insignificant as are the overall
figures for Japanese surrenders
in comparison with battle deaths
or suicides, they are on the in
crease even on Okinawa.
While this tendency to accept
ultimate Japanese defeat as inc
vitable carries with it as yet no
promise of a general morale col
lapse in. enemy ranks, it seems
clear that American tactics in
pressing the air campaign against
the Japanese nome islands do not
depend on bombing alone for eff
feet. That was brought out by Col
onel Albert Warner of the War
Department IN weekend broad

these paper attacks on Japanese

upon such predictions as those of

erations in Europe would fall upon

will double.
The American air chief also
pointed out that the history of
strategic air attack on Germany
is due to repeat itself against
japan. What actually rendered the
Nazi Luftwaffe all but important
in the final phases of the war in
Europe was lack of plane fuel
rather than lack of planes, ne said.
Obviously Japanese stores of ma
tural or synthetic gasoline are
far more limited than were Ger
many's, and more vulnerable. AS
air enthusiasts foresee the situa-
ton in Japan in due course, it will
be as roofless as was Germany
There is another factor involved
in the strategic bombing pattern,
however, that is likely to prove
even more decisive than failure
or plane fuel supplies. Captured
German high. commanders have
agreed since their surrender that
air disruption of German COM
munications, of railroads and high
ways, made continuation of the
fight impossible Japan's COM
municatiofs both at home, at sea
and in Manchuria are far more
limited and vulnerable than were
Germany's.
In illustration of this point cur

out that breakdown in japanese
transport in the northern end oil

for the impending complete col
