we shall note below, the mill

ships of the line had no effect
on the outcome.
In many respects the Saipan
action was a repetition of the
Battle of Coral Sea and Mid
way in 1912. In September Of
that same year I wrote in a
leading magazine: Those en-
gagements were played up as
sea battles in the official COM
muniques, but they were moth
ing of the sort. The naval
forces never even came into
contact. Those were sea battles
only in the sense that aviation
fought over the sea and that
navies provided the targets"
TT is quite possible that the
l. Japs were not fleeing but
Turing us within land based
aerial range. Because such de-
coy is dangerous. they may de-
liberately have decided to risk
old and outmoded units. Our
admirals showed good sense in
rejecting the bait. They might

MAJOR DE SEVERSKY

NOW that the smoke of the
~ naval battle west of Saipan
in the Pacific-on June Is and
19-has cleared. we can at
tempt a closer view of the
engagement.
The first thing to be noted
Is that, from the aviation view
point, the battle took place in
a vast "no-man's land" The
theater of action, about half
way between the Mariana and
the Philippines, was outside the
reach of land-based aviation
from either side.
We need only imagine the
reach of airplanes doubled-as
is altogether possible at the
present point in aeronautical
science-to realize that land
based air power would have
changed the whole picture.
Even the illusion that it was a
naval battle would have dis
appeared. This kind of battle.
fought between contending sea-
borne aviation, is a temporary
phenomenon in the transition
between the epoch Of sea power
and epoch of air power.
THE second and most signifi-.
Il cant fact is that the sur
face forces, the actual fleets,
were never in contact at all.
They provided floating bases for
their own air power and floating
targets for the enemy's air

MO ONE who has not expert
~ enced it can appreciate the
deep emotions and convictions
of free men attending such a
convention as the Republican in
Chicago.
Where else in all this world
at war can tens of thousands
of men and women convene in
opposition TO the government IN
power, convene and meet in
freedom and in safety?
That is the heart of the
United States. That is the
greatness of our country-one
indivisible, but free. and as free
in time of war as in time Of
peace.
! looked into the faces or
those thousands in the Chicago
stadium. They came from every
part of the country. They trav-
eled at will from every state In
the Union without the consent
of any governmental authority.
They wore badges and buttons
and carried placards. every
word of which indicated opposi-
ton to the current administra-
ton of the United States.
They met to change the gov
eminent, to substitute for him
who heads the state some one
else of their own choosing. They
were not craven conspirators.
hiding in caves and cellars.
They were not communicating
by sign language. They were
not hiding underground fearful
of prying eyes and listening
ears. They were not scared.
They were free men, expressing
in freedom their ideas and be-
liefs. their hopes, their faith in
what is right and best for their
country. They were performing
a privilege Of citizenship.
THAT Is what makes the
Il American people different
from any other people upon all
this earth; we do not fear our
own government. We may
favor it or oppose ii. but we are
not afraid of it. And not being
afraid Of II. we support it 10y

can support and differ from it
at the same time.
The paradox Of loyalty and

Air
Power

teal demonstration of the argyll
ment.
Suppose that both sides had
equipped the shores in their
possession with long range air
power. The Americans would
use as their bases the Marianas,
Guam. zap and Palau. and the
Japanese as their bases the Phil.
ippines, Formosa and Japan
proper. Then the West Pacific
would be a lake ringed by OPP
posing air forces, each capable
of striking at any point in this
area. Under such conditions any
ship that ventured into the
lake, whether built in 1912 or
1914, would be instantly de-
stroyed by air power. That, in
effect, is the picture of the
entire ocean in the near future.
There is no question that our
occupation of Saipan was
looked upon by the Japanese
with great apprehension.
But ii was not until the re-
cent bombing of Japan by the
B-29 Superfortresses that their
morale was rocked by a vision
of Saipan as a possible base for
long range aviation.
1t is now probably the Japa-
nese who are asking, Where is

be surprising if under the pres
sure of home opinion the Japa-
nese navy may now be obliged
to take larger risks.
