NATIONAL REPRES Fourth Avenue Bldg Alaska Newspapers, 1411 NTATIVES - Wash, POST-WAR PRODUCTION Argument already is getting warm concerning what our production should be in the transition period following the close of war. One school says limit the output to the levels of 1939 for two or three years after the war. The other side says give production the reins. Fred Lazarus, Jr, head of the American Retail Federation, urges abolishing all present Federal con- trol over production wherever civilian goods can be turned out and wherever the Government can release surpluses, He states that post-war production must ! be greater than ever before, sa in support: “We cannot get a $135<billion national income out of 1939 quotas set on an $80 billion economy.” He has something there. The side favoring control of production, of course, fears that the post-war market will be glutted. Indications that the lid will come off as soon as possible are seen in the recent Baruch Report and also the Truman Report which says flatly that the “pulk of the initial war equipment and supplies will have been manufactured within 60 to 90 days. We may expect cancellations or cutbacks within a few months . . " The Navy’s Proud Record (New York Times) The report of Admiral King, Commander in Chief of the Urited States Fleet and Chief of Naval Opera- tions, presents a record of magnificent achievement of which the Navy and the country can be "justly proud. Beginning the war in weakness and disaster, the Navy has grown mightily in size and strength beyond what either n'iex)d or foe believed possible. Today it is the biggest navy in history, no longer merely our first line of defense, but our first arm of offense. Its heroism and battle sacrifices not only kept the war from the shoes of the Americas, but also cleared the oceans so that America now can deploy her full might on far-flung battlefronts. And if, as Admiral King reports, the situation of the enemy is desperate in Europe and dark and threatening in the Far East, the Navy can claim first credit for this. It helped to beat the U-boat; it stopped the Japanese advance; it opened up the way to the bases from which we can carry the war to the enemy. It is our guarantee of final victory. Yet Admiral King is the first to emphasize the revolution that has taken place in naval thinking. In the battle off Guadalcanal, the Navy engaged in what he describes as “one of the most furious sea battles ever fought”—the kind of battle which till the outbreak of this war was considered the primary fune- tion of the Navy and the only kind possible against Japan But this war, says Admiral King, has dem- H 0 R 0 S onstrated that victory depends, first, on air power, which “more often than not” predominat and, sec- “« . . ond, on amphibious operations which require the closest The stars incline coordination of land, sea and air forces. Japan’s but do not compel” | initial successes, he points out, were largely due to Japan's predominance in both these fields. But Am- erica has learned, and learned fast. the Coral Sea, the first naval engagement in which not a shot was fired by surface ves: against each other, and the decisive victory off Midway, which inflicted the first decisive defeat of the Japanese Navy in 450 years, were won by air power, and clinched the argument for it. And the necessity of advancing on both Germany and Japan from pre- liminary bases through amphibious operations fixed the character of this war. The very exigencies of these operations, Admiral King reports, have done much to promote effective cooperation between all three branches of the service, who now realize that they are’all part of one and the same United States force, to which’ Admiral King adds the recommenda- tion of a unified command. If such conditions had prevailed before the war, Pearl Harbor would have‘i been impossible. The present report canont, of course, reveal all the details of more than two years of war, in which | the Navy has played such a glorious part. But the | report on the individual battles pays well-deserved and often poignant tribute to the heroism of our| naval and air fighters who flung themselves against | the enemy, often against desperate odds, and in somei instances, as in the battle off Midway, attained a degree of self-sacrifice that put to shame the fanatical The battle of tare to prove their heroism as well HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAY 20 David Reischl Norma Ward Coxrinne Jenne Mrs. A.

No navy in the world has grown <o fast and still kept its efficiency so high. And that is a great tribute to American ingenunity and spirit. But perhaps the most salutary lesson lies in Admiral King's report on the situation at the out- break of the war. Though the menace of Germany and Japan had been rising for years, we maintained a fatal Maginot mentality of our own, thinking merely in terms of defense. We did not begin to build up our Navy until the war had actually started. And when the war finally engulfed this country, our forces were inadequate to meet the demonds in both oceans. Even without Pearl Harbor, Admiral King emphasizes, the fleet could not have proceeded to Manila without facing certain disaster. Except for submarine war- fare, we were unable to take the offensive in any theatre of war, and only what look like miracles in retrospect saved America from becoming a battlefield. That must not happen again. {Hill, but the other day Congress- | & " trality will be dropped before the jend of the war. President De Val- well as good signs are discerned.

There was every prospect that a fight was to be waged in the Senate to keep the prohibitory fish trap and purse seine amendments in the White Alaska Fish Bill, according to E. M. Ball, Agent for the Bureau of Fisheries in this district who returned here after -several months spent in bureau headquarters at Washington, D. C. Both the amendments were unfavorably reported by the Senate Committee on Commerce in bringing the House hill back to the Senate. With flags flying from deck to topmast, and Capt. C. A. Glasscock, one of the veteran navigators in Alaskan waters, proudly walking the deck in command of the vessel, the steamer Yukon arrived in port, making her maiden trip to Alaskan waters. Almost from the time of arrival until its departure to the Westward, the Yukon was inspected by Juneauites and all were pronounced in their praise of the new craft of the Alaska Steamship Company. The break-up of the ice at Nenana occurred at 3:10 o'clock May 11, the report having just reached Juneay at this date. to continue his flight. adequate marking of the landing place.
