SINEWS OF WAR
Japan needs Great Britain and the United States if she is to make war successfully. Particularly she needs the United States, a fact that should be considered when you hear that war between this country and Japan is inevitable. The United States furnishes 56 per cent of Japan's imported war materials. Great Britain furnishes 20 per cent. All other nations combined furnish only 24 per cent. If ever Japan contemplates war against the United States, she must first find another source for her war materials and that will not be easy.
