Orient was definitely secondary in as okmmvn‘ military considerations. A iyear ago tho navy was in the midst of a debilitating rollback tn the Pacific; and General MacAr- thur ryastold that hi8 occupation troop strength was frozen. Even than the occupation army had ex- perienced periodic turnovers which had reduced it far below occupa- tion levels. The new trend now seems to have been definitely fixed by Btstc Secretary Acheson‘s declaration to the National Press Club in Wash- ington last week that the United States would defend Japan and the Philippines against attack. Such pledges had been assumed or ob- liquely stated by other officials, but they had not previously been voiced so plainly or officially. The assurance evidently has given new confidence both to; the Filipinos and the Japanese. It also has provided a new official imll- slon for American forces in Asia.

Until now the officially-stated mission of the ground forces in Japan was to run the occupation. The Air Force and Navy were charged with supporting and pro-

tecting the army. Japan and the Phllippl es are some 700 miles apart. ey are
