DOOLITTLE PLANS
ATTACK ON JAPS
LIEUTENANT GENERAL AR.
RIVED IN PACIFIC
THEATER TODAY
my Associated Pressl

GUAM, July %. - Lieu
tenant General Jimmy"
Dooaittle, who commanded
the first squadrons of Ameri-
can flyers that bombed Tokyo
in April, 1942, arrived in the
Pacific theatre today and
said that the American Eigh-
th Airforce, which he COM
mands, will be ready to strike
at the Japs in eight days.
He was asked if he thought
the Japs could be defeated
without troops having to in
wade Japan, and replied that
he made no claim of the air
force having won the war in
Europe and would not make
any claim that it would win
it in the Pacific. The aim Of
the airmen, he stated, was
to coordinate its action with
that of other branches of the
armed service.

PSYCHOLOGICAL
WAR BEING MADE
mo- AGAINST JAPS
MUCH EXPECTED IN THAT
REGARD IN WHAT TAKES
PLACE AT CONFERENCE OF
BIG THREE
tBY A.ssoei..tea E.r%ss,

POTSDAM, July %. a
Psychological war" is now be-
ing made against the Japs. it was
said here today, and it is likely
to be effective. Much expected
in that regard from what trans
rires at the conference of the
Big Three. Should there be any
indication that Russia will enter.
the war against the. Japs, it is
believed ii will have the effect
of bringing them to the point OF
suing for peace.
1t was pointed out that the Jap
anese command must realize now
that there islpo hope of the Japs
being successful in resisting the
invasion of the homeland should
such a measure be required, and,
with Russia in the war against
them also, they would realize
that their cause is hopeless and
would sue for peace to save Jap
an from further death and de-
struction from American bombs
and shells.
The first step in the psyche
logical warfare was the dropping
of pamphlets by American flyers
while over japan, in which jap
anese people were called upon to
their military leaders
and thereby obtain peace be-
fore the utter destruction of their
country.
Those leaflets were followed
by others that explained what
would be the elements of uncon-
ditional surrender. 1t was point
ed out that the Japs could do
that with honor, ana that it
meant they would lose
their Homeland nor be enslaved.

Americans, for history has now decreed
that what affects England likewise affects
America, and vice versa
First in Importance was his warning
Of the threat that Communist Russia pre-

of countries in eastern Europe, and his
frank demand that Britain and America
hide the secret Of the atomic bomb from
Russia.
He referred specifically to Poland,
Czecho-Slovakia and Yugoslavia when
speaking of the blackout of news.
He repeated what the Hearst papers
asserted nearly three weeks ago when he
said;

DROBABLY no subject of current dis
Il cusson has so universal appeal as
the problems and possibilities of postwar
aviation.
There rests upon all in government
grave responsibility for clear thinking
and sound planning if we are TO grasp the
opportunities which wartime develop
ments in aviation present. Indeed there
must be the most intelligent cooperation
among all the branches of government and
between government and the leaders of air
commerce and industry, if the achieve
ments of the next few years are even to
approximate the hopes of our people
In saying that | do not mean to
challenge the sound forecasts that after
the war international trade and travel
will take to the air. The luxurious trans
oceanic airlners and the gigantic airports
which we envision will surely come into
being.
A IRLINES already in existence or
"A definitely planned will link closely the
political and commercial capitals of the
earth.
The oceanic steamship will be rele-
gated, like the river boat. TO the role of a
freight carrier, and the INLAND CITIES
OF AMERICA WILL COME INTO THEIR
OWN AS PORTS OF ENTRY IN WORLD
COMMERCE.
With time and distance thus con-
quered there will be an increase in inter-
national travel which will have vast
economic, cultural and political effects
1t will combat world provincialism and
promote the mutual understanding that is
our chief hope for permanent peace.
With reasonable cooperation between
nations to preserve the freedom Of the air,
the development Of world air commerce is
inevitable.
I SHOULD class as conservative the
estimate that within decade the air
line passenger business in the North
AtlantS alone will approach $4,000 900
a year, \and that the revenue from
international traffic carried in American
planes alone may equal the 1925 600 600
volume now done by all our domestic
airlines.
1t is equally certain that our domestic
airlines Will experience as rapid growth
and expansion.
