THE attack of the American
fleet upon the PaisH archi-
pelago eliminated A series of
assaults in the Japanese man
dated area OF Micronesia. They
indicate Japans inferiority IN
naval strength and air power.
The operation of reaching the
Philippines through Micronesia
became A favored plan of our
navy department after Japan
gained these islands at the end
of the first world war. 1t is now
working out brilliantly. Never
thelesS Palau is presumably the
most distant point to which our
navy can proceed while based
solely upon Pearl Harbor
In these bold thrusts our
battle fleet accompanied our
large air carrier force. Our
naval command hoped, and did
not hesitate 10 say so, that the
Japanese fleet would intervene
and thai =s=decisiYe naval
combat would occur.

In naval operations in the
Pacific, the Japanese navy has
not employed us capital ships,
with the possible exception Of
the battle of Midway. They have
used cruisers, destreyerS, and
other lesser craft, and airplane
carriers. from which they
struck us so severely al Pearl
Harbor.
But their main naval strength
is still held in reserve for
general naval action which they
hope will take place where they
will have the advantage. This
position is, primarily. proximity

them superiority in the battle.

the Pacific. From its station
there, our feet could engage an
enemy feet as far north as the
Aleutians or-as far south as
Samoa or as far TO the west as
Wake Island.
This makes Pearl Harbor a
great. probably the greatest
DEFENSIVE naval position in
the world. But for OFFENSIVE
action it is far too distant from
the islands and seas where it
must destroy the enemys naval
strength in order to win a war.
Our navy department Is now
asking an appropriation OF 80
billion dollars. 1t must be pre-
sumed that much of this STU
pendous sum is for the creation
of feet bases as far from Pearl
Harbor as that base is from the
ports of California.
The war Of the Pacific, at

a naval war. and its issue rests
upon the ability of our fieet-to
