During one of those frequent lapses when weather conditions in the Aleutians make activity for our forces against the enemy impossible, we suggest that both the Army and Navy take time to tell us just what is going on in this vital area. The other day a “naval authority” in Wnshingmnl said that there are about 10,000 Japs in the Aleu- tians. Now it is obvious that if our Navy knows there are 10,000 Japs in the Aleutians, it must know where they are. Why not tell us We can talk all we want to about a second front in Europe, about activities of our forces in the Medi- terranean zone and in Australia, but we can't kid ourselves into believing that the Aleutians are not important enough to do something about them. The Aleutians are part of the American continent, colored bungalow, vanilla with chocolate trmmings, though unhappily not edible. There were fewer bananas but no lack of bot dogs. Wistfully we look ahead to other Summers, Over seven weeks ago the Japanese made their first assault on the Aleutian Islands. This was the attack on Dutch Harbor. Several days later came the Japanese claim that several of the western Aleu- tians had been occupied. This claim was at first dismissed by our own naval authorities with the light-hearted comment that “none of our lnhabnedl island or rocks are troubled with uninvited visitors' up to this time.” Ferty-eight hours later came the admission that the Japanese had indeed landed at Attu and Kiska, but the assurance that these land- | ings had been “small.” The general impression im- | parted at that time by the Navy Department was accurately reflected by the comment in our summary of the war news that “naval authorities saw no| strategic importance in the Japanese incursion.” | Today, seven weeks after the first Japanese attack, | it is no longer possible to dismiss the invasion of the Aleutians as of no “strategic importance.” The | Japanese are on three islands, and they are there; HEART AND HOME: Good news regarding the war may be. expected today which should be -M| encouraging to wonien.

We've had a few gen- eral stories of bombings. There is every evidence the military knows much more about what is happen- So far we have been told: That a few Jap planes raided Dutch Harbor, dropped some bombs and did little damage. That the Japs landed some men on Attu, Kiska and Agattu jslands. That our forces have been bombing the Japs and have sunk some ships. That operations continue. In addition we were told that the occupied islands were of little importance.. Well, if they aren’t im- portant, what do the Japs want with them? We believe that the Japs are setting up more things than.a few tents on these islands.
