The Japanese Gamble
By Maj. Georse FieIdinx Eliot

At long last the japanese have taken
the great gamble. They have flung
upon the board Of war their greatest
card: Their battle feet. And they have
lost it.
That is the, only conclusion that can
be drawn from the reports now avail
able of the naval operations which
began October 49, and are still in prog
ress, in the waters of the Philippine
archipelago.
When / wrote my column on October
Is it was already clear that the Jap
anese objective was the destruction of
Admiral Kinkaid's 7th Fleet and the
mass of transports, supply vessels and
landing craft accompanying it, and the
isolation of the U. S. 9Th Army on Leyte.
The two japanese task forces coming
through the islands were to do this
job, closing in on Leyte Gulf from
north and south. The carrier task force
coming down from the north was,
meanwhile, to keep Admiral Halsey's
3rd Fleet entertained
***
The attack on Leyte Gulf was also a
double operation. No doubt the jap
anese thought Admiral Kinkaid would
concentrate against the stronger Of the
two forces, that approaching from the
north by way of San Bernardino Strait;
this would leave the southern force,
coming through Surigao Strait, more or
less clear to get in among the trans
ports and to lombard the troops and
installations ashore on Leyte. But the
approach of both forces was discovered
by our aircraft and submarines on
Monday, so that tactical surprise on
Wednesday morning was impossible.
1t Is not yet certain whether Admiral
Kinkaid was heavily reinforced in the
interval, but at any rate he made the
best possible use of the forces he did
have available. His decision to divide
his striking power was bold, but the
event fully justified it. He appears vir-
tually to have wiped out the southern
japanese detachment, while holding of
the northern group by using planes of
his escort carriers.
The escort carriers C'Baby Flat-topss)
apparently were hard pressed for time |;
one of them was lost and others
damaged. But they did their duty
nobly until help reached them: Some
Of Admiral Kinkaid's surface units and
carrier task force from the Third
Fleet. All four of the enemy battle
ships were further damaged tthey had
all been damaged on the. previous day
while coming through the Sibuyan Sea.
but apparently were still in fighting
trim. Now they had to retreat back
through San Bernardino Strait "at low
speed, trailing OIL" OF nine cruisers,
one was sunk in the day action and
one during the night pursuit by Sur
face ships OF the Pacific Fleet" This
indicates that the pursuit Is. being con-
tinued through the strait, and that the
damaged battleships are not BY any
means cut % dnneo0.

Many German wanted no part In

never voted for Hitler in a free election.
More than 10 years of his rule must have
made them more aware than ever of the

Campaign Questions

To the Editor OF The STAR
Is the New Deals foreign policy"
vaguely but vociferously put forth as a
thing of flawless perfection, something
to divert the minds of the American
people from the domestic bungle, so
that it can put across its paramount
aim: Reelection?
Can the New Deals foreign policy"
or anybody's-be more than a blind
venture into the dark, when European.
and this time Asiatic, power politics
gets going in high again and resent
ments overflow against any far-off ma
ton seeking to put in its voice and not
just more of its billions?
Does calling Churchill Winnie and
Stain Joe, and being photographed in
smiling intimacy with them, indicate a
corner on human wisdom in regard to
foreign policies?
Does the current set of big brains"
know where they are going, or can
they assure the people better for
eign policy" than any other big brains
such as might succeed them in power
in 1945?
Frankly we don't know. Does any

NATIONAL KNOCKERS
&C. r. DOherty in Missoula County Tim

Many years ago a national writer used the medium of the Saturday
Evening Post to whale the life out of northeastern Montana. He called
it the Triangle and included a part of central Montana-where 1 happened
to be publishing a weekly paper. The people in the area arose as one
man to demonstrate. The newspapers and the civic clubs swung their
heaviest guns to the attack. So vicious was the reaction that the Post
moderation insofar as the reporter could go and save face.
Recently Harpers magazine carried a article written by one of
Montanas latest additions to the University staff. 1t declares that
Montana is ruled by the ACM and the Montana Power Co. That our
citizens are mere slaves for the two companies. -
Also by another writer, there appeared a n article in a national
magazine wherein it was set out that Montana could not prosper because
the same two above mentioned companies kept the lid on all progress.
Yet it told about how Eddys bakery started as a one man project and
spread throughout the state and neghboring states. Eddy was supposed to
be the unusual-we suppose tM. ..
To all this nationwide knocking I take exception-and 1 don't care
whether the writer is a college professor IT ham reporter. I don't like
I have seen firms start and expand. Firms who we're 81 busy minding
their own business that they had little time to worry about company
interference. His minding his own business accounted for the success of
the Eddy Bakeries. - +" Il
I can also think of many small business men who have made a
success of their enterprises by working hard and attending to business
A small business man has a better opportunity for success in Montana
than in any other state in the Union. Men with money in Montana look
kindly upon the struggling young business man.
This holds good today as it did yesterday Montana will continue to
progress, will continue to prosper because the people of Montana are
workers and have faith in their state. We don't wish to be a California
nor a New York-we intend to be Montana. Those who declare we are
who are dissatisfied with the way life has treated them; men who
think that they have never been appreciated nor properly honored. Look
ng for a scaregost such men satisfy their ego by charging their unhappy
to the Company.
I know the Company is large and formidable. Thirteen years ago
invaded their territory and for three long years I was put to the test
fire and sword" I won. We can be friends now. However, I often think
would be the condition if every man with the desire and a hatful
type could start a newspaper in Missoula and eat regularly. If you are

rother, you will work. A bit of intelligence also helps.

NO TIME TO REST

For those on the home front who may be prone to coast a
little, thinking the war is all but won, we would like to quote
Mike Mansfield, congressional representative from western Mon
tana and an authority on Far Eastern affairs.
Earlier this month, on the eve of his leaving on a special
mission to Chunking, Representative Mansfield declared, 1.-THE
war with Japan is not half over" He said that heavy bombing
of the people of Japan proper would not mean an end to the
fight. Japan has industrial centers in Manchuria and China
which can carry on and where military leaders may direct the
war if necessary this wel-infor1ned congressman asserted.
Increased production of war supplies, geographical advan-
tage in defending shipping facilities, territorial gains in China
and economic neutrality-suspicious. are just some OF the fac
tors which point to a prolonged struggle in the Far East"
And, he added, "Only when Japan men and materials are
completely exhausted will the fight be over
Japan is on the losing side, but nothing points to its let
down. Ask the men who fought on Guam or Saipan or who are
today fighting in the Philippines-many of whom have been in
the Pacific for almost three years. America is on the winning
side, but every hour we stay in the war means loss of many more
American lives, shedding of more American blood.
There is absolutely no excuse for anyone to avoid his
in the current War Loan campaign or in any other
duty that befans all good citizens. Roy Hillman, our county
bond drive chairman, expressed it in a few words when he
said. Lets all work hard now and take a real vacation after
the war But not before.
