THE TIDES OF WAR X 1 pEHHAPS no war In history has , ever started with greater mis conceptions on both sides about the nature and strength of the Hfi enemy than the war In the Pacillc But no war in history has ever ion seen greater changes in the bal- ck once of power, and in strategy pic and tactics. These changes clinch igc victory for tho United Nations and it seal the doom of Japan. c Just before the war, Japan was se ntlll regarded in the West us a rth second-class Oriental power d i which had already exhausted her Tj self in four years of fruitless war ie in China. C The picture collapsed com lU pletely when the war began. xu Jupan proved herself to be a .' powerful and well-prepared en ipi emy to whom tho Chinese war it had been an excellent training r period. The Japanese Navy and 01 Air f orce aominaiea we wwicm ri Pacific. The very onxiuty of the ill Allies to avoid war as long as M possible by leaving the Inltia- n tive to Japan contributed to this result. But tne nci cueci was a sweep of Japanese power through Asia and Oceania unparalleled since the days of Genghis Khan. Today Japanese olr and naval power Is being swept from the Pacific and tne stage is uemg iaio for Japan's final defeat. Military Power Still Intact Yet the major part of that job still remains to be done. For that tnb ennnot be completed until "j Japan's military power has been " crushed as well. That power has J been scarcely touched so for, and, i to paraphrase a Japanese spokes J man, tho historic destiny which J approaches us is to fight across j China, Manchuria, and Korea to J the Tsushima Straits, and then to launch across them an amphibious ! Invasion of Jnpun surpassing' in strength evenho invnslon of Nor I mandy. t'TAPAN chose Dec. 8 because It J had to go to wiir on account of the oil situation and because, had Japan failed to avail herself of this date, she would have had to wait anrther month because of the moon and tldnl effects. January and February In Malaya are the so-called monsoon season, and the landing operation would have been extremely dlfllcult, while there were still other adverse con ditions after March. Viewed from various angles, therefore, Dec. 8 was the unique opportunity and hence the declaration of war." Maj.-Gcn. Kenryo Sato, Chief of the Military AfTtiirs Section of the War Ministry, in speech Murch 10, 1942. "The Roberts report said that U. S. Judge HORIZONTAL 1.7 Pictured U. S.

Premier Koito, September, 1941. at 0:20 a. m., on Dec. 7, a sus picious object was sighted in the prohibited area of Pearl Harbor by the United States armed serv ices. Between 8:32 and 6:49 a. m this' object, which was a small submarine, was attacked and sunk by the concerted action of a naval patrol plane and a United States ship of war. Such facts, presented in an official United States docu mvnt, cannot leave the slightest doubt as to who fired the first shot." Tokyo Radio, Dee. 6, 1B42 "Nothing could be more ridicu lous and laughable than the fact that the American Fleet was ig norant of the Nippon Navy's training maneuvers In the Pacific, that It neglected Die important duty of naval and air patrol when the Nippon-American relations were in so high a state of tension, and that It was thereby forced to accept the tragic annihilation of its Pacific ormadu. This disgrace sustained by the United States Novy will fur long be remembered by the world." The New Order in Greater East Asia (Japanese magazine), April, 11142. Jap Comment on Doollltle Raid Invading planes dropped In cendiary bombs and stinted fires in several places, but fire fighters made short work of extinguishing them. In aerial dog fights, enemy planes were shot down. This was the first air raid in the history of Tokyo. The raid was wh611y unethical and Illegal.

Premier Kunloki Koiso, in speech to Diet, Sept. 8, 1944. "One thing Is now clear: Amer ica has lost the war. Japanese forces hove now complete air and sea superiority on and around Leytc, and powerful additional Japanese forces ore moving up for the attack. All the Japanese have to do in future operations Is to project their indomitable spirits at the enemy and they will suffer internal fear that will de feot them before they get into the fight. The Occidental mind, of course, will not understand the great Oriental power." Tokyo Radio, Oct. 20, 1944.
