Far East doomed by prewar errors and air deficit
The piece argues that British and Dutch failures before World War II, including no adequate air force and limited airfields, doomed Malaya, Singapore, and Java. Reinforcements were impossible within 30 to 60 days, naval support would have been needed to break Japanese lines, and censorship masked the real outcome. Responsibility lies with British and Dutch policy, not Allied forces.

Bet ty Galbraith notes that work of national importance is seen as large scale conservation or land reclamation, similar to CCC tasks, potentially handled by private employers with new legislation. Only about 2,300 objectors exist in 25 government camps, not enough for farm labor shortages. The Geneva convention requires humane treatment, decent food, and wages set by belligerents. it also allows prisoners to refuse dangerous work and limits hours. The Red Cross coordinates letters and packages, camps are inspected by neutral reps, and Swiss ministers inspect camps for the U S Germany and Italy. Japan has delegated affairs to Spanish ministers.
