Fog-Shrouded
From Kiska Is Something New
By GLENN BABB
Associated Press Foreign News Editor
(Glenn Babb was chief of the Tokyo bureau of the Associated
Press for eight years, from 1928 to 1936.)
The fog-shrouded flight of the Japanese from Kiska, an astoun
ding departure from their customary last-ditch, cornered-rat
tactics, may be the tip off on one of the great decisions, one of
the climactic turning points of the
war.
In the Aleutians at least the ene
my has abandoned the strategic
plan under which hefoCight to
the death on Guadalcanal and Attu,
in ipua and at Munda. Strategic
retreat is something new in the
Japanese manner of fighting. It is
not part of the Samurai code. It
must have been something terribly
compelling that led to the high
command's abandonment of the
last foothold on North American
territory, which the Japanese peo
ple had been told was a prize be
yond price.
Sensible bat Unusual
Of course it was obvious to all,
especially . to the canny, calculat
ing generals and admirals at im
perial headquarters that the Kiska
garrison , was doomed if it stood
and fought Nothing was to be
gained : by battle f except a few
thousand American find Canadian
casualties and satisfaction of the
old warrior code that rules put
surrender and retreat But hith
erto the Japanese command has
not heeded such realistic consid
erations. What does the flight from Kis
ka mean? Is it the first step in a
new strategic plan of hemispheric
proportions, a withdrawal from the
far outposts to some inner, more
defensible fortress? Or is it a pre
liminary to a new offensive move,
a desperate lashing out at some
supposedly vulnerable joint in the
allied - armor, perhaps at the be
hest of andto save Japan's sorely
beset partners in Europe?
Kuaslxa Attack Possible
It might be the latter. There is
no doubt that Hitler's representa
tives in Tokyo have been using
all the persuasive powers at their
command to convince To jo and
company that the only hope of the
axis partners to avert destruction
is common, concerted action, some
devastating blow now, before it
is too late. The one thing that
would,: for the moment at least,
most improve the outlook for Ger
many would be a Japanese attack
on Soviet Siberia, which might
weaken the terrible, inexorable
pressure that the. Red army is ex
erting on the Wehrmacht
Such an attack is certainly a
possibility. The flower of the Jap
anese army, some thirty-odd div
isions, half a million men or more,
that make upthe Kwantung ar
my, is in Manchuria, arrayed along
the Siberian border. Perhaps an
other million men, now in North
China or the Japanese home is
lands, would be available for a
thrust : into Russia's maritime
province. Two generations of Jap
anese military men . have... been
taught that war with Russia is in
evitable, that one day Japan must
wipe ' out the menace of the air
and naval bases around Vladivos
tok, only 700 miles from Tokyo.
This may . be the .time. .
May Look to Burma
But there is another offensive

Flight of Japs
enterprise to which Japan's still
formidable reserves may be
turned. One front on which the
Japanese definitely are not on the
defensive and from which they are
not retreating is Burma. The latest
dispatches from that area tell of
recent forward movement by the
enemy close to India's borders.
The Japanese know that an al
lied effensive in Burma is in the
making; that we are compelled
by the logic of the Asiatic mili
tary situation to make a mighty
effort to slash through the enemy
cordon to restore effective mili
tary communications with China.
They know that China is the key
to the defense of Japan itself, that
once the Americans have air bases
in eastern China it will be Japan's
turn to know the torment that has
been : visited on the Ruhr, Ham
burg, Rome, Naples. ,
China Possible,' Too
So the horns pulled in at Kiska
may become manifest soon on In
dia's eastern border. Or the Jap
anese may try again to deliver
that knockout blow to Chiang Kai
Shek's government an achieve
ment that could prolong the Pac
ific war for years, perhaps even
gain that stalemate which the
Japanese would welcome as a vic
tory. ' These are possibilities but to
this writer they seem little more.
The more tenable explanation of
the retreat from the Aleutians
seems to be the imperative need
for shortening the perimeter of
the vast area Japan has over
run and this far hastried to hold.
While they held Kiska this area
measured 4,000 miles from north
to south, a like distance from east
to west. To man all the ramparts
calls for a tremendous fleet of
shipping. And the Japanese have
no such fleet i
