As has been the custom in past years, Mayor Hatry 1. Lucas reports that the City of Juneau will send trucks around to haul away the accumulated junk. All that is needed is enough ambition to lug | the serap to the curb. In paét years, in spite of the splendid service | offered by the e¢ity, many residents have put the cleaning off from one day to the next until the week has passed and it's too late, or the city has to go to’ the added expense of sending the trucks around | at. a later date. For that reason, we suggest that the work of raking up the yard, cleaning out empty lots;, garages, backyards and other unsightly spots—and there are many of them—be started right now. It should be pointed out that very few cities offer the cooperation of hauling away the trash as a free service. Juneau is an exception Paint; if you can apply it yourself, can still be ptirchased and the ambitious can brighten up their houses With a little extra work. Rakes, shovels and | other garden tools may also still be bought in Juneau stores. It's a matter of civic pride and responsibility. Let's “clean- up!

So the loud propaganda accompanying Premier Tojo's visit of Dr. Ba Maw, the Burmese puppet, to Tokyo, all |calculated to create an idyllic picture of Japan quiet- ly consolidating her conguests and_ preparing only to ‘de!end them, has a hollow ring. Continuous eénemy concentrations north of Australia and unusual enemy |activity in the Aleutians both suggest that Japan imeans to strike hard when she believes her hour has Isounded. Her leaders know a war of conquest that | depends on defense alone is a lost war, \ Nevertheless, Japan is building an Asiatic fortress just as Germany has built her Fortress of Europe. {The same urgent necessity impels both nations te 'hold their empires of loot at any cost. Japan is She has {probably in the better position of the two. |{had to meet no major {riches of the lands she has subdued are inexhaustible. |Once the resources of Burma, Indo-China, the Phil- xppmes and the Dutch Indies have been organized anun hopes to become impregnable. The Fortress of Europe is a land fortress, The Asiatic fortress stands mostly on islands. Out of the myriad which have fallen into her hands Japan has lost only one small group. Her empire is now linked { in a chain of iron rings, each an anchored plane 'carrler Inside that chain armor the work of con- solidation, communication and defense has gone on virtually unhindered. What we have done against Japan thus far, other than cutting down her naval forces, is chiefly to measure her strength. We have found it tog great to be overcome by half measures too fully developed to he longer ignored. Signs ac- cumulate that we, too, are preparing to put forth a major effort in the Pacific. Where the first blow will fall we do not know. But we shall have to break |through a strong ring of outer defenses before we |can strike a blow at the real Fortress of Asia. Enigma of the Sea (New York Times) It is good to know, on the authority of Albert V. Alexander, First Lord of the British Admiralty, that during the past eight months Allied shipping | gains have exceeded losses by “a good deal more than 2,000,000 tons.” It is also good to know that !new ways_of destroying submarines are ‘being tried Mr. Alexander is no offite-chair’ navigator. He has |been out with the trawlers sweeping mines and hav- ling a look at the perilous bosom of the deep. But, of course, the precise answer to the most crucial qucsnon of the war cannot be given. What the pub- llc would like to know, and what the enemy would | like Lo know, is the percentage of losses to cargoes |satcly' delivered. We have to abate our curiosity on that peint. \ We can infer, however, that eargoes are gemng | through 'in' massive quantity. The fighting in North | Africa indicates that the Allied forces there are being suppliéd. - We have had broader and broader hints that an expeditionary force can be dispatched to the European continent as soon as North Africa s mopped. up arid deloused. These hints are obviously intended to keep the enemy jittery, but they would not be.put out if there were not substance behind them. And_the substance behind them depends on \assurance of supply. Similarly it is clear that a good deal of material is getting overseas into Russia and that food is reaching Britain .. We simply do not know and cannot yet be told the cost of these operations. Ships go down, and men with them, and their battles are seldoin record- ed. The merchant seaman voyages from mystery to | mystery. Never since men explored unknown waters in rude sailing ships has the sea witnessed so much !rl!k, s0 much loss, such splendor of the human spirit, nor so vast a crisis in mankind’s fate. that door opens |old friend Secretar~ Ickee av tiin- says, “it opens a |ing the famous Jackson Hole hunt- .

W. S. Pekovich, head of the Alaska-Admiralty Gold Mining Company, returned to Juneau on the Admiral Rogers on his way to Funter Bay. Coming to the local theatres were, at the Coliseum a return engage- ment of “Over the Hill” and at the Palace, Pearl White in “Any Wife.” Considerable funds were a\'a‘llab]e for the activities which were handled from the head office of the Alaska Road Commission at Juneau, it was announced by Col. James G. Steese, President of the commission. Part of the funds were from the War Department appropriation, includ- ing $650,000 for roads and trails and authority to incur obligations amounting to an additional $487,500, to be available in time for part of the next winter's work. The general appropriation bill was introduced in the Territorial Legislature with a total of $1,540,000 asked for the coming biennium. It |was about $362,515 larger than the one introduced two years previously. rest and relaxation. Spring fever may affect workers in shops and | factories. HEART AND HOME; Splendid ability demonstrated by women in war seryice will aid homemakers toward necessary changes in fam- 1 ily life. In contemplation of inevi-| table results of several great of-| fensives by United Nations forces, | Americans of every class will co- operate in Government efforts with a whole-heartedness hitherto lack-| ing. This month and next will} bring events of such overpowering results that there will be Tittle trace of our stubborn complacency in the face of war. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Desml(‘ rationing there will continue to be 1 sense of prosperity through com- | ing weeks, While every one isearn- Ing money general financial well- being will be stimulating... Much money will be spent for recreation, | even though pleasure driving is cur- tailed. Theaters and other places | of amusement in large centers of industry will profit greatly and 2 return to vaudeville, pantomxmvu‘ {and similar entertainments will be | popular. NATIONAL ISSUES: According to astrologers there has been too much conjécture regarding plans for | our part in the summer campaigns sn many fronts. Freedom of speech | has been carried too far, the seers | declare, because well-meant radio | news interpretations and daily edi- torials backfire. The public mind shotild not be puzzled and confused, | out inspired and stimulated. Truth must not be juggled when bad re-| ports are to be made or informa- tion transmitted, but ‘“sufficient unto each day is the evil thereof.” | INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Russia comes under ‘a sign which may, be disturbing and cause tem- porary frustration in certain -plans. Waring is given of fifth: column attempts to bring about mi.vpdcr- standings and misinterpretations affecting relations with the Allies. m North Africa and South Amer- , citizens will meet new acquain- tances of Axis sympathies practice deception under guise of friendship.
