Kawakami, seven years a correspondent of the official Japanese news agency Domei, herewith predicts that if Japan fails to succeed in her present desperate efforts to knock out the Philippines, Sing a* pore and Hongkong, she will be gin to crack up under the strain of war within a year. Kawakami, an American-born Japanese and a full-fledged United States citizen, resigned his post in Washington as Do mei correspondent immediately after Japan's stab-in-the-back surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, which he denounced in a public statement released by the United States State Department as “the blackest and most shameful page in Japanese history ." Kawa kami, who was educated at Har vard University, has announced he will volunteer his services to the United States Army to do his bit toward “crushing for ever" Japan's “militarist rule. m By ( LARK H. KAWAKAMI fonnM rorfftpondml as Domtl, Official Japan?** N»w» %*?«*«** (Written Eipr*Mly tor Int’l N»wi S*r*tr*y WASHINGTON. Dec. 19.—1 f Japan ‘succeeds in knocking out Singapore, Hongkong and the Philippines, at the same time gain* mg control of the vital raw ma terials of Malaya and possibly the Indies in addition to cutting oft aid to China, it will require not one but several years of hard, costly fighting to defeat her. If Japan does not succeed and is forced to continue the present heavy drain on her war reserve* without replenishment, while her people suffer increased hardship* and the demoralizing effect of aerial bombings, there is reason to hope that Japan will crack within a year, perhaps a little longer. SEES THEORY WTtONG But let us not make the grievous mistake of believing, as some newspaper columnists have told us in the past, that the American fleet could sail out. whip Japan into surrender and be back at Pearl Harbor in six weeks. That is the kind of error which, fortunately for the democratic cause. Hitler has made in Russia. Eleven dayv have now elapsed since the fateful Sunday on which Japan launched her well-nigh un believable attacks upon British and American strongholds through out the Pacific. Reprehensible as those attacks were, and grievous as wen' the losses which the ele ment of surprise enabled Japan to inflict, they have had two very wholesome effects in the United States w’hich can only serve to strengthen this country’s war ef fort and contribute toward ulti» mate victory. SAYS IT ISN’T EASY These effects are, firstly, the forging of American opinion into one unified whole in support of prosecuting the war against world Nazism to a victorious conclusion; and, secondly, the elimination of the all-too-current and highly dan gerous assumption that Japan is a foe that can be easily disposed of within the space of a few months. The overnight solidification of American opinion and the tre mendous effect it is already having in eliminating political obstruction and speeding up war efforts in every field are so clear as to caU for little comment. Why, then, did Japan not con tent herself with another piece meal move into Thailand? Such a step would undoubtedly have started the hall rolling toward war. hut reasonable doubt exists that it would have precipitated immediate shooting hostilities. HE SEES ANSWER The answer, I believe, lies In a combination of German pressure and strategic economic considera tions. Germany, stalled in Russia* was pressuring Tokio as never be fore to plunge into the war to prevent the balance from tipping in favor of the Anglo-American coalition. With the Japanese - American peace talks deadlocked, the Ger mans found in Premier Tojo a ready listener, and it now' seems clear that Japan* fatal decision was reached soon after Tojo took office in October. For the Germans, a half-hearted Japanese move into Thailand would have meant little relief, so they urged Japan to go the whole hog. And on Japan's side, tooy there must have been the cal culation that, it war with th# United States was hound to com# eventually, it was better tor Japan to fight \BCD "■onomic pressure snapped ’he sinews of her fighting strength.
