It was the Jap . . . who treacherously attacked us at Pearl Harbor while his emissaries bowed and smirked in our nation's capital with pro fessed offers of friendship. It was who boasted that he the Jap would sign the final peace in Washington. It was the Jap . . . who drove our valiant defenders of the Philippines on the death march down the roads of Bataan. who tortured It was the Jap and executed our flyers in violation of every rule of civilized warfare. is now beBut the Jap ginning to collect on the debt. we owe him.

The Jap already has begun to feel the weight of our blows . . . but these are only preliminary to what we have in store for him. His fanatical armies are being driven back from their stolen empire mile by mile. His homeland . . . heretofore virtually untouched by the is being shaken ravages of war by the earthquakes of our bombs. Panic creeps into his boastful radio broadcasts. Victories are fabricated out of whole cloth to feed his uneasy people. These are promising signs. But into . . we must not be deluded believing that Japan has begun to crack . . . that this war will be won easily. The roads to the Eu ropean fronts were long and tor turous . . . but distances in tne Pacific by comparison . . . are prodigious. In England and in Italy our bases were only a lew hundred miles from the nazi reich but in the Pacific we must cover thousands of miles to reach the Jap homeland.
