He noted some fleets moved to the Atlantic but American forces remain strong enough to defend supply routes for rubber and tin and to keep the western hemisphere safe. Maas argued Hawaii’s defenses deter invasion, said Japan delayed Indo China, and cited Tokyo broadcasts as public proof of fleet splits.
