Japs Lose Biggest Gamble of War

Japan lost It's biggest gamble OF
the war today with the announce
ment by President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill that
their conferences at Quebec had
turned very largely upon the war
against Japan"

gambled that the United States
could not fight two ocean war
and that America could not carry
out an offensive In the Pacific
while helping Britain battle Ger.
many ard Italy in Europe.
The strategy OF the enemy proved
correct during the early part OF
hostilites when the Allies were
forced TO fight delaying actions IN
the Pacific until they could aug
ment their strength. The United
States began its first major thrust
at Japan last August when It in

however. that the tide OF the war
