WAR AGAINST JAPAN
NEW SENSE OF IMPORTANCE New York, June 25. There is a new sense in high Allied quarters about the importance of the Japanese war, says Joseph Harsh writing in the “Christian Scinece Monitor.” This change has come partly from the basic transformation of the European situation and partly from the growing feeling of danger of letting Japan go unchallenged too long. Out of this combination has emerged a strategic plan for the far East which does not challenge priority of Germany as an enemy to be first defeated but which elevates Japan almost to a parity with Germany as an enemy which we must vigorously challenge at an early date. Harsch says it is now possible to approach the Japanese problem with weapons which either are now available or will become available within the next six months. What is coming may still be long delayed but it is definitely no longer a picture of merely holding the front from Attu around the long Pacific arc to India.—P.A.
