EYlNG PACIFIC WAR

Observers are keenly alert to the con-
certed moves now going on in the Pacific,
and there is general belief that the hour
is about to strike when we head for To-
kyo and the final strokes to finish OF
the Japs. The speed with which the y.
S. has swept the Marshalls islands leads
to wide conjecture on Jap strategy
1t is conceded we met less resistance
there than had been anticipated and for
which the Pacific leaders had made prep
arations to meet and overcome. The Jap
navy has been a negligible factor in this
great drive. Supply lanes were attacked
and broken by L. S. air and sea forces
with little opposition.
Move to TIE north and observers see
in the recent naval bombardment of the
gigantic Jan sea base on Paramushlru,
a tie-up with the Marshalls campaign.
Strategic bases gained in the Marshal's
cut the distance to China and to For
mosa, as we'll The Philippines are
brought closer to our assault fronts
From the Kuriles it is only short hop.
AS Pacific distances go, to Tokyo. And
looking east from Paramushiru are the
far west bases on the Aleutians.
Military watchers appear not so con-
cerned any more as to probable Jap
strength OF more Importance Is the
marshaling of adequate strength OF our
own. The outcome of the issue never
would be in doubt
It isn't in doubt. And the growing
belief is that we are on the verge OF the
decisive blow.
In no way would the threat of strikes
or the number of manhours lost by strikes
be lessened, nor would production be IN
creased bv a labor draft.--ClO Secretary
Treasurer James 3. Carey.
