Prospects Seen For Speedier Jap Pafent
Washington reports a plan to shift European troops to the Pacific after Germany falls, leaving equipment in Europe and rearming in the Pacific from U S stocks. The approach could save months in the war against Japan but raises reconversion delays and lives saved versus casualties. Equipment left behind may include trucks and construction gear, with heavy bombers likely moved, while small arms and tanks may be shipped. Troop movements alone would span months.
