 What about Japan's air force? l., it not sufficient to defeat us in the Philippines? @A<
 There is no such thing as a Japan ese air force able to take any ln,- portant part in warfare. The Japan ese is not an aviator. He cannot be safely entrusted with an airplane.
 There is no place left for warfare, then, except the West coast of Amer. ica. But Japan would no more think of carrying war to our coast than America would think of trying to land an army in the Japanese archi- pelago. Both are equally impossible.
 So if both nations would and could fight, where would the fighting take place?
 No Battlefield Available
 Frankly I can see no place on this world that would make a battlefield in the event of such war. Similar objections as those stated above may be raised to any and all territories

only to be ever watchful of the Jap anese, but to inject sufficient meas urc Of suspicion into the situation so that until the world reduces it's military power our military strength is maintained and increased. @
 In this. series of articles I have shown how Japanese policy works. It is rot Q record to the credit of Japan and from it the feel of war might easily be drawn. But do not mistake suspicion for inevitableness. There is a radical difference between the two particularly when one contem- plates the many excellent reasons why Japan cannot go to war.
 After all, any natlon can go to war with another if it so desires. There fore, the United States and Japan should seek a common understand ing of problems that admittedly are vexing. In the event of this there is no need for war Perhaps, too, that is the best answer to the whole question, in the final analysis.
