JAPANESE HOPES Returning from the of Tarawa, Brig. Merritt A. Edson of the United States Marines conquest Gen, reveals idea underlying the whole Pacific The the fundamental war plan in the anese defensive strategy, donment of the more ambitious attempts to invade Australia, India United States based on the hope that America will stop fighting be- fore attaining complete victory. For that reason, he xpl: Japan is prepared to suffer heavy losses, such as she suffered on Tarawa, in order to make .very advance of our forces as costly as possible and thereby discourage us. General Edson’s ning is in line with the views of the most careful students of Japanese policy, in- cluding those of former Ambassador Joseph C. Grew, who has repeatedly warned against a Japanese peace offer similar to those repeatedly launched by Hitler. t was originally part of the Japanese credo, as of Hitler's, that the democracies in general and America in partitcular were weak and decadent, because of thi individualism, liberalism, utilitarianism and materialism” and therefore no match for the inte- grated, regimented and indoctrined national munity of Nazi Germany andd Shinto Japan. Japan thinking not in terms of today or of her long historic tradition, felt herself safe going to war.

The Allied victories from Midway to Arawe may have changed her mind regarding democratic decad- ence, but, as General Edson points out, they have not changed her strategy, nor her long-range plans. The answer to them has already been delivered in the Cairo Declaration, which pledged the Allied Nations to strip her of all her conquests and to punish and restrain her aggression. In addition, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek has declared that the Allies have pledged themselves to wipe out all Japanese militarists and to “purge the Japanese political system of every vestige of aggressive elements,” with a virtual invita- tion to the Japanese people to revolt and choose a a new form of government These pledges are in line with the hopes of what- ever Japanse liberals have survived the many purges; for they know that only a complete political, social and religious revolution can redeem their country. They are also in line with the sentiments of the great majority of American people; for every test of public opinion shows a growing bitterness against Japan. They are not in line, however, with the sentiments | of a few intellectuals who have thus far refused to face the probleg of Japanese idealogy; nor are they in line with the appeasement sentiment proceeding from certain individuals who hope to return to their former fleshpots in the East. It is to these elements, pre- sumably, that Gen Edson has addressed hl\i warning al The Production Line (Cincinnati Enquirer) They said we never could build efficient air planes on a production-line basis.

Surprise difficulties within the nation are forecast. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Purveyors‘ of food will be handicapped by ser- | jous shortages. Dairy products wul‘; continue scarce and - citrus fruits costly. Aid to starving war victims | may be inadequate.

Aud‘ it was done on the production-line basis. \ Back in 1940 it took. let us say, 100 men to build | a fast interceptor plane. Today, with five men, we;’ build a faster interceptor. For each 100 men required in the construction of an attack bomber back in 1940 the aviation industry today uses nine men -and turns out a speedier, more efficient plane. Our plants use only 10 men now for 100 formerly employed in the | production of medium bombers—and here again the finished product is better suited to the ever-new uses of battle In leading airplane manufacturing companies out, put has increased 4,260 per cent since 1940, but pe: sonnel has increased only 933 per cent. In 1941 after the program really got rolling—the plants in- creased production by 41 per cent, with an increase | of only 5.8 per cent in personnel. This amazing feat was accomplished in spite of many difficulties. There were shortages of equip- ment, of material, of man power. There were thou- sands of intricate preduction problems which had to ‘bc worked out; there weres#engineering explorations which had to be carried on to the last detail. How | these obstacles were overcome, and how the world's best fighting ships were placed on the production line is one of the greatest romances of the war.
