JAPAN TOLD TO j LOOK FOR 1 BOMB ATTACKS The Japanese, despite victories to date, are told by officials to prepare for bombing attacks, to expect a long war and not to underestimate un-derestimate the fighting power of England and the United States. Recently, a spokesman for the Japanese Imperial Headquarters called upon the Japanese people to stand firm and while predicting American counter-attacks against I Japan, sought comfort in the declaration dec-laration that the other Axis powers, pow-ers, Germany and Italy, were now . fully prepared to make powerful i offensive drives against the United States and Great Britian. I There seems to be a prevalent tendency on the part of Axis officials of-ficials to seek comfort by bragging about the accomplishments of their partners in crime. Japan regards Hitler's "victories" in Russia with delight and Hitler and Mussolini are not without pride in what they call Japan's victorious feats in the South Pacific. The psychological trait may be significant. Certainly, Japan is aware that the war is just getting get-ting underway and Germany knows that victory is not in sight. It is natural for the leaders of these nations, somewhat worried about the outcome of their struggle, strug-gle, o strengthen their people for bad news to come by over-emphasizing the successes of their allies. The news which comes from Italy is meager and Benito Mussolini Muss-olini is rarely heard from. In fact, Italy seems to be the forgotten nation of this war, contemptuously controlled by Hitler and insult-ingly insult-ingly overlooked by her enemies. |
