JAPAN HAD LOST ALMOST
HER ENTIRE NAVY

Admiral Nimitz revelation of the an
inhalation of the japanese navy comes as
no surprise, yet his official report is
nOne-the-less staggering. Piece-meal re-
ports since we really got into the fight
ing in the Pacific had told of terrific
losses to the sea fighting strength of the
Japs Yet the world hardly was prepared
to learn that out of an armada, modern
to the minute, consisting Of 1872 combat
vessels had been trimmed to a mere 55
when Hirohito decided to quit.
When Japan got ready to conquer
the United States" she had a right to
boast proud navy She had violated
all the understandings and agreements
on construction, however, it must be ad
mitted she did this while the other pow
erS failed to make a mOve-and had
built up her navy with the advantage Of
her experts having free access to the
naval yards of this country and Euro
pean countries.
In many ways Japan excelled all the
rest Of the world in design and construc-
ton
Nimtz' report goes to emphasize fact
all the world except Japan knew-that
she was licked long before August Ia
That she was licked when she lost her sea
supremacy.
Hirohito depended upon his navy for
two phases Of his war strategy-to beat
her enemies at long range and to pro-
tect her supply routes in her program
of aggressive expansion and to protect
her homeland from invasion.
In both she failed completely. With
out a formidable navy, Japan is help
less to war.
She must never have even the start of
anOthC sea power
