Attorney General Biddle had or
dered that all aliens on the Pacific
coast surrender at once their short
wave radios and their cameras, in an
official "crack-down" following inn
portant news concerning japanese
and other nationals fifth-column
activities.
It also conceded with the report of
Mrs. Gail Beach, an evacuee from
Hawaii, that many of the Japanese
f1iers who attacked Pearl Harbor
December 2 had been schooled in
the islands.
She said that several who were
shot down wore rings indicating that
they had attended either the Uni
versity of Hawaii or Mckinley high
school. She said:
''They certainly knew their land
marks. They must have lived in
Honolulu
She said that newspapers and
radio constantly urged the Hawaiian
public against any demonstrations
against Japanese on the islands, and
that she saw no disturbances, al

as economic leaders, was assurance
enough that something was in the
wind.
A message from President Roose-
welt to the people of the Philip
pines pledged the aid of 'the re-
sources of the United States, Of the
British empire, of the Netherlands
East Indies, and of the Chinese Re-
public have been dedicated to the
utter and complete defeat Of
the Japanese war lords We are
engaged in a great common cause
count on every Philippine
man, woman and child to do his
duty. We will do ours"
The navy at the same time an
nounced that the fleet was already
in action following an intensive and
Well-planned campaign against the
japanese forces which will result in
positive assistance to the defense of
the Philippine islands,"
Another reason for increased
American confidence as to the out
come Of the war with Japan was
message from Secretary of War
Stimson to President Manuel Que
ION of the Philippines in which he
assured him that as soon as Ameri-
can forces were organized, the Japa-
nese invader would be driven from
the islands.
That sounded like reinforcements
by sea, land and air, reinforcements
much needed by the little army of
Americans plus a fair-sized army
of Filipinos who were giving good
account of themselves against con-
siderable odds.

back and forth between Rome, Ber-
lin and Tokyo.
Won Ribbentrop said:
"The tri-partite Powers approach
the decisive battles of 1912 con-
vinced that it will bring final victory
over their adversaries.
''Then they will work in common
for a new order in Europe and East
Asia"
He did not recall that on January
1, 1941, Hitler had said, in an ''order
of the day.:
Soldiers, the year 1941 will bring
consummation of the greatest VIC
tory of our history"
Ribbontrop blamed President
Roosevelt for aggression" which
brought Japan into the war.

Further Plans

A further bit of news which con-
tributed to the feeling in many quar-
tiers that some definite plan was
in progress was the statement by
the Australian premier that he was
now intending to go to Washington.
He said he had been assured by the
United States of complete co-opera-
ton in the war effort.
There were signs, however, that
the West coast feared that Churchill
might have persuaded the United
States to regard the Pacific war as
a minor affair and to concentrate
on the battle of the Atlantic.
Churchill indeed did say the lat
ter, but the former he did not say.

CANADA FORESTS
FIGHTING AXIS
WITH NEWSPRINT
WAR CONFRONTS THIS INDUSTRY
WITH ACUTE PROBLEM RE-
GARDuNG LABOR

Canadas forests are providing news
/ print for presses Of the fighting de-
mocracies. They are yielding vas
quantities of lumber for airport han
CARS and for camps Of the armed forces
| in Canada, Great Britain and the
United States. Canada's forests are
fighting the axis.
Japanese residents are being removed
from the forested coastal areas OF
British Columbia, and Canadian lum-
berJacks are cutting and hauling logs
for the sawmills, pulp mills and paper
mills of the vast dominion.
Along rugged mountain slopes Of
British Columbia, among evergreen
hills Of Ontario and Quebec, and
through forests Of the Atlantic border
ing maritimes, axes are swinging, saws
are screaming and men of the forests
and the mills are producing lumber
and pulpwood to aid war efforts Of
the United Nations.
Largest I'm World
War has not changed Canada's sta
tus as the largest newsprint producer
In the world, but war has greatly in
creased the significance Of that fact
Last year II percent Of the newsprint
produced on the North American con-
tinent rolled from Canadian paper
mills. The United States provided 81
percent and the remaining percent
came from Newfoundland.
Manpower presents the major prob
lem facing producers of Canadian for
est problems because so many men
have entered the armed forces or have
left the bush camps to work in war
industries turning out tanks, munitions,
airplanes and other weapons of mech
anized war
Canada's timber controller, A. s.
Nicholson, recently announced the APP
pointment Of an assistant, Mai. W. A.
Delaney of Toronto, to take charge Of
pulpwood. Prices are being vigorously
controlled in Canada, but these cell
ings do not apply to exports. Delaney
has also been appointed deputy adj
ministrator of pulpwood on the war
time prices and trade board.
War emphasizes the value of the
as a vital factor IN the life
Of democracies. 1t also makes people /
realize the value Of paper ON which
10 print them. More than 80 percent
Of Canada's exported papers are news
print. Canadians win tell you that
more than half the newspapers OF the
western hemisphere are printed on
Canadian newsprint. Since the war cut
1ff pulpwood and paper supplies from
Norway, Sweden, Finland and other
European countries, the free nations
lave turned more and more to the vast
'Orest resources OF Canada.

/ striving TO meet the challenge. Last
year they spent some $4,000OO0 i'm
proving their equipment. They are
working out ways to improve efficiency
Some have installed coal burning
boilers to save hydroelectric power.
Besides meeting increased demands
for newsprtnt, Canada's paper mills
have been called upon to produce nu-
merous special papers for war purposes,
such as wrapping papers for munitions.
They are also producing large quanti-
ties Of paper board for use In the con-
struction Of AFRAID shelters and army
camps.
Producers Of finer papers are re-
ducing the range Of sizes, colors and
weights. Standards Of some papers are
lowered because the chemicals neces-
sary to attain highest qualities are
now needed in war production.
Canada and the United States are
cooperating in an effort to assure a
continued supply Of paper at stable
price Both nations are seeking to pre-
vent repetition Of the skyrocketing
initiation that after the last war sent
the price Of Canadian newsprint wei
over 500 a ton.
Some Canadian operators hope to
increase their pulpwood supply by
working men in the woods through the
summer. Ordinarily this Is a winter job
only, one that is ended when spring
thaws open streams so logs cut during
the winter can be floated downstream
TO the mills.
Paper making in Canada is no re-
cent development. 1t goes back, in fact,
to 1908, when the first paper mill was
established at St. Andrews, Que. On
tario was then known as upper Canada,
and the first paper mill in this prov
ince was built in 1913 near the present
city of Hamilton. Maritime provinces
began paper making in 1919 when a
mill was built at Bedford Basin, near
Halifax.
Wood pulp was not used in paper
making in Canada before the 1905,
however, as these earlier papers we're |
made from rags
North Americas first wood grinder
was built at Valleyfield, Que, In 1855. |
and began making wood pulp by the
mechanical process. Chemical processes
we're developed at the same time, how
sver, a chemical mill for producing
wood pulp was established that same
rear at Windsor Mills, Que. Canada's
took place the following
rear, in 1887, Just rs years ago. and
Iince then the pulpwood and paper
production Of Canada have developed
o a major industry.

Mills said. He also added That rabbits
