ACROSS the world, something hifmr than snvthine we've known yet in the Pacific, is huildinu uo in the Ryukyus. A British naval task force has joined us there, adding its weight of battleships, cruisers, aircraft carriers and necessary auxiliary craft to the mighty fleet we already had assembled. The Jap radio tells today of a fleet "of more than 100 warships with about ten battleships as its mainstay" cruising around Oki nawa and screening ANOTHER task force that includes "more than ten" big aircraft carriers. A force of such magnitude HAS AN OBJECT. Its object In this case is undoubtedly the Ryukyus. rIE Ryukyus screen the East China sea. The East China sea is the entrance to all of in terior China, by way of the val leys of China's great rivers and their related rail and highway routes. It is by these entrances that the Japanese must get their forces into interior China and MAINTAIN THEM THERE. With the East China sea closed to them, they would be in a rather bad way. So look for them to defend the Ryukyus as they defended Iwo Jima with this difference: They will have bigger force to start with than they had on Iwo. U. S.
