That is the real secret of how he runs his war much as he wishes, halfway around the world from Washington. MacArthur evolves a plan of attack, say the great amphibious landing on Leyte. He needs navy support, air support, and most of Joint chiefs of staff in Washington.

As the plan takes shape in Gen, MacArthur's mind he visualizes it half in terms of its effect on the Japanese, half in terms of how to explain its advantages to the other services and the chiefs back home.

But that business, and the money Tennessee valley cities and farmers’ co-operatives have in-
