War reveals Jap Air Force Was under-rated B J. I. Sanderson Canadian Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON. Dec. l9—fCP>— Two weeks of warfare in the Paci- fic have shown that many people were wrong on one subject-the Japanese air force was definitely under-rated. Always somethtig of a myste astoszeandt sofplanesuse . the Japanese a r force has been a atent weapon so far in the fight- 11R but it has yet to prove that it has fighter planes and long-range bombers comparable to British and American designs. 8o far. the Japanese air force. which Ofnrates under army com- mand and is not a separate mil- itary unit. like the Royal Canadian Air Force. has struck some telling blows. It has destroyed two of Bri- tain's most powerful warships. the battleship Prince of Wales and the battle cruiser Ropulse. and six United States naval vessels lncliid- fnlz the battleship Arizona which were lying in Pearl Harbor in the Hawaiian Islands. Bombing Accurate Reports from Malaya. the Phil- ippines and Hawaii indicate that Japanese bombing has been ex- tremely accurate bu-t they also em- phaslre that British and American fighters are vastly superior in oom- bat with Japanese bombers. It has been estimated here that the strength of the Japanese air force is between 5.000 and 8.000 planes of all types. Japan. being essentially a maritime nation. has at least seven and perhaps l3 air- craft carriers. generally nnaller _cl_lurch seryicgs. than British and American dong.

Some or the Japanese owls" w- commcdale only 30 planes. vom- paxed to 65-75 for the Ark Royal and 100 for the U55. Enterprise. 'I'l1c Japanese have not develop- ed any distinctive aircraft types but have been content to work with copies or variations of Ger- man, British and Amercian 918ml and engines. Recently, German in- fluence has been very noticeable in Tokyg and there is ‘reason to be- lieve that the Japanese air force has received instruction and assist- ance from Nazi airmen and pro- duclion experts. Jan Bombs a Blow According to information avail- able here Japanese bombers are slow and have relatively low horse- palsvered engines. Flor instance, the Atlcaifsuki 19, a twin-egirie lane which is believed lo form the ack- bone of Japan's bombing fleet, has a top speed 01' only 220 miles an hour and a cruising range of 2.500 miles. Another Japanese bomber. the Kawaski 93. also a twin-engine plane, has a top speed oi.’ only 100 miles an hour. a service ceiling of 23.000 feet and a range of 2.000 miles. Japanese seaplanes. used mainly for reconnaissance duty. are con- sidered superioi- to the known types of bombers. The KF. 1, powered by three 825-horsepower Rolls-Royce Buzzard engines. has a speed of 215 miles an hour and a. range of at least 2.000 miles. If the military experts of Bri- tain and the United states know anything about Japanese fighter planes and dive-bombers, they are keeping the information to them- selves. But. from all information available here. Japanese fighters are regarded as definitely slower than British and American planes and tcarry considerable less amia- men . Japs Have Messerschmltia It was reported recently that, German Mcsserschmilt 109's had pounced clown from the clouds on American-made Martin bombers patrolling the Burma Road, de- straying glx of eight. If that re- port was correct, it probably means that specifications and perhaps technicians as well have been sent from Germany to Japan to help build modern fighters because the planes could not have been flown lgfre and it is unlikely they were s pped b!’ sea. But, with Japan's paucity of ram materials and the time required to retool an aircraft industry for new models. it seems logical to suppose that Japanese designs will form the backbone of the Nlpponese ail- force for some time to come, even Lf German technicians are there in numbers to superlhiend produc- tion of German models. Reports irm the Pacific battle zones show that what the Japanese pilots lack in equipment they makr up in fanatical zeal and a sense of oriental fatalism that per-nub them w take extraordinary‘ risks t’ drive home an attack. at Wt!‘ true of the attacks on the Prinri of Wales and the Repulse and. l.» a lesser extent, on Pearl I-Iarbci- where surprise and laxity by the American defending forces plflyfil pfllrdfs in the outcome of the dawn ra . Canada Grows In Diplomacy As Year Ends (B Frank Flallerty) (Clllifll an Press Staff Writer) OITAWA. Dec. l7-(CP)—Deatli war and increasing activity bro lit important menses in Cans as small but growing external affairs department and fplomatio service during 104i. The department which handles all business ‘ ween Canadian and other governments expanded its ac- tivities more than in an. other re- cent year and be an to e on some of the characie stlcs of the foreign affairs departments of world ers with t elr specialised branc es. Canadian representation abroad showed a marked tendency to shift from East to West. While oontraclr with European countries diminished due to war. oartlv for the same ren- son contrac with American and ‘Irons-Pacific states became more intimate, except in the case of Jan- an. Lesa of Skelton The death of Dr. 0. D. Biieltcn under-secretary of stale for extern- al "affairs removed the man Ill" had guided the department throuvh the wars in which Canada develoc- ed its system of diplomatic repre- sentation in foreign and Empire capitals and gathered into the de- partment a staff of brilliant grad- uates of Canadian universities. The government selected Norman Robertson as Dr, Skeltonlil successor and under Mr. Robertson a. degree of division of responsibility within the staff was worked out. While the department. was not divided into European, Asiatic and other divis- ions as are similar departments at Washington and London certain membcls of tile stall were assigned to look after certain areas, Thus Hugh Keeineysidc became responsible for Far Eastern and American allairs and L. n. ftiilsoll, recalled duri the year from the High Commiss opera office in Lon- don speclalized on Empire and Eur- opean afialrs.

The latest development in the foreign field was an agreement to exchange ministers with China. The Chinese government has appointed a man to Canada but no Canadian appointment has been made up to the opening of war with Japan. An addition was made to the striii of high colnmlssionerships in noun ies of the Empire when Char- les Burchell was recalled from Aus- tralia and appointed first Canadian high commissioner in Newioul1d- land. Increased inter-governmental business with Newfoundland due to the presence of Canadian troops in the Island colony was given as the reason for the appointment. Mai-Gen. Victor Odlllm. of Van- couver was sent to Australia as high commissioner and went to his post directly from the command of the 2nd division in England. Following the death oi.’ Loring G.
