MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS (Clévelanid Plain: Dealer) We have so many times criticized the federal govérnment for faflure to reduce its own non- | esseritial 'spending while demanding - individuals to |do so that we feel it is only fair to congratulate the government when an instance of economy turns up. The Associated Press i exclusively entitled to the use for A large number of Washington bureaus, which republication of all news dispatches credited to it or not other- b wise credited in this paper and aiso the local news published are manned by regiments of press agents, have . ordered reductions in amounts of paper used. Triple and double spacing are taboo. Both sides must be used A small matter perhaps, but worth following through. Next logical step is the elimination of the | publieation ‘of hundréds of pamphlets tracing their| origin to the dear, dead days of the past, such as| instructions on building artistic milk sheds and rules for greasing buggy wheels, Then staffs of writers | could be reduced. ' Railroad cars and trucks hauling paper to Washington would be diverted to national defensé, Postoffices, relieved of burdens, could cut down. Voters would need fewer waste baskets, which are made 6f metal. Cities could get by with smaliér | erews of paper collectors. | 1‘ There is no énd to it all. Perhaps national | economy will be achiéved by making one sheet of papet'do the work of two. But we will not hold our breath, for here comes a report on the produc- i tion-of red cedar shingles. | ALASKA CIRCULATIO!

The Navy had the backbone of its fleet, including some of its best battleships, con- centrated at Pearl Harbor for such an attack. And it ruled out the idea that an airplane carrier could steam at 30 knots all night, and get close enough so that its planes, | unleashed two hours before dawn, could take Pearl Harbor by sur-| prise. Ordinarily, Navy patrol planes flew only about 1,000 miles out to sea from Pearl Harbor. But an airplane carrier steaming twelve! hours under cover of darkness, could make 360 miles; while its planes, flying 300 miles an hour, | could make 600 miles in two hours or a total of 960 miles. Thus an airplane carrier could lurk on the outskirts of the Navy patrol planes 1,000 mile cruise, and at 6 P. M. be- gin its dash to Pearl Harbor. | The most important thing to note, ! however, was that this antiquated ] red-tape, set up for the pmmu.mn\ of Pearl Harbor and other coastal areas, war worked out by a Joint!
