Japan now has several thinks coming. The pagan nation timed its assault on Pearl Harbor on the day Hitler was to enter Moscow. Since then Japan has taken Hong Kong and defenseless Manilla. That’s about all. Since then 26 nations have alligned themselves to defeat the Axis. Since then Russia has driven the Germans back hundreds of miles and Hitler is in re treat the full length of the line from the Baltic to the Black. Since December 7 Africa has been captured by the Allies, and the Dutch have sunk almost a bat tle ship a day in Malayan waters. General McAr thur has made a great record in Luzon, and Ameri can air men have taken toll of many ships from the Japs. Japan awakens to the hard facts that the Al lies outnumber the Axis in man power and resources seven to one, and the Allies are now organized in European and Asiatic councils with great directing forces. China has taken new life under the great General Waved, and in one battle has killed nearly 100,00 Japs. President and Congress have spoken with no un certain offensive terms, and the United States has arisen to wartime energy. Just what the military leaders of the Axis are thinking no one knows. They give us plenty of propoganda, hut already no one be lieves their public statements. No one doubts the great struggle we must make because of the wide spaces and great distances of the Pacific, and its numerous Asiatic islands, but we do know that if we keep going with the force and speed we developed the last 30 days there can he hut one result.
