Strategy Against Japan In World War II
Senator Hickenlooper.
Question No. 5: Isn"t your proposal for sea and air blockade of Red China
the same strategy by which Americans achieved victory
over the Japanese in the Pacific?
General MacArthur.
Yes, sir.
In the Pacific we bypassed them.
We closed in.
You must understand that Japan had an enormous population
of nearly 80 million people, crowded into 4 islands.
It was about half a farm population. The other half was engaged in industry.
Potentially the labor pool in Japan, both in quantity and quality, is as good
as anything that I have ever known.
Some place down the line they have discovered what you might call the dignity
of labor, that men are happier when they are working and constructing than
when they are idling.
This enormous capacity for work meant that they had to have something
to work on.
They built the factories, they had the labor, but they didn"t have
the basic materials.
There is practically nothing indigenous to Japan except the silkworm.
They lack cotton, they lack wool, they lack petroleum products, they lack tin,
they lack rubber, they lack a great many other things, all of which was
in the Asiatic basin.
They feared that if those supplies were cut off, there would be 10 to 12 million
people unoccupied in Japan.
Their purpose, therefore, in going to war was largely dictated by security.
