BASED ON DEFENSE

Japan tilOl - utIlNtlOi wal ~ al
most certainly Will be based on
the need for home defense.
The Japanese offensive in
Kwangsi and Kwangtung has
triple purpose.
Firstly, it deprives the Amer
leans and Chinese of ar bases
from which her continental COM
and storehouSeS, as
well as the japanese islands. could
be attacked.
Secondly, if successful. the cur
rent drive will open a land
route from Indo-China 10 occupied
China; An important gain in view
of the destructive effect of Amer
lean air and submarine attacks on
Jap coastal shipping.
DEFEND COAST
Thirdly, it will permit Japan to
consolidate her coastal defenses
by taking from the enemy bases
which undoubtedly would have
been used for offensive operations
supporting American landings.
1t is almost certain that the
japanese will succeed in eastern
China. But the Chinese armies de-
Tending Kweilin, Liuchow and
Manning are giving every indica-
ton that they Will m ak e the
success a costly one.
China's alarmed, ill-fed and ILL
trained troops, seasoned in defeat,
are putting up desperate resist
ance. But, despite the trickle of
American supplies reaching them
over a torturous supply line, the
Chinese are almost certain to lose.
HAVE ONE HOPE
They have only one hope, that
the Japanese supply line falter
under guerilla and Fourteenth Air
Force attacks.
However, if il Is true that
Nimitz intends landing his troops
directly on the japanese islands
and bypassing China and the
strong Japanese armies garrisoned
there, then il is possible that the
current defeats will not prolong
the war unduly.
Military and political opinion is
divided on the question of whether
the continental armies of Japan
will fold if Japan itself is &C.
cupied.
WOULD CONTINUE WAR
Some informed political and
military observers in China be-
lieve that Japan's armies in China
would continue the war even II
the japanese islands were oc-
cupied.
Japan has, in Manchuria, some
of its largest war factories, pro-
ducing everything the japanese
army uses. In Manchuria, it has
the steel, coal and other raw
materials necessary to carry on its
war industry and those raw ma
terials not there have undoubtedly
been piled up from the plentitude
in Malaysia and the East Indies.
China itself can and does pro-
duce the food necessary to keep
the Japanese army fighting long
time on the continent.
If this viewpoint proves true,
then the loss of Kweilin, Liuchow
and Manning will mean. in the last
stages of the war, a considerable
cost In Chinese and American
lives.

Japan Builds
China Fort
BY DARRELL BERRIGAN
United Press War Correspondent

The Japanese offensive in China
is designed TO consolidate an Ash
attic stronghold in which Japanese
resistance can continue in the face
of the irresistible American often
sive in the Pacific which is driving
the japanese from the Philippines,
threatening their lifelines TO Ma
laya and the East Indies and bring
ing Japan itself under threat of
direct assault.
The Japs, faced with inevitable
loss of their gains in the SOUTH
west Pacific, are apparently con-
centrating on the perfection of
their home defenseS. The sudden
appearance of Gen. Macarthur in
the Philippines and Adm. Nimitz
in the MarianaS has brought the
war TO Japan's doorstep.
