navy lent to the canadian navy in the same way that rcjf offi cers are often loaned to the rn in peacetime its one of the purpler plums of the service but hardly had captain brand settled down in his ottawa office in july 1939 when war broke out and it became a number one hornets nest september 1015 saw brand a sub lieutenant at 10 aboard a battleship in he home fleet patrolling the north sea

ttoyal canadianjklr force last winter japan was moving her naval and air forces to bases in indo china and nearby hainan island pushing her influence in thailand and preparing it seemed for an im mediate blow at british and dutch possessions in southeast asia so critical did the situation seem that brituh and australian reinforcements were rushed to singapore and ameri can troops and planes to the philip pines but japan did not seize her opportunity to strike and even with drew her naval and other forces from southern indoohina during the past several months there have been onl verbal threats from tokyo combined w ith occasional hints that japan might consider coming to terms with the united states this hesitation forms one of the many enigmas of the present situation one important reason may be that the strengthening of british dutch and american forces in the far east has made an easy victory impossible yet the combined naval strength of these three powers in far eastern waters ls no match for the japanese navy the main american fleet is course stationed at hawaii but the japanese might reasonably assume that it would not be risked farthei east while the battle of the atlantic is in so crucial a state there have been recent unconfirmed reports that certain units of the united states fleet were being shifted from hawaii to the atlantic where the small at lantic fleet is being faced with greatly expanded duties of patrol certain authorities are offering an other explanation they point to the far east because of british dutch- american air superiority the brit ish realizing that they cannot spare important units of the fleet for far eastern duties have significantly bro ken precedents by placing an air chief marshall sir robert brooke popham tn charge of the defence of the far east the dutch have boldly expand ed their plans of defence originally thej felt they could defend only the important islands of java and suma tra in the east indies but now they will defend even the remotest islands in the group american bombers have been ftsng to the philippines to ma lava and to the dutch indies pan american airwajs has recently es tablished passenger son ice trom the united states to singapore the num ber of planes now available to the three powers his been placed at 2000 most of which would be modern an important advantage also is the fact that if japan moved against singn pore or the dutch islands her naval expedition would be operating in ter rltorv surrounded bv enemy air bases wha of japanese air strength the japanese air force has had almost no experience arainst modern de fences her successes in china having been achieved against undefended places and no aerial resistance jap ans current output of military air planes of all types including training planes has been estimated at 250 per month an amount not equal to the production of canada and australia as late as 1939 the japanese were us ing italian airplanes of a type proved absolcte in the mediterranean no doubt german collaboration since has meant a considerable improvement in planes and training of aviators but japanese industry is incapable of maintaining an aircraft production which could begin to compare with that of the united states or the bri tish empire in 1940 her supply of new machine tools amounted to less than one tenth the present american annual supply and she is now cut off from american supply of these essentials to modern aircraft produc tion japanese inability to secure aviation gasoline from the dutch in dies or in large quantities from the united states should hamper her aerial activity recently a japanese naval spokesman asserted that the japanese navy had 4 000 warplanes but if the country s annual output is 3 000 one might assume that a large part of this force ls obsolete it would be unwise to assume that increased aerial strength at singapore and elsewhere had caused japan to forego all her dreams of a new or der in east asia while her large navy still remains untried in strength she may simply be holding off in hope of favojrable developments in europe or she may be preparing for the new threat by rearming her ships against air attack nevertheless the possibili ty of building up joint british and american air strength in the fa east to such a point that the threat of the japanese navy might be some what nullified
