DEC 27, 1944 SAN MATEO TFMES--9 I A I MI0. CCM. OttAlO C. THOMAS, U. S.M.C Writlem for Cenirtl ttit mtwtftper LOS ANGELES, war with Japan a brawl--M holds a and no quarter aaked or jiven.

Into that brawl threw the world'a beat flghtinj men and capable of any enemy. On aome aides hear It the machines rather than brawn and brains that will Suppose we examine the PaclBc picture critically. Our war with Japan Is the flnt great war of modem times between great naval powers. It has, therefore, posed problems for our leaders of a peculiar nature. Tour military and naval man prepares himself for the future by study of wars of the past In order that he may learn the fundamentals of military and naval operations and the underlying principles by which they are governed.

He must, however, be at all times alert to determine the significance of the materials which science and Industry of his day places at his disposal Since this is the first great war between great naval powers, history provides no large volume of precedent for consideration. Our role has been further complicated by the necessity for determining how the Intricate machine of today may be most effectively applied to insure success. It may be worth while to put forward a reason why this double problem of paucity and oveiplenty has been successfully met. In the modern concept of war we have been led to visualize straggles between the great machines of opposing forces. We close our eyea and think of the buzz-bomb, tank, rocket, su- perfortress, amphibian tank, and even the lowly bulldozer as doing the greater part In helpinr to overpower the enemy.

Is Servant It appears, particularly in war, that the machine overtops all, and that man is its servant This is misconception. Especially in war, the machine Is servant to man. Human which embodies skill and courage and tenacity, or human weakness, whose hand-maidens a hesitancy and Indecision, Will decide the issue, i This human strength and human weakness will find its result regardless of where it exists. For success, strength is necessary in all ra.iks from private to general, and they lean upon eackjither. This Pacific war is also one between nations of completely different mentalities, ideals and religion.

Too, it is of that difficult type known as amphibious warfare. Perhaps in no kind of warfare is the need of human strength more urgent than in the amphibian phase. In addition, this urgency is at its height In the Pacific where we combat an enemy saturated with brutality and steeped in fanatical disregard of human life, one who knows not human values as you and I understand them. We plan and we fight a war of extermination. Such a war has but a single result The victor lives; the vanquished dies.

The theater in which we fight presents characteristics difficult to overcome. In addition to those presented in all areas of amphibious operations, namely climate, hydrographic, topographic, terrain and weather, there is one factor which dominates all others, timt of distance.

No with piers at which to handle hundreds of thousands of tons of supplies are available at our newly won bases. Everything that we need we must-carry with us. That which we would use, we must first construct The setting sun of Dec. 7, saw our nation ill prepared for the stupendous undertaking with which it was confronted.

Sea, air and land power was at extremely low ebb. The fact that the Pacific was to be designated by the high command as a a theater meant that the prior claim upon materials, principally land and air, would be granted elsewhere. Because of these established priorities, the Pacific was to operate for many, many months with inadequate quantities of badly needed equipment When the story of this war is written, one of the conclusions drawn perhaps will be that the Japs' desire for possession of material resources may have blinded him to the fact that wars are won by the defeat of the enemy. In any case, he rapidly drove to the south in a series of conquests until the Battle of the Coral Sea in May, 1942, and the Battle of Midway in the following months gave him some inkling of what the future held in the way for a stroke which our leaders were not slow in taking. When the Tide Turned Eight months, to the day, after Pearl Harbor, an American naval task force comprising aircraft carriers, battleships, cruisers, destroyers and a division of Marines successfully effected the seizure of the islands of Guadalcanal and Tulagi in the Central Solomons.

There commenced a bitter campaign which was to continue for months, over a year of toil in the jungle-covered fever-ridden islands ot the South Pacific.

Vicious night battles between opposing naval forces with increasing frequency. Out of this campaign we not only achieved success. We gathered many lessons.

We learned that only by use of a balanced, highly integrated force, containing elements of all arms cam an amphibious war be successfully waged. We also learned that in modern war, ships cannot safely operate without support of aircraft; that aircraft in overwhelming numbers must be at least partially land based; and that land bases can only be secured by ground forces. No single may with safely be omitted in war today. Having taken our enemy's measure in the South Pacific, we were prepared to carry the war to him in great strides, strides that were necessary in order to move our Increasing power, sea, air and land, toward hostile areas of a critical nature.

The decision was to destroy that arch by first removing the keystone, and In the months of and July just passed, the islands of Saipan, Tinian and Guam were seized after much bitter fighting. Two months, late'r we were in possession of a substantial foothold in the Palaus. Only recently, forces of the Southwest and Central Pacific Joined in a successful assault on the central Philippines.

Here we must draw the curtain. We draw that curtain with an abiding confidence, A confidence which finds its source in the realization that we have in the Pacific a well-balanced, highly integrated, smooth functioning war machine-a machine composed of ships, aircraft, and weapons of all types manned by men who months of trial and hardship learned and learned well the ways of modern war, A few weeks ago we saw Admiral Halsey's Third Fleet working Its will in Japan's own back yard.
