There were 1800 of those planes and they :were of many | types—550 Superfortresses that had flown in from |the Marianas, 30 Liberators, 30 Mitchells and about 70 fighters from the airfields on Okinawa, fighter | bombers from Iwo Jima and no fewer than a thousand {bombers, fighters and torpedo planes from Admiral William F. Halsey's Third Fleet. | For some time the American aerial offensive on !Japan had shown a steady upward trend in terms |of numbers of planes employed and bombs dropped {More than 30 Japanese cities, including such great | metropolitan centers as Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe, Yoko- |hama and Nagoya, had been laid waste by these |attacks. But nothing that had happened in the past was comparable to the recent day's assault. If any | Japanese still retained any illusions that their country |could somehow survive the bombing offensive, those |illusions must have been pretty well shattered. The scale of the attack was on a level approximating all but the most ambitious raids carried out by the Allies on Germany, -and the Japanese defenses proved | negligible Japanese air power, what there is left of it, could not challenge the American aerial invaders.

That challenge was not aken up. Although what is left of the Japanese fleet {is being hoarded against the day of an Allied invasion, |it is clear that its usefulness even in this regard is |limited in the extreme. More than ever it must be clear to Japan’s leaders that the choice facing their | country is surrender or suicide, with very little time | |left in which to choose. Then We May Forget into the one unit. In the Seventeen Nineties the Coast Guard was the main armed force of the young government and it has taken part in every war, except that against Tripoli, sincé that time. Alaska first saw the benefits of the Coast Guard in 1867 when the cutter Lincoln sailed into territorial waters, and since that time the Coast Guard has played an important part in the building of Alaska Most famous name on the Territory’s story of the Coast Guard is that of the one-time Scotch whaler | —the Bear, staunch barkentine which sailed into | Alaskan waters in 1886 under the command of Captain M. A. Healy and for more than 40 years battered the storms and ice packs performing countless tasks needed to help keep the early picneers in the realm of the living. In subsequent years additional vessels and more men were sent to Alaska, and until the outbreak of war in the Pacific the Coast Guard was the Terri- tory's foremost military service. (Seattle Times) | There is no present thought of closing any of the | | Army’s bases occupied by the Alaska Division, ner will | |there be until after final defeat of Japan. So said | Lieut. Gen. Harold I. George, chief of the Army Air | Transport Command, a few days ago, while in Edmon- | | ton, Alberta, on a northbound flight. | General George also gave Edmonton cheering as- surance that the airline route through that city to| | Alaska most surely will be maintained beyond the | |end of war because of its commercial importance. As to this he is confident the United States and I magnitude lished in the postwar period as-f trologers declare, if lasting pédce if, to be more than a dream. Elimina=| tion of prejudices regarding race or| creed is imperative under Aquarian sway.

This conjunction | perfect this month, is read as indi- | cating a surprise reverse of great| for the enemy. P‘mml this time on the conflict will show a new and terrific phase. J‘ Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of success but| it will be wise to avoid risks and to cut expenses. | Children born on this day pro-| bably will be talented and ambitious:' They should have brilliant careers® if trained to meet life’s exigencies.] (Copyright 1945) On the spot when war was declared, this branch of the service took early security measures to protect waterfront shipping facilities and instituted air patrols along with sea patrols. Convoy patrol for vessels heading for the Aleutians was another service well performed and the knowledge of Alaskan waters gained through many years of Coast Guard operations in Alaska proved valuable. Today the Coast Guard has some 170,000 men and women in its ranks throughout the world. | Canada will reach agreement. But so far as his interview with Edmonton news- | | men reveals, the general said never a word about | ! Alcan, the so-called highway which some as yet| | unidentified authority of our government ordered the | Army engineers to smash through the Canadian wilds to no good purpose whatsoever. Some day there will be a real and truly useful highway betwecen Alaska and “the States.” Then but we fear no sooner—we may be able to forget the Nearly | jrreclaimable waste of manpower and money on Alean. | The Washington Merry -Eo_- Round (Continued from Page 'One) for the nation, lazer wanted him! to be Commissioner of Internal Revenue.
