PUBLIC REALISTIC IN ANALYZING JAPS

Examination of Previous Poll Results Shows Voters Wanted a Stronger U. S. Policy at Least

Two Years Ago.

By GEORGE GALLUP Director, American Institute of Public Opinion.

PRINCETON, N.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12 (U. P). —Regardless of the exceedingly serious losses sustained’ by the fleet in the surprise Japanese atattack on Pearl Harbor, the general plan for naval victory in the Pacific can and will be carried out, according to Rep. Melvin I. Maas (R. Minn.)

expected to be called to active duty point is sometimes made that

public opinion is of less importance than in matters of

domestic concern, because the

public is not familiar with all the facts behind diplomatic moves. Now that war has finally come, it is possible to evaluate objectively the views of the common people | regarding Japan, as revealed ip some 40 surveys by the American Institute of Public Opinion over the last six years. Such an analysis Indicates that the public has consistently during the past two years favored stronger measures against Japan than any put into effect previous to the summer of 1941. In the summer of 1939—after the Chinese-Japanese war had been in progress two years, but before the general war broke out in Europe— an overwhelming majority of voters, 82 per cent, were in favor of a strict embargo on the shipment of war materials to Japan.

Favored Embargo

Ry October, 1940, the embargo gentiment had increased to 90 per cent. It was not until 10 months later that the United . States Government froze Japanese credits and put a strict embargo into effect.

Moreover, ever since July of this year a majority of voters have been in favor of taking definite steps to curb Japanese expansion even if it meant risking war. This sentiment increased sharply when the Japanese invaded IndoChins in July. From that moment Institute surveys found two-thirds or more of the American people willing to tske the risk of war in order to stop Japan from becoming more powerful. The week before war broke out, the vote stood at 69 per cent in favor of curbing the Japanese at the risk of war, 20 per cent opposed and 11 per t undecided. The public's desire for stiffer

From this early attitude of indifference the country was soon jolted by a sequence of events | which brought the Japanese threat closer to American interests.

Nipponhese forces moved deeper | into China, bombed the United States gunboat Panay, signed a pact with the Axis powers, moved nearer the Philippines, threatening the great rubber, oil and mineral resources of the South Pacific, and finally invaded French Indo-China. Felt Clash Certain In less than two years from the outbreak of the Chinese-Japanese war a substantial majority of Amsarfcans came to favor a boycott cf Japanese goods, and in addition, a strict embargo on war shipments to Japan. Although the particular time and

place of the outbreak of hostilities{}

came as a surprise, war with Japan was not unexpected by the public. Only last week the Institute completed a survey which showed that among persons who had given any thought of war, a substantial majority felt that some clash was inevitable in the near future.

Cites Japan's Weakness

Here are his views of the general Pacific situation: “It has long been recognized that if the United States were obliged (to go to war with Japan the basic | tactic would be economic pressure, long-range blockade and constant destruction of Japanese shipping.

“The process of reduction would be hastened by persistent incendiary bombing of the Japanese islands. “It is generally believed that fire control in most Japanese cities and

industrial centers will be impossible

U. S. More Able to Expand

“It may take several years to rebuild the fleet to its full strength but we are capabie of doing it and we are far more capable of expanding than the Japs are. The losses are serious but by no means fatal. “We have the resources. Japan is dependent on shipping for her raw materials. “It is true that the Sunday attack
