strikes violently at the British
ports.
We are going to fight the Ger
mans with surface ships. Some
Of them are light motorbOats and
corvetteS which must operate
mainly along the coasts because
they do not have a wide cruising
radius. The main submarine
antidote remains, for the time
being at least, the destroyer and
light cruiser. TO which may be
added the airplane carrier, with
its planes, when weather condi-
tions permit the use Of this type
of weapon
The struggle is unequal If
German submarine is sunk the
NaziS can replace it, according
to reports from observers in Ger
many, in not more than nine
months. If destroyer is sunk 1t
would take us about twice that
time to replace 1t.
While the number Of American
and British deStrOyers now in
commission is a military secret,
according TO available official re-
ports. there are not more than
about 385 such Warships in the
possession Of both navies.
The British american destroyer
force in the North Atlantic bare
" exceeds l40 ships. This means
that only one-third of them are
actually on duty; another third
are on their way back to base
for cleaning and oyeIhaullng,
while the remaining third are
actually in the yards.
To these ships must be added
an unoIsclosed number Of new
units. For the time being new
American vessels which ale be-
ing commissioned are actually
relnforcements but when the
shooting war begins IN all earn
estness it is hoped that they will
be sufficient to replace losses
caused by enemy action
The Germans started the sub
marine campaign with some 500
U-5oats. if the reports Of the
British Admiralty issued few
months ago in the House Of
Commons are accurate. This is
the Nazis' nest egg and these
submarines are concentrated al
most exclusively in the North
Atlantic.
There are several small packs,
comprising between IS and IS
submarines operating in the
South Atlantic. Some 40 or 80
are believed 10 be based on
French. Belgian and perhaps
Spanish ports. Only half dozen
are reported to be operating III
the Mediterranean. Hence, ac-
cording 10 available estimates. the
.Nazis are capable of using about
10 submarines al one time in the
North Atlantic.
All these U-boatS are small. not
exceeding 500 tons. The Nazis
decided to use this type because
they require smaller personnel
The picture is not particularly
cheerful for the United States.

Theodore Roosevelt Jr, at that time Assistant Secre tary of the Navy and it's observance is sponsored annually by the league October 27 was chosen be- cause it is the birthday of former President Theo- dore Roosevelt, one of the great champions of a strong naval policy for the United States october is also the month in which the American Navy was founded in 1775 by the Continental Congress.
 For years Alaska has had Navy visits but this year the Navy is with us. Not only the Alaska bases developing and expanding rapidly but Navy recruiting parties have been through the Territory within the past few months, signing many Alaska men to serve on the seas and many others to stand by for duty in Alaska waters officers.
 With much of it's population along the seacoast Alaska is water minded and navy minded. Alaska men who earn their livelihood fishing ships and in coastal boats may find their greatest service to their country lies in the realm of Navy work
 Certainly, the most vulnerable spot for invasion in Alaska is along the coast and our most likely defense will be adequate Navy. So may the flags fly proudly Monday in honor of our Navy.

The Great Frustration
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

To those of Us who have not been inconveni- enced by gasoline rationing restrictions closing filling stations at night, the unavaing efforts of Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes to con- vince the public of the existence of gasoline shortage along the eastern seaboard have all the ingredients of high comedy.
 Ickes is a of strong determination and positive opinions He decided some months ago that there would be gasoline shortage along the eastern seaboard and began taking steps to meet it. He advocated construction of pipe line to supply the eastern refineres, asked the public vol untarily to reduce it's consumption and when this did not produce results, ordered filling stations to close from pm. to and ratoned their supplies. AS indication of his own belief that there would be a shortage, he provided his farm in Maryland with large storage tank which he said for the purpose of assuring adequate supply of fuel to operate station wagon.
 When the railroads said there 10000 tank cars available, which would more than meet the loss in carrying capacity created by the diversion of American tankers to British service Ickes said he had not been able to find the cars. When a special committee of the Senate reported there no danger of immediate shortage, Ickes said the Senators had been misnformed and charged there the pipe line construction.
 But at every turn Ickes has been baked First the Supply Priorities and Allocatons Board refused to approve the diversion of steel from armament production to pipe lines. Then the British an- nounced that because of their success in winning the Battle of the Atlantic they would turn back to the United States 10 to IS of the tankers that had been turned to them.
 On top of this, western Pennsylvania oil pro- ducers were told recently not to ship any more oil to eastern refineries because storage capacity in the east is full.
 But Ickes is not the kind to give up easily once he has set his mind to a task. He has determined | is a gasoline in he east and, hell high water he is going to convince the public by means another So 1e has announced that any tankers released by the British probably will be assigned to special defense services such carrying molasses to be used for the manufacture of ethyl alcohol which is essential in the munitions industry.
 Ickes has been known to strike out in all drec- tions with little or no provocaton. As the victim of sense of illustration, there is no telling what he may do Our advice to Washngtonans is to run, not walk, to the nearest cyclone cellar air raid shelter.
