this is going to be the southern pacific not the central pacific. what it does is take the weakness of the transcontinentals and turn them into his strength. the weaknesses is the transcontinentals cannot compete. this is the thing that people don't understand about these railroads. they cannot compete with sea traffic the cheapest way to get goods from california back to the east to europe or to australia, australia, of course is going to be by c. it's two routes you can do it. which one is the most important and specific male steamship company you put them on these ships. you take them to panama. there's going to be a railroad across panama. you'll unload it onto other ships and you get it into the gulfports or the east coast ports. there is no way in the world that the railroads can compete with this for carrying freight and freight is what they are. all these railroads are freight railroads. they're not passenger roads, and he says, it's outrageous. this is jay gould who's a partner in trying to compete with the the steamship companies. he says

the southern pacific railroad. the southern pacific railroad loans the insiders money, gets this collateral in return and guess what, the associates don't pay their loans. the railroad gets to keep the worthless stock and bonds. the associates get to keep the money. that's how you funnel money out of one corporation into another corporation and you keep the southern pacific in a much weaker state than it otherwise would have been. now, the problem with being a crook is other crooks. in the early 1870s, huntington had heard from his associates that john miller, the secretary of the contract and finance company was, quote, a great man and an honest one. but he grew suspicious. huntington was suspicious of everyone. since he stole, he suspected everyone was stealing from him. before closing down the contract and finance company and forming a new company, huntington sent someone to examine the books. the associates knew what they did not want congress to find in those books. they were surprised what was found. it took

also to the southwest pacific and bypassing a lot of japanese bastian's. i would just note the conditions for being able to do that, though, where in some ways dependent on the attrition we inflict on the japanese navy and particularly their forces during 1943. what do you don't see happening behind the scenes, is there's immense shift in the correlation of strength in the pacific the americans are building up their apparatus for introducing new types of aircraft. and in the process, and new guinea, there is this constant attrition will engine growing up shoring up air forces. the island hopping campaign would not have been as quick to unfold, had we not done a lot of that fieldwork. when i say fieldwork, i mean telling. it had to be done against the japanese in 1943 to kind of set up the nominal's for 1944. >> next question seems to be geared towards niall, from jim, were gymnast and super gymnast the invasion of north africa, illegitimate aim for the u.s. to involve itself with or was it a political ploy by churchill to have u.s. powers served british in

so roughly speaking the correlation of air power in in the pacific at this point carrier air power is about two to one in favor of the japanese at this point and what that means for the americans is that we've been placed in the defensive sort of stance where we've got a ward off, you know blows from the japanese and the japanese have the initiative in this conflict next slide, please. here's what the situation looks like coming out of midway, you know, ouch if you're the japanese you've just lost the four best carriers in. inventory and about 3,000 sailors 250 carrier aircraft. this is a very very bad day at the office. the americans have lost the yorktown in return but the net effect. is that now the balance of carrier air power has kind of reached parity, which doesn't sound all that exciting but in the middle of 1942 in the dark dark middle of this year where everything is just going catastrophically wrong for the allies for the americans to be able to claw their way back to parody is immensely exciting and it opens up a whole array of strategic opportunities for the americans tha

into the eastern pacific? >> as you pointed out congressman, the indo pacific is important to us and in my very first trip was out to the region and i would just say that china is engaging a number of different countries with economic. >> carrots. >> yes, but we have something china doesn't have. have allies and partners and if you consider the australians, beach bands, the careers of the world, there is tremendous capacity in our allies and partners. i think the pacific islands are absolutely important and you will see us continue to engage various countries in the region and to make sure that where we can we are increasing our capacity and accessibility and strengthening the relationships. but we've far and away exceed any capability that china would have in terms of partner or ally capability and we're going to continue to strengthen what we have. >> what are your thoughts on expanding those relationships that we currently have or deviously had for example. >> the senate about the gavel in for the day. lawm

well, countries in the asia—pacific are watching to see what is going on in cornwall. they are looking for the scale of commitments made to things like vaccine distribution and climate change. of course, they are also looking to see how firm an alliance the g7 countries will pose to china and how firmly they will try to counter china's rise. some countries will be watching with some trepidation talk about this global corporate tax agreement that is in the works. countries or regions like hong kong, the chinese territory of hong kong, but also singapore, that like to offer corporations quite generous perks, might be starting to be concerned as we edge closer to a global tax agreement, that they won't be so lucrative in the future. brian, that is a challenge for ireland, isn't it? we heard paschal donohoe, the irish treasury minister, has been doing interviews around the fringes of the g7 about his government's perspective on this. how worried are the irish? because ireland has got quite a good reputation in the last couple of years in terms of its international diplomac

but in both europe and the pacific, another thing we found is that the army nested with diplomacy in the state department can be a steadfast partner and key to opening doors in some countries. in many of these countries the chief of defense is army, and our experience in the pauf seufic know that the u.s. is a better partner than china but they don't want to be forced into a public choice between us and their neighbor. what they want is a reliable partner that can engage in small scalability ways to help build a capacity over the long term. is this network of allies and partners across the atlantic as well as pacific that can stand together, train together and ultimately operate together and that is our greatest deterrence. modernization has already been briefly mentioned. we are at the beginning phases of the largest modernization effort in the last 40 years. it's at the forefront of fielding new technologies. through the efforts of army futures command, we bring our stakeholders under one roof. futures command reduced timelines to develop requirements as well as leverage, and new m

the army can -- and indeed the army was with the marines in the pacific theater. they're just not thought of as much in the history, right? but they were. so the question always is, why do we need a marine corps? now, they're very much on the chopping block here. they have to come up with -- so cage is the commandant at the time. he's got to come up with ways to show that the marines need a place in the defense industry. when korea happens, what you have is -- it takes the u.s. by surprise, right? and you have only -- the eighth army close nearby in japan. and the eighth army is only four -- you have the first cavalry, seventh division, 24th and 25th infantries forces. now, what the marine corps does is, they, they're very quick to organization the first marine division and say we're ready to go. that effectively is one of their biggest efforts at showing their right to be in a defense industry at the time was the rapidity with which they were able to move towards kraer. the commander was major general oliver p. smith and he integrates 1,000 african-americans into

sticking with the indo-pacific. my colleague from ohio raised this earlier and i'm also concerned that just in the last hour in 20 minutes of this hearing we've talked about china multiple times. we always talk about china in this committee, and i'm concerned some of the talking points that come out of the pentagon are not reflected in the sense of urgency to respond to china. in reviewing the army's budget and its fy '22 budget requests i'm concerned when dedicating enough funding to the pacific and indopacom. the request of about 1.8 billion, 1.5 billion less .5 billion less than the army's requests -- as we pivot to the pacific and china and rapidly advancing military, general, does this budget meet the future needs of the army to fight, to win in pacific to deter china from taking any more territory in the region, to support and keep her forces in the first island chains come at more troop rotations, or exercises that can prepare us for china and for potential conflicts in the western pacific? >> i think what's

and he explored the pacific from as far north as what would currently be alaska and as far south as antarctica and kind of kris crossing all over the ocean in between wilkes was a surveyor. he was most interested in mapping and to this day if you look on maps of antarctica, you will find a wilkes land named after him as he was the first surveyor to survey several islands and a section of antarctica now unlike some more famous expeditions of natural history. for example, charles darwin's famous voyage with the beagle. there was no naturalist at least a trained naturalist on the voyage along with wilkes and his men but there was an understanding that part of the expedition was to catalog. all kinds of is that we're seeing and so artifacts and plants both living and dried. we're we're collected during the four-year expedition between 1838 and 1842. and in fact, they collected close to 10,000 dried plant specimens, which had their own wonderful history and became a part of the nucleus collection of the national herbarium, which is housed within the smithsonian. and also they collected o

and eventually they arrive at the pacific ocean in november of 1805. now we don't have much more time to discuss their return trip, but i'll review that with you when we meet again on friday. but i want to thank you for your attention for today, and if you have any questions, i'm happy to entertain them. >> professor, i had a really quick question. >> go ahead. >> i was wondering if lewis and clark, if was chanding general of the united states army. his name was james wilkinson. we'll be talking about james wilkinson as a potential figure in the event yule death of merweather lewis. they weren't aware that the spanish were after them but they learned later that the spanish had turned back the other expeditions. great question. anything else? well, thanks for your attention. i hope you enjoyed this! we'll talk to you on friday. >>> weeknights we're featuring american history tv programs as a preview of what is available every weekend on c-span3. tonight the look at the relationship between president abraham lincoln and frederick douglass. he escaped sla
