that the Nation should mot be
diverted by discussions of what we
will do after the war has been won,

Restrictions on the normal COM

inevitable, he said, and will be-

severe before the war ends.

aircraft strafed the vessel with ma

yesterday.
Six of "a survivors, who arrived at
an East Coast port, said the attack
on their ship took place at dawn
last April 6, when lookouts sighted

vessel. Immediately. crewmen said,
the captain maneuvered his ship in
a zig-zag course and the planes first
bomb struck the water about hun
dred yards to starboard.
The plane circled once, far over
head, then zoomed straight down in
a dive, releasing second bomb as it
flattened out several hundred feet
above the ship. The bomb struck
on the port side, starting fires that
soon got out of control in spite Of
the crews formation of a bucket
brigade-and the order finally was
given to abandon ship.
AS seamen clambered into life
boats, two more enemy aircraft
suddenly appeared, attacking the
burning vessel and raking her with
machine guns. Only two crewmen
were injured, however, and three
lifeboats carrying all "a crew MEM

THE NAVY DEP A r T.
MENT has stated that recent
reconnaissance Of the two
westernmost Aleutian Islands.
Attu and Agattu, show no
signs of enemy occupancy or
activity
Last June the Japanese
seized these islands together
with Kiska.
This latter island is said 10
have one of the finest har-
bors in the North Pacific.
But. Attu and Agattu are
barren. precipitous, and de-
void Of harbor facilities. II
has been stated that even
small emergency landing fields
could not be constructed on
them.
IF THE ISLANDS Of Attu
and Agattu are not susceptible
to military use, either as
supply bases or for defense, It
lis not surprising that the
Nipponese have abandoned
them under our continuous
bombing attacks.
There can be no doubt but
that the armed forces Of the
United States now intend to
eliminate the Japanese threat
occasioned by their occupancy
of these westernmost islands.
We have what might be
termed the Pacific defense
triangle which is formed by
Alaska on the north, thence
almost due south to Hawaii,
and then east to the Panama
Canal.
The eastern line of this
triangle is the western coast
of North America and Alaska.
This triangle protects our
entire Pacific Coast. It's
theory of operation Is that
overlapping air and naval
patrols from Alaska, Hawaii,
and Panama form a continu-
Gus observation and defense
line against any advance or
attack from the west.
ALASKA is of vital stra-
tegic importance-frst, be-
cause it would be the easiest
place for the Japanese to at
tack of the three points Of the
triangle just described.
Secondly, any overseas in
vasion against US from Japan
which followed a great circle
course from Yokohama to San
Francisco would pass within
800 miles Of the Aleutian
Islands.
Thirdly, Seattle is only a
little over 600 miles by air
from Alaska. With enemy air
bases in these northwestern
possessions of our, Spokane,
Portland, San Francisco and
Salt Lake City could easily
be attacked by air.
FURTHER, LONG range
bombers could strike any
where in the western half of
Canada and TO the center Of
the United States proper. The
westernmost Aleutian Island
Is less than 700 miles east of
Japan's naval base on Para
mosmiri, which is just off the
toe Of the Kamchatka Pen
insula.
The mainland OF Alaska is
separated from Asia-Rus-
sian Siberia by only 81 miles
Of water-the Boring Strait.
Our most western outpost
the Little Diomede Island -
Is only a mile and a half dis
tant from the easternmost Rus
sian outpost - Big Diomede
Island.
This fact is one reason
Japan would like 20 invade
and capture Siberia.
THE GREAT disadvantage
of Alaska was no overland
route Of supply. Now we are
told that the Alaska defense
highway, which connects Fair
banks with Seattle, will be
completed by December 81,
months ahead of schedule.

Accomplishment

New York (JPS)-Calling Pal

told a delegation of American
Zionist leaders who called on him
here that the Zionist movement
has made the Holy Land flow a.
gain with milk and honey"
The youthful monarch had en-
joyed a protracted stay in Pales-
tine prior to his visit to the
United States. He told the group
consisting of DR.. Stephen S.
Wise, Chairman of the American
Emergency Committee for Zionist
Affairs; Judge Louis E. Levinthal,
President of the Zionist Organiza-
ton of America; Mrs. David de
Sola Pool, President of Hadassah,
and Mrs. Albert P. Schoolman,
Vice-President of Hadassah-that
he was particularly impressed
with the modern, large-scale col
onization work on land which had
long been neglected and which had
been thought to be uncultivatable.
It was heartening to see in these
days of destruction the fine spirit
and the hard work, willingly and
eagerly performed, by young men
and women whose purpose is to
build and not break down."
The King asserted that "the
Jews of Palestine who are today
fighting in British units in Egypt
and in the Raj over many areas
are brothers-in-arms of the Yugo-

and killing the foe on Yugoslav
