ON THE 31st of March the
" American public was advised,
by a laconic message from Adm.
Nimitz. that our navy had init
ated ATTACKS on the Japanese
held island OF Palau AT dawn
on March 20, and that these at
tacks we're continuing.
There was no further news
until April 8. though we were
informed by reports from cor
respondents that this was the
most powerful force yet en-
ployed, perhaps in any operation
in naval history.
We knew also that II had
pushed much more than l,0OO
miles into the enemys area, lar
beyond its own harbors of sup
ply. and that some Of its ships
were being refueled at sea.
TT HAD left the great Japa-
L nese sea citadel of Truk nearly
1.2O0 miles in its rear, and was
raiding a great area of western
Micronesia. which had been
Judged 10 be immune from our
attack. because of its distance
from any harbefs or bases which
we yet hold.
A constant bombardment OF
enemy positions in the rear OF
this striking, force, from Wake
TO Truk to Hollandia, on the
coast of New Guinea. was kept
up necessarily by our army and
navy air strength. in order to
prevent their activity while this
expedition OF the fleet pro-
ceeded far 10 the westward.
THIS is the greatest and most
l. daring illustration of the
strategy which has been de-
veloped in Pacific warfare.
1t is no longer island hop
ping" but the by-passing of
fortified enemy positions, which
have not been taken. for the
assault on islands many hum
dreds of miles further on the
course TO our objective. which
is the great island OF Min
danao, the Sulu Archipelago to
the south. and the great open
seas which enclose these is
lands on both sides.
The operation was more than
great raid on the Palau
Archipelago preliminary TO its
eventual capture.
Like the previous assaults OF
our navy on Truk and on the
Marianas islands (Saptan, Tin
ian and Guam il was dare"
10 the Japanese battle fleet TO
risk decisive engagement with
our own fleet on the high seas.
The japanese navy did not
take the dare"

tanks, and, in a single action
they may disch arge every
torpedo, which is their inn
portant weapon.
After and even during en-
gagements, fleet needs safe
harbors to which damaged and
crippled ships can retire for
safety.
Otherwise the slow speed OF
a damaged vessel may mean its
doom.
We must assume that the
japanese have such a support
ing base in the great harbor OF
Manila Bay, and that it Is q
secure refuge for disabled vess
sells by reason of the fortifica-
tions of Corregidor.
Only when action Is offered
within a few hundred miles OF
Manila Bay will the Japanese
fleet meet our own, in decisive
battle.
This is why I have repeatedly
expressed the idea that we will
not meet, short of the Celebes
or Sulu seas.

Throughout Jackson's eight

sible third, were fighting ships.
The rest were cargo vessels
or oil tankers, which by reason
OF their vulnerabihty and low
speed, seem to have preferred
the futile protection of harbors
and air coverage, TO the risks
OF flight across the sea.
One japanese battleship,
which left the harbor before the
arrival of our force, was struck
by a torpedo of an American
submarine, but succeeded in
getting away.
THE reason the japanese fleet
Il refused battle at Palau
does not seem difficult to under
stand.
Although our own fleet was
very far from its harbors OF
resort and supply, the japanese
fleet also was too distant at
Palau, from its own bases to
give it that advantage which 1t
is seeking.
