...Burma, not more than three or four Jap divisions are in immediate contact with Allied troops. Probably not more than 40,000 Japanese soldiers have been knocked out. The Japs still have almost 3,500,000-about 750,000 in Manchukuo, 800,000 in China, perhaps 100,000 in Indo-China, Malaya and Thailand, more than 75,000 in Burma, perhaps 90,000 in the southern islands, and all the rest in "depot" divisions in Formosa and Japan...

The result of such an examination is rather startling.

In Indo-China, Jap troops were recently reported landing at Haiphong on the coast and streaming ashore from barges at Hanoi on the Red River. Troop trains had been seen moving north-toward the Yunnan border. Chungking declared that Japan, with the cooperation of Vichyfrench Governor General Rear Admiral Jean Decoux, was conscripting an army of 150,000 native Indo- Chinese. Estimates of Japanese air forces in Burma, Indo-China and Siam: between...
