they believe, the Axis will fall
apart and the United Nations
will then drive Japan back
into her own islands as a kind
of "mOpping up" operation.
The dangerous element in
this line of logic is that, while
it fully recognizes Nazi Ger
many's military potential, 1T
TENDS TO UNDER-RATE
THAT OF JAPAN.
The wise policy for this
country, situated as we are
midway between two wars
and engaged in both, is plainly
not to ER-ESTIMATE
one enemy while ESTIMAT-
ING the combative force of
the other.
Granting that Germany is
still powerful, is it not becom-
ing evident that Japan is also
IpowerfuI-and is BECOMING
MORE so?
Japan entered the war with
a population of 9O,0OO,O00
people, with the worlds sec
ond largest merchant marine,
with the most powerful navy
in the Pacific, with a veteran
army of four or five million
men, with an air fleet of un-
suspected strength, and with
an arsenal, as we now know,
which she had been accumu-
lating for years.
Because Japan then lacked
ample supplies of certain
essential war materials, our
national habit of mind was to-
regard her as a militant but
pauper nation, incapable of
wide cOnquests or of a long
sustained conflict against our
superior natural resources.
But Japan, i'm five months,
has tremendously increased
HER resources, and deprived
US completely of such neces-
saries as Asiatic rubber and
tin.
Six months ago, as the
Wall Street Journal has re-
ported, Japan had NONE of
the worlds rubber resources
today she had NINETY
ONE PER CENT.
Six months ago, Japan had
LESS THAN NINE PER
