Japan and to free Japan's frozen

that Japan 'withdraw her f.t.rees

it be that they are using 11 115)0
element of destruction?
Japan's strategy is apparent; to
knosk out as much of the Allied
fleet and air force go poadble in
the first swift blows; to disrupt
American trans-Pacilic air commu-
nizations by seizing Midway, Wake
and Gnaw, whose defenses have
not been cemplittod; to divert Brit-
ish and American naval power to
the Pacific, thus leaving the At-
lantic lanes freer fer Hitler's sub-
marine attacks on British shipping.
In the presence of our allies, con-
tinues the Times, we shall find the
key to the strategy of the Pacific.
Because these allies ring Japan,
because they create a nativel and
inexorable blockade of an Island
empire which is heavily dependent
upon supplies from overseas, it is
reasonable to hope and to believe
that we can plan a strategy of war
in the Far East which will take
account of the still impe.rative nea
assity of maintaining an uninter.
raided flow of strength to the main
battlefront in Europe.
But this double task will test
our powers to the very limit. Noth-
ing could be more dangerous than
e complacent assumption that a
*victory will be easy. The factor of
distance alone enormously in:
creases the difficulty of American
operations, There will come dark
days and bitter disappoinInients
and a need to prove that we too
have the stamina to make our way
through blood and toll and sweat
and tears. But we, have a cause
whicic shines with flaming justice.
We have friends beside us. We
have incomparably the greatest
resources of any nation In the
'World. We have a united people.
We have brave men ready far the
