Do Not Forget That It Is A Long, Long War
The War Production Board has urged the conser
vation of power and the uses of water on the Pacific
Coast for war purposes when activities of the war
are transferred to this coast. From frequent reports
by radio and in newspapers, this western coast will
become the center of activities as soon as the Europ
ean struggle is over and the attention of the allies
will be devoted to the defeat of Japan. The greater
movements on the Atlantic seaboard will be added
to the present activities on the Pacific seaboard and
then we will begin to know what real war movements
are. All our war plants and bases will be filled to
capacity and transportation lines of all kinds will be
loaded to the limits—railroads, trucks and planes—
and ports will be crowded with ships.
The claim that Japan would soon be defeated af
ter the European struggle was settled is no longer
maintained by war leaders. While the war in the
northern, central and south Pacific has been success
ful and we are making great progress, the great
mainland of eastern Asia has been strengthened by
the Nipponese from Japan to Singapore.
By the enslavement of millions of peoples and the
aid of the great resources of those lands and islands,
the Japanese have built up great defenses. Partic
ularly in Japan, Northern China, Manchuria and in
Korea they have tremendous batteries and anti-air
craft equipment, and have even prepared bomb proof
shelters for vast numbers of their own population
outside the limits of their industrial centers. For two
years they have been shipping in supplies of food
and war materials to this northern last stand, which
they hope to become impregnable. Their defenses
in the island regions are sufficient to prevent us from
their main effort and they are avoiding a fatal con
flict with our Navy—and fighting to the death of the
last man.
These facts are becoming more and more appar
ent from all information that can be gathered :
We led ourselves to believe that Europe would be
finished by last Christmas. Now we are hoping that
Germany will be conquered by summer or at least
by next fall. We have thirteen million men in arms
and have created a great war machine and yet the
call is for more and more. We can now scarcely hope
for less than two years more to destroy the powerful
military power and war machine of Japan. We Am
ericans cannot relax our efforts for a day or season
or year or more. We have a big job to do. Here in
the west we will know more of war than we ever
dreamed of before the final unconditional surrender
of both Germany and Japan and the peace is estab
lished.
