No one knows as yet what an atomic bomb, or several of them, can do to a battleship or a task force. It may be a long time before that matter is definitely determined. It may be that a bomb of a somewhat different character than the two used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki must be made for use in an at sea.

AL REPRESENTATIVES - Seattle, Wash. Alaska Newspapers, 1411 NATIO Pourth Avenue Bldg construction the world’s greatest navy. The first was after the Civil War. The second was after the First World War. The tragic consequences of our policy in both those post-war periods are too fresh in memory to need retelling now, especially the consequences of our ship-scrapping program after the Washington Disarmament Conference of 1922. Had the Japanesc been just a little stronger and considerably bolde: in their naval operations in 1941 and 1942, before we had built the grsat Navy we now have, our policy ot the Nineteen Twenties might have had much more disastrous consequences than it did If the atomic bomb as now constituted can be used as effectively at sea as on land, then there must be a revolution in naval thinking. The most radical ship maneuvers and the best anti-aircraft defense coula not protect a fleet from annihilation if the effect oi an atomic bomb is as great at sea as on land. But that has not been proved. It is quite possiblé that the experiment to be performed against the Nagato wil not completely answer une question. ‘There appa v is little disposition in the United States now to unduly weaken either our Army, our Air Force or our Navy as long as other nations, even friendly nations—Japan was a former war ally and Andrew Sutton Charles W.

It was learned that the members of the Rocking Moon film company had returned to Juneau and would be at the theatre, so arrangements were made to present the latest local musical composition, “Northern Lights,” by Carol Beery-Davis.
