Jap Face Red, Says Stimson Secretary Warns Coast Raids Likely For Tokyo Revenge WASHINGTON, May Stimson said today the War Department considered a Japanese air raid on the United States to be inevitable as a return blow for Brigadier General James M.

Doolittle's attack on Tokyo and other Japanese cities. The secretary told his press conterence the Army was doing everything possible to meet the expected attack, which he indicated was anticipated on the West Coast. "Whatever happens, we shan't relax our most effective defenseour preparations for a major offensive." he said. Stimson also told a questioner that despite the great distance the East Coast lies from Japan, an attack on the National Capital was "not inconceivable." He did not discuss the possibility of attacks by Japan's Axis partners. The "loss of face" Japan suffered from the Army air attack led by General Doolittle made a vengeance blow inevitable, Stimson contended.

"The United States, through General Doolittle, inflicted a stinging, humiliating, surprise blow on the Japanese as evidenced by their boasting of Japan's invulnerability at the very time the bombers came over." the secretary said. "To anyone who knows Oriental psychology, it is clear that attack has meant a most serious 'loss of face' which by Oriental psychology can only be wiped out by a return blow--a greater blow if possible. "That situation is of paramount interest to us today---to set our house in order what seems inevitable. We are fully alert to this almost inevitable sequence of the Tokyo raid and are doing everything we can to prepare for such a return blow." Stimson noted that both he and General George C. Marshall, Army chief of staff, had warned that "with our extensive coast line there is no such thing as a perfect defense" against raids.
