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.

Yank Landing on Iwo Jima . . ,
"We must do well to coniider the poibll(t oj the enemy landing
on out home oil." 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. It must be
also mentioned with owe that the
whole Imperial family are quite
safe." Japan Times and Adver

cannot be invaded Is a myth as
much a myth as that the Maginot
Line could not be taken-, or that
Singapore and Pearl Harbor are
Impregnable. The United States
was invaded In' 1812 and it will
be invaded again. We are fight
ing to create a New Order in
Greater East Asia, but we see no
earthly reason why we should re
strict our military activities to
this sphere. We propose to fight
this war until - our enemy is
crushed even if we have to go
half the way around the globe to
do so." Japan Times and Adver
tiser, Jan. 9, 1942.
"The present situation Is truly
grave. The Japanese' people must
full display their total strength
and thereby -destroy the evil am
bitions of the enemy nations."
Emperor Hirohlto, in Imperial
Rescript opening a special session
of the Diet,' Oct. 26, 1943.
"We must do well to consider
the possibility of the enemy land
ing on our home soil." 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.
