Shanahan, USNR Academic Department Once more General MacArthur has brought the question of our Pacific strategy into the open by his forthright declaration oppos ing a prolonged campaign against the Japanese. General MacArthur has always opposed what he terms “island hopping.’^ Notwithstanding his in terest in bolder moves in the Paci fic his conception of the proper strategy may not be the same as that of Lord Louis Mountbatten, recently appointed commander-in- chief in southeastern Asia. It is well known that General MacArthur believes the short-cut to Japan lies through the Indies and over the Philippines. High- ranking spokesmen for the British and American armed forces are agreed, on the other hand, that neither the Aleutians nor the East Indies afford proper air bases for attacking Japan. The weight of their opinion, and apparently Mountbatten’s, is on the side of fighting in China, first by way of Burma and Thailand. Until Germany is defeated it will be impossible to carry out both MacArthur’s and Mountbat ten’s plans. And it appears most probable that the continental ap proach will be adopted first. In behalf of this strategy it may be argued that Burma has more mili tary significance than Australia. Our failure to protect Burma in 1942 was one of the ghastly mis takes of the war. A vast mili tary force was built up in Aus tralia instead. Yet this action was fully justified politically because of the Japanese threat to a British Dominion. From the standpoint of grand strategy, however, the troops sent to Australia stood on the periphery of the active theater. It is as far from Sydney to Yoko hama as it is from Seattle to that Japanese port. To fight Japan from an Aus tralian base would permit the enemy the luxury of slow delaying actions fought thousands of miles from his homeland. MacArthur’s adherents argue on the other hand that if the enemy is pinned down in the Indies he will be unable to reenforce the continental front. Furthermore the seizure of key bases in the mandated islands would ease the danger of flank at tacks upon our naval forays into the heart of the Japanese defense system. This is not an idle threat as the course of the war has shown that sea power flanking a com- Popular Shorts Added To Wednesday Movie Program More and better entertainment is in store for cadets at the Wed nesday evening movie showings in Memorial Hall. Starting next week, feature films such as Walt Disney’s car toons, Merrie Melodies, Looney Tunes, Pete Smith specialties. Passing Parades, and March of Time reels will be included on the Wednesday programs along with training films. Popular music by the swing section of the Pre-Flight band will provide added entertain ment. All cadets, members of the crew and officers of the Pre-Flight School are invited to attend the Wednesday showings which start at 1930, but the inclusion of “re stricted” training films makes it impossible to extend an invitation to families and civilian employees. Cadets Hear Pacific Expert Former Senator Hiram Bing ham, of Connecticut, an expert of long standing on island affairs in the Pacific, addressed the regi ment of cadets here last Wednes day and Thursday evenings. Mr. Bingham, who has spent 20 of his 67 years in the Pacific area, is on a lecture tour of Navy schools and bases at the request of the Secre tary of the Navy. munications route is more danger ous than air power. To break the blockade of China by land operations is not an enter prise to be undertaken lightly. On the continent of Asia the enemy is very strong. He has there the advantage of interior lines and a flexible system of rail and water communications. Both the terrain and the weather favor the defend ing army. According to the best estimates there are about thirty Japanese divisions in China proper, about forty in Manchuria along the Jlussian frontier, while another thirty-five are scattered throughout the Indies. Whether final victory is won by the island approach or won on the continent of Asia, the principal effort will have to be put forth by England and the United States. It is idle to believe that the Chinese armies will do most of the fighting. There are at present probably no more than fifteen field divisions in the Chinese army. To train and equip a Chinese army of millions would require a decade. Invest In The Future You’re Fighting For CROSS COUNTRY (Continued from page one) of the Duke-Navy Pre-Flight foot ball game, and will also be finished in the stadium. Setting the pace in the three mile scramble at Annapolis was Charles Beetham. He led the Pre-Flighters up to the finish line, and then gave way to Cadet J. R. Driscoll who grabbed first place by a tenth of a second. The Pre-Flighters took a win, place, and show with Cadet G. P. McKenna in third position. Num ber four ribbon fell to Midship man Ba!rry, captain of the Annap olis team. The victory came as a surprise to Lieut. Charles Werner, USNR, head track coach. None of the Pre- Flighters had any previous ex perience as cross country runners. In that the first six men running in the meet at Annapolis were clocked within three seconds of one another, Coach Werner had nothing but praise for the team. WRESTLERS (Continued from page three) and C. Mansir of the Devastators at 132; Cadets D. Holder, Sky rockets, and C. Rouillard, Coro nados, at 145; Cadet B. Finger, Devastators, and G. Connerton, Kingfishers, at 156; Cadets M. Seiver, Vindicators, and A. Wil son, Coronados, at 162; and Cadets J. Huggins, Vindicators, and K. Rhoad, Coronados, at 175. Cadet C. Coakley of the Buf falos won by fall in 4:15 over Cadet T. Carlin of the Skyrockets in the 138-pound class on Thurs day afternoon. Cadet A. Davids of the Mustangs, wrestling at 151, won by fall over G. Duffey of the Helldivers in 7:55. In the other Thursday bout Cadet R. Halliday decisioned Cadet A. Prybala in the closest match of the afternoon.
