Surprise Japan in Attacks

(Special to The Statesman)
The German and Italian war declarations against the United
States have an anti-climax, propaganda flavor pending some
move to implement those pronouncements with action.

President Roosevelt wrote the
nazi-f ascist gesture off in advance
in his. fireside war report to the
nation.
The barrage of war declara
tions from Europe, which con
gress supplemented in kind in
a matter of minutes, did com
plete, however, the cycle of the
second world war, the "triple
A" war, or the axis-allies and
associates war, with one notable
exception.
Russia, Japan's arch foe in the
east, still is at peace with Japan.
No hint of the Russian role in
the Pacific conflict has come from
any authoritative source.
There is no sign of American or
British uneasiness over Russian
silence. That itself 1s significant,
It implies a definite advance un
derstanding as to concerted ac
tion under the circumstances
which have now arisen and were
clearly foreseeable
With the nazi-Russian campaign
on ice, both actually and figura
tively, Russia could prove as pi
votal a war factor in the Pacific
as she has in the European battle
zone. In Europe, she halted the
Hitler war juggernaut for the first
time. In the Pacific air blows
from Russian close-up bases could
utterly frustrate the indicated
Japanese strategic design.
It is a 600 -mile bomber hop
from Vladivostok to Tokyo. It
is 100 miles or less from the
Russian coast of the Sea of Ja
pan to Sakhalin island, chief
source of Japan's meager natu
ral oil supply. The northern
half of the Island Is Russian.
Given moderately favorable
weather, American planes could
move -in on Japan at close range
from Siberian bases if Russia
joined up' in the Pacific. The fear
that Russian bombers may let go
at any moment 'from Japanese
skies must already be haunting
Tokyo.
There is no reason for Russian
restraint over surprise attacks,
Japan struck at Port Arthur to
start the Japanese-Russian war
as she has now struck at Pearl
Harbor and Singapore, without
awaiting delivery of a declaration
of war. Tne Kussians nave not
forgotten that.
Already potential Russian in
tervention in the Pacific must
be cramping Japanese aggres
sive moves against Britain and
America. The vast north Pa
cific is full of threat for her.
Ships and planes must scout it
for possible American sea fo
rays.' Sea and air patrol of the
Sea of Japan to watch Russia Is
also reducing the naval or air
strength available to press at
tacks southward against Mala
ya and Burma and the Philip
pines. .

quickly.
Time is vital for the Japanese.
To gain it and the initiative they
risked world-wide infamy by at
tacking Pearl Harbor and Singa
pore without advance notice. Yet
Russian air bases in Siberia
hold a potential strategic veto over
Japanese dictation of the pattern
of the Pacific war, once they be
come available to the anti-axis
powers. And the axis victory -or-
death war pact makes it virtually
certain they must become avail
able to them sooner or later.
That pact goes far to explain
the Japanese plunge into the war.
Behind it, however, must lie
pledges of potent nazi action to
lessen the odds against the Pa
cific member of the triumvirate.
"It is 4 not expected that there
will' be any hesitation on the
part of either labor or industry
to accept his basic condition of
the nation's safety."
The machinery for reaching
amieable agreements, the presi
dent said, might include "ap

to some tribunal whose deci
sions will be binding by agree
ment on all parties.
He added, however, that it was
up to the conferees to decide the
form the machinery will take "so
long only as an agreement is
reached."
"Since the efficacy of that
agreement," he asserted, "will de
pend upon the voluntary coop
era tion of all concerned, empha
sis is placed on the fact that it
