The American Suoerfortress in
augural of the Battle for Japan
has precipitated the crucial test
OF a military gamble watch the
japanese high command evidently
chose to make several months
ago.
Tokyo's war lords apparently had
to decide which were more i'm
portant to their master plan of
a prolonged wharf.-the factories of
the homeland or the raw riches of
Southwest Asia and the comnau-
nication lines tapping them.
They chose to hold their com.
munication lines a while longer.
Saipan and Leyte reflected the
decision.
Saipan was the key to the pro.
lection Of home industries from
the aerial attacks which now have
begun. The Japanese elected to
defend that highly strategic is.
land, and its neighbors, with their
original garrisons. Fleet support,
necessary to their full defense,
was provided only in a cautious
aerially-paced foray in which Jap
anese adnirals avoided surface
combat.

Atop a hill beyond the little
school building is a graveyard for
F'ilipinos who were suspected Of
helping the American cause.
When the Japanese first landed
they looted the houses, taking par
ticularly refrigerators and sewing
machines and sending them back
to Japan.
Most Of the residents led dual
lives during the occupation, try
ing to get along as best they could
with the japanese while supporting
the guerrillas in the hills.
The First Americans, to return
were greeted by waving, shouting
Filipinos, who lined the road for
several miles.
Father Faviano Daffon got out
his best bottle of Spanish wine,
which he had been saving for the
occasion ever since the fall of Ba-
taan.
