CAIRO. Egypt. April 24---If the
Allies can get one-third as many
planes as the japanese into action
in vital theaters OF the Pacific. they
can knock them right out Of the
air and hamper IL not stop alto
gether their land advances" William
ID. Pawley, co-founder of the Ameri-
can Volunteer Group now fighting
In Burma, declared today.
The feats OF the A. v. G.'s Flying
Tigers" have demonstrated. Mr..
Pawley asserted that numerical su-
periority or even equality is not
necessary TO ground the japanese
air force.
What this little group has az
compnshed is a fair indication of
what could be done. he added. if the
Allies can get large numbers Of
planes on the scene quickly. He EN-
phasized. however, that q steady
flow OF requirements and spare parts
is essential in any circumstances.

From his own observations, Mr..
Pawley declared the average jap

their allies. though he said japanese
bomber pilots-with four and one
half years Of practice in China
were excellent.
Chinese flyers. when sufficiently
trained, are more than 4 match for

Many members Of the A. ". @.
never had flown Q fighter plane be-
fore they went to Burma. although
they were familiar with other types,
Mr.. Pavley said. The fests they
have accomplished with only a few
months training therefore are all
the more remarkable.
Turning to the situation in In
dia. Mr.. Pawley said:
1T is inconceivable to me that
the Japanese viii make the mistake
Of trying to invade India. II they
DO I am convinced the Indian people
will put up much greater resistance
than is believed possible almost
anywhere I think the Indian con-
tribution to the war effort from
both a military and productive
standpoint Is much greater than

be without outside help.
"I have reason to believe" he
added, that American and British

Alaska Speed Limit Set At B Miles Per Hour

The Territorial Board of Road Commissioners, at a meeting held in the Governors Office Monday, July 6, established a maximum speed limit for the Territory of 35 miles an hour for pleasure cars and 30 miles an hour for trucks and other freight carrying vehicles.
 Since President Roosevelt has indicated that for the duration of the war 40 miles an hour should be the maximum speed for the entire nation in the interest of gasoline, oil and rubber conser- vation, 1t seems proper that AL aska, with it's unpaved highways, should set a figure of not less than 5 miles an hour under the maximum speed limit.
 This regulation will both add to the safety of life and limb on the highways and be useful con tribution to the indispensable conservation of rubber and fuel supplies, This order takes eff feet immediately and is for the duration of the war unless sub sequently modified.

u. ). and Russia Extend
Trade Pact for Year

Secretary of State Hull and Soviet
Ambassador Litvinov exchanged
notes today agreeing to continue a
f1ve-year-old commercial agreement
for another year.
Acknowledging that the agree
ment has little practical effect now,
the State Department pointed out
that Soviet-American trade during
the coming year is expected to be
governed largely by the military
requirements" of the war rather
than by usual commercial consider
atoms.
Extension of the formal agree
ment, however, will insure the con-
tinuance during the emergency
period of our established commercial
relations with the Soviet Union,"
the department said
The agreement, first signed on
August 6, 1887, and renewed annual
ly since then, pledges the United
States to give imports from Russia
any tariff concessions granted to
any other country, and provides
that the Soviet will take steps to
increase substantially its purchases
