"A Great Naval Victory

THE proportions of our great naval
l. victory in the waters adjacent to
the Philippines, while not as yet de-
cisive in the Pacific war as a whole,
are obviously indicative of the final
result.
The japanese navy has suffered
grievous losses in its already de-
pleted establishment.
The japanese nation is probably
unable to replace such losses, and is
wholly incapable in any event of
matching the vast and mounting
naval power of the United States.
ONCE this engagement in the
- vicinity of the Philippines prob
ably represents the last opportunity
the japanese will have to challenge
the American navy on anything like
equal combat terms, and in circum-
stances of Japan's own choosing, the
issue is no longer in doubt.
The American navy has fought
better than the japanese.
1t is more resourceful, is better
schooled in strategy and tactics.
In every way, it is superior
maritime fighting organization.
1t is superior ship to ship, gun to
gun and man to man over the Japa-
nese, if it should be necessary to fight
that way, which it is not.
Now we have superiority in
NUMBERS of ships, guns and men
in addition to the superiority in
QUALITY which we have always
possessed.
These would not be safe conclu.
sions, if they were solely based on
emotions and pride and the fervor
of our confidence in the American
navy.
Once we were TOO emotional
about the Pacific war, and guessed
wrong about the japanese, and
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-11-02

moderated and underestimate
them.
That was why our navy was
widely dispersed around the world
at the start of the war, and why the
inadequate naval forces assigned TO
the Pacific were found like sitting
ducks at Pearl Harbor.
That was when politicians rather
than trained sea fighters were run
ming the navy.
That was the reason for our early
losses and defeats in the Java Sea
and the Macassar Straits.
BECAUSE of all these things,
u which the japanese mistook as
proof of their own proves and SUI
periority, the American navy had to
lick it's wounds for long time and
bide it's own time.
The American navy is through
biding it's time.
1t was always a grand navy, of
splendid ships and dauntless men.
Now it is q GREAT navy, the
very greatest in all the world and
all history, with MORE fine ships
and men as well as the BEST ships
and men.
We no longer need to consult our
emotions about these facts.
THE great and vital victory off the
L Philippines affords PROOF of
them, and the floating masses of
japanese wreckage ATTEST them,
and the justifiable pride and affec-
tions we rightfully have for our navy
ACCLAIMS them.
The American navy never ran
from the fights it had to lose through
no fault of it's own.
Now it is fighting to win and IS
winning, not alone with superior
numbers and quality of ships and
men, but in the cold wrath and with
the supreme courage and skill of an
unbeatable fighting organization.

McArthurs swift advance to
Samar and his capture of its
capital, Catbalogan, accom-
plished several things.
1t gives the navy the harbor
and inland bay Of karigara
where elements of our feet can
find a base. if this is desired, 10
pursue naval operations in the
Bisayan group of islands.
1t also gives Macarthur the
island which dominates the San
BeTnardino Straits. the custom
airy ship channel by which YES
sells crossing the Pacific enter
Philippine W alters and reach
Manila Bay.
Otherwise. Samar is unimpor-
tant. II is A very large island,
nearly fiat. but difficult TO de-
velOp or 10 traverse. by reason
of the sharply eroded limestone
surface which covers nearly its
whole area.
Shoes are worn TO fragments
IN few hours on most of
Samar's trails.
Whole attachments have been
lost for days in its thick brush
and Jungle
The population of Samar is
limited 10 a few coastal towns
and TO some rich valleys like
that of Gandara. where splendid
hemp is grown.
But, from a military stand
point, MacArthur'S capture of
Samar is important
II brings him 10 within few
miles of the southern tip Of
LuZon.
And close AT hand on that
great island is SorSogon Bay, an
other possible position for our
navy close to the San Bernar-
dino Straits.
