Japanese ships are thus subject to attack and the sea routes must be kept open or the conquests of the Bouth Pacific will be worthless Moreover, The vast result of Japan's steel capacity will not support a prolonged war with this country. Her machine-tool industry ia practically nil. Her merchant shipping is being depleted faster than it can be rebuilt. Her Navy has suffered greater losses in cruisers. destroy. ers and aireraft carriers than we have and midget submarines have proved worthless The Japanese have waged their campaign on the accumulated reserves of the vears preceding the at. tack upon Pear!

The captain paid his respects to the Kaiser piar. to build cargo planes, asserting that ‘you can’t build enough planes to replace the ships on the high seas” and that if the aircraft industry had the ma- terials it could increase output fifty per cent. The only antidote to the submarine menace, he says, is sub chasers and destroyers, Moreover, as to cargo planes, “we would require harbor space for the proposed 5000 cargo planes and there isn't enough harbor space available” In addition. “fuel on long alr trips consumes so much space that the pay load is lost” HALF MILLION MEN OVERSEAS The number of American soldiers on duty "out- side the United States” is a secret but Assistant Secretary of War John J, McCloy says that already more than half a million Americans are overseas, This is the first official statement that we have seen that attempted such an estimate and the speak- er declares that no shorteuts to victory will be found but that we must rely upon ground troops to win the war, Mr. McCloy assures his listeners that the United States will make a full test of a “good fling at bring- ing Germany to her knees by concentrated use of air power” but he does not expect the war to be ena. ed by mass aerial asswults, however damaging they may. prove 0 German industry, EN THAT ERNOL-—— HE IS MORE INT'RESTED IN HIS BoOwS THAN IM Us’ Enusreo in The AR@ars wm 1936 stuf scouca eeo WYNKOOP.
