Immediately after the Spokane tied up the Governor's party boarded the vessel and welcomed the party to the Territory after which Mayor R. E. Robertson outlined the pro- gram for the day. Plans included visits to Mendenhall Glacier, a recep- tion at the Governor’s mansion and later entertainment at a replica of early Dawson days. One hundred and sixty were in the party. 1 Three large searching parties were looking for Aviator C. O. Prest, missing for three days on a flight from Eagle to Fairbanks. News from Eagle was that Prest carried a gun and fishing tackle and if he landed safely, could possibly work his way to safety. Fairbanksans were anxious- ly awaiting reports from the searching parties. | Initial steps weer taken to organize a credit association in Juneau | the previous evening at a gathering of local merc! s.

That does not include sub-machine guns. If we add those in, the total is well over 100,00, All these figures are for one single month. “While these figures give production accomplishments. this is no time for the American people to get over-confident.

He went to Japan in 1856. Com- modore Perry had opened the gates of the island em- pire, but it was the skill of Har that opened it to the enterprise of the world. The treaty which he ne- gotiated was an individual achievement, and it formed the basis of Japan's relations with foreign pations for more than 40 years. And, before the war at least, Townsend Harris was a hero to the Japanese people, who admitted their gratitude to him, and his houses at Shimoda and the Legation at Tokyo were marked and preserved as shrines. Harris had a thorough understanding of the Jap- anese people, but he continually commented on the deceit of the officials and the fact that falsehood b Yia aid and comfort to the en-| Not even a postcard saying, like this.” Well, soldiers are pretty busy these and they've got a lot of people to write to, and, besides, after a twelve-mile hike letter-writing is hard work.

An obscurity of official comment | also veils them. First we were assured that the enemy had landed in ho “inhabited” area. The landings were even dis- | missed as a Japanese “face-saving gesture.” Then it was suggested that the islands were too rocky and forbidding to be of much value to the enemy. In this stage the difficulty of building landing fields and submarine basins was emphasized. Later it was ad- | mitted that enemy ships had entered Kiska harbor and that troop barracks had already been erected on shore. Now we are informed that there cannot be | more than a few hundred Japanese soldiers there. If that is the case, why have they not been driven off? More than three weeks have elapsed since they were first reported and our only known attempt to dislodge them has been by sporadic bombing through occasional breaks in the mist. The fogs which per- mitted them to get a foothold in the first place should favor equally a determined counter-attack provided it is made in sufficient force. Experience in the East Indies has repeatedly shown that if such an attack is not made soon it will be too late. We cannot tolerate this invasion of the Western Hemisphere. We could not hold the Philippines be- cause they were too close to Japan. We must hold the Aleutians because they are too close to our own continent, It would be unthinkable folly to let the Japanese remain where they are, astride our only route to Siberia, and in the very zone that we must use to launch an invasion of Japan.
