The pilot was saying:
(. I'VE thought the United States
Army was not prepared and so was
weaker han us, but we knew Amer
lean equipment was much, much
better than ours. What's happened
at Singapore? - Well, we thought
Singapore would be hard to take, but
the Philippines were lots simpled.
In the air 1t is not so easy. Your
American and British planes are
much faster than ours. We think
Russian pilots are not too good.
They handle their planes clumsily.
But the Americans and British come
right at you-very hard"
The japanese pilot, only Is years
old, had wrenched his back in the
chute landing, temporarily paralyz-
ng his legs Now, however, he sat
hunched up on his bed pufi1ng a
cigarette.
Il don't know whether an Amer
icau or British plane shot me down" :"
he said. Il never saw the plane.
1t came up under me suddenly.
Then my ship was in flames and a
wing fell of. Yes, this was the first
time I had been in action and my
two friends from the bomber had
never been in an air fight before. :"
When asked about the rumor that
Japanese pilots had come down in
parachutes firing tommyguns, all
three registered unfeigned surprise
When you're coming down in a
parachute you've got too much else
to worry about without shooting a
gun" the pilot said.
The pilot revealed that he did not
like Japan's much touted Zero
fighter. But he admitted that 1t
would stand rougher handling and
that there was less danger of its
wings falling of.
We remained with the three jap
anese prisoners for almost an hour
and they seemed greatly relieved by
this break in the monotony of hav-
ing no one to speak with but them
selves. They confirmed the fact
that all Japanese aviators carry
cameras. fishing equipment and
contraceptives, all of which have
been found in fallen Japanese planes
in Burma.
When leaving they urged Maj.
Merrill to revisit them.
I'm to busy, thanks to activities
of the Japanese Army" smiled the
major.
The pilot combined frankness with
courtesy in his reply.
I'VE are glad that our army is
doing so WELL" he said, but sorry
you are so busy"

Sill Closer Iie-up
OF Britain and Soviet
Forecast by Eden
Attaches importance to
ToIks on Peace and
Security After War
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. Jan. 5.-Frankly recog-
nizing the contrast between British
and Russian forms of government,
but declaring it had proved no bar
rier to cooperation in the war
against Hitlerism, Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden asserted yesterday
that still closer collaboration be-
tween London and Moscow "can and
will be realized"
In a broadcast statement on his
recent visit to the Kremlin, Mr..
Eden disclosed that his talks with
Soviet Premier Joseph Stain and
Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molo-
TOW had gone beyond the scope Of
the present conflict to embrace the
terms of peace which, he said, must
prevent any German aggression in
the future"
Mr.. Eden declared his visit had
shown Russia and Britain to be in
complete agreement on all matters
relating to the conduct of the war,
and those words. he said. "are not
mere diplomatic jargon-they tell
the literal and absolute truth"
"But personally" he added. Il at
tach as much importance to the dis
ctssions we had on the order of
peace and security after the war"
Satisfied With Progress.
Naturally, Mr.. Eden said, no final
conclusions could be reached on that
subject without intimate consulta-
tions" with the United States and
other allied nations, but he ak
pressed great satisfaction with the
progress that had been made.
The foreign secretary was warm
IN his praise for the battle being
waged by the Russians against the
German invaders and said the Red
Army was determined that the Nazis
should pay to the uttermost for the
destruction of towns, villages, farms
and factories of the Soviet Union"
He said Hitler's sudden swoop on
Russia last June mo doubt had
valuable military advantages to be-
gin with, but politically it was stark
lunacy.
Hitler united all Russia by that
one error. He made the war a cru
sade-a crusade to rid the Soviet
Union of the last German"
Still Closer Cola boration.
Voicing his conviction that still
closer political collaboration be-
tween Britain and Russia could and
would be achieved, Mr.. Eden said:
I'VE have to get rid of the legacy
OF suspicion on both sides.
There is contrast in the forms
OF government, but I will never ac-
cept that this need divide us. What
matters in foreign affairs is not the
form of the internal government of
any nation, but its international be-
havior."
Mr.. Eden said he was more than
ever convinced after his trip that the
"everlasting purpose" of the British
and Russian governments was the
same.
I'VE both wished to maintain the
peace" he said. well, we lost that
peace-but we are determined not to
lose this war nor the peace that will
follow"

Wavell, newly-named supreme COM
mander Of A. B. C. D. forces In the

In a farewell interview yesterday
before leaving New Delhi to assume

the situation IL. the Far East in some
respects to that which confronted
Britain after the fall Of France In

which the murderer, thief or cheat
can always gain against an unsus-
pecting, decent citizen" and said the
situation could not be reversed with
q single stroke.
But, ultimately. he declared. I'VE

ers from the places they have tenn

deep satisfaction with Gen. Wa
wells appointment, but it warned
that he should not be expected
to do the impossible. Typical
was the comment Of the Daily
Express, which said: "Wavell
must have arms and planes from
British and American factories.
No brilliant strategy out OF his
head can be a substitute for
them.D

KINY last evening by United

The term "alien enemy was
clearly defined as applying to any
person of Germany, Italian 81
Japanese nationality, citizens or
subjects of those countries with
which we are formally at war, who
are now living in the United
States. This applies regardless Of
whether they have lived here for

LABRET COLLECTION
IN MUSEUM COMPLETE
WITH new ADDITION

Now complete is the collection OF
labrets in the Territorial Library
and Museum Labrets are small,
carved gadgets made of ivory or
bone which high caste Indian and
Eskimo women of Alaska wore
through slit in their lower lip
during the day time in ancient days.
1t is said that because wearing
the labrets at night caused snoring
as we'll as s-comfort, the women
removed them at night and usually
had bowls in which they were
placed when not in use, according
to Edward l.. Keithhahn, Curator of
the Museum.
The, new addition, which COM
pletes the collection now on display
from all tribes up and down the
coast of Alaska, are the Chilkat
Tlinget labrets which go with the
hand hammered copper bowl re-
Gently received by the museum,
Mr. Keithhahn said.
An interesting bit of lore in con-
nection with these Tlingit labrets
is that they are made from walrus
ivory and resemble in style those
worn by the Eskimo women more
than they do those of their close
neighbors the Haidas. This would
show an unexpected association be-
tween the Tlingits and Eskimos dur
ing some time in the past, MIR.
Keithhahn pointed out.

JONES ACT IS
MODIFIED AS
REGARDS ORE
significance Regarding
Shipments in Canadian
Vessels Seen Here

OF vast Importance TO the de-
velopment of the Tungsten prop
erty which has been developed at
Hyder, Alaska, by j. H. Scott dur
ing the last few years is an order
waving compliance with certain of
tie provisions of the Marine Act,
1920, known as the Jones Act,
issued by the Department of Com
merce in January, which provides
that tungsten concentrates may be
transported on Canadian steam
ships between Stewart, B. C. and
Prince Rupert, B. c. as portion
of the transportation of those ship
ments between Hyder and the
United States where the reduction
plant is located
Previously it was necessary that
these concentrates await shipment
on American vessels from Hyder to
Seattle, and as the American boats
operating to Alaska seldom stop in
at Hyder the concentrates have
been stored on the docks Of that
place awaiting shipment since a
year ago.
With it possible for the ore to be
shipped on Canadian steamers reg
ularly operating between Stewart
and Prince Rupert the cost of
transportation of this critical metal
will be sufficiently lowered to make
it practical to place the metal of
the Hyder property on the market,
according to B. D. Stewart, Terri
torial Commissioner of Mines.
The mine at Hyder, known as
the Riverside Tungsten Mine was
developed by Mr. Scott at cost of
approximately $1OoOoOOO and is
one of the few such mines in the
country. as most of themetal used
in the United States comes from
China, Mr.. Stewart said.
Further Significance
Further significance of the order
from the Department of Commerce
is seen by several government Off
Gals who suggest that it may be
an indication of further modifica-
ton of the Merchant Marine Act
which now makes it impossible for
Canadian vessels to transport
freight from one American port to
another.
Text of the order follows.
Upon recommendation of the
Director General of the Office of
Production Management and by
virtue of the authority vested in
me by the provisions of Executive
Order No. 1916, dated December IL,

Carrington's close business asso-

back to 1915. That year he went
to Alaska as a representative OF
several Portland firms. After a
short period he went to work for

equipment, which now constitute
an important part of his business.
He also is partner in the Cariboo
