I ‘ . l War Situation Last Night i ______i__ ,_ _,___.___ __

By KIRKE L. SIMPSON (Associated Prelu War Analyst)

If Japan‘! Iain fighting fleet or any substantial part of lt hue at Iut been brought to action, as Tokyo broadcasts say. a major objective of American operations in the Central Pacific has been attain .

American reports so fur speak only of Japanese aerial assaults ou carrier forces.

Tokyo claims of 50 or more American warships o! all types sunk sound fantastic. They follow what has become an almost ritualistic Japanese propaganda practice in previous |ea.air encounters in the Pacific, all of which ultimately turned out to be Amerlchn victor-leg.

It would take American confinnatlon to convince observers that the Japanese high command is ready to risk its jealously boarded fleet at this stage of the battle of the Pacific. however. There has been every reason to credit the United States 3rd fleet with such combined

fiort of the full weight of enemy naval strength could hope to cope th it.

A full Japanese fleet concentration there would leave the Central and Southern Philippines exposed to the Invasion thrusts Gen. Mac- Arthur so obviously has poised for action. It also would leave the ap- preaches to the South China Sea dangerously vulnerable from the welt. There is no question that Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten is prepar. ing in the Bay of Bengal theatre for action cmordinated with the American advance in the central and southwestern Pacific.

Tokyo reports of the fight discount the probability that the Bill. tnlned crossfire attack on Formosa is n prelude to attempted American invasion of that island. They assume with good reason that the 3rd fleet’: bold strikes have to do with impending invasion moves against the Philippines. If they have succeeded in drawing into action such portion of Japanese naval power as has been based at hlde.outs iu the northern part of the South China Sea, unquestionably the primary American purpose short of the hope of bringing the main euemv fleet to decisive battle has been served. ‘ '
