Sultan Says Japs
Not Ready to Bow
Out of This War
DENVER, July 28 (UP) Feel- j
ing in this country the Japs are
ready to bow out of the war was
termed "most unfortunate" to
day by Lt. Gen. Daniel I. Sultan,
newly-appointed inspector gen
eral of the army.
Gen. Sultan, just back from the
Burma-India theater where he
was in command for eight
months, said that he was con
vinced the war would last at
least another year, "but I hope
not two years."
His exprience with the Nippon
ese soldier in action, he said, had
convinced him "as a race they
are not going to quit until they're
thoroughly licked."
He classed as one of the phe
nomena of the war the fact each
Jap captured believes he is the
first to have been taken prison
r. "You have to show him other
Japs to convince him," Sultan
said.
Reviewing his command in the
Burma-India theater, Sultan said
the American mission there has
been completed. Communica
tions have been opened, he add
ed, and supplies for the Chinese
will be shipped through there un
til a coast port is made available.
