The pamphlet said the strength of
the japanese army prevented the
Soviet from interfering with the power
Of the Jananese navy and made "fut-
lie the threats" of Henry L. Stimson,

Admiral Edward W. Erberls to the ef-
feet that the American navy was cap
able Of assuming any offensive neces-
sary to enforce the open door" policy
in China.

planes; the United States 5000, and
China $780," the pamphlet asserted.

forces of the power surrounding Japan

surance that we will meet only one
enemy, we must assume that the enc
my will have at least 5000 planes.
Japan has only 1000 planes. Car
