Trend of War
Even with the advance of German troops into the
Caucasus, the trend of events lately have not been of
such decisive nature as to greatly affect the long-range
outlook. There are two observations that appear rea
sonable as one reviews the conflict from its beginning.
The first obviously, must acknowledge the enormous
territorial gains made by Germany and Japan, the
continued power of Axis forces and the necessity of
hard battle before they are subdued. The second, re
lates to the tremendous strides that have been made
by the United Nations to equal the preparedness of the
Axis powers for war. That this progress has been ac
complished under time pressure and in the midst of
desperate circumstance and dangers makes it the more
potent.
When the war began the question was whether the
democratic nations could survive the overwhelming
forces launched against them. Today, the question is
whether the Axis nations can win before the United
Nations can bring to bear their full resources. The
difference in the war situation is tremendous.
Air raids upon western Germany, have been en
couraging. Against this record, one must place the
continuing pressure of Japanese armies upon China,
the possession of great captured resources in the South
Pacific by the Nipponese, the punishing U-boat cam
paign off the Aleutian coast and the difficulties that
confront the United Nations in waging wars along
fronts many miles away from production centers.
The major sea battles in the Pacific have encourag
ed Americans but, successful as they were, they do
not indicate that Japan has reached the end of her
offensive power. Losses to the Japanese fleet and air
arms have been serious but, backed by numerous island
bases, the Nipponese occupy a favorable defensive po
sition. which will yield only to great offensive strength.
BOMBING JAPAN FROM CHINA
The Japanese manufacturing center of Nagasaki is only a 3
hour flight from Chekiang, where the Chinese have built an air
bs«M Major Gene ral Chu Shih-ming. Chinese military attache to
the United States, declared in a statement recently. He begs the
United Nations to act quickly to strike at Japan from Chinese
bases now threatened by Japanese advances.
Certainly, the people of the United States would be thrilled
beyond measure by the news that important numbers of bombing
planes had been located in China and were undertaking the rou
tine bombing of Japanese manufacturing centers.
However, impatient Americans, who probably have no idea of
the difficulties involved, can take it easy. It may be assumed that
some Mich plan is under development and that eventually Ameri
can bombers will duplicate the feat of General Doolittle and his
volunteer band of airmen.
