Remember the Jap. is as good, or belter fighter than you are, and better armed ; the ‘Chink’ as a fighting machine is excellent, provided he gets sufficient rice and cash (there is unlimited supply of him), and his Jap, commanders will see to that. I think it behoves you to try and see ahead for the next 25 or 40 years, and not be depending on the Mother Country for your military backing. This country does not expect a war with England, yet she is talking of fortifying the shores of the lakes against such a possible contingency,”
