No Invasion Of Japan ?
GUAM, July 30 (Globe) - Although bombing alone could not beat Germany to her knees, there are many observers here who believe that Japan can be knocked out of the war without an invasion of Japan itself. They believe it can be done by combining the air and naval attacks that are to be doubled during the coming months. At conferences, Army and Navy leaders always add, "if invasion is necessary" to their statements about future plans. No air general has yet said this. |
