Jap Propaganda I OffemeiSeen
Probable Soon -or Stalemate
. " By MAX IfflX ; M - " ". 1
' NEW YORK, April l-H-Many, who know what goes on the
Pacific today are -expressing a deep-seated j fear ; that - Japan is
planning new treachery, this thne on the propaganda; : front r
:. Having overrun a rich area which she now heeds Sto develop,
Japan .would like a few yean of
peace, to prepare for extension of
her: "prosperity, sphere" ; to more
of the world. A stalemate in the
.war, or a deal whereby she might
even return the Philippines -(subject
to later recapture, of course)
.would fit , Nippon's long-range
plans nicely, these observers say.
Prior to Pearl Harbor the
Japanese nude no bones about It
they would snake the fighting '
so costly ajid the reward for a
' counter-offensive so small that
an otherwise Impotent -minority
. of appealers In the United States
might be' able te f oree a deal.
: Joseph C. Grew, our former
embassador in Tokyo, has hinted
at this Japanese program; others
who have come back from the
Facificfront have voiced the same
concern.
From AP Correspondent Clark
Lee's . new book, "They Call it
Pacific, the following brief quote
indicates what may well be the of
ficial philosophy of the Japanese
navy. 1
Admiral Kanazawa said to Lee,
who was on the battlefront be
fore and after the .outbreak of
war:
"We will fight inch by inch. We
will fight to the last man. We
will make the cost in blood, ships
and planes so frighteningly great
that, we believe, America will
eventually become discouraged.
"The American people will say
. : . . - -i : I - - . i " ?l
that, after all, the. orient Is a long
way off and; perhaps Japan is the
logical nation to govern it Then
ourwar wil be won." ' j
. This conversation took place, in
Shanghai months before Pearl
Harbor. Many Japanese in high
places told me, Virtually the same
thing in Tokyo. j i . :
For nine months before Pearl
Harbor the Japanese govern
ment tried to convince us that tt
had the military under control.
The effect was merely, to keep
relations en a negotiable basis
nntil the military could strike.
i i i 1
; Such strategy is not; impossible
again, through use of a so-called
businessman cabinet in Japan. The
logical time for such a develop
ment would be after the collapse
ox Hitler s Juiropean empire.
