Japs Outnumbered

The Japanese fleet is outnumbered and -outgunned. Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, commander in the Central Pacific, has observed that he expects “at some point in four “advance “across “the Pacific the Japanese may accept engagement.” That is most likely to be much closer to Japan than Truk. Should the Japanese risk a Jutland, it might be the beginning of the end for them. Even if they came out of it as well as the Germans did in the historic naval battle of the last war, they would have lost the whole Pacific if obliged to go into hiding in home waters. .

Senator Ball stressed his support of the policy of allowing all peoples in the subjugated countries to choose their own form of government. : He predicted that the Republican party would elect a president next year but that the Democrats would retain control of the senate. s “Which ever party wins the presifdency,”™. he ‘said; “will Hkely be up. against it with the Democrats controlling the senate and the Republicans, the house. “There will have to be a lot of teamwork in the post-war period which likely will’ be more critical from many standpoints than the war era.” } .

Tokyo radio had acknowledged the size of thé raid yesterday by reporting 100 planes made the attack, claiming 20 were shot down, and that some damage was caused. Tokyo set the time of the raid as Sunday—a confusion which might indicate a second raid but which probably was a translation of their report from western to eastern longitude date. . .
