which comes from those who say
we cannot protect ourselves on
both the Asiatic and the European
fronts"
Dismissed from his Far Eastern
commands by President Truman.
Gen. Macarthur was given q
hero's acclaim by Congress.
He said at the outset of his
speech before a joint meeting of
the House and Senate:
II do not stand here for anv
partisan cause. The issues must be
resolved on a high plane and I
trust you will do me the justice
of understanding I am a fellow
American and that I speak with
neither rancor nor bitterness, but
with one purpose-to serve my
country" e.
"Cannot Surrender i'm Asia"
! He said that while Asia is called
the gateway to Europe. Europe is
also the gateway to Asia and that.
aside from the general statemen
he had made that both must be
protected from the global Com
munist front, he would deal with
conditions in Asia.
He added, however: "You cam
not surrender in Asia without dis
aster for Europe"
Gen. Macarthur spoke of the
revolutionary changes which had
taken place in Asia in recent
years. He said the people of the
Asiatic countries. long exploited
by colonial powers, have thrown
off the shackles and begun to live
in dignity of free men. Their liv-
ing standards are rising and he
said that whether you believe in
the colonial system or the new
direction which these countries
are taking, this new direction can
not be stopped.
Gen. Macarthur brought an
outburst of applause when he de-
clared that under no circum-
stances must Formosa fall into
unfriendly hands.
Warns of U. S. Defense Line"
Such an eventuality he said
would threaten the Philippines.
the loss of Japan and might force
our defense line back to Cali
fornia, Oregon and WASHINGTON"
In leading up to these state.
ments, the general had been trac-
ing the historical changes taking
place in Asia since World War II.
He pictured the pitifully low
standards OF living in that part of
the world and said that what the
people there are striving for is a
little more food. more clothing, a
roof over their heads and an urge
FOR political freedom.
These conditions, he said. form
the backdrop for the changes
that have taken place in this coun-
try's strategic frontier.
Prior to World War II, that
frontier was a salient which, he
said. extended through Midway,
Hawaii and the Philippines. He
said it formed IAN avenue of
weakness along which an enemy
could and did attack u.s."
Pacific Is Defense Moat.
After the victory in World
War II. Gen. Macarthur said.
our strategic frontier became the
whole Pacific Ocean-a vast moat
to protect us as long as we con-
trolled it,"
He said it consisted of a chain
ot defense extending in an arc

tionality's urge for political

tionality's urge fof political
These politicai-soeial condi-
tions have but an indirect bear
ing upon our own national Sc
curity, but do form a backdrop
to contemporary planning which
must be thoughtfully considered
if we are to avoid the pitfalls of
unrealism. OF more direct and
immediate bearing upon our ma
tional security are the changes
wrought in the strategic poten-
tial of the Pacific Ocean in the
course of the past war.
Prior thereto the Western
strategic frontier of the United
States lay on the littoral line
of the Americas, with an ex-
posed island salient extending
out through Hawaii, Midway
and Guam to the Philippines.
That salient proved not an out
post of strength but an avenue
of weakness along which the
enemy could and did attack.
The Pacific was a potential area
of advance for any predatory
force intent upon striking at
the bordering land areas.
All this was changed by our
Pacific victory. Our strategic
frontier then shifted to embrace
the entire Pacific Ocean, which
became a vast moat to protect
us as long as we held it. Indeed,
it acts as a protective shield
for all of the Americas and all
free lands of the Pacific Ocean
area. We control it to the
shores of Asia by a chain of
islands extending in an arc
from the Aleutians to the Mari
annas, heidi by us and our free
Allies.
Can Dominate Asiatic Ports.
From this island chain we can
dominate with sea and air pow
er every Asiatic port from
Vladivostok to Singapore-with
sea and air power, every port,
as I said. from Vladivostok to
Singapore - and prevent any
hostile movement into the
Pacific.
Any predatory attack from
Asia must be an amphibious
effort. No amphibious force can
be successful without control of
the sea lanes and the air over
those lanes in its avenue of ad-
vance. With naval and air SUI
premacy and modest ground
elements to defend bases, any
major attack from continental
Asia toward us or our friends in
the Pacific would be doomed to
failure.
Unoer SUCH conditions, the
Pacific no longer represents
menacing avenues of approach
for a prospective invader. It
assumes, instead, the friendly
aspect of a peaceful lake.
Natural Line of Defense.
Our line of defense is a natural
one and can be maintained with
a minimum of military effort
and expense. It emissions no at
tack against any one, nor does
it provide the bastions essential
for offensive operations, but.
properly maintained, it would be
an invincible defense against
aggression.
The holding of this defense
line in the Western Pacific is en-
tirely dependent upon holding
all segments thereof, for any
major breach of that line by
an unfriendly power would rem
der vulnerable to determines
