That has been true many times in the war in the Pacific; doubtless it will be true again. But the idea that Japanese military leaders order their men to fight on and die simply because of fanatical devotion to a cause or because of a peculiar MEMBER OF ASSGCIATED PRESS The Assoclated Press is exclusively entitled to the use for republication of all news dispatches credited to it or not other- wise credited in this paper and also the local news publish herein idea that death in battle is its own reward, has not been borne out by recent battle developments. In several island operations of late the Nipponese have fled, without any fight at all, from positions which were defensible and which our leaders had believed NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Pourth Avenue Bidg., Sedttle, Wash were considered of some importance. This would indicate that we still misjudge, to some extent at least, the Jap's military ability. Useless o TRAVEL ERA COMING Whatever happens to Alaska after the war, it is fairly certain that a good many persons will be here to see it happen. As the present conflict stretches out, with gas ra- tioning, auto shortagessand water and plane travel restrictions, probably the thing that most Americans everywhere miss the most is travel. After the war there is going to be a good deal of traveling. It stands to reason that Alaska will get a big share of the tourist industry. People in the States probably know five times as much about Alaska now than they did before the war. Once ihe strategic importance of the Territory was brought to the fore, Alaska received more publicity in a year than in the last 10 yegrs. And publicity pays off. To date, the Federal government and its agency have been the only agencies to attempt what is known as post-war planning with the tourist in mind. The National Park Service has had a small force under Senior Land Planner A. P. Bursely in Alaska for several months for the main purpose of studying the part of the Alaska Highway that lies in Alaska with the. view of peacetime benefits. Apparently, recommendations of proposed post-war projects will be made to Washington. More recently, Major O. A. Tomlinson, Director of the National Park Service for the Western States, Hawaii and Alaska, visited the Territory and said that he would certainly recommend the region to ‘Washington as a future tourist area. Striking closer to home, Tomlinson also visited Glacier Bay and came back to Juneau with praise for the beauty of the locality. Development of this area would be of direct benefit to Juneau. But there will be many regions beckoning to the post-war tourist. Alaska should have a real appre- ciation of the importance that the tourist industry holds for Alaska. But it would be a wise move for the Territory to launch an advertising campaign that sacrifice of men and materiel, regardless of the heroics involved, is not sound military practice. Such a policy, carried on extravagantly, would end in disaster even to a country boasting almost unlimited reserves. This Japan cannot boast Although her army is large, it must be parsimoniously used, since the area sHe now patrols is tremendous. Never long on fabri- cating metals, she cannot afford to sacrfice any of her precious fighting tools by abandoning them to the snemy. If, indeed, there was a time when she felt the necessity for the bravado which suicide tactics might incite at home, that time apparently has passed. She now plays her cards carefully, retreating when retreat eems the better part of wisdom; fighting when her hances of success are reasonable. Such a military attitude, while actually it may work against, rather than for, Allied victory, must dispel some of the false ideas we in America have held as to the Jap's prowess and courage. It should teach us, in addition, that we fight a canny foe who realizes full well the worth of the old adage about the desirability of living to fight another day. ' Brenner Pass (New York Times) One the eve of the invasion of the Continent, American Flying Fortresses struck a series of heavy blows at three important cities on the railway line leading down into Italy from the Brenner Pass. This Alps, and through it must pour the great bulk of whatever troops and materiel the German High Com- mand intends to throw into the forthcoming ‘Battle 5f Ttaly. Our successful attack on the Brenner line 5 therefore of great strategic importance. Bolzano, Trento and Bologna have been hit so hard by our Aortresses that apparently all traffic has been inter- rupted temporarily. It is possible that as the campaign jevelops out attack will be carried still closer to the Alps themselves. The rail line is particularly vulner- yble as it cross the mountains, for it is carried thrugh them by no fewer than twenty-one tunnels and sixty bridges. There is something particularly appropriate about this return of the war to the Brenner Pass, for in one sense it was at the Brenner Pass that the war began. On a March afternoon five and a half years ago a tolumn of German machine gunners and motor-cycle seouts drew up at the Italian border with a flourish German frontier.” This was the fruit of Hitler's first | act of aggression against a neighboring state—his swift conguest of Austria.
