So, you can hear it running.  Here's our insulated pin here. Oh, the amperage, 1.5. And she just runs and runs. Ew, I didn't like that. Made entirely in with pride. Good to see they're sourcing their products with the best available. See if we can. Oh, let's make it out of aluminum. That way it doesn't stick to the guy's chucks. That's nice. Thanks. This video is brought to you in part by TrueTech Tools, quality tools, essential support. All right, guys, so today we're working on some good old trains that aren't running very well. And this one here wasn't running a minute ago. That's actually putting out some heat, so this might be the only one that actually works right. Yeah, it's getting cold. So we've got two of them that's not working right. This one's running. Just got here, went upstairs, looked up there, kind of a hodgepodgey little bit of a mess. It's all new, unfortunately. Wasn't us. So you can hear it running, which comes with your gauges and your equalize, so you're probably dumping on yourself. Oh, yeah. That sounds like the compressor's twisted off. It just kept on reeeeeeeeeeeing. That's what we're trying to figure out. We got one that had a thermostat that said no power. One section of the building's actually working, which must be this one right here. This one's cooler and warmer like you'd normally figure. Oh, I love the exposed wire here right on the back side where everybody through a drive-through can come through and see the work. You would have figured if you're gonna go to that much trouble to do a nice box up there, you would have just ran it down a little further. Got expensive disconnects, but skimped on the last few feet there. These are 21, they was just built. All right, let's go upstairs here. High security. So we get up here, here we go. And three units, all goes downstairs. Bearable make up area units here. The one that actually is running, that's assuming that they kept them one, two, three. Actually, there's four units there. Look at that, that must be those Mitsubishi's. This must be the one that's actually working. Yeah, it's feeling somewhat cool. The filters are kind of mediocre. They were 10, two-inch filters and they stuck in what was available. For whatever reason, one of them said it was completely dead, which I bet you's this one, it's not running. But, ah, lucky there, that was easy. Got moisture on the bottom of that. That's kind of weird for trying to come out that high. That's a new one. That's how that one is though. Looks like that one's coming down from there, runs into there, down, they all go through the same trap and down they go. This one here is just not even running. Filter on that one's halfway okay. Actually, the filter dryer's in right. Yeah, it's just Burger City. Let's take a look inside here, see what we got. We've got the drain coming down, it's there. You'd think the water'd have to come out through this pan right here. See, see how that pan's down there? Yeah, so I wonder if the way this has been working is if it's been draining out and coming out of there. I would explain why we got water there. I'll just work last year though, that's what I wanna know. So they did all of them wrong. Let's look at the instructions, I never know a train. I didn't forget how gravity worked. So look here, downflow conversion. Go figure, right? It's blown down, it's gonna be at the bottom. Upflow, it'd be right here in that center where they're at now. Look at this, watch this. Now look at it, when we're going right or left, they're going way down here at the very bottom. Horizontal left, horizontal right. They didn't put the drain in right. I mean, hello. That's why you don't let the new kid that has no clue do something as simple as the drains unless you're gonna show him how to freaking do it. Now what's bad is, is the head installer should have double checked it. That's also why you should have the service people that start the equipment. Well, I close more money. Well, it's to catch like this. You know how bad this makes them look like now? So when you can't even hook the drains up right now, I feel like I gotta do a through and double check everything. And with those drains being that low, that's below the pan. How are you gonna do that when the duct works hooked to it? Unflippin' believable, buddy, unbelievable. Let me go through the history and make sure we didn't do this. I can't imagine we did. But they're gonna need some work. They need this fixed. Might as well see if we can get it going. So I had to peel off the foam even after I wiped it off on my leg and stuff. It just wouldn't run. Peel it off, reset it. We're gonna have to set this up here anyway until we figure out what we're doing with this drain. I don't know if we're gonna go ahead and let it run into the overflow pan and let it drain out that way or what.  Same thing with this one here. I don't see how it, it just must got lucky. It's probably why they laid it over here in the corner. It just finally kicked on out of time delay. It's warm on the dryer, cold on the suction. Let's put her together and see if that helps take some of the heat out. So we got one working. This one was working earlier. This was the one that was dead. And I'm pretty sure this one here is the one that was active like it was pumping and dumping on itself. So we got to find out what was going on with it. My feelings is the installation you come back, whack the legs off of it, lower it. Not something I can do very easily by myself this given moment. Lower all three of them down and re-pipe it correctly. All right, let's take a look at this one here with the compressor. See what's going on with it. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Look at that. She is hotter than a $2 pistol. Fancy Nancy. We've got a high pressure switch, low pressure switch. That's about it. Is this single phase? Look here on the side. Is the compressor running backwards? Is it wired wrong? That's what I was wondering. Black and red's going to the contactor. Black and red is common run. Start goes to the capacitor. That thing is hot. Oh my God, it's hot. The orange goes to the capacitor. There it is. See if it's wired right. It's on hermetic. Capacitor's hotter than heck. You've got common going to red, which is the same side opposite of. Good, so we're fine there on that. So there's nothing wrong with that other than maybe the capacitor might be wacky jacky. Made entirely in with pride. Good to see they're sourcing their products with the best available. See if we can. Now let's make it out of aluminum that way. Doesn't stick to the guy's chucks. That's nice. Thanks. I'm a hater. I am a hater of the train.  I'll tell you what, let's go ahead and kill the low voltage so we can rapid cycle this thing. Okay, low voltage is off. Flip on the disconnect box. Grab the amp meter. Let's do some basic common sense. These are insulated pin here. Oh, the amperage, 1.5. And she just runs and runs. I didn't like that. Ooh, now it's stuck. Yeah, she didn't like that very well. This compressor's jacked up. There's your pressures. Pressures are 245. Why is that fan still running? We're pulling power on the fan. How the fan's still running? What G'day. You got the hot wire coming through. One's hooked to there. Oh boy, here goes phone call. All right, so I figured out what's going on here with this fan. It stopped spinning finally. It's kind of windy out here, but watch this, when I plug this back into the compressor, watch the fan pick up speed. So it's pulling off one of the legs of the compressor. So we've got some sort of weirdness going on there. I'm looking at this capacitor. It looks like it's wired right. Anyhow, this compressor's screwed. We're gonna order a new one. It's warranty. Let's go ahead and, for giggles, hold that fan. We'll check the individual different leads. Oh, is she stuck? Yeah, she's stuck. 50, 61 amps. She's stuck now. All right, well, it had a bad day. That thing was twisted off and now it's stuck. Got a hold of someone and the installation company is going to correct the drain lines, so we don't have to worry about that. And like that, we're right back to change the compressor. We've got the new Inficon Vortex Dual.  What else do you got? Because if your product is as good as a leak detector, let's try out some of your other stuff. It's got a strap so you can carry it up the ladder. It's not very heavy. A lot of this seems to be kind of hollow. So the only thing I didn't like about it is it's a little tall, but otherwise it's pretty light. The fan on this thing is freaking huge. I think it's one horse motor. What we got here is 410A. I've got a completely empty jug. So let's see how long it takes to recover this. This thing is supposed to be able to recover 410A faster because of the micro channel they've got in this and bigger motor. You know, you're always fighting, trying to recover in warmer weather. Now granted, today we're only probably about 70 out here. So it's not very warm, but go for the weight scale here. Got Testo, another good supporter of the channel, my 557s here, which I've been really happy with. There is the weight scale. Let's see how long it takes to do it. Zero it out. Hey, we're zeroed there. Okay, start to stop, watch here. We've already bled everything all the way up to here. We are using a 3-8 hose. It's got a built-in flare fitting here so you can actually run it right through the filter dryer right there. So let's go ahead and get started. Just knock 24 seconds off. I did pull the valve core on the liquid line there. Got it open here, open there. I'm gonna go ahead and dump it into the vapor. It don't seem like it makes much of a difference. So there's that. Get her going. We're pulling liquid, see the liquid right there. As soon as that's done, we'll start dumping the other in there. See our weight going in. So I don't know if this thing got twisted off because of the possible not being started correctly or what. Okay, there goes the liquid.  All right, so far, three pounds of refrigerant. Now, like I said, this was an empty tank. Right at about two minutes and a half. 30 seconds of that is sitting there talking. 76 degrees out here. We're pulling it pretty quick. We only got one straighter core pulled. We do have 275 pounds of discharge on it so it's fighting against some pressure. Inficon Vortex Dual. So I mean, there's a few different ones out there that look very similar. I think this is one of the latest ones. Like I said, that's pumping some heat out the front. So we're at 72 degrees there. Let's see what kind of heat this thing's rejecting. So I got a 10 degree riser process. Five pounds, nine ounces is what the factory charge is right there. So 4.3 pounds, I'd say it was factory charged only. And still running about 275 on the head. We are just about completely empty. And we're at five minutes, 45 seconds. Made in 21, made in 22. All right, so we're in a negative. Still running 275 on the head if you're lucky. Tanks really not hot. That's really surprising. Get the old HK Micro out. They make a heck of a nice product. Get a TrueTech Tools guys as usual. Survival for your promo code. Save yourself some money. It's a little hard to see out here. So we're running at a maximum temperature of 97 degrees. Yeah, it really ain't running crazy hot.  And we'll close this purge. Done, valve it off. We're gonna valve this thing off because we don't wanna break that vacuum that we're in, three or four inches. We wanna break that with nitrogen.  That's it, wow. That's a heck of a purge cycle right there. There we go. We're still gonna get better heat on both sides than if you were just doing it with the wand. One particular head. And look how fast that thing gets in there. There we go. And I've said before, he ain't supposed to do it like that. He's supposed to cut it out. I don't do that. Only if I absolutely have to. That suction line, it looks like that might be a little pain in the butt.  Got a ol' factory. Gave me no room to pull that out. Little bit of a bend on it.  You can't get in there to do that. Could've loosened it possibly here on the bottom. But the way they hodgepodge that in there is kind of shitty too. Let's see if we can get this thing picked up now. The way I already got the model number and stuff on the compressor. The rubber feet fit in so easy they fall out just as easy. Really thought out, bud. Another high school engineer. Well it looked like I could fit that in there when we do it at the factory and we put this panel on last if you want to take that all apart. You ain't take all that there off. Which is pretty much what we're gonna have to do. There you go kids, that's how you do it. Guess what? Screwed up, should've taken that apart. That's an old trick. How about just taking that off? I could've done this without screwing up. Up a little bit. Or the factory could just build a better unit and not have to do it at all. If you're gonna copy the scroll design it's supposed to make it better. Here we go. It's in the hole. There you go. Howdy-doodie-doodie. I don't fool with the nitrogen much on this. I'd have to push it through the suction side and back out that little bit. I don't, I don't get wound up on that. I used to try that and you know honestly it's been more time sometimes fighting it because you blow your alloy out and then you have to get on it again which means more heat. More heat you get on that copper, more of the copper breaks down. Still didn't get the heat pressure switch too hot. It's benefited getting on it off fairly quickly. My hose is not gonna fight them now. Got it all. Looks to me like she pulled in nice and deep. Let's go ahead and put the Schrader core back in there on the liquid line. Hardly, I kind of not been using my dual hoses that often. Just really don't need to. Just to make it easy. See the new batteries there? They got a little green indicator to tell you that's good or not. And it has USB plug on it. Even got my Navac bucket here along with my viper wet rag brazen pad which is pretty wicked.  We'll pop up there real fast and get that swapped out. I kind of forgot we need to do that dryer. So let's go ahead and purge some nitrogen through this thing. Oh my goodness. Look at that, glowing oil all over the place which I really didn't want. So it is a burnout. I guess we're not using that fridge or an over.  Got everything cleaned up there. We're gonna go ahead and see if we can blow anything residual into the rag here. All right, after some deliberation thinking about it, I believe they didn't use nitrogen.  And so that's any more contaminated than what everybody out there that doesn't believe you need to use nitrogen is doing to every system out there which they kind of don't make a bit of difference. Well, I guess while there you go, you can see it firsthand. We got the nitrogen flowing. Let's go upstairs and get that filter dryer put on. Guess we'll pull it away as best we can. See if we can get in here without melting. I think I'm gonna go to the inside piece.  Okay, like that. You can see the nitrogen's flowing. Got a crappy connection right up here. So we're gonna go ahead and chop that out. We'll put the dryer up here. Still coming through, which means it's actually able to make it through the filter dryer. So let's go ahead and put a pressure test on real fast, see where we're at. Spray the joints, make sure everything's good. Nice solid stream there. Make sure ain't nothing leaking on the pressure switches since we just got those heated up in that area. Spray these other joints down. Not seeing anything on those. Don't see anything on that. We'll give it a moment, but still, if the nitrogen's coming through and it's not leaking there, then we got it. I'm gonna make the best of a bad situation here. Use some of these little whatever boxes they got here. Put one in the pan that keeps the water flow switch up high enough that any spillage isn't gonna just trigger it. It's got a drain in there anyway. Found a metal one for there. And then this one here, same thing. This has been kind of bent and whatever else. That's got metal on the bottom, so that might actually trigger it. Yeah, it'll trigger it. So you can't have that. So we gotta have this on the bottom.  What else are you supposed to do? Not happy with it. Yeah, it'll pull it in place, and then put it down there where it's a little bit lower. This is a positive coil so we don't have the traps in there anymore, which is nice. Kind of trap here four, which goes to Mitsubishi. Almost makes me worried that it's a double trap possibly, which may not drain, which makes me want to take this out. So let's leave that out and see if that helps. Maybe that's why there's water in there. It probably didn't drain right. It probably went down to the trap and then backed up or something. I'll bet you that's what happened. Hey, we're still down here at 177.8 and didn't hit the start button, so whatever. It didn't drop much if at all. You're always gonna have some equalization in there. There she goes. Ring, ring, ring. She's dropping fast too. Look at her. Drop, drop, drop. Now we're not changing the capacitor or the contactor because we've checked those. They're fine in reality. They're freaking brand new. So we're gonna go ahead and get the gauges and stuff set up for one of the other units over here. I'll also just check these out while we're evacuating, which I have a feeling they weren't charged properly. And it barely give you enough room to even get your gauges on there.  Looking at this, we have no 250 pounds ahead, 42 degrees suction, because the TXV is doing its job. There is no sub-cooling at all on this thing. 10 degrees. Okay, they want 10 degrees and we've got two. So we've got some issues there. Let's get this thing charged up. Hopefully before it shuts off. All right, so starting from this one right here, we've got the old gauges on there. We've got 2.7 on our sub-cooling, 250 head. So we're at 2.4 on that one on our sub-cooling. Theoretically, it's three-eighths line, so 0.6 ounces for every foot. It's probably charged for 10 to 15 foot. I bet there's probably about 40 feet there. Let's do 30 feet times 0.6 ounces. Pound in two ounces, one pound, two ounces. Guess we'll grab the old scale here so we can speed this up. Guess we got a 410A up there. Let's go ahead and add about a pound to this one, see where that puts us at. This thing here, 750, we can close our gas ballast. It should be all pretty close to about the same thing. Now let's do a valve off. This is mainly gonna be refrigerant. It's not jetting back up right away, so we'll go ahead and let it run some more, except battery usually is only good for one vacuum, and that's about it. I'm gonna head and dump a pound, 0.13 ounces on this one. So we're at seven degrees on that one, so we're getting all going close on that. Well, something for you newbies that are just grasping sub-cooling super heat. As you're adding refrigerant, you're looking at the line temperature, so you're empty. It's gonna start to get warm, and it's gonna get warmer. Eventually it's gonna start to come back down to temperature. You wanna be on the bottom side of that curve. If you ever watch the curve on your charts, if they even have paper charts anymore, when you're adding and that liquid line temperature starts to drop, you know you're on the correct side. So if you're doing it the old fashioned way, the temperature minus your saturated temperature, then you know that you're going the right direction. So sometimes I'll pop back and forth when I'm sitting here watching it, even though I've got it calculated out. Like say it's 9.2, 9.3. I watch my liquid temperature as I add to see that it is coming back down, which is something that it is doing. We're running 261 and 121. This one here, 262 and 122. And we're running 8.3. All right, we're at 485. Finally, go ahead and give it the wiggle jiggle and see how well it holds.  If it comes up even to 700 area or whatever, I'm gonna be all right with it just because refrigerants are the only issue we've got now. These are all tuned in. I had 11 and a half on this one, 10 on the other. Probably gonna need about two and two pounds, two and a half pounds extra. Let's take it where we need it at. So far 486, holding in there. All right, so we've got this one getting in there. It's got a little warmer. So the head pressures came up like 283. It's only 92 degrees on the condensing temperature at 7.9. Just got a nickel and dime this last bit in there and we should be good to go. Everything seems to be working fine. The inside room's got all cool. It's probably gonna wrap this one up, guys. If you enjoyed the video and see more like it, smack it later.


This is the story of the Pacific and its people of the peaceful sea and the lands and lives it touches and They're meaning to us and to the generations to come The Pacific story presented by the National Broadcasting Company as a public service and Dedicated to a fuller understanding of the vast Pacific Basin This broadcast series comes to you as another feature of the NBC Inter-American University of the Air with drama of the past and present and commentary by Owen Latimore authority on the Pacific and director of the School of International Relations Johns Hopkins University The islands of the Pacific Stands astride the islands of the Southwest Pacific Here the United Nations are battering against the outer defenses of our island Empire Here the Japanese have converted the larger islands into formidable fortresses and the smaller islands into fortified outposts The islands which had so long been isolated have become a part of the global war and give promise of playing an increasingly Important role in the Pacific era to come So many islands of the Pacific that their exact number is unknown Guesses have been made that there are 30,000 First human inhabitants of the mid Pacific Islands were the Polynesians the most daring deep-sea voyages and explorers the world has ever known The time has come oh hi one This is a Polynesian weatherman the gentle winds are blowing up from the southeast There's strong winds from the southeast oh hi one are the hurricanes past Yes, the hurricanes are safely passed So also are the variable winds of the summer and now that autumn is the favorable winds from the southeast have come We have waited long for them the time has come to sail Ship is ready. Oh hi one and well provision. We must have ample provisions captain food enough for 60 Enough for the voyage to the island over the horizon is already stored aboard You have food for the children and the women as well as for the men as much as our great ship can carry Oh hi one we must prepare for any fortune The dried and cooked food prepared these many months while the ship was building have been wrapped in bundles and Stored there is cooked breadfruit and sweet potatoes dried fish and shellfish Green coconuts for both food and drink Calabashes and bamboo joints filled with water that is good and to start the new island over the horizon We have chickens and pigs and dogs and these we can eat if our food runs out before we sight land Then we will fail at dawn pass the word and see that the ship is ready and nothing is forgotten Throughout the night the Polynesians prepared for their migration to the islands over the horizon The captain as the overseer gave the ship a final inspection The ship was a great double canoe more than 100 feet long joined by platforms and with deck houses built on top Towering up from the canoes were massed with sails of plated pandanus fiber and both canoes were equipped with paddles balers and stone anchors At dawn without compass or charts the Polynesians sailed into the open ocean The clouds are descending upon us oh hi one then we shall not have the stars to guide us tonight Not tonight. It will be black. How long will these clouds lie upon us? We shall not see the stars to them tomorrow night But perhaps we shall see them tonight after captain can we hold our course without the stars? We know the steady roll of the waves before the winds oh hi one by them We shall be guided and when the clouds have cleared the stars will again colors our way In two days the clouds had lifted and cleaning down in the Polynesian immigrants and the great expanse of the Pacific Where the stars they knew so well they sail through the nights and days Pull in this fish. Oh, it must be a big one. He is struggling Here it comes into the boat What's a fast one what a big one we must be thankful We may have used for it Help me here and pull this water into this caliber. Ah, this is a gift. We must lose none of it The days flipped away and the experienced Polynesians sailed directly on their course Each thing they saw had meaning to them there there. There is a piece of grip would get it Yes, sir stand clear while I throw this line The driftwood told them they were nearing land every eye scanned the sky and the sea that bird See it see that bird. Yes. Yes. It is a prover. We have seen birds of that kind before we cannot be far from land Day and night they sailed at night. They studied the stars which they have long since come to know They knew the various constellations and their positions in the sky at different seasons They knew the winds and the sea itself Captain over there on the horizon you you see that What is it that that color on the clouds that that faint color see it Clouds are strangely different. Yes. It is Green in color pale pale green a reflection. Yes a reflection captain I see it. I see it there far far away on our eyes. Yes. I see it now That is land land hidden over the horizon You see land. Yes, they're oh, I wonder she's the green reflection on those low-lying clouds. Yes Yes, I see land From Ireland to Ireland the Polynesian spread establishing their own society and culture to the north They spread to Hawaii in the east to Easter Island in the west to New Zealand here the white man found them Many of the islands were found my Magellan the first white man to cross the Pacific Scores war were found by captain cook at the time of the American Revolution American whalers put in for water and supplies. It's still others The Western nations came Portugal Spain the Netherlands France Germany the United States Britain and the islands of the Pacific were brought into the orbit of world politics World conflict At the time the United States was fighting its civil war over the issue of slavery The same issue was taking form in the islands of the Pacific here is where we will establish our cotton plantation This is captain the honorable Robert Towns a merchant of Sydney, Australia We will call this plantation townsville. This will be an excellent location, sir here near Brisbane But I deal for growing cotton. I was not thinking of that sir That's all that need concern us as foreman I must think of securing labor should be ample labor available immigrants The white man cannot stand to work here in tropical Australia captain towns not plantation work at any rate news islanders There are not enough of them here. Oh, then we must get them There are plenty of islanders available in the ships were fitted out to make calls on the islands and to bring back workers for the Plantations of Australia and the Fiji Island They dropped anchor off the islands and waited for the islanders to come out in boats Look at them coming out in boats captain. There's a good lot of them. Mr. Grison Look at all those standing there on the beach watching us. We must give no sign that'll make them suspicious I've warned every last man of the crew everything's ready. The hatches are open all of them Sir and the tinder biscuits are down in the holes and playing view might no false moves and be a no hurry You understand mr. Grison. I do sir. I'll have a man here each edge I'll give you a signal and then be answered about that. It's all right, sir With any sort of luck we should be That's one of the islanders in that closest boat. What did he say sir? I couldn't make it out. He said something about shipy He said where's shipy come? I'll answer him They understand they don't watch a mean I they're coming up alongside in their boat. Good man Fall in that first boat. They're coming up over the side There's the first one coming aboard. You're warned the men to make them welcome. All right, sir. Good. Oh There's six eight nine boats coming alongside watch yourself. We want as many as we can get They're coming up on deck one after another All right Good man are instructed to make them feel at home Oh, they've spotted the open tinder biscuits down in the hole. Hi, sir. What day after? Are you going to get them singing in this time may not be necessary this time They've taken our word for it with a missionary ship. They keep right. I'm coming All right, and they'll follow the others right down through the edges to the biscuits like a line of air I guess that's about all of them sir. Just a few stragglers. Hey Those last two over there. They're stalling. He looks suspicious. Yeah They're not going down through the edge. They'll warn the others if they see anything Look at that Will we wait? No Betting on the edges Button down the edges Look out there. I'll fill that one with this for my insist Now you're below there look down there man. They're trying to get over the side Mr. Grayson, our bank can and get on the way at once. All right, sir Thanks for the question to our bank, sir. Give me every inch of canvas here Up she's heading into the winter It's the islanders below deck, sir. Do you know what to do, mr. Grayson? That I do service. I could kill some of them.  All right. He's him over the side He's island some sir, but I'm afraid we've killed some of them shooting into the mess or something like that Wait 10 minutes then open the edges drag out the dead ones and throw motherboard We've no time to waste. We've got to get back to australia black birding The practice of kidnapping islanders and taking them to work on plantations continued for years The slave traffic brought replies from the islanders who clubbed white men to death ate them and sent pieces to all the many villages Murders and atrocities multiplied until the traffic was at last brought to a halt Through this practice the islanders came to know the white man The white man had his day in the island of the south pacific until 1914 world war one Then the shadow of japan fell across them In the high councils of the allies the next japanese step came to life Of course, japan came into the war against germany through her treaty with britain. That is true That was it not understood that japan would limit itself to uh, well That's a naval action. That was the understanding was it not? Yes Chasing german submarines in the pacific and the purpose of that was to uh Is split the areas of japanese state? But now japan has seized the carillon islands the marianas and the marshals Japan has assured britain that it has no territorial ambition Then why has japan approached muskau for assurances that russia will support the claims for these islands at the peace table So japan has asked britain for the same assurance and france and legally it can only mean that japan means to keep those islands Japan has approached each of the allied nations It is as if she was demanding these assurances as the price of remaining in the war against germany That is precisely what she is demanding while we are busy in europe gentlemen This problem must be resolved at the peace table. We are engaged on the continent and at this same time At the close of world war one the league of nations gave japan only a mandate over the island Instead of out and out annexation Japan was in honor bound not to fortify them but years later Hello, hello, hello. Yeah, uh, did you get the name of my favorite? Come on. Come on. Don't spend that phone all day I don't want to keep your shirt on. Well, yeah, I just no no no. I was talking to this guy behind me Yeah, now look here's the cable. Look bud. This is the only phone available here separate I love a mic. Will you keep quiet? No. No. No. Now listen. Now here's the cable never mind about saving words Um Matsuoka has torpedoed the league of nations Matsuoka just walked out with the entire japanese delegation Everybody is stunned the japanese made it clear that even though they are holding those south pacific islands under a league of nations mandate If the league should try to withdraw the mandate that japan will hold the islands by force get that Yeah, yeah and send that cable out fast. You can't don't serve a horse throughout the world Political observers were alive to the meaning of this japanese coup You know what it amounts to japan's defying the league of nations. She defying the world The league took the hint and didn't even discuss the possibility of withdraw What could it do? Well, it did this much It didn't commit itself to the idea that it could not withdraw the mandate That just means that the question is still wide open and that it will crop up later The only way anybody's ever going to get those islands away from japan is to take them away Why do you say that? What do you think japan has been doing in those islands all these years since world war one? He doesn't permit anybody to go there while the seeds of world war two were ripening The islands of micronesia were being transformed into as much a part of the japanese empire as yokahama or kiyoto For years even while japan was ostensibly at peace with the world Travelers who tried to secure visa. I'd like to get a visa To visit the caravan island. Oh So sorry No visa for the caravan islands are available. Well, I'm a i'm a sort of a world traveler Globetrotter man like to get out understand But it is impossible So sorry Japan closed the door of these islands to the world But some information about them did leak out Chook is perhaps the biggest naval base in the pacific outside of pearl harbor It's in the caroline islands, and it's a natural naval base. It forever was one It is surrounded by high rocky islands, and it has a lagoon 40 miles wide Here at chook the japanese have built naval installations And that is the largest of the islands. It is 410 miles east of truck It has a protected anchorage below a cliff 900 feet high In this anchorage american whalers used to put in for water from the streams and the valleys And around this anchorage on the north side of the island the japanese have built their naval installation Japan has fortified an entire line of islands The japanese call this line their lifeline to the south By this they mean the defense of asia and behind this line and the islands to the north The japanese plan to build their empire into the greatest power on earth Japan had so well entrenched herself behind this her great wall That in september 1941 less than three months before pearl harbor We are actually only in soft defense This is japanese rear admiral sosa You americans are strengthening your strategic positions in the pacific to blockade japan's seaporn trade And eventually to throttle japan. What positions do you refer to admiral sosa hawaii such abba Guam and the abba But it will make no difference. You don't think the united state is going to attack japan japan Is now defended solidly along 4 000 nautical miles by various strategic systems Which would be extremely costly to break through then japan has fortified the islands of micronesia You have advanced spaces in pearl harbor manila on singapore true But in case of an emergency all of your advanced spaces would be deprived of their value before Reinforcements could be sent if in spite of this reinforcement should be sent by land or sea So japanese army or navy would only have to lie in wait to destroy them as they come Yes, but admiral sosa all this is on the assumption that japan and america must go to war No matter what route the american navy may choose the strategic position of japan and our work of defense Scattered all over the seas of east ager Enable our empire to defend or attack in any direction The islands of the pacific the untold thousands of islands so long isolated from the world have become a part of the global war The thousands of islands have become forces of steel And promised to be stepping stones to the greater era in the pacific that lies ahead The importance of these numberless islands to the war effort is daily becoming more apparent And here to discuss their significance to us Is oan latimore authority on the pacific and director of the school of international relations john's hopkins university mr. latimore Up to now we have been talking in the pacific story About the lands around the pacific the great countries with many millions of people Today we are concerned with the islands far out in the pacific itself Not the big islands and island groups like the philippines and netherland india and hawaii But the thousands of little and tiny islands that have scattered across the widest waters of the vast pacific These islands have never been very real to americans Few people now remember what robert louis stevensson wrote about the south sea islands A generation ago jack london used them as the setting for some of his most romantic tales of adventure About explorers and plantation owners and mutinous plantation laborers Captured from savage head hunting tribes martin and oza johnson before they became famous for their films about big game hunting in africa Made some of their early travel travelers down in the islands But all that seems very far away and unreal and different from the pacific islands in which young americans From your hometown and mine are fighting and dying Not for adventure and romance, but as part of the most terrible war in history Which is reaching into every home in america What are american soldiers and sailors and marines finding down there? Besides war and japs and malaria and dysentery What are the little pacific islands like and the peoples of the Pacific of the islands? These islands have been part of the great gamble of empire building and power politics ever since the 18th century When america consisted of 13 colonies along the atlantic coast But they were never the blue chips that were pushed out on the table when the big bets were laid They were just not big enough in terms of land or people or resources In most of them there were not enough people to provide labor on a large scale In many of them the people fought savagely to escape being forced to labor on tantations Consequently the islands have largely been left to the enterprise of individuals from the civilized countries Without much planned development by the governments of the great powers An island or an island group for which one country would hesitate to fight another Could often provide good money-making opportunities for individuals or corporations It only needed a handful of managers and overseers In charge of unskilled native labor to produce thousands of tons of coconut oil from plantations on hundreds of little islands That nobody ever heard of We are proud of our superior civilization But on the whole the record of our civilization in the pacific island Is something to make us pause and consider our responsibilities as well as our achievements The white man's burden was once a romantic phrase, but there is an ugly side to it The white man has often himself been a burden on the shoulders of the people he has conquered and exploited In large measure this was due to the heedless and lusty way in which men made use of new instruments of power Like cannon and steam driven vessels When new lands and islands were discovered and new peoples who had no power to resist The discoverers thought first of how much they could grab and get away with How they could get rich quick It reminds you of the ancient gag about the pilgrim fathers landing and discovering the indians in north america They first fell on their knees and then on the aborigines Even religious and god-fearing men had standards for the behavior of civilized men toward other civilized men But much lower standards for behavior toward uncivilized men It was a long time before we began to have what you might call a collective conscience about the consequences of our actions And the responsibilities of civilized men collectively toward uncivilized societies collectively For a long time the peoples of the south seas were fair game for anyone who had the power to seize and to hold No one had and no one in those days could expect could be expected to have a sense of social responsibility Take for example the diseases which the white men brought to the pacific Many people still act as though good health or disease Were nothing more than the good luck or bad luck of the individual The social idea of health control is quite recent A lot of diseases that we think quite unimportant like measles or the common cold Have been deadly scourges in the pacific islands because they never existed before the white man came and the people had no resistance Take just one example According to the smithsonian institution as late as 1875 an epidemic of measles Killed 40,000 people in fiji 40 percent of the population We are now on the threshold of a new time No one can soberly doubt that jangkai shek of china Spoke for the conscience of the world when he said that after the war the world must have a single standard of freedom Some people are still not civilized enough to have full freedom But that only puts the challenge up to us We cannot legalize a permanent double standard of freedom and servitude The problem is to raise the standard of those who are not free Until they can understate take the responsibilities of freedom America accomplished this in the philippines More recently the russians have accomplished it in the arctic and in central asia Where in one generation primitive and semi primitive peoples have been made literate civilized modern That is our real problem for the future Islands in the wide pacific can be important as bases for air routes But in the long run they are even more important as a test of whether man can make the world fit for mankind To give a pint of milk a day to every hot and taut would be no solution for anybody's problem The solution is to enable the hot and taut and the folloman islander To reach a standard of his own and for himself that includes health education progress and eventually freedom Thank you.
