You may wonder, then, what the Japanese Army’s problems would be] like if ever its commanders risked using Thailand as a base either | against Singapore or against | Burma, with ifs vast rice produc- |

its lifeline road into China. In such an event Japan's militarists would be taking probably the most colossal and fateful gamble

in their nation’s history: ; i

1. Because air or sea operations against Singapore could not fail to) be exceedingly costly—perhaps fatally so—for Japan. 2. Because Burma's 600-mile frontier with Thailand is protected almost throughout by a great mountain - range while the deep gorges of the mighty Mekong River cleave the much shorter Burmese-

Indo-Chinese border. Things Have Changed

From Chiengmal in northwestern Thailand and from other western points Japanese airplanes could operate against Burma's main railroad and highways, along the A Irrawaddy valley. But Japan could not do this without bringing Britain into the § war against her, and her airmen would have to taste the bite of crack Australian and British airmen in fast fighter planes. Things have changed very greatly in this part of the world since a year ago—a fact which undoubtedly exercises a restraining influence upon Tokyo. Operating by land from Thailand there are only two or three points at which the Jabanese could attack Burma. Hard to Attack Burma The only motor road runs from Mesai in northern Thailand, near] the border, over terrific mountain ranges to Keng Tung in the southern Shan states. This road could] easily be destroyed or blocked by! Burma's defenders. i Further south another and more |} accessible road runs from Mya § Waddy on the Thailand frontier |{ Ie some 40 miles or more cross the SS Moulmein on the coast, This con-|:¥ ceivably might tempt the Japanese, |§ but defensive forces could be con- |g centrated in such a narrow strip of |§ terrain as exists there.
