Few Fortresses Could Cripple Japan
CHUNGKING, December 17,
The Director For Information (Shao Yu-lin) has urged immediate extensive bombing of Japan, otherwise it will be too late.
If Japan is not bombed within six months a tremendous advantage will be lost and the Pacific war will be prolonged considerably because Japan is feverishly moving her main industries to Manchuria and North China. At present about 80 per cent of Japan’s industries are centred in Tokio. Yokohama and Kobe. A few dozen Fortresses could cripple Japan and the Japanese are acutely aware of this.
