One Year? Three Years? Five Years? Look at the Facts From
the Army and Navy, Then Figure it Out For Yourself
In spite of Midway, Bougainville, Tarawa, Saipan,
Leyte, Manila, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and all the other
American victories, Japan now controls an area and
population far greater than the United States, and
with many natural resources greater than ours.
Her home islands are industrialized and organ-
ized to the last rivet, the last kilowatt of power,
the last pair of human hands.
Japan can put in the field over 4,000,000 well-
trained, battle-hardened troops, many with ten years
of war behind them. This forpe is twice as large as
all the German armies which defended France, the
low, countries and the Western front of the Reich
against the combined armies of the United States,
Britian, Canada and the Free French.
Back of these soldiers are more than 70 million
civilians on the Jap home front, firmly indoctrinated
in emperor worship—every man, woman and child
ready and eager to tie for the man they believe is
a god.
Japan is fighting on “interior" lines. It’s true
that its fleet is now much smaller than ours. But
never forget that the U. S. Navy HAS A MUCH
BIGGER JOB TO DO.
The Japs have stated, and no thinking man or
woman doubts it, that they are prepared to sacrifice
10,000,000 men to hold their empire. To the Japan-
ese, life 4s cheap. The emperor and the state mean
everything—the individual, nothing.
If the war were to end tomorrow, Japan would
^ have put the seal on a conquest greater than Napol-
eon’s. —m—
“But," you say, “the war with Japan won’t end
tomorrow."---—
Well, what about it? Will it end “tomorrow," or
next month or next year, for you?
Are you planning to quit your job, stop your
blood donations, slacken your bond buying, use
black market gas, have more fun, ease up generally?
Before you do, remember that many a gallant
American boy, now vibrant with the breath of life,
will die at the hands of the Japs.
