After details of the stationing of Japanese ships during the Battle of the Coral Sea (which was part of Japan's failed attempt to seize Port Moresby) were leaked as a result of a press meet, [179] Roosevelt ordered that censorship be imposed on Australia, and the War Advisory Board granted to GHQ authority to censor the Australian press.

Australian newspapers were restricted and only reported what was written in GHQ's daily announcements. [179] [180] Veteran correspondents regarded the daily announcement (written in person by MacArthur) as a “joke” and “disseminated Alice-in-Wonderland information at a high level. “[181]

At the end of 1943 and the beginning of 1944, conservative factions in the Republican Party centered in the Midwest region tried to convince MacArthur to advance as the party's prospective presidential candidate for the 1944 tahin election, as the two men most likely to win the nomination from the Party Republicans (namely Wendell Willkie and New York Governor Thomas E.

However, MacArthur's promise to “return” to the Philippines was still not fulfilled in 1944, as a result he decided not to go forward as a potential presidential candidate until he succeeded in liberating the Philippines. [208]

However, the terrain in the newly overrun area turned out to be unsuitable for the construction of an air base, so MacArthur was forced to look for a better place to the west.

Bad weather and resistance on the part of the Japanese slowed the pace of American forces, so the military campaign dragged on. [218] [219] By the end of December, Krueger's headquarters estimated that there were 5,000 Japanese troops left in Leyte, and on December 26, MacArthur issued an official announcement stating that “this military campaign can now be considered complete except for a small purge”.

After taking control of Manila, MacArthur gave the post to one of his companions in the Philippines, Manuel Roxas (who was also one of a handful of people who knew about the money Quezon gave to MacArthur in 1942); this post later helped Roxas become a the next president of the Philippines. [240]

Regarding MacArthur's claim that Roxas was part of a resistance movement against Japan, American historian Gerhard Weinberg wrote that “... evidence that corroborates this has still not been found”, and he also observed that by supporting Roxas, MacArthur had ensured that there would be no a serious effort to raise the issue of Filipino collaboration with the Japanese after the war ended.
