki, and Nelson Potter, he has
one of the best relief pitchers in
the business, George Caster, and
one or two other likely starters.
GIANTS RECORD INT..CT
The New York Giants kept their
perfect record intact in the Nation
al league, defeating Brooklyn in the
Dodgers home opener 3 to 2, with
Ace Adams, in the role of a start
ing pitcher. Adams kept the Dodg-
ers from scoring until the seventh
when leaky fielding permitted
Dixie Walker to uribble double
that scored both their runs. The
Giants went after Whitlon Wyatt
in the first inning, and he retired
after yielding run, complaining
of arm trouble. A crowd OF 1851
saw the game.

Left-hander Harry Brecheen gave
the National league champion st.

shutout in three games, doing out
only four hits to spoil the Chicago
