Japan's foremost problem is not army manpower: new divisions are constantly being recruited. The problem is to guess when and where the invasion of the home islands is coming. If the Jap generals guess wrong, as they have so often done, there will be no time to shift dispositions. No Substitute.

Time after time Tweed abandoned a hideaway only minutes before a Jap hunting party arrived...
