PEOPLE OF JAPAN
WILL STARVE RATHER THAN SURRENDER ACCORDING TO ENGLISH PROFESSOR. BOOK MAKES IMPRESSION IN BRITAIN. (Received I’his Day, 11.50 a.m.) LONDON, October 6. “I believe the Japanese will never surrender. They will go on lowering their standard of living, if necessary, until the daily ration is barely sufficient to sustain life, but the people will not crack.” This is an extract from a book “Traveller from Tokio,” by an Englishman, Professor John Morris, who was recently repatriated from Japan. His book is being widely discussed, and it is doubtful if arty publication has contributed more towards bringing home to Britons the real meaning of Japanese aggression. Professor Morris adds: “It is only by the complete physical destruction of their men and resources that the Japanese can be defeated. Until we arc in a position to I bring this about any talk of Japanese collapse is merely a dangerous form of wishful thinking.”
