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.
