Capt. I* A. Du Bus, former sei

lie did again at Leyte,.' !
Never before, however, has he
or any other commander indicat-
ed openly . such complete
knowledge of the enemy's defen-
ses. It was pointed out that
MacArthur'S act in no sense pre-
sented .further danger for the
guerrillas, since the Japanese al-
ready have hud two and a half
years to find them out and ad- „
mittedly have had little success.
Meanwhile,_ experts here be-
lieved Mae Arthur's ? predictions
that the Philippines campaign
will cut Japan's stolen empire in
two will be fulfilled when Ameri- .
can forces establish air domina-

This, . is was pointed out,- can be
accomplished without full occu-
pation of the islands. .; -
Once, the aerial supremacy is
established, enbmy shipping mov-
ing between Japan arid Southeast
TVsia and the East Indies could
do so only at great hazard. An
aerial blockade based in the

not necessarily be complete be-
