Foreign Policy Group
Sees Possibility Of
Jap Internal Collapse
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
The Foreign Policy Association
says Japan may crack" internally
when her people and soldiers finally
realize they are being herded down
the road to their first national de-
feat.
The association, a privately
funded research group incorporated
these observations today into a
study of Japanese history, eco
nomics and psychology:
1T seems unwise and unl1istorical
to assume that the morale of the
japanese is unbreakable, unless we
believe that they are fundamentally
different from all other peoples and
even under the severest strain, are
not subject to the common pat
terms of human behavior"
Although "Japan's rulers have
hitherto composed their differences
through a policy of overseas ex-
pansion, serious disagreements may
arise on the eve of defeat"
Jap Peasants Not DociIe.
Despite the general docility of
the japanese peasants, they are
capable of great violence"
IF the assaults of the United
Nations and the demands of the
Japanese people are sufficiently
compelling, the imperial household
and the bureaucracy may support
peace moves in an effort to save
their own skins"
The association reported indica-
tions of current internal discomfort
| in Japan, viewing as especially
significant "the recent ban on public
assemblies not specifically arranged
through the official propaganda
| agency" These developments sug-
gest, the association said, that
democratic or at least anti -militar-
istic tendencies" exist within the
country.
Considering the possibility of
collapse of japanese morale, the
survey had this to say:
"The unwillingness so far of any
significant number of japanese to
surrender on the battlefield is the
result of several concrete condi-
tions: Powerful indoctrination
against surrender, Japans success
sion of victories over a period of
years, and the fact that recent
fighting in the Southwest Pacific
and the Aleutians has involved not
mass armies but comparatively
small bodies of men.
Reserves Are Inferior.
IF large japanese armies-not
picked troops-suffer major defeats,
the old imperatives are likely to
lose force, especially since in the
later stages of the war manpower
will be drawn increasingly from
sources that are inferior both in
physical stamina and indoctrina-
ton.
Japan has never fought war
on the present scale-all its previous
wars were against single, relatively
weak opponents like Manchu China
and TsariSt RuSSia-nor has it ever
been beaten.
What will the situation be after
TOXIC and other cities have endured
mass bombings and after Japan's
forces have been steadily pressed
back by superior arms? Quite pos
sibly the war years that lie ahead
will be more important in shaping
the future mentality of Japan than
the country's longer past of officially
promoted loyalty and superstition.

Pauline Betz's Tennis
Gets Title, but Rates.
Below Standard
BY the Associated Press.

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept. g.
Champion for the second straight
year, titian-haired Pauline Betz of
Los Angeles comes pretty close to
dominating women's tennis in the
United States. But the experts
agree that she hardly rules the divi-
sion the way Alice Marble did few
years ago.
1t was Miss Marble who pointed
out recently that the current crop
of female players had been denied
the advantage of visiting Europe
and playing against international
competition.
In the women's tournament that
ended yesterday, Miss Betz had just
two hard matches and each time
she faltered to lose one set. Yester-
day she retained the title by beat
ing Louise Brough Of Beverly Hills.
Calf, 6-3, ST, 6-3. She looked
virtually unbeatable in the final
set after losing one and going over
time in another and it seemed to be
her endurance as much as her
sound forehand drives that carried
her through.
The six-day tournament was
scheduled to end today with the
awarding of three more tits. In
the main event, Seaman Jack Kra-
mer of the Coast Guard, third
seeded entry, was to meet Navy
Lit. Joseph Hunt in the mems singles
