Japan's Second Front

Mitchell, Donald W. | August 8, 1942 issue

Any close observer of Japanese actions in the present war is at once impressed by two things— the marked ability of the Japanese to complete a definite plan successfully despite obstacles and losses, and the apparent uncertainty, lack of decisiveness, and opportunism once the basic plan has been worked out. A Japanese fleet entered the Bay of Bengal, made threatening gestures at India, and did great damage before its retirement. China received increased attention and a Japanese submarine sank a Soviet merchant ship in the Sea of Okhotsk.
