MR. 'Smessage tome, in the
AVA last hours Of Bataan, had been sent
primarily to Macarthur, with a notation
that he should forward it on to me at Cor
regidor if he concurred. AS | have eX
planned, our Corregidor radio station
picked up the message from the White
House as it was sent to Australia.
| replied to the President but hear
ing nothing from Macarthur, | messaged
him as follows:
"The Presidents message appears
to leave to me the decisions which must
ultimately make unless anti-aircraft am
munitiOn in the near future and food in
the more distant future are received. If
am incorrect in this assumption hope
you will so advise me- The fall of
Bataan was severe blow, but it was in
evitable sooner or later in view of the
effectiveness of the enemy blockade.
With men i'm full health and vigOr we
could have held the enemy as we had
previously.
81 succeeded in withdrawing about
1000 military personnel and am now de-
termined to hold my present position
with Gods help until major diversion
by you in some other area reduces the
pressure on us here. Although my morale
and that of my troops is still high in spite
of adversely, word of cheer and en-
cOuragement from you would be well
coined by all. Sincerely" u.
Macarthur replied with one of his in
spring messages. Regarding the delay
in forwarding Mr.. Roosevelt's message,
Macarthur said, Il am sorry" In respect
