JAPAN IS AN ARCH

‘lf you pound the top of an arch it will take a lot of pounding before it breaks. But undermine its ends and its collapses automatically. "The analogy may help to explain Japan’s present position. From Burma, through the islands to the north-east of Australia, she possesses an ideal arch of defence. It would obviously be useless to attack her in Java or the Philippines, far as they are from Allied bases. But the 2 ends of the arch are a different matter, and Japan has good cause to be worried about the lower end.”— (O. M. Green in London "Observer.”)
