Bomb and Burn Japan From End to End
PLEASANT PROSPECT FOR TO JO’S DUPES Received Sunday, 11.50 p.m. NEW YORK, March 12. “The raids on Truk and the Mariannas have set the pattern of the Pacific war. If the pattern continues we shall either capture or neutralise the enemy’s outlying bases until we approach the coast of Japan proper. Then we will bomb and burn it from one end of the island empire to the other,” said Rear-Admiral Sherman to a United Press interviewer. He added: “The carrier fleet has nullified the assertion that land-based aviation is superior. If we have more carrier planes at a given spot than the Japs have land-based planes we can go there and do as we like—that goes for Tokio, too.”
