G. E ~ E AL MacARTHUR'S
HEADQUARTERS, Australia,

Manuel L. Quezon has arrived in
Australia at the head of his war
cabinet to await the day when
Gen. Douglas Macarthur returns
at the head of victorious United
Nations army to free his island.
from the japanese. ii was an.
nounced today.
! A dramatic announcement. by
MacArthur's headquarters that the
veteran Filipino leader had arrived
safe with his government and his
family, after breaking through
the japanese blockade as Mac
Arthur did, was taken to be new
challenge by the United Nations
commander to the enemy and a re-
newed pledge that the islands
would be freed.
Japanese-Axis propagandists had
been putting out stories that
Quezon had died in the Philippines.
SOUGHT WHEREABOUTS
They had him dying of pneu-
monia, of apoplexy, of general de-
bility superinduced by hardships,
and as the victim of a purge
which, they said, General Mac
Arthur had ordered before he left
the Philippines.
Apparently the idea had been TO
get some one TO disclose Quezon,s
whereabouts.
II was Quezon who induced Mac
Arthur to go to the Philippines and
train a Philippine army into a
force which could defend its
country. He had left Manila with
Macarthur, and had stuck bv him
through the darkest days of the
Bataan campaign.
1t was revealed that Quezon
came to Australia with the fullest
approval of the American and
Australian governments.
The Quezon government will be
reorganized here and, as in
Bataan, its headquarters will be
with Macarthur.

Task Force At KiSka (NeW York Times)

Though the Navy describes the recent surface at- tacks on the Japanese at Kiska heavy lombard ment, the purpose of the raid undoubtedly to obtain information well to infict damage. The Aleutian fogs prevent satisfactory reconnaissance from the air but our command ought now to have fairly accurate idea of the strength and location of enemy batteries around the harbor. Moreover, the success of this attack seems to indicate that enemy airfelds are not yet functionng. Land-based planes would have provided a hotter reception.
 Such information is essential if we are to drive the Japanese out of the Aleutians. Our harassing have proved costly to the enemy. He has already lost twenty-one ships sunk put out of action. But he is too firmly entrenched to be busted by hit-and-run raids, either by air or by sea. Our task force may have destroyed the Japanese troop barracks and assured bleak Winter for the invad- But neither exposure nor hardship will get them off these islands
 Our offensive in the Solomons, however, raises a new question for the Japanese forces in Alaska The Soomons and the Aleutans represent extreme wings of single front, and Tokyo will find it significant that both attacked simultaneously. The Jap anese must think twice before diverting any naval force reserved for the defense of Kiska and its ad
 joining islands to the battle in the South Seas. Meanwhile the Russians in Siberia will also be speculatng about the American offensive in the Pacific The Japanese will hardly dare to concen- trate their full force especially in the air. along the Manchurian border if active fronts begin to develop at the far ends of the Pacific Ocean. Close the Western Aleutiaris to the American continent, they also occupy key position on the global chess board.

DARK PICTURE

If has been amazing in the last few weeks to notice the emphasis which has been given to the various plans for Utopian peace. Obviously, it is never too early to start planning for the postwar world But on the other hand, all of the eggs in the nest don't always hatch.
 The world picture today is far from bright for the United Nations Considerable emphasis has been laid on the fact that Americans, with probably a large loss of lives forcing the Japs from the Tu- lag area in the Solomons. True, victory in the solomons would go long way toward making our approaches to Australia more secure in connection with supply lines, and Australia may eventually prove to be one Of the starting points for general offensive against Japan.
 A victory in the Solomons is not large when one remembers Bataan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaga, the East Indies the uncontested occupation of the Aleutians.
 A victory in the Solomons is especially tiny when one looks at the situation in Russia. Then it is easier to realize that the great issues which bear directly upon the final outcome of the world conflict now are being decided the battlefelds of South ern Russia.
 stalingrad, namesake of Russias great leader, is in flames and Russians fighting desperately to save the city There is faint chance that the Russians still may be able to turn Hitlers advance into stalemate But that is improbable. Meanwhile, the potential crushing weight of British and Ameri can power seems to have been too long idle in es- tablishing any decisive action against the Germans in Western Europe Hitler is waging an effective war in Europe and also seems to have enough power left over keep large AEF and the air might of Brit ain and America from forming second front.
 It is obvious that if the Germans smash their way through the rich area in the Caucasus and are al lowed to the resources, the difficulties in the way of final, smashing victory by the United Na- tions will be increased many times.

AIRPLANEs TO CHINA

After some of the toughest, most persistent pleading any nation ever has made for arms, the Chinese last week were given more airplanes. The number remains a military secret. But though it was small, the Chin ese seemed vastly pleased.
 Real fact is that the Chinese American bombing attacks against the .Japs, though headlined in the press, have been accomplished with a far too inadequate force.
 To increase that force, General issimo Chiang Kai-shek has pleaded, cajoled, and even threatened. And his Foreign Minister in Washington, T. V. Soong, has even dropped hints that China could not go on fighting forever-unless she got something to fight with.
 So last weeks fresh supply of air planes relieved a tense, almost nasty situation.

They Are Russians Still
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 Are the Russian people fighting for Communism. or for their native Russia? That is question re- peatedly asked and never fully answered But the evidence points to increasing emphasis on Russian nationalism rather than Communist theology. The Russians have always been good soldiers. And the Russian people have always been intensely attached to their native soil They fight with little spirit when sent outside Russia against foreign enemies. They fight with desperate fury when defending their homeland.
 year ago Joseph Stalin produced a sensation when he appealed to his people to recall the heroic example of Peter the Great, an imperial ruler whom the Communist leaders had taught the people of Russia to despise Stalin attempting to restore Russian pride in the great history of the Russian Empire of old.
 Only last week Stain spoke again of the heroes of the old Russia in urging his people to measure up to the heroic stature traditional Russian bravery He referred in glowing terms to Alexander Navsky, Duke of Novgorod in the thirteenth century who waged war against the Swedes, Germans and Lithu- anians. He spoke of Dmtry Donsky, Duke of Mos cow who defeated the Tartars in 1888.
 Stain also recalled Minnin and Pojarsky butcher shop proprietor and military respectively of the seventeenth century, who saved Russia from an archy and defeat and chiefly responsible for the establishment of the Romanov dynasty.
 Premier Stalin has come long way from the days when any Czarist leaders name was blot history, long way from the ideas of the 1920's, when the aim of Boshevik leaders to the history of Russia prior to 1917 from the memory of the Rus sian people. The national spirit of the Russian and kindred peoples has revived at first slowly but now, under the impact of alien invasion with startling rapidity.

 Once Davis demanded that the Navy publish the complete story of what had happened in Alaska. Ad- miral Hepburn, then chief of the press section, grumbled that there was no news, but finally scratched together summary which gave 8 fairly broad picture of the Alaskan situation.
 But most of the time naval news stacks up for weeks and months, while in contrast the British per- mitted reporters to get quickly al- most every detail of the Commando raid on Dieppe.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compel"
TUESDAY SEPTEMBER l

Benefic aspects rule strongly to- day. Good news may be expected from the United Nations naval activities.
 HEART AND HOME: With the beginning of this month there should be a marked intensity of feeling regarding all that pertains to the Second World War. Fami- lies will be more concerned regard ing their duty to the nation than they have been in the past and mere alert in seeking ways of aid ing the struggle for liberty After vacations, more or less curtailed but nevertheless conductive to oblivion where public affairs are involved, extreme consciousness of perils as well as progress will be widespread.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: The out look for the Autumn is good for continued prosperity although evil dence of imitation may be noted. While financiers find causes for anxiety, the people of the United States will enjoy the sense of se- curity that good wages impart to them. Many persons will acquire sizeable bank accounts and increas- ing numbers of Government bonds Tn certain lines of manufacturing new highs in production and con- sequent profit will be reached.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Congress will be more and more affected by political preoccupation as election draws near. The American public will be critical The stars seem to indicate procrastination in legis- lative activities conducive to op- posing points of view. This is read as a fortunate date for signing i'm portant public documents or pre- pairing compacts of far-reaching influence. Loss of statesmen, Brit ish and American, is forecast for this month. Deaths from overwork and mental strain may be many in coming weeks.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Since the eclipse of the Moon, Aug ust 26, which was read as of threat ening portent to Russia, the seers forecast possible disagreements af- fecting the Soviet government. In the Balkan area increase of trou- bles affecting Turkey, Rumania and Bulgaria is indicated. Settlement of certain international disputes should ease the British situation. War expenditures will surpass even the most amazing estimates.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury. of year of fair success. It will be wise to heed lunches regarding business ven- lures.
 Children born on this day may have brilliant minds that should be carefully developed. A few will be endowed with psychic powers. Copyright, 1942)

British dignitaries recently went through the ceremony of inaugural ing a new sheriff of London. Such a ceremony in Britain normally is embellished with the ritual of the ages. People wondered, however, how it would be in the midst of war especially since the Guildhall, set ting for the ceremony, had been gutted by bombs and fire.
 But the ceremony was the same as usual. The dignitaries wore the same robes, and carried the same paraphernalia-even including the little bouquet of posies in white ruff, vistige of the old days when the foul smell of Guildhall
