Having accomplished every one Of
her major detectives, Japan is salts
fed that she has won the war in the
Pacific. All that remains, as she
sees it, is to complete the unas-
sailable wall of land, sea and air
defenses she is building around her
huge, rich new empire-a wall be-
hind which she can grow fat and
strong as she YIELDS her liberated
peoples" together for the coming
war of extinction against the white
race.
All she needs is time-just a
little more time, please.
Some public leaders in Ameri-
ca have stressed the great his
toric menace that faces us in
the Pacific. Few, however, have
dared to state the whole star
Ting truth. The truth is that
Japan has already won her war.
With the exception of Midway is
land, and despite her defeats in the
Solomons and New Guinea, Japan
has captured every important OBJ
jective she set out to take.
All She Needs.
Japan has seized all the territory
and all the resources she needs.
Japan now rules 100000, 900 people.
We have not yet started in earnest
to fight our Wharf.-The war to re-
take the great areas Japan has
captured.
That will be new war, and be-
cause Japan will not be caught un-
prepared, it will be incredibly more
costly than the lightning campaigns
by which Hirohito's army and navy
took over the great wealth and ter
ritory the United Nations had left
virtually undefended in the Far
East.
Unless we start to fight Japan
soon, with every weapon at our COM
mand, and unless we keep China in
the war on our side, we may find
this second war impossible to win.
Japan, embarked on a deliberate
program of world conquest, sees
this struggle as racial war which
may last century, and in which,
backed by the limitless manpower
and resources of the Orient, she will
win the final victory.
All that Japan needs to make her
the worlds greatest power is time
time to exploit and develop her new
empire and to unite the people of
Asia under her leadership.
Until today, Japan has had that
time. Japan is under no real mill
tary pressure from the United States.
Behind solid network of defenses
which we have not yet begun to pene-
trate, Japan is using her time wise
ly and efficiently to achieve her i'm
mediate objective - the military,
economic and political consolidation
of the Orient.
Having underestimate Japan's
skill, preparedness and determina-
ton before the war, we should not
make the same mistake again in
assessing her ability to carry out
her present program.
Japan today is highly vulnerable
to air attack. Most of her heavy
industry is still concentrated in four
areas located along a 40O-mile strip
of coast extending south and west
from Tokyo. More than 10000, 900
people live and work in the great
seaport cities of Tokyo, Yokohama,
Nagoya, Kobe, Osaka, Shimonoseki
and Moi. If these cities were heav-
lily bombed now, Japan would be
severely crippled.
Six months from today, how
ever, that may no longer be the
case. For Japan is becoming
continental power, through
program of dispersal of heavy
industry.
Japan's fundamental aim is 10
scatter key industries over so wide
an area that many thousands of air
planes would be needed to inflict
vital damage.
With the seizure of Tientsin,
Shanghai, Hong Kong, Manila and
Singapore, Japan came into posses
sion of tremendous American and
British industrial facilities.
The economic resources of the con-
quered territories are being exploit
ed under a plan which Japan has
been perfecting for the past decade
"a master plan for control of labor,
transportation, shipping, public
works, agriculture, finance, industry
and all other functions of captured
areas.
From the Philippines, Japan is
