KN0&JpAN8WER8 QUESTIONS The United States Navy "is not Idle and you will hear from It again and again when and where careful strategic* considerations dictate." That la the reassuring word given the American people by Secretary Knox, as if In answer to the questions often heard. Where', Is our navy?" and "what's our navy doing?" Secretary Knox wishes us to. remember that the No. 1 battlefield In this war, at least at present, so far as this nation Is conoern^d, Is In the Atlantic and not in the Pacific and that "Hitler's Germany" and not Japun is our Enemy* No. 1. The Navy Secretary would not have any one infer that our fleet Is idle. He reminds us that in addition to keeping open the sea lanes between this country and England?which it is and has been doing with marked and gartifying success despite the most energetic efforts of Hitler's naval and air forces?the United States navy has thousands of miles of coast line and many strategic bases to protect, and one of the most important jobs is the protection of the Panama Canal He also reminds ns of "the elements of distance, of time", as well as "the necessarily wide distribution of our naval forces", all of which, he told the conference of mayors In his address Monday, "preclude what I know you all wish me to suggest; early conclusive showdowns with the Japanese navy". "I would not be frank with you if I led you to believe that you could expect favorable, dramatic developments of triumphant American, fullscale naval engagements In the Pacific in the near future", Mr. Knox said significantly. This Nation would be following the strategy which Adolf Hitler hoped we would follow, when he plunged Japan into the .war, if the United States navy at this time sholild concentrate its power and its activity in the far Pacific, so Mr. Knox would have us remember. In bringing Japan into the war at this tirfle, the Secretary said, Hitler sought to divert the attention of America and Britain from the Atlantic. Secretary Knox would have us keep that fact in mind and remember all the whjle that "we know who "bur great enemy is. The enemy who, before all others, must be defeated first. It is not Japan. It is not Italy. It is Hitler and Hitler's Nazis. Hitler's Germany It is Hitler we must destroy'. "That <lon-\ the whole Axis fabric will collapsiho assures. Just wIih' iIia navy is doing and has Ifeen doiitc the American public cannot know now. That must ho left to thost* in command, those responslb'e for its record and its achievements. In war neither tho private citizen . nor the private in the fighting ranks can he told Just what strategy is in the mind and plana of the high command. The full record of the navy "in the Battle of the Atlantic cannot be told", Mr. Knox reminded us, because, "to do so would be to give Hitler del ills of our successful operations he would glady lose another Bismarck to know". And the aame might have beon said of the navy's movements and operations elsewhere t?an tho Battle of the Atlantic. And thus the Secretary has given the beat and most explicit answer he could afford to give to the question, "whore is our navy and what is it doingf"?Charlotte Observer. | '!
