The President’s words to owr far-flung troops were as cannon fodder— for those who survive or escape the faith.

One is that the Al n region provides an ideal highWay for an offensive against Japan, and the other is that we need a “complete unity of com- mand”—quoting Senator Harold H. Burtcn of Ohio— in this theater. The latter conclusion probably is of more immed- iate importance. Presumably, the Senators and their accompanying military experts gained an insight into an awkward and potentially dangerous division of military and civilian command in the Alaskan area In any event, of course, their reasons for special con- cern on the point should be a matter of interest to Congress and the administration The demccratic nations have suffered enough from trative unit Andersor a professor science at University of Minnesota staggering job of counting total to be 175418.
