High Command Agrees War Can't End Without Invasion.

By LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press War Analyst Military ‘authorities are generally agreed that the war against Japan will not be ended without Invasion of the home islands. On that basis, invasion may be expected to be the next major step. This may come within a short time, because American military policy is based “on ending" the war as quickly as possible. Japanese surrender is scarcely expected to result from the aerial

offensive, devastating though it is.

Most certainly -it will not result

hard fighting is not in prospect outside Japan. The war henceforth is divided geographically into three distinct theaters ~the main Japanese islands; China, Manchuria and Korea; southeastern Asia and the’ Dutch Indies. “There is a fourth area comprising the central and southwestern :Pacific islands where Japanese are still holding out, but that is a
