NAZI CHANCES OF VICTORY
SIGNIFICANT JAPANESE COMMENT LONG-TERM TACTICS PREDICTED ‘ TOKIO, October 4. (Received October 5, at 9.15 a.m.) Mr Masanori Ito Shighzy, 'a reputed naval expert, writing in the magazine ‘ Nippon Hyoron,’ said the outcome of the Anglo-German war was difficult to predict, which is a significant account.-, Virtually all the Japanese commentators have been predicting a German victory. He said that while Germany had demonstrated aerial superiority, the complete, domination of Britain in the air was “ not so easy to accomplish.” Also it would be a mistake to assume that air domination would enable the transportation of large military units across the Channel, because air mastery was 'only temporary. I|e said the German navy was too inferior to attempt a troop invasion of Britain, and thus the Germans were likely to adopt long-term tactics of blockade and constant offensives aimed at British morale.
