Ten Million Japs - Trained To Fight Militarists Have Been Plan: ning War For Long Time Japan has more than 10,000, 000 men of military age ready to throw into her great effort for the conquest of Kast Asia and. domination of the western Padific Ocean and its islards, Of thjs wumber more than 3,- 000,000 are well trained and pres- ent. reserves probably are large enough to equip them with at. least most essential weapons. + Tokyo's militarists have been planning for this war for a long time--planning with that meth: odical thoroughness that makes the Japanese in some ways re- ¢ markably similar to the Germans, Conquered peoples, niostly Chi. nese, already have been imported into Japan proper to serve as la- borers, Millions of other "slave workers" are laboring for the Japanese military machine in Manchukuo, which, incidentally, has been: madg into a great in- dustrial and agricultural reservoir to feed the "Nipponese military machine, Observers Saw Preparations To any observer who spent the decade 1931-41 in the Nippcrese empire, as this correspondent did, and the careful preparations for war made by the leaders of Nip. pon's armed forces, it scems also a certainty that the Tokyo mili- tarists will not lose their present struggle because of a shortage of people. To start with there is a hard core of more than 80,000,000 "pure" Japanese who will furnish the bulk of combat troops and first - line munitions workers. These people have been subjected to every conceivable pressure to "condition" them for a protracted war. They have behind them the savage pride of. a homogenous nation and a latent hatred of . white men which is being fanned. by every device of propaganda. Then come 24,000,000 Korcans, some of whom®are accepted into the army as volunteers. Most im- partial observers believe the bulk of the Korean people have been pretty well Japanized. After the Koreans come some 6,000,000 Formosans--who prob- ably will behave about as the Koreans do throughout the war. Captive Peoples Used "Then there are the vast popula- tions of the so-cglled "occupied" "areas of China--possibly as many as 100,000,000 people or more. This reservoir is counted on. to ° furnish laborers for any area where they may be needed. Mil- lions already have been imported into Manchukuo t¢ serve as farm- ers, miners and factory workers. To the Japanese military mind all these "lesser" peoples should be workers; the Japanese doing the front line fighting. To do. the fighting there are an estimated 10,889,000 Japanese be- tween the ages of 18 and 35, com- pared with an estimated 22,796,- 000 men of fighting age in' the -- United States. Japanese law com- pels all able-bodied males between the ages of 17 and 40 to bear arms if called upon. Within these limits, the total manpower is probably 12,700,000. By no means are all these men trained fighters, any more. than are the Americans in the same category, but most have had far more military training than the average, American, All Boys Trained Every boy in school from the age of 12 or 13 receives military training under army officers. - This lasts until he leaves school; It is believed that at least 400, 000 have gone into the army each year since 1938, or a total of 1,- 200,000. Care has been taken not to drain the reserves of skilled fighters who might be needed for operations against the Soviet Un- ion. - Even before the Pacific war started estimates of the Japanese standing army credited it with as many as 1,965,000 men, including 36,600 fliers. Awaiting call were 1,210,000 trained" reserves, 16,- 000 of them fliers. There prob- ably 'were 1,600,000 other re- serves who had spent two years in the army but needed more ex- periénce with mechanized equip- ment before they could be used at the front, U.S. Air Force Goal Biggest In World The Nazis have some 1,260,000 menin the Luftwaffe, The R.A F, cludes a million, Last week. the .8. Army announced that its goal was an air force of 2,000, 000, the biggest in the world. Half that number, the Army hop- ed, would be mustered during 1942, The Japs, in pre-Pearl r estimates, had a piddling.- With a 2,000,000-man air force, the Army will have ground crews for its share of the 185,000 new planes U.S. factories expect to make by the end of 1948, plus + 150,000 new pilots.--Time BABES ON happen to know an act, a good of the clouds.

Snatch- ing her arm he pulled her into the office and gave it to her all in one big jumble. Then he grin. ned like a Neon light, "Success in three easy lessons. And now, what do you think of Williams?" Penny stood there and looked at him, Then she rubbed her eyes as if it were all too much for her, "I think," she said bitterly, "Wil. liams is still Williams."

Thornton Reed has a mil. lion dollars. And you and I can get another chance. But those kids ...". Tommy spoke defensively. "Yeah, but you don't get the point. I'm talking about the lives and careers of fifteen people, rtists. I'm talking about Tommy Villiams and Penny Morris, the performers, That hasn't got any- thing to do with kids going to the country." He reached for her hand. "Penny, let's get up there on top, Let's be stars first and then we can , , ." She turned away. "Never mind, don't bother. You haven't heard a word I said."

Then, as all the kids applauded and whistled, he opened it. There was.a round Ingersoll watch in the box, shining and new and proud, The price tag was still there: "Three fifty." Moisture came into his eyes, "Gosh." His voice was stuck. Now it came out rough. with - tears. "Kids; ypu shouldn't have." He looked at them helplessly. Then gradually other words came to him, Now his face was serious. "Listen 'everybody, it's the nicest present' I ever saw 'cause every." time I look at this watch I') see your faces and remember every one of you dnd what a great gang you are.

Penny was back in her office. She looked up. "You better hurry or yowll miss that train." "Look," Tommy said tightly, "I Just got one more speech and I have to make it." Penny turned her face away and he said, "You don't have to listen any more it you don't want to." She swallowed hard, "All right, Pm listening." . Tommy put his hands in his pockets 'and began to pace the floor. "Penny, all my life I've' been rehearsing to be a big man and it took five minutes for me to find out that I'm only a heel." She turned to look at him startled, "A bunch of little kids chipped in nickels and dimes and bought me a watch." He took.it out. "Pen. ny, I'm pretty ashamed that it took a bunch of six year olds to make me realize there's more to life than a song and a dance and an encore . . , and that there's more to people than just setting .out front and being an audience." He stared at the watch. "It's halt past one and that's the end of my speech." LJ * * Penny was looking at him now * with her heart in her eyes, "Tom. my," she said tremulously, "that's a wonderful speech." Then she smiled. "And life begins at halt past one." . He smiled back nervously, "And now I've got a couple of words to say... really only three..." "Well. why don't you say 'em and get it over with?" "Aw." He was blushing, "1 could say 'I love you' but every- body says it that way. Look." He sat her down beside him and took her hands. "Penny, weren't you ever out in a rain storm and you felt. like you were the only rerson, in the world who wasn't getting' wet? Were you ever look- ing at a full moon and it was only half a mdon because you were looking at it alone?" "Well , , ." Penny murmured. He went on, "Did you ever meet anybody, then suddenly you felt like you were taking off the . ground, right into space as if you were the propeller going 'round and round, thirty thousand revo- lutions to the minute and there were no landing fields left in the world ?" . =~ Penny looked at him rapturous. Iy. "Yes," she whispered, "I've had that feeling , , , and it started in a drug store." y Solemnly, he leaned over and kissed her, . Then he said, "Isn't - it wonderful what you can get these days in a drug.store?" _ It was some minutes later, that stern reality confronted them again; Tommy glanced at the watch and jumped up. "Come on." His eyes were alittle 'sad.
