A Toa TO AMER These gentlemen of Japan are drinking to us. They are raising their cups in the hope that Americans will get "tired" carrying on a bitter war thousands of miles from home. The Japanese high command is counting on us to help her hold her stolen empire. The only way we will upset this Jap strategy is to become acutely aware of certain jolting facts: Do you know that Japan, the "master-race" of 70,000,000, now controls nearly a half-billion people—nearly a quarter of the world's population? Do you know that Japan right now has sufficient materials and food to carry on for many years at the present rate of attrition? Do you know that the Japs are making planes as fast as we can knock them down? One of our returned Navy fliers just recently said he chased a "Judy" (they're not fighting the old type Zeros any more!) for forty miles...and the Jap simply pulled away from one of our fastest planes! Do you realize that it's 14,000 miles from France to Tokyo...that we can't wait for the leftover returned Navy fliers just recently said he chased a "Judy" (they're not fighting the old type Zeros any more!) for forty miles ... and the Jap simply pulled away from one of our fastest planes! Do you realize that it's 14,000 miles from France to Tokyo ... that we can't wait for the leftover arms from Europe to beat Japan ... that the Jap Military is counting on this very barrier of distance to cool our ardor for war?

These are cold facts. Let’s look at them coldly, honestly. If we haven’t enough ships, we must build them. But a citizenry complacent in the idea that one of the world’s strongest empires is a pushover doesn’t build them fast enough. If we haven’t enough guns, planes and tanks, we must make them. But that means staying on our war jobs until our war jobs are finished. The question is not “Can we beat Japan?” It’s “When?” “How?” And at what cost in lives? The answer is up to every last one of us. It will end as soon as 130,000,000 Americans and their allies, fighting and working together, make it end.
