Japs Still Powerful, but
Position Grows Weaker
Shipping Losses Reduce Flow of MATERIAL;
Efficiency of Pilots Suffers From
Poor Tactics in Combat.
BY BAUKHAGE
Ne,os analyst and Commentator.

the war figurative1y, as well as lit
orally, close to Japan. It registers
the success Of a strategy which has
smashed Japan's outer defenses, her
great Pacific island empire. It
proves that ''island-hopping' is I'M
necessary. This means that the re-
naming Japanese strongholds such
as Truk, and other outposts do not
have to be knocked off one by one,
they can be by-passed and starved
out, If necessary.
Saipan in American hands means
also that the B-29's which have al
ready sounded their warning to the
Jap home folk will soon be in ac-
tive operation on a scale hitherto
unapproached.
Germany, like Japan, has at this
writing a powerful land army.
But Japan, like Germany, has a
vanishing air force. Note the corol-
larry and see how it applies to ia
pan. The Allied air force crippled
the German air force. And as Nazi
fighter-defense dwindled, so the
weight of sheer numbers reduced
the effectiveness of German anti
aircraft defense and offense, due to
the bombing of her plane factories
and plane-part factories and to the
destruction Of her pilots. Germany s
next greatest weakness is lack OF
gas and oil. This has been caused
by the destruction (by the Allied air
force AGAIN. of oil wells, gasoline
refineries and synthetic oil plants.
Proofs of the effects Of this bomb
ing are not limited to photographs
showing the effect of Allied air raids
on ball-bearing plants, on the Ploesti
oil wells, on the synthetic oil plants
and the refineries. It is shown in
the German tanks and other war We
hicles in perfect condition aban-
doned and captured because they
ran out Of fuel.
Raids, really shake-down cruises
Of the giant B-29's directed against
Japanese industrial plants, have just
begun.

Distances Shrink in
Far Pacific Warfare

Is Japan in any better position to
resist air attack than Germany?
The answer seems to be no." Her
greatest defense is distance, and dis
tances in the Pacific theater have
shrunk at speed far greater than
most people dreamed was possible.
Japan's next defense - fighter
p1anes-has suffered in greater pro-
portion than was expected. The
quality, as well as the quantity OF
Jap planes has fallen off so that
Japan has become stingy in her
use of fighters as the Germans. The
quality of her pilots has greatly de-
Perforated. And this point blends
into another. Japan simply has not
the strategic know-how of aviation.
When she does send her bombers
and fighters out in great numbers,
they are no match for Allied power.
There is no question that as ia
pans resistance weakens the Allied
striking power is increased. It is
impossible to mention details, OF
course, for security reasons and it
would be unwise to assemble known
facts and figures concerning the type
of material manufa ctured and the
disposition Of forces which, taken
together, would indicate clearly
enough how the weight Of Allied
might is being distributed.
We can quote the statement OF
Prime Minister Curtin Of Australia,
for instance, who says that this
year" British forces in great num-
bers will be transferred to the Pa
cific theater.
Finally, there is a third factor
which seems to be Fastening Of the
end. It is difficult to speak Of 'mo-
rale" in connection with Japan since
the people are told how and what
to think. But the tone of the official
utterances has taken on a decidedly
gloomy note. Even as to the shifts
in command-the fall Of the TOTO
cabinet - which might have been
hailed with cheerful fanfare, the
phrases were grave and grim.
It is also reported, from sources
in touch with Japan's inner poll
tics, that the Jap militarists are
waiting hopefully to see if the Allies
grant enough leniency in their terms
to Germany to justify surrender on
their part. Although it was en-
phatically denied in Tokyo it is still
believed here that the Japanese rep
resentative to the Holy See laid
tentative peace offer before the
Pope.

fWdSAAS eOns ne 0s
Paradoxically, on the eve OF what
may be the greatest land battle
America has ever fought, this coun-
try is turning it's eyes eastward.
The nervous Berlin radio has al
ready announced that the war in Eu-
rope may be decided in three
months. That statement lends color
to the hints that General Rommel,
the one Nazi commander who seems
to see eye to eye with the Fuehrer
and yet is apparently permitted to
work out his strategy according to
military science and not Hitlerian
intuition, is going to fight it out, win
lose or draw, along the outer edges
of Normandy. What effect the events
following the attempt on the life OF
Hitler will have on the internal stu
alton in Germany-or what the IN"
cident indicates about Germany
within, remains to be seen.
Whether the German collapse
comes before the leaves turn, or
after the snow flies, the next weeks
will see emphasis placed on the Pa
cific campaign. It is not beyond
the realm Of possibility that peace
can be wrung from Japan well with
in the current 12-month. The fall OF
TOTO and his cabinet indicates the
gravity with which the Japs are
looking ahead.
First, let us examine the material
upon which Japan counts to make up
her sinews Of strength.
She has managed to keep her
main battle fleet ''in being" as the
phrase goes. Like Germany, toward
the end of the last war, in spite OF
heavy losses in auxiliary craft, she
still has enough of her big war wag-
ons to stage ''battle Of Jutland,"
or at least to attempt it.
Second: Japan still has large.
well-trained, well-equipped army.
That army has never been subject
to the wear and tear Of sustained
battle with an equal. 1t is true that
there are many retreats which we
have read about when the Japs have
staged what was advertised as
big offensive and which petered out
with the flag of Nippon back where
it started from. However, it Is gen.
orally agreed among military men
that, except perhaps in the recent
abortive morale drive into India,
and in Burma where General Still
well and the Chinese armies are
moving to junction, the Japs have
usually done just about what they
expected to do and could have done
more if they had made up their
minds to it. For the most part they
have not tried to win territory and
hold it. They have tried to wear
down the Chinese army, contribute
to the irnpoverishment and theweak-
ening of the Chinese government.
This they have accomplished to no
little degree. They have likewise
reduced the number Of actual and
potential American airbases in Chi
ma. They have made a possible land
invasion of the Chinese coast hard
er for the Allies. Such an invasion
is considered inevitable and essen
tial to Allied victory.
On the debit side, there are these
items:
First, is one word written in the
boldest hand because Of the thing it
mbolizes-SATPAN.

HiehIights from

The kaleidoscope variety OF
wars strange, stupendous, and
often terrible scenes taxes the
powers of the most able word
craftsmen. Their tools fail them
when they try TO convey the
picture of a dead Jap in a water
filled shell hole in New Guinea,
or a direct hit on zig-zagging
Jap destroyer. For realistic i'm
pact, nothing yet written can do
what a photograph can do, es-
pecially those taken during this
most photographed of all wars.
"Our Army at War" (Harper;
So, with a foreword by Chief of
Staff Gen. George c. Marshall,
is an impressive collection of
such pictures-482 official War
Department pho togra phs -
which tell the epic story of the
American Army's participation
in World War II, from Pearl
Harbor through the Medlterran-
can campaign and the opening
months of the air war over Eu-
rope.
The publishers, who drew the
assignment from the War De-
partment by lot, have assembled
these remarkable pictures to fol-
low a running text, which takes
in training and preparation at
home as we'll as actual battle
activity on land, the sea, and in
the air. Our Army at War" is
book whose value will grow
in years to come. 1t is a splendid
pictorial record Of a great war

Home
Nurse
BY MARY BEARD
Director Nursing Service,
Written for NEA Service

A woman asks, What is a
safe medicine for me to give
my child to stop fever"
The answer is, Nothing"
Fever is a symptom, not a dis
ease. 1t is not to be cured, but
to be endured-until the dis
order causing it can be corrected.
Fever is one of natures devices
to help protect the body against
infection. 1t prevents the growth
of certain bacteria and stimu-
lates some of the body defenses.
Feel the swollen area around
a small wound a day or so af-
ter the injury, and note that it
is red and hot. Here the fever
is localized, that is, confined to a
small area. 1t is sign that the
white blood cells have collected
around the wound to keep the
bacteria that may have entered
there from spreading farther in
to the body.
FEVER COMBATS BACTERIA
In certain types of infection,
doctors now deliberately raise
the temperature as a treatment
measure. BY doing so, they help
the body defenses in combat
ting the invading bacteria. So
you see you need not be alarmed
about a fever unless it Is very
high.
The home nurse is taught to
use a fever thermometer as one
way of determining how sick the
patient is, and when it is neces-
sary to call a doctor. Because
the heat-regulating mechanism
in children is less stable than in
adults, they are likely to have
greater elevation Of temperature
for comparatively minor causes.
However, when fever goes
above 100 degrees, and persists
over a period of hours, or recurs
daily for any length of time, it
should be reported to the doctor,
One may have fever as a re-
suit of slight digestive disturb
ance or cold, and not feel very
sick. Nevertheless, he should be
put to bed and kept there for
at least "a hours after fever
subsidies. A day or so of com
plete bed rest and liquid diet
will give the body a chance to
fight back against the infection
and will hasten recovery.
