SHATTERING BLOWS
AMERICAN NAVY’S AIM (Received Sept. 24, 11.30 a.m.) NEW YORK, Sept. 23 “The recent attacks against the Marcus and Gilbert Islands are only the shape of things to come,” said Admiral King, addressing the American Legion Convention. He added that the Navy’s aim was shattering blows against the enemy with all the weapons that can be brought to bear, synchronised and co-ordinated with an overwhelming assault.
He emphasised the importance of the Navy’s swiftly-growing air arm, which is now striking hard against enemy bases, particularly in the Pacific.
