THERE Is obviously a race on
in the Pacific.
The Japs are driving hard to
open the railroad that leat's
(luwn from northern China to
Canton. It is usually described
in the dispatches as the Canton
Hankow or the Canton-Peiping
line. It is a liltle more reveal
ing to describe it as the Shanghai-Canton
railroad for Shang
hai Is a great and accessible port,
across the East China sea from
Japan,, that connects with this
railroad to Canton.
Over this railroad, the Japs
want to get men and supplies
from their homeland and occu
pied northern China to the
southern China coast and the In
terior that lies behind this coast.
In this interior most of our
airfields are located.
w.
E need to get ashore on the
south China coast. We need to
get ashore before the Japs get
the shore line strongly held and
fortified aaglnst us and before
they GET TO our airfields in
the interior.
The Japs need to get set before
we can get there.
Hence the race.
r.
IY, you ask, don't we Just
sail In and land? We have a
navy that is capable or taKing
care of the Jap navy if it tries to
interfere.
What are we waiting for?
This is the answer: We are
waiting until we can get BASES
within striking distance of the
south China coast. Our warships
can't steam back to Pearl Har
bor, or even to the Marshalls,
'whenever they run out of fuel
and ammunition.
They have to have a base
NEARBY.,
Getting 'such a base is what
we have been fighting so hard
for at Saipan. But . it takes
time. We must not only get Sal
pan but must get supplies of fuel
and ammunition. We must pro
vide repair facilities, so that our
damaged ships can be got back
quickly into the fighting.
That is what we are doing now.
THE Japs are racing to get the
south China coast all -tied up
against us before -we ' can get
there. We are racing to get
there before the Japs can get it
tied up.
The race is so important that
