Meaning of Formosu


OF FormoSa named it THE Beauti-
ful, because of its mountain ranges,
rising tier on tier in parallel chains
running the length of the island and
presenting an unusually striking
spectacle when viewed from offshore.
The Tokyo high command of today
may well call it The indispensable" !"
because 1t is literally the key to the
vast new colonial empire, ranging
from Central China to Burma, Sing
apore and the Dutch Indies. De-
prlVed OF the Formosan key, that
empire would "wither on the vine" as
effectively as do the isolated Japa-
neSe garriSonS in the Solomons. New
Guinea and the Mandated Islands of
the Pacific. Even the cutting of China
IN twain and the resultant opening
OF an overland route from Manchu-
ria to Malaga would be only pal
latlve. 1t could never replace the
severed sea routes from Japan
southwark, all of which must pass
through the 9O-mile channel be-
tween Formosa and the Chinese
coast. For it should be understood
that those sea lanes are two-way
affairs. While troops and equip
ment 60 southwark, the return voy-
age brings to Japan oil, rubber, tin
and many other things, including
foodstuffs, vital to Japan's long-run
ability to equip and maintain itself.
Thus, the loss of Formosa would be
a blow hardly less fatal than the
loss Of the Korean
bridgehead to mainland Asia or an
invasion of the homeland itself.
All this should be borne in mind
when evaluating the significance of
our current aerial bombing cam
palgn OF Formosa-the greatest and
most sustained air operation staged
by us in the Pacific-Far Eastern
War. 1t conforms to a strategic
pattern visible on several other oc-
casions when sustained air attacks
were the prelude to landing opera
tions. An invasion of Formosa
would likewise conform to previous
strategy Of by-passing big japanese
garrisons when this could safely be
done. In this instance the by
passing would be on a gigantic scale,
including not only the japanese
forces in the Philippines but also
those in the Dutch Indies. It would
be an incomparably bold stroke
which, If successful, would pay
enormous dividends.
However. the Tokyo high COM
mand is well aware of the danger
and has doubtless done everything
to avert it. Whether or not the I'M
perial battlefield will be risked in
its defense, Formosa is presumably
very hard nut to crack. It is a big
island, 225 miles long and averag-
ing 70 miles broad, it's resultant
area of nearly $4,000 square miles
being ~ times the size of Mary
land, Of its 100000 inhabitants
fully 100000 are japanese colonists
who could add their strength to the
regular garrison troops. Japan took
Formosa from China just half CEN
tury ago, and must have fortified it
intensively. The conquest of For
mosa would require a gigantic ex-
peditionary force and secure sup
ply lines. Whether we have the
requisite strength to tackle the job
at this time may soon be disclosed.

On subsequent mornings We discussed
places of interest for sightseeing after
of11ce hours, opportunities for going to
school evenings, concerts, theaters, State
societies, churches. We organized eight
bowling teams and, later, softball teams.
The men Of the branch contributed to
a fund established by the director to
help tide over the period until the first
pay checks arrived. In other words, we
became organized as one large family.

This is the story of one group of girls
in one Government agency at a time
when the agency itself was not fully
established. I am sure that it can be
matched In many other Government
agencies. Realize what effort is di-
rected today, three years later, when
the agency is equipped to provide per-
sonnel guidance. To-day OPA has an
employe relations staff which will
assist in practically every type of per-
sonal problem. Even though they are
housed in an ex-warehouse, they have
established a recreation room where
one may borrow book from the lending
library, play chess, checkers or DOM
inoes, practice on q piano or play ping
pong.
The Government girl faces the usual
hometown temptations in Washington;
she also Is presented with the oppor-
tunity for indulging in the Nations
finest culture. She will make the choice
and 1t will be based upon her home
training.
