NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Bidg., Seattle, Wash. AN OLD STORY Tomorrow marks the opening of the Fourth War Loan Drive. During the next several weeks the people of this area will be shooting at a goal of buying $315000 worth of war bonds. That is the quota, but the quota doesn't mean a thing. During the next several weeks, all Americans will be making a special effort to buy all of the war bonds they can honestly buy. Those who do not do this cannot be called Americans in the true sense of the term. There is no reason here why we should repeat any of the reasons why you should buy war bonds. Very few persons who can read, hear or see have missed hearing these reasons in the last several years. All of us know the reasons and it is now up to the individual to determine whether or not he or she is buying enough bonds. The answer is simple. If you have been con- sidering your purchase of bonds only as a luxury, as a means of investing surplus income, then you have not been buying enough. The people who are running this war emphasize now more than ever that the American people must sacrifice if the armed might of the United States THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—]JU! NEAU, ALASKA sacrificing. If you have been buying bonds simply because certain articles have disappeared from the market and you haven't anything else to spend your money on- you have not been sacrificing If you have deprived yourself of something that is immediately available, and it is something that you need, but instead you have purchased a war bond—then you have begun to sacrifice something. And even then you are simply renpuncing some- thing that you will find is very easy to get along without for the time being, something far easier to do than what the men in combat zones are doing. Japan’s Waning Air Power (New York Times) Japan's miscalculations regarding the war were certainly matched by our own misconception of her striking power. It led us through six months of humiliating defeat. But ours were errors of judgment, the results of which could be and largely have been remedied. Japan’s miscalculations were fundamental and irremediable. One of the mest striking is her failure to estimate the development of air power. Japanesg weakness in the air is now apparent on every front Japan entered the war with a stronger air force than any of her opponents could then meet. She was able to cripple her two main enemies almost over-, night. But her rate of replacement was low. Despite frantic efforts to increase it, it has remained so in comparison with our tremendous expansion. Agitation in Tokyo for greater plane production has emphasized this weakness for the past several months., It was obvious as hostile pressure continued to grow that a point would eventually be reached at which production would fall behind loss. There are recent indications that such a point may be near. For almost a year and a half after she con- 1q\1cred her new empire Japan’s only active front was in the southwst Pacific. There she enjoyed great advantages. No matter how many planes our fliers seemed to destroy the enemy could fly in reinforce- | ments from conveniently located reservoirs not far behind the fighting line. We had to bring our own | replacements, on the other hand, from bases thousands of miles away. Gradually, however, the strain began to tell even in that limited field. Japan could no longer hold her forward airfields, but had to give them up one after another But the moment a real second front was v)penedi |in the Gilbert Islands Japan's air strength in the southwest Pacific seemed to shrink to nothing. Japa- nese air interception over New Britain almost ceased |and failed to check our invasion at Arawe. There were plainly not enough enemy planes to man two | major fronts. Yet even over her mandated islands | Japan has been weak in the air, though reinforce- | ments have been flowing into the Marshalls. In the! | Gilberts she could offer little opposition to our tre- | | mendous carrier-plane concentration. Apparently she | cannot now protect her inner islands, as our deep ! ixmvnl raids prove. Meanwhile our growing air force |in China is developing another threat. War clouds | | over Burma and the home islands also anchor what | | air strength Japan has disposed there. | tary Knox says, we are now shooting down Japanese planes wherever we meet thm at a rate of six or eight to one, the strain on Japanese production must be grave. But even now, with her weakness exposed, 1f, as Secre- | ~ ONSOUTHBOUND HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANUARY 17 Merion Cass Bonnie Klein Mrs. T. M.

The machine was to be used in attempting to establish an aerial mail service between Nenana and McGrath. The U. S. Coast Guard cutter Unalga, Capt. John Boedecker, Com- mander, was reported to have sailed from Seattle for her headquarters in this post. George Oswell, who had been Superintendent of the Ebner Mine since it came under control of the United States Smelting and Refining Company, two years previous and until it was turned over to the Alaska Juneau, left on the Princess Mary enroute to Salt Lake, where he was to do engineering work, H.

Workers will demand higher wages and the cost of liv- ing will rise sharply before Spring. NATIONAL ISSUES: Care of our own underprivileged, whose wants may be aggravated by the lack of food and fuel this year, should not diminish because of needs of for- eign war victims. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Diverse faiths and superstitions in India and Japan will foment trou- bles that may prolong ferocious fighting.

The Towa Democrat put it up ‘o Hull very bluntly that he should be the Democratic nominee for the Presidency this year. Gillette is a member of the Sen- ate Foreign Relations Committee, and went to the State Department ostensibly to discuss international questions. However, the meeting quickly got down to some straight talk about politics.
