Depends on Control
by United Nations

The maintenance OF these vital
lines is very tough job. 1t is a
job which requires tremendous
daring, tremendous resourceful-
ness. and, above all, tremendous
production of planes and tanks and
guns and of the ships TO carry
them. And | speak again for the
American people when / say that
we can and will do that job.
The defense or the worldwide
lines of communication demands
relatively safe use by use of the
sea and Of the air along the Vari-
Gus routes. and this. in turn, de-
ponds upon control by the United
Nations of the strategic bases
along those routes.
Control OF the air involves the
simultaneous use of two types OF
planes first. the long-range heavy
bomber. and second, light bomb
ers. dive bombers, torpedo planes,
and Short-range pursuit planes
which are essential 10 the protec-
ton of the bases and of the bomb
erS themselves.
Heavy bomberS can fly under
their own power from here 10 the
Southwest Pacific: but the smaller
planes cannot. Therefore, these
lighter planes have TO be packed
i'm crates and sent on board cargo
ships. Look at your map again

strategy--a strategy born of neces-
sity-that in the event of a full
scale attack on the islands by
Japan, we should fight a delaying
action. attempting to retire slowly
into Bataan Peninsula and Cor
regidor.
We knew that the war as a
whole would have TO be fought
and won by process Of attrition
against Japan itself. We knew
all along that, with our greater
resources, we could outbuild Japan
and ultimately overwhelm her on
sea, on land and in the air. We
knew that. to obtain our objective.
many varieties of operations would
be necessary in areas other than
the Philippines.
Nothing that has occurred In
the past two months has caused
US to revise this basic strategy
except that the defense put up by
General Macarthur has magnifi-

mates; and he and his men are
gaining eternal glory therefor.
MacArthur'S army of Filipinos
and Americans. and the forces of
the United Nations in China. in
Burma and The Netherlands East
Indies, are all together fulfilling
the same essential task. They are
making Japan pay an increasingly
terrible price for her ambitious
attempts to seize control of the

CANADA'S CONTRIBUTION
Riverside PreSS)

Canada is now to have place on the
Combined Production and Resources
board sitting at Washington, along with
the United States and Great Britain
This step has been too long delayed. Per-
haps the reason was the general lack of
knowledge in this country of the big part
Canada has been playing in the war,
economically as we'll as mllltarily.
1t is we'll to note some facts about the
Dominon's production of war materials
and general supplies. Its total manufac-
turing contribution is SO large that until
few months ago it was the chief source
of military machines sent to Britain. 1t
kept up that supply while the United
States was getting ready.
Canada has provided a large part of
the equipment used by the British in
Egypt and Libya and the near east, and
large quantities of tanks sent to Britain
for trans-shipment to Russia. 1t has
also supplied Bren guns.
Even more important are some OF the
essential minerals contributed by Can
ada. She has supplied great deal of Vi
tai material that formerly came from the
East Indies. The Dominion now provides
nearly all the nickel used by the United
States. and nearly half the aluminium
From Canada, too, come large quantities
of zinc, copper, asbestos, lead and mer-
curry, without which the United Nations
would be greatly handicapped
The people of the United Nations have
to hand it to our neighboring country
to the north for her speedy recognition
of lust what was needed of her if the
war was to be won, and as well, her all
out production of war materials and sup
plies.

Is months of the war, said today
that he considered the situation
more favorable now than last year
despite Russia's enoTmcuS territor-

The Red army is battling more
firmly and more skillfully, as

He reported that Russian induAO

they had captured, was expanding

that the army could not complain
of lack of arms in the case of the

Kalinin added that the arms in

styling firing power.
Addressing a mass meeting of
workers at Yaroslavl, northwest of

CAPITAL TALKS

Peter
Edison

First news that axis submarines
were being furnished information
by radio from Cuba en- the move
ment of United Nations ships in
western hemisphere waters was car
ried in an exclusive series of dis
patches written by Robert Ruark
for NEA Service newspapers last
June Ruark is now an ensign
ii the Navy, but the news that he
uncovered while on assignment in
Havana for this newspaper has
been officially confirmed by dis
closures Of the arrest. trial. con-
yiction and sentencing to death of
all axis agent named Luning, who
operated secret radio in Cuba to
relay information to submarines in
Caribbean waters. Luning. after his
conviction, made written confession
of the part he played in an intri-
cate network Of Nazi spies oper-
ating in Barcelona, Spain, with
agents in Santiago, Chile. who re
layed information on the ship
movements to Cuba.
The Luning case is apparently
the first conviction in a Cuban
government roundup of Nazi agents
which the Ruark disclosures helped
bring on. But as Reporter Ruark
wrote at that time, the quinqua-
columniStas were operating actively
throughout the island republic. and
charges were frequently made that
Nazi subs were not only being in
formed by radio from Cuba, but
were actually being refueled and
supplied from secret bases. So the
Luning case is perhaps only be-
ginning.
