This particular operation took place under the

the British problem of landing troops In Norway.
Leaving aside naval interference imagine a
convoy of 40 so trOopshps crossing the 5000 miles
of the Atlantic Ocean toward the United States. The
departure of such invading force could not be kept
secret.
"Our defending bombers would start attacking it

grow In intensity the convoy approached. The
invasion might not be stopped before it reached the
coast, but it would be badly damaged. -------
Imagine then this convoy attempting to come

Colonel, on Radio,
Says Nation Must
Fight Encirclement

TOXIC. Sept. "A stern warn
ing that Japan will have to fight
a long war against Britain and the
United States 10 break the anti
japanese enlightenment policy OF
the "A-B-C-D" states was sounded
today by Col. Hayao Mabuchi,
chief of the press department in
imperial army headquarters.
Speaking before a huge East
Asia Day mass meeting in Kyozistu
Hall, Tokio-the speech was broad
cast-Mabuchi said that recent in
ternational events had placed
Japan In an extremely critical
position.
SUPPLY LINE IN PERIL
America, Britain. China and
Dutch East Indies have forced
Japan into a position in which her
vital supplies Of raw materials,
which must come from the East
Asia prosperity sphere, have
been endangered, he said, adding:
cit would be the height OF
folly for Japan 60 sit idly by
and await death"
Mabuchi's speech conceded with
declarations in the Toxic press
that Japan must stand by her East
Asia policy even though events in
Europe are certain TO further af-
feet the Far Eastern situation.
The newspaper Yomiuri Shimhun
said Japan's thus-far firm stand
has prevented the extension of the
European war to Asia.
WAR REPERCUssIoNs
Japan must work out far
sighted plans 90 cope with future
developments" Yomiuri said,
because the Soviet German

cussions I'm East Asia"
Kokurnin Shimbun gave proml-
hence to an article stating that
the extension Of the European war
TO Iran, In which British and
Soviet military forces recently
seized control. was now threaten
ing to involve the prosperity of
the East Asia sphere of prosperity.
Japan. said Kokurnin, must
bolster her total war struggle and
pursue q policy based upon the
tri-power pact aligning her beside
Germany and Italy without being
dazzled by the temporary change
In the international situation.
Presumably. these remarks were
intended to cover recent American
Japanese conversations in Wash

Phillips championed large fleets of bombers to

Surely Comrade Joe, who

fail to starve or hang a few

And surely he would not
hesitate to take the land
away from the farmers to

of them who objected.
And surely he would not
neglect to make our poor de-
luded working people work
as long as he wished, and as

as little as he wished-Or
hang THEM.
Get ready to be shot or
hanged, everybody who has
two pigs or two shirts or two
