First prize second Japanese Propaganda (New York Times) Celebrating the second annivers: of Pearl Har- bor, on which Japan still rejoices in her treachery, Tokyo broadcast a statement which for brazen mendacity surpasses even the best efforts of Hitler. It is so fantastic that it sounds completely ridiculous to Western ears. But it is no more ridiculous: than were some of the fulminations of Japanese spokesmen which preceded the war, or the whole Japanese pre- tension to divine descent. And it is every bit as dangerous. According to Tokyo’s account the Japanese have already defeated armies totaling 7,000,000, and killed, wounded and captured 1,375,000 enemies, while losing only 213,000 of their own troops. They have sunk or damaged 31 battleships, 39 aircraft carriers, 148 cruisers, 126 destroyers, 141 submarines and a lot of auxiliary warships, while their own losses in sunk or damaged vessels were only two battleships, four air- craft carriers, three cruisers, 27 destroy and 20 submarines. They have shot down 5,158 enemy planes, while losing only 1,203 of their own, all of which, of course, crash-dived into enemy targets, since no Jap- anese pilot would lose his life otherwise. If these achievements existed anywhere except on paper, Premier Tojo would indeed have a right to throw out his chest. But the answer to the claims is found in the figures issued on Pearl Harbor day in| Washington, which list as sunk or damaged 13 Jap- anese battleships, 17 carriers, 152 cruisers and 269 destroyers, while both the American and British navies are today stronger than ever before in their | But such an answer will not occur to Tojo's | home audience, which may be a bit skeptical of some‘ of his larger figures, but which under the circum- | stances will scarcely doubt the accuracy of the general picture it presents, even though the Emperor and the | Premier have admitted some Japanese difficulties, | doubtless to step up production. | prize-winning plan.

For due to the language | ba ., the strict thought and press control 'mmys‘ exercised in Japan and intensified during the war, and, finally, the prohibition of all radio sets capable | ! of listening to any but local Japanese stations, they ! are as effectively cut off from a real knowledge ur1 the course of the war as the man in the moon. This | situation must prevail to a large extent in the Japanese-occupied territories as well. These are the factors which make it pososiblg for Tojo to tell the Japanese anything without fear of | contradiction, and with a good chance of being be- lieved. He can pile up whopping paper victories to stimulate their fanaticism and fighting prowess, and discourage whatever resistance may rise among the conquered peoples.

But’npaung and closing dates of the SUPREME COURT BARS CON- GRESSMEN The august U. S. Supreme Court was put on the spot the other day by several Congressmen who want- ed to help argue the hot insurance case as Friends of the Court Representative Hatton Sumners of Texas first barged in by calling’ Chief Jus Stone all the way| from Dallas to say that he would like to appear before the court amicus Curiae in the insurance case. This case involves whether or not the insurance companies arej exempt from the Sherman Anti-| Trust Act and is one of the hottest issues before Congress. Representative Sumners, for some reason, has been busy-as-a-bird-dog for the insurance companies and. since he is chairman of the House | Judiciary Committee, the Supreme Court justices were inclined to view his request sympathetically However, some one also tipped off forthright Senator ‘Joe O'Ma-| honey of Wyoming and hard-hit- ting Congressman Charles La Fol-‘ lette of Indiana. They oppose the insurance companies just as vigor-| ously as Sumners champions them, | and they also wanted to argue be-| fore the court | The nine learned men hesitated | a day.

It was said the agree- iment was to be concluded in time to prevent exhaustion of the liquor supplies in the Yukon which were running low. By an unanmous vote of all members pxmem of the Juneau City Council, Councilman H. R. Shepard being the only absentee, R. E. Robertson was designated as special delegate to present to Congress Southeast Alaska's petition for division of the Territory. The Council also authorized Mr. Robertson to incur all necesssary expenses not ex- ceeding $2,000 and appropriated for immediate use $1,500 of that amount. HE EMPIRE Alaska’s 1923 salmon pack for all districts aggregated 5,037,805 cases, or 12,195 cases less than was estimated the previous September by bureau officials. Strawberry culture had been given much attention in Alaska by the U. 8. Department of Agriculture where there were many small tracts of land in the valleys, bays, coves and inlets which were suitable for farming on a small scale and especially for gardening. Experimental work at the Alaska stations had resulted in the development of a number of excellent varieties suitable to Alaskan conditions of soil and climate, Max Pittshman, who had been operating a movie house at £llens- burg, Wash., for over a year, was returning to Juneau on the North- western accompanied by Mrs. Pittshmann. He was to be employed in his old positions at the Alaska Film Exchange and at the Coliszum Theatre.
