•staff In it MacArthur said the
troops he commanded in the Phil-
ippine landings suffered "extremely
light looses" and added that the
enemy was caught unawares be-
cause he expected the attack far-

MacArthur's message said the
attack left the Japanese forces on

the air communications. It had
been expected earlier.
