DEFEAT OF JAPAN
LONDON, June 19.
In the most frank article on Japanese Imperialism so far published in Russia, the Soviet commentator Klementi Popov is the first Russian writer to predict outright that Japan will be defeated. Writing in the journal “War and the Working Class,” Popov says: “In the days when Hitler’s hordes devastated the Soviet Union, Japan included the Soviet Far East, Siberia, and even the Middle East in her sphere. However, the delirious plans of the Japanese Imperialists found a bitter end with the defeat of the German armies at Stalingrad. “The position of the Japanese Imperialists in the light of the Allied Pacific counter-offensives and the prolongation of the war in China becomes more and more difficult. Japan is in the Hitlerite coalition which is going down to inevitable defeat.” ’
