A one-way look at the map showed these bases were only 600 to 1,000 miles from, Tokyo, which would have been fine if it had been the full story. But it wasn’t. Because some of Japan’s strongest air bases are only 100 miles from these same Soviet bases! Viadi- vostok, for example, was not only subject to terrific mass attacks from nearby Jap- anese air fields in Korea and Manchuria, but could have been isolated, and perhaps eventually captured, by a Japanese- land march of less than 150 miles. The fact that our use of Russian bases against Japan would have inevitably opened a new sfighti' » Htadreds of miles in_lengt! d sources of EYP PRE c0 ar Japan’s, is thi ygree fav ot Russia’s ‘past pf . Oursm ary: trom the out- Set of the war was to defeat.Germany first, yhich meant bringing every possible ounce Allied strength—British, American and Russian—to bear in Europe first, It meant concentrating our strength on as few fronts | as possible, so that our forces would not be dissipated and ineffectual everywhere. | And it is inconceivable that the war with Germany would be over today if we | had opened a new front against Japan in Siberia. Millions of additional troops would | have been required merely to hold that ; front. Supplying them would have been an almost impossible undertaking when the Allied supply problem on all fronts was desperate. And we would have been de- | privalliof these mén and weapons in Europe whén they were needed to turn the tide against Germany. , F i By. waging: merely a war of nerves against Japan, Russia has accomplished 5 one -\for the Allies all that could have been ac- complished under the circumstances. By never making it clear whether she intend- ‘ed to move against Japan before Germany feat, Russia forced Japan to concentrate Hions of her hést troops along the Si- berian frontier where they were unable to interfere with our 6,000-mile march back across the Pacific. These Japanese armies still are intact, but with or without Russia, with a mighty club in each hand. It is paradise to believe in it. selfish without half People be trying. ean ber a $2,500 tax-free ex} item.
