Congress today did honor to the
commander of the Pacific Fleet
which brought defeat to the jap
anese-Admira Chester w. Nimitz.
The white-haired, ruddy-faced
fleet commander, for his part, re-
ported to Congress on the Pacific
victory at a joint session of the
Senate and House In the House
chamber
Japan's surrender, he told Con-
gress, had come at time when Ja-
pan was stronger in its military
forces than 1t had been when the at
tack was made on Pearl Harbor.
But the Japanese, he said, had no
alternative but to sue for peace,
since their navy had virtually been
destroyed and their merchant ma
rine almost wiped off the sea.
In the Japanese home islands at
the time of the surrender, Admiral
Nimitz said, more than 100000
trained soldiers were stationed at
the time of surrender and more than
5000. 900 were in China, Manchuria
and the islands, a total of more than
5000, 900 trained Army men, as COM
pared to 100000 plus when the war
began.
Jap Industry Strangled.
He pointed out, too, that Japan
had $500 planes, of which 5000 were
combat type, at the outset of the
war, and when she surrendered she
had 1000 planes, of which 5000
were combat planes, an increase Of
100 per cent.
Despite this military strength, he
said, the japanese had attempted
to sue for peace before Russia en-
tered the war against her and be-
fore the use of the atomic bomb.
I'VE had the sea power" Ad-
miral Nimitz said. ito cut the en-
emys supply lines. his industry was
strangled, he lacked gasoline for
his planes and food for his people "
Before he closed his report on
the Pacific war, Admiral Nimitz
made a strong appeal to Congress
to keep this country strong and
prepared for war.
Your fighting men did we'll, they
kept the faith and soon will be
coming home" Admiral Nimitz said
amidst applause. He called on Con-
gress to guarantee that this coun-
try shall never enter a war again
He said: I'VE have

were prepared. I pray that no fu-
