WEAPONS MADE IN JAPAN
Bothing flimsy about them.
M>.A. Gable.
NEW YORK, Oct. 11.
■ There is nothing flimsy about cap■ured Japanese material, according to ■he United Press correspondent at ■Marine Corps headquarters in the Bbolomons. The machine-guns are f ■the latest, air-cooled design, and leither of European construction or an lexact duplicate. The flame-throwers I are modern, with a range of 40 feet. I The one-man light machine-guns are I equal to the best American in perIformance and construction. I Spare radio tubes were packed in Imahogany boxes, which were masterIpieces of cabinetmaking. Each tube ■ was cradled in a sponge of rubber Imoulded to fit the contours of the rglass. I Wrecked Zero fighters, from propeller to tail-skid, were found to be , expertly built of the best materials . and assembled with great care and | skill. I The Nipponese military observers lattached to Embassies throughout ■the world did their jobs well. Incor■porated in each^ weapon are the best ■devices obtainable from the different ■models used both by their allies and ■bieir enemies.
