Success of u. S. Submarines
Has Ironic Aspect for Jops
Weapon So Weiehty Against United Nations

cannot possibly cope with a high
scale of loss.
Patrol Boats by Hundreds.
We are turning out destroyers and
corvettes and patrol boats literally
by the hundreds; Japan has lost
already one-fourth of her destroyer
fleet, and cannot produce more OF
this class very rapidly. though she
can build a few. Japan's hope of
dealing with the submarine menace
is to keep it far away: her thrust
is in distance, not in ability to es-
cort and patrol effectively. Above
all, her trust is in a short war,
for a prolonged war she must lose.
But the submarine is pressing
closer to Japan's vital lines of COM
munication which extend southwest,
south and southeast from the Jap
anese main islands. When the
Southeastern Solomons were taken
by our marines, the japanese sea
lords saw the handwriting on the
wall. They knew. as well as any
one. what our action meant. They
knew that the Solomons were but
a stepping stone to New Guinea
and New Britain, and they knew
that, once eliminated from that
area. the japanese must fall back
on Truk. They knew that under
those conditions the Marshalls could
not be held. that Japan must draw
in her Pacific outpost lines.
And they knew that in any of
a hundred atolls, it required only
that a submarine tender should
drop her anchor in the lagoon for
the atoll to become base capable
of operating half a dozen of our
powerful sea-going submarines.
Course Of Jap Strategy. >.
The japanese strategy in the Pa
cific has been directed steadily to-
ward the goal of keeping us at
a distance from their home islands
and their vital sea lanes. They
want no aircraft over Toxic, they
want no submarines prowling along
their shipping routes. The farther
away they can keep our bases, the
less will be the efficiency with which
we can use either weapon, for both
the submarine and the aircraft are

INSULATION

In talking about Johns Manville
Rock Wool Home Insulation, we've
emphasized how it saves fuel.
Now we quote from a book pub
lished by the government. It says,
Combined with automatic heating
in cold weather, insulation does
away with early morning shivers,
eliminates chilly drafts along the
floors, cuts down house cleaning
due to dirt and dust from over
worked furnaces. In summer it
may make the difference in an up
stairs bedroom between tempera-
lures insufferable for sleeping, and
reasonable comfort" That's from
a booklet on home insulation, pub
lished by the u S. Bureau of
Mines. If you'd like a copy-and

Seeking the cooperation of Ju- neau business men to facilitate distribution of the heavy months end mail. Postmaster Albert Vile today asked merchants to address customers bills with both name and post office box number.
 Vile pointed out that statements which do not bear post office box numbers are not placed in the boxes as soon as properly ad- dressed envelopes. because the post office employees first must look up the missing box numbers.
 If statements carry the box numbers, the distribution time can be cut to about third. thus saving a heavy strain on the time spent by employees in sorting mail. It is our wish to sort the mails as rapidly as possible and I am sure that if Juneau merchants under stand this, they will cooperate fully"
 Merchants who do not have list of their customers box num- bers may obtain mailing lists by applying to the post office here, Vile sad. Under federal regulations, mailing lists will be supplied at cost of one cent per box address to any merchant submitting a list of the names which he desires addresses.
