: September 22 That Gen
eral's Strategy Junked "
. San' Francisco, Oct. 6 U.B
The Sydney. Daily Telegraph
asserted in a prominent front
paga dispatch last month that
Gen. Douglas MacArthur's
strategy tor conduct of the
Pacific war had been "scrapped"
and that . MacArthur's command
would become of secondary im
portance, It was revealed today.
A copy of the story, written
by Telegraph Correspondent
Hugh Dash and passed by cen
sors at South Pacific headquar
ters, was received here today,
Dated Sent, 22
The dispatch was dated Sept.
22, the day after MacArthur an
nounced with what seemed no
provocation that "however sub
ordinate my role, I hope to play
It manfully."
"General Douglas MacArthur's
grand strategic plan for the con
duct of the Pacific- war has
been scrapped by London and
Washington war leaders," the
article began.
"There is authoritative back
ing also for reports that his
command In the Pacific is to be
pruned to a role of secondary
importance."
The Daily Telegraph said
Australia was to be bypassed as
a springboard for a major of
fensive against Japan and that
MacArthur would be subordin
ated to Lord Louis Mountbatten,
new commander in chief in
southwest Asia.
Opposed Hopping
"Part of this new strategy
adopted apparently Involves
costly island hopping which
MacArthur has always bitterly
opposed," the Daily Telegraph
aid.
The newspaper said the de
cisions were made at the Quebec
conference between President
Roosevelt 'and Prime Minister
Churchill and that "MacArthur
was nojt invited to the confer
ence.? -
"Nor were his views sought,"
the newspaper continued, Val
though he leads the major act
ive allied forces in the Pacific."
'-, The purported new strategy
.presumably calls for a drive
through Burma from India in
addition to "island hopping," It
was indicated, and MacArthur

The Allies were on Italian soil when this happened but the toe-hold was anything but secure. This mer
chant ship was blown wide open by a Nazi bomb as British and American troops effected landings at Salerno
i under barrages from enemy shore batteries and planes. Photo from newsreel pool
has "conceded that alternative
strategies would ultimately de
feat Japan."
"But hli concept," the Daily
Telegraph said, "would sub
stantially shorten the war and
peg the allied death roll to a
minimum."
