| Japan, to be starved into submission.
The only logical way to invade Man
chukuo would be through Siberia or
China, better still through both. In
China the road leads right through
the ground held by the Communist
4th and 9Th Route Armies fighting
60% of Japanese Occupation forces in
China and here is where a serious
situation may develop.
The Communist Chinese Partisans
scattered all the way from Canton
in the south to the borders of Man.
chukuo along the coast back of Japa-
nese frontlines are the most numer-
Gus and best organized guerrillas in
world and more feared by the Nip
ponese occupation troops than most
of Kai-Shek's forces.
They are neither backed by Shang-
hal bankers gold nor do they get any
of the credit or supplies we send to
Chungking but depend mostly on
equipment captured from the Japa-
nese, but they govern an area with
close to hundred million inhabitants.
In this area there is less banditry
and Black Markets and more law-and-
order than on ground under the war
lords or the Chungking regime Kai-
Shek has been fighting them long be-
fore the aJpanese invasion and is as
anxious, if not more, to destroy, or
subjugate them than the invading
Japs.
When we land in China it will be
necessary to traverse territory under
the domination of the 4th and 8th
Route Communist armies which NAV
cause misunderstanding Should we
insist on disarming them like was
done in Greece and Italy, and its a
question if Russia will quietly sit on
the side-lines. 1t will be another
case of Polish question, only on a
larger scale. By little u. S. press
ure, the Kuomintang government in
Free China could be persuaded to
hold free Democratic elections which
it has long promised but failed to in
augurate. This would suit the major
ity of the Chinese people and would
please Russia as much as it would
please us, after all Russia wants
friendly neighbors on her borders.
Someone here, with secure seats in
the galleries, are asking the CT Joes
If they would be willing to fight the
Russians. Horror of horrors, per-
chance they may be called home as
in 1919 in Siberia and leave China
form her own government. China
may go Red, little do we care.
We might as well reconcile our
selves with the fact that both Europe
IS well as Asia are veering to the
eft as far as governments are con-
,erned.

CHINA. A Under BOX

| World War II started when the
Wehrmacht marched into Poland and
ended when the Red Army marched
through Poland into Berlin and by a
strikingly queer co-incident the Jap
anese war started when the Nips in
vaded China from Manchuria in 1881
and will likely end there when the
Japanese army is driven out of Man
chukuo or destroyed there.
The Allies, having complete control
of sea and air can actually blockade
bypassed the Jap's naval base at
Truk, virtually putting Japan into a
huge concentration camp The only
open supply route to the home land
is through the Sea of Japan which
will be closed as soon as Russia en-
ters the war
With the industrial centers of the
Japanese Archipelago pretty well al
most bombed out and raw material
shut out, she is left with the only
alternative to make last-ditch-stand
in Manchukuo where the main body
and her best troops are stationed as
well as big part of her war equip
ment. While Japan's brain may be
located in Tokyo, her main strength,
to which place her industries are
being gradually evacuated, is Manchu-
kuo.
United States armed forces now
have the choice, and ability, to land
on Japanese soil or in China. To
reduce the Jap mainland would be
very slow and costly and not sure to
win the war, but, to reduce Manchu-
kuo would make prison-camp out of

Dear Sirs:
Enclosed pleace find $1,000 as a

in making the improvements" you
speak of do not change the policies

only paper in Montana, | think, that
gives to the general public the real
facts behind all the political ballyhoo
both state and national.
In my humble opinion one of the
best improvements would be wider
circulation and as soon as I return

l shall try to accomplish in my own
county.
