IN
THE
PHILIPPINES
.
.
.
Now
that
the
Americans
haye
landed
on
the
Philippines,
a
real
matching
of
land
power
in
the
southwestern
Pacific
war
theatre
will
ensue.
The
Japanese,-
of
course,
prefer
to
fight
on
land
and
some
observers
believe
it
will
.take
a
long
time
to
clear
the
enemy
from
the
Philippines
land-mass.
But
General
MacArthur
has
a
special
urge
to
return
to
the
Philippines
and
the
United
States
has
an
obligation
to
free
the
island
as
soon
as
possible.
Landings
there
should
find
except
around
Dayao
a
friendlypopulation,
an
aid
not
to
be
expected
in
Formosa.
American
forces
operating
in
the
far
Pacific
are
at
the
end
of
a
tremendous
supply
line.
The
leap,
even
from
new
bases
in
the
Marianas,
ajl
the
way
to
China,
is
much
longer
than
it
may
look
on
t)ie
map.
It
is
across
the
main
Japanese
supply
line
and
through
an
area
still
saturated
with
enemy
fprpes.
It
would
appear
that
it
is
not
an
easy
job
that
the
Americans
have
in
store
in
the
Philippines
but,
no
doubt,
MacArthur
had
the
preliminary
situation
well
in
hand
before
he
commenced
the
current
invasion.
And
so
far
the
Americans
have
been
making
very
satisfactory
progress
indeed.
A
GREAT
TRAVELLER
...
A
few
weeks
ago
Mr.
Churchill
was
in
Rome
conferring
with
the
Jeaders
of
the
Mediterranean
lands
and
the
Mediterranean
forces.
Soon
after
he
was
in
Quebec
conferring
with
Mr.
Roosevelt
and
Mr.
King.
Then
he
returned
to
London
and
stayed
there
long
enough
to
give
Parliament
and
the
world
a
masterly
review
of
the
military
and
diplomatic
position
of
the
war.
Next
he
was
in
Moscow
conferring
with
Mr.
Stalin
and
other
Soviet
leaders
on
matters
of
prime
importance.
It
is
one
of
the
marvels
of
the
day
that
a
man
of
Mr,
Churchill's
years,
who
has
for
five
years
faced
the
constant
strain
that
has
been
his
lot,
who
has
in
that
time
twice
been
ill
from
pneumonia,
has
been
able
to
maintain
his
vigor
as
he
has
and
been
able
to
undertake
so
much
travel
on
behalf
of
the
war
effort
of
the
Allies.
He
has
been
the
liaison
officer
par
excellence
of
the
United
Nations,
He
has
been
perhaps
the
most
significant
world
traveller
since
Columbus
reached
yatling
Island
and
since
Magellan's
men
circled
the
globe.
His
Russian
trip
was
ope
of
the
most
important
of
his
career.
For
a
real
understanding
between
Russia
and
the
western
Allies
on
such
matters
as
world
security,
the
post-war
treatment
of
Germany
and
the
future
of
the
smaller
nations
is
vital
if
"security"
is
to
be
more
than
a
by-word.
