MARINES NOTE
ARMISTlCE DAY

NAGASAKI, Nov. 11-(Sunday)
-R-Along 3O-mile front deslg-
mated for the invasion OF japan
that was to come this month, Ma
rines gathered today to observe
Armistice Day and give thanks
that peaceful occupation MADE 1ne
battle unnecessary.
The services were more than or
binary Sunday worship and tne
men who were to have spearhead-
ed the assault on beaches near
here filled chapels situated on
grounds once marked out on battle
maps for American cemeteries.
All around them was evidence Of
what. they felt, would have made
invasion the bloodiest onslaught IN
history.
In the background lay insurmoun-
table volcanoes and mountains
honeycombed with caves and tun-
nels, elaborate beyond the ina
sination of even the combat veter-
ans.
Camouflaged radio towers ap-
proximately the Washington Monu-
ment in dimensions. There were
concrete blockhouses and pillboxes
and countless defenseS appearing
almost invulnerable to bombing.
The Japanese were ready for
the invasion.
Cities could be atom bombed
like Nagasaki, but nothing could
keep the japanese, with his rifle,
grenade and dreaded mortar, out
of the caves and Notifications deal
ing in wholesale death.
This was shown on Two Jima.
No spot of equivalent size ever
took such pounding as Two, yet
the Japanese held out there for 70
days and inflicted tremendous cas-
ualties upon the largest force OF
leathernecks ever assembled Tor one
engagement.
The invasion of Japan would
have been another Two Jima, null
tiplied many times, the Marines
believe.
Out of the ruin which air and
naval bombardment would have
left would have arisen every Jap
anese man, woman and child to
oppose the allied landings vicious
ly and fanatically.
Only quantity of atomic bombs
could have eliminated such resls-
lance. The feeling is that eve
would have won, but we would
have suffered unprecedented cas-
ualties.'
These thoughts ran through the
minds of Marines as they heard
their chaplains memorable the
men who died to teach the Jap
anese that Americans do not choose
to be killers
