Fourth Avenue Bidg., Seattle, Wash, — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 | THEN AND NOW The time which h s elay r(l since Pearl Harbor is approximately the same as that between the Unit- ed States entry into World War I and the armistice —19 months. In those first 19 months we Bchlevedl a victory. Today we still are fighting, but our forces‘ are so much greater than those we had amassed | by the end of the other war that they are beyond | comparison. Our armies and navies today are spread over the seven seas, and we are fighting three pow- erful foes where in 1917 we were fighting but one. | Our months in World War II have been spent largely in preparation. Where United States casual-| ties were more than a quarter million between April, | 1917, and November, 1918, for the similar period be- tween December 8, 1941, and today we have suf- fered a total of only 91644 casualties. There lies ahead of us the possibility of greater victories than were achieved in 1918, for vanquishment of today's enemies will affect a large part of the world. During the months in which we fought against the Kaiser we paid too little attention-to problems which the armistice brought on us. We and our allies then were utterly unprepared to cope with the questions of peace. The result was a patch-quilt affair which contributed directly to the present situation. Former Senator Frederic C. Walcott, speaking to Juneau Rotarians the other day, made the remark that the winning of the war wasn't his chief worry }Mg\j Alexander P. de S | legitimate heir the problems of making a lasting peace was Walcott, who has served his country the this one, knows today the chief worry. abroad both in last war and |what he is talking about. We have many weeks—perhaps -of war ahead. While we continue to concentrate on pro- duction of war materiel and the drafting and train- ing of fighting men, we also can consider more and more the difficulties of peace. Perhaps, with addi- |tional time, we can work toward a more sane and sensible postwar settlement. Perhaps we can work out an international program which will prevent another world holocaust within the next quarte: century. years From Alaska (Seattle Post-Intelligencer) The route to Japan lies through Alaska, Seversky in the film “Victory Power,” made by Walt Disney, based y's widely read book of the same Hit Ja) Through Air on Major de Sevel 1ame This film is epochal for two reasons 1. Because it reveals Major de Severs of “Billy” Mitchell, who was mar- tyred by the Army for telling it that the nation with the largest and best bombers would rule the world. 2. Because as a vivid, realistic cartoon and {speaking picture it will bring home the truth by eye land ear as nothing else could to millions of Ameri- cans that Japan is enemy No. 1. Major de Seversky demonstrates with maps and animated pictures that it is almost hopeless to defeat Japan by the inch-by-inch land and sea process. Japan must be punctured through the heart, not through the toes and fingers. Japan must be bombed devastatingly as the Allies e bombing Germany. And the springboard to Japan’s industrial centers is our Alaskan islands and mainland, which an all- seeing providence whispered to Secretary of State Willlam H. Seward in 1867 to purchase from Russia. | Major de Seversky demonstrates by animated maps the inevitable, the logical route of our bombers —from the Aleutians to the heart of Japan. He says—and proves—that the way to annihilate Japan - is by the creation of scores of air bases i Alaska and the Aleutians. We are still asleep. We are not yet sufficiently air-conscious. Every one should see the film “Victory Through Air Power.” It will tell you why and how Japan is a deadly menace to our country. And it will also tell you conclusively how this menace can be destroyed—by bombing Japan itself around the clock, not from vulnerable and sinkahle air carriers, but from invulnerable and unsinkable bases on American soil—Alaska.
