to
think
that
there
was

possibility
of
Japan
cracking

quitting
at

not
for
a
long
time.
As
a
result
of
her
con
quests
in
eight
months
follow
ing
Pearl
Harbor,
the
Japanese
Empire
was
never
wealthier
or
better
fed
than
it
was
today.
Even
If
every
city
in
Japan
proper
was
destroyed,
Japan
would
not
necessarily
be
defeated
for
she
had
already
prepared

her

If
necessary,
to
Manchukuo
where
enormous

and

of
all
kinds
were
in

The
end
of
the

In
the
Orient,
Dr.
Brace
forecast,
would
be
In
the
Interior
of
China
or
Manchuria
and
there
would
be
many
tough
battles.
He
predicted
that,
unless
the
realistic
Stalin
came
in
to
help
the
Allies,
it
would
take
at
least
two
years
to
defeat
Japan
and,
before
she
was
stripped
of
her
Ill-gotten
gains,
many
of
"our"
men
would
die.
Once
Hitler
was
beaten
and
the
Allied
fleets,
air
forces
and
men
got
together
In
the

things
would
really
begin

r'lt

hear
people
say
that,
after
Hitler
folds
up,
It
will
be
only
a
few
weeks
before
the
Japanese
will
be
disposed
of."
Dr.
Brace

strategy
In

which
would
lead
to
the
final
defeat
