From NAVAL ATTACHE CHUNGKING OPNAV DATE DEC. 19, 1941 PARAPHRASED BY R.V. ROBINSON 190615 CR 0240 PART 3 OF FOUR PARTS, PERSONAL FOR THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY. THERE IS ALSO OCCURRING A RAPID DETERIORATION OF THE ECONOMIC SITUATION WHICH MAY BECOME ACUTE AND BREAK THE GENERALLISSIMO'S CONTROL IF SINGAPORE FALLS. THERE ARE OTHER INFLUENTIAL FIGURES IN CHINA WHICH HAVE LONG OPPOSED CHIANG KAI CHEK'S FAITH IN US AND SUCH A SITUATION WOULD PERMIT THESE TO ATTAIN CONTROL AND ABANDON THE DEMOCRATIC FRONT AND UTILIZE THE PRESENT JAP DESIRE TO SETTLE THE CHINA WAR TO OBTAIN A TOLERABLE PEACE, THEREBY GIVING THE JAPS FREE ACCESS TO THE RESOURCES OF CHINA AND THE MANPOWER OF CHINA, THUS FULLY DEVELOPING THE LONG PREDICTED "YELLOW PERIL." INDIA IS AT LEAST AS VULNERABLE TO OUR REVERSES AS IS CHINA. GERMAN AND JAPANESE PROPAGANDA IS VERY STRONG THERE, AND OURS IS COtaSp Icuous BY ITeS ABSENCE. A CRYING NECESSITY IS A STRONG (PREDOMINATELY SO) BROADCASTING STATION TO THE FAR EAST; PREFERABLY LOCATED IN THE PHILIPPI NES. PART 4 WILL FOLLOW IMMEDIATELY |
