The Pacific Bases

"Appeasement of the SoUiets has
been more clearly than eUer defined
as our only known state department
policy.
"Whot is more logical than to
expect that THIS SAME POLICY
WILL BE APPLIED TO THE
PACIFIC BASES?"
There is something more than
speculation or suspicion to support
this expectation.
Russia has already taken over
the strategic Kuriles, lock, stock and
barrel-and with full sovereignty.
Russian forces are in sole and
permanent occupation of the whole
of Sakhalin, previously occupied
jointly with Japan.
Permanent and powerful Russian
air bases are in process of establish
ment on the vital Spitzbergen penin-
sula, dominating the shortest airways
across the Arctic.
Russia confidently expects and
blandly intends sole occupying au
thority, if not ultimate sovereignty,
in Hokkaido, northernmost of the
main japanese islands-that having
been her main purpose promoted at
the Moscow conference.
Thus, there has been no obscurity
about Russian intentions or procras
tination in her pursuit of them.
Having achieved so MUCH
through appeasement, Russia may
be expected to seek MORE in the
same manner - with the Pacific
islands as her next objective.
There is indeed abundant reason
for the apprehension of Rep. Gear
hart, and for his conclusion that:
"The silence of the state depart
ment, the inactivity of the House
naual and foreign affairs commit
tees, are OMINOUS."

The grievances OF the SOL

let our commercial planes land at
fields We built"
In translating this general advice
into specific policies, Mr.. Meigs
formulated the subjoined advice:
Eve must sell what ve can,
rather than giUe it aDay. We must
out -tDait such poUers as the French,
Dho are biding their time against the
day when sufficient sentiment in the
United States Uru take the Ameri-
cans out of France and dump desired
stores in Frances lap.
And Ue must discourage the
tendency of some pouUers to charge
us rent for storing supplies tOhich
helped saUe those countries from
starvation, disease, and Slavery"
Unless we inject Yankee common
sense into our foreign dealings, Mr..
Meigs admonished, we will confirm
growing feeling in certain countries
that we are nation of suckers.
1t would appear that the descrip-
tion of Uncle Sam as Uncle Sap,
which followed World War I, might
again be in vogue and might be
justified.

DEP. BERTRAND w. GEAR
IL HART of California has ex-
pressed apprehension that the recent
appeasement of Soviet Russia at the
expense-and to the detriment-of
the American occupation of Japan
has ominous implications with re-
spect to the future status of other
Pacific areas.
The American navy has classified
% Pacific islands, including many of
japanese sovereignty before the re
cent war, as essential to American
defense in the Pacific.
But more than five months have
elapsed since the end of the Pacific
war, and the American government
has made no move to establish Amer
lean sovereignty over these islands,
and in fact has been mysteriously
silent about whatever policy it in
tends to pursue respecting them.
Rep. Gearhart wonders If this
inaction and silence portends
FURTHER appeasement of Russia.
He says:
Russia is shouting an inordindte
INTEREST in international trustee
ship for the former Japanese man
dated islands"
The record of Russian success in
the promotion of her interests is GER
tainly not one to be dismissed
lightly.
In Europe, the major Russian in.
terest has been to BOLSHEVIZE
her neighborS- that has been
largely achieved, in consequence of
abject appeasement and supine yield
ing by America and Britain.
Moreover, observes Mr.. Gearhart'

IF WE are to make a contribution

Neither the war department
nor the navy department is yet
ready with the answers. The

strength Of forces maintained by
other countries.
DOTH army and navy are try

veterans.
Probably they will be brought

they can be replaced by men

These recruits for a while
may be young men called up by

may or may not be re-enacted.

nately, many Of them are

Detroit evening times., 1946-01-15

OUR war on the continent of
" Europe came to an end last
May. Japan capitulated last
August. Victory in these two
wars came dramatically and
swiftly as soon as the military
strength of this country could
be brought into action.
Eight months ago this country
had the greatest military poWer
of any nation. and Of all times.
Its na0y was greater than all
naval poWer in the WhoIe World.
IL had accomplished whdt
opinion had regarded as i'm
possible.
IL had reUoIutioniIed the doe
trines Of naval stortegy.
In air poWer Ws had de-
Ueioped strategic bombing to the
point Whers the success of both
wars depended on IL.
And ~. had what no other
country had more than suf-
hcisnt corps of trained, od-
Usnturous pilots to fly those
planes.
For land fighting ws had the
most powsrfui and efficient
armies in the Worid.
In the course Of the War Ws
had transported to eight theaters
Of operations oUerseos, more
than seven million fighting men.
IN THE few months since VIC
u tory, the personnel of these
great forces has been in process
of disbandment. More than six
million men have been dis
charged from our army, navy,
airforce, and coast guard.
This too must be regarded as
remar k a b ] g achievement,
though obviously it has not sat-
isfied public opinion, and this
dissatisfaction expressed widely
here at home, spread quickly TO
our forces overseas, and has oc-
casioned difficulty in preserving
the soldierly reputation OF our
fighting men. in countries where
it is important that this reputa-
tion should stand as a salutory
memorial to the martial spirit
of this nation.
This rapid dissolution Of our
forces awakens apprehension in
some very judicious minds. We
are told that at the present
moment our navy could not
muster a single task force that
would be fit for battle, and that
there is no longer a single Amer
ican army that could take the
field at the strength requisite
for action. NJ-
Fortunately, there Is little
possibility of an early need
for such combat formations
and this result Of our rapid
military disintegrstion need
not alarm us.
