Jops Could Nu||ify Singapore
Without Actually Capturing 1t
Defense of VitoI Allied Bose Soid
To Depend Heavily on Air Power

Those warplanes presumably winged
their way over the mountains from
British Burma.
Japanese imperial headquarters
yesterday asserted that enemy air
power in both Malaga and the Phil
ippines has been crushed" The
communiQue also claimed that 1.-The
main power of the British air force
has been destroyed and what is
left has fed to Singapore This
was about the time that British
bombers were unloading a spot OF
bother for the Japs at Bangkok.
Probably the Japs don't believe
their own communiQues. In any
event, there can be little doubt that
they are throwing all possible
strength into their drive toward
Singapore, in an effort to achieve
their objective before the Allies do
get reinforcements and counter
attack.
Burma Reservoir of Trouble.
Burma, which lies up against the
japanese bases of Siam and French
Indo- China, is a reservoir of trouble
for Nippon. Not only will air power
come from that direction, but there
is talk OF an Allied land offensive
against Siam and Indo-China from
British soil.
Such an offensive, II successful
would catch the Jap troops on the
Malayan peninsula in a trap.
However, such an attack from
Burma wouldn't be at all easy, be-
cause OF the mountainous country,
which would have to be crossed.
If the Japs aren't stopped. and are
able to drive the British feet and
air force from Singapore, they will
have broken the greatest barrier to
the Netherlands Indies. That is the
Garden of Eden which they seek, In
order to secure the means with
which to continue their emulation OF
Genghis Khan, whose military
prowess and barbaric practices they
obviously admire.
The notification Of Singapore's S
striking power wouldn't win the war
for Japan. but it most certainly
would make the Allied task much
greater and would prolong the con-
flict.

The Japanese today intensified
the fury of their thus far successful
drive down the narrow Malayan
Peninsula toward the British naval
base of Singapore, and the threat to
this keystone of Allied Far Eastern
operations was, indeed. serious.
The real danger, as I see it, lies in
the not generally recognized fact
that the Japs don't necessarily have
to capture this island stronghold in
order to render it ineffective.
There is satisfaction in the proba-
bility that Singapore can withstand
a long siege. But hope shouldn t
be pinned to that.
II the heavily punished Japs can
keep their offensive going with
blood transfusions and establish
themselves on the tip OF the penin-
sula just across from the island
they may be able with siege guns
and bombing planes to make 1t i'm
possible to use 1t as naval base
The fleet then must seek another
mothering haven.
Air Power Important.
In this respect, Singapore is rather
like the Rock of Gibraltar-almost
impregnable as a citadel, but a
crippled giant If it is unable to carry
out its main function of protecting
the warships beneath its guns.
1t is increasingly evident that
Singapore's successful defense must
depend heavily on air power. That
power has been lacking thusfar, and
the Nipponese control the air.
The question Of why this should
be so can be left to the historians
for the answer can't help much now
Perhaps one reason was that it took
the Japanese surprise attack against
Pearl Harbor and the Allied posi-
tions in the Orient to bring the
world to a realization Of the awful
strength concealed in the warplane
