Japan Can Now Think Thrice.
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.
