DARK DAYS AHEAD
Warnings against over optimism, from high military
and naval sources, have been intensified of late. They do
not seem to have much influence upon the lay public,
but they should. The generals and the admirals are not
building up alibis for themselves, nor do they enjoy be
ing Cassandras. They are doing what most insiders
think is only their solemn duty.
Fortunately, the brass hats are permitted to be a bit
more specific now than formerly. They do not have to
stop with pointing out the number of statute miles that
separate our advance troops from Tokyo and Berlin, but
are allowed to give us some idea of the perils that pock
mark those statute miles.
Hitler has replaced and equipped the 20 divisions lost
at Stalingrad. The Nazi army is bigger than ever. The
Luftwaffe is stronger than it was in 1939. The number
of workers in German factories has risen by 12 millons,
or slightly more than 50 per cent.
* * *
Sixty-ton Tiger tanks are appearing in ever-increas
ing numbers against both Anglo-Americans and Rus
sians. They aren’t the invincible weapons the Nazis ex
pected or our laymen feared, but neither can we scoff
at them. The Germans have a new rocket gun that is
giving us plenty of trouble. The rocket bombs are go
ing to require our vaunted ingenuity to offset.
The German food ration is better now than at the out
break of the war.
In the Far West we are 3,000 miles from Tokyo and
have not yet reached the real strongholds of Japanese
resistance.
* * *
The Japanese still have some 2,000,000 men of mili
tary age whom they have felt no need to call up, and as
many more in the 17 to 20 age group available when
needed. Their air strength is increasing both numeri
cally and qualitatively. Pilot training has been step
ped up. They are developing the economic and military
resources they took from us, the British and the Dutch
in 1942.
Are these just the nightmares of an armchair strat
egist, Not at all. They are facts collected by Allied mili
tary and naval intelligence, made public by the chief of
American Military Intelligence, Maj. Gen. George V.
Strong.
Some of the things he didn’t tell the public made
strong men go home and toss in their beds.
Don’t fall for this war-over-before-Christmas talk.
It’s the mullarkey.
