RetoI;otory Air Raids on Japan
Forecast for Late Spring
Russia Expected to Be Drown Into War,
Giving U S. Members Access to Bases

Here Is an analysis OF the Far
Eastern Uar situation, embodying
a forecast of the time ,Uhen the
United States 1Uill assume the air
offensive, By Depon Francis, dDid-
ton editor OF Wide World Ne1ps.
BY DEVON FRANCIS,
Wide World News.
NEW YORK, Jan. 15-In these
difficult days when the United
States armed forces are only de-
Tending, not attacking, am going to
venture some forecasts on the Far
Eastern war which are designed to
brighten drab picture.
In theif order:
l. This country slowly but surely
will gain air superiority over Japan.
2. We can look for retaliatory air
raids, in payment for the wanton
attack on Manila. by late spring.
3. A bombing campaign against
Japans vital war industries may
provide the opportunity, for the first
time in history of air warfare, to
NJ
won largely by air power.
This is no time for overoptimism.
Pearl Harbor put an end to happy
confidence that a war with Japan
would be of short duration.
But neither is it time to under
estimate growing American Often
sive power in the air.
We will gain air superiority be-
cause we can out-prOduce the jap
anese both in airplanes and pilots.
Even if they can replace their strik-
ing losses in men and planes-and
they well may-they cannot match
our output.
U. S. to Gain Superiority.
On the basis on what has hap
pened up to now, it is pretty safe to
conclude that in the long run air
superiority will top the scales to-
ward victory. Without undertaking
Japanese air power, it is also pretty
safe 10 conclude we are going to be
superior in quality as well as guam
tity
Pictures of Japanese dive bombers
IN fight over Hawaii did not i'm
press American airplane designers.
Their torpedo bombers, responsible
for the damage to American war
ships, looked better-comparable to
what We have in this country.
Japanese losses when they tangle
with United Nation flyers would in
indicate a definite inferiority both
In equipment and in flying skill.
base the prospect for late-spring
retaliatory air raids on the prob
ability that Russia and Japan will
be drawn into war.
TT may be predicted" says the
war analyst of the Army and Navy
journal, Strategicus, that active
hostilities between Japan and Russia
will break out as soon as spring

| weather permits large-scale military
operations. Stain knows this
Russo-Jap war is inevitable"
War between Russia and Japan
would make available to American
bomber crews the bases from which
they could strike readily at Japa-
nese industrial areas. Such bases
are not available at present.
Repeated Raids Possible.
If suf1icient planes were concen-
trated in Siberia for such attacks
they could be carried on almost with
the regularity and force with which
Germany attacked Britain during
the winter Of 1940-41.
For all the reserves which Japan
has been able to pile up against the
outbreak Of war, she has no coun-
terpart of America on which to
draw for sustenance when those
bombing attacks commence. Friend
ly hands, reaching across the North
Atlantic, helped England in her
worst hour of trial.
Can Japan be knocked out with
bombs?
Gulio. Douhet, the great Italian
exponent of intensive bombing, ar
gued that a war could be won by
wiping out with bombs the source
of an enemy's strength for the war
effort-its industries.
England disproved the theory.
But England is not Japan, her
energy sapped by four and a half
years Of war in China, and her
troops, already engaged on two
fronts, facing war on a third front.
Champions of Billy Mitchell, who
foresaw air war for what it is to-
day, believe Russian and American
heavy bombers can well break the
heart of the Japanese seat of en-
pire.
Until events show it can't be done,
I am inclined to string along with
them.
