CHANGED STRATEGY
CHINA MAY BE BY-PASSED
(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright.)
NEW YORK, December 6. The Allies, will strike directly at Japan without landing in China, says Hanson Baldwin, military editor of the "New York Times." He adds: "Apparently the Allies are by-passing China and substituting an amphibious strategy for continental strategy. Such a direct route promises a more rapid decision than could be gained by a prior landing in China." Admiral E. J. King, commander-in-chief of the United States Navy, in an article in the "Army and Navy Journal," says: "The ■ correct formula for success in the war against the Japanese homeland is timing co-ordin-ated with striking power. ' "This war has gone increasingly well lately. Our submarines and planes are cutting deeply into' vital Japanese shipping and our fleets are moving in the central Pacific unchallenged. Japan's capacity to maintain the war at sea from her advanced areas has suffered progressively. The picture must appear threatening to Japan."
Admiral King said that new weapons and secret methods were aiding the Allies but were sure to be met by counter-measures.
