ATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1011 an Bullding, Seattle, Wash, PUBLIC OPINION Even as the Japs réach mn for more of the Aleu- tian Islands and raid Alaska outposts, attempting to consolidate gains and positions from which they could very well launch their boasted threu. of an invasion of the United States proper, the public labels Ger- many, rather than Japan, as the nation’s No. 1 en- emy. According to a recent Gallup Poll, more than twice as many Americans believe the Germans must be taken care of first. This attitude holds true even for the Pacific Coast, and for Canada, The government’s policy of minimizing all Jap gains in the Aleutians, prohibiting publication of stories of Jap raids, is probably mainly responsible for this viewpoint. But since the people not been given the true picture of the latest s, we fail to see where this opinion poll have Jap is significant activitie: A Job l‘nr 'Vlr. Davis (Cincinnati Enquirer) Selective service headquarters, in fixing quotas of men to be inducted into service by individual draft boards in each state, naturally must be guided by the size of the army which the War Department believes it needs The eventual size of the army, in turn, will de- pend upon future military developments, which are unpredictable, and upon the type of strategy decided upon by American authorities in connection with the overall war plans of the United Nations. This figurc has been placed variously at from 3,600,0000 to 8,000 000 men by official or semiofficlal sources. Every reasonablé person knows that we are deal ing here with imponderables, and that any estimatc is subject to revision. Nevertheless, considerable un nec v confusion and uncertainty in the minds o potential draftees are created by the frequent anc cenflicting ‘public estimates that have come from Washington, from one source or another, and by quick changes in policy on deferments. Only a few weeks ago, selective quarters announced officially that deferments hence- forth could be expected only by those men in vita' war work, that occupation, not dependency, would be the determining factor in future deéferments. Thid Was hecessary, according to the explanation, to fill the requirements of an army that might be larger by several million men than that to be created un- der (n\lllm t'\[lmnle service head _!the probable \ Now, it appears that we are aiming at an armv‘ of 4,500,000 men. But the basic ground of deferment apparently is to be changed from occupational skill to family dependency, if the statement of Congres- siorlal policy just adopted can be relied upon. Mar- ried men of draft age now are to be classified ‘under an entirely new formula based upon the degree of family dependency Some “officials” also have predicted that the draft be lowered to 18—after the elec- married men will have to be called | age definitely will | ticns—and that no at all The net result of these changes and contradic- ‘(.uns is to put millions of potential draftees, especial- |1y those in the ITI-A classification, in perpetual tn- They attempt to make important adjust- lives and jobs, and to take care of | certainty ments in their | the 1 invariably have, on the basis of announced policy and effects this policy will have upon them.

For instance, the Dodge Company before the war was making speed-boats at the rate of 35 a day. But now. despite the urgent need of combating submar- ines, it is awarded contracts to build sub-chasers at a fraction of that rate per year. On the other hand, if the Army und Navy pooled their orders they could have one boat company make all of one type of vessel, while an- to London as an Tough a trooper other company made another. For instance, the Elco company could make motor-torpedo boats and nothing else. And the Dodge Com- pany at Newport News could make mine-laying tugs and nothing else Instead, the Dodge Company got an order for a certain type of ves- sél.
