NO PROPAGANDA, PLEASE

One thing don't need in this country, in war in peace, is propaganda. If we have as free flow of truthful information-the straight dope-aS is consistent with military necessities, we don't need propaganda As long operate on the principle that the news unsanted, is inherent right of the citizens of this country, don't need Goebbels here.
 A few days ago. the Japanese radio came out with the announcement that their forces had pied two of the Aleutian Islands That was before June 12. On the of this Jap claim, officials of Navy Department grabbed their phones and told newsmen that the Jap broadcast was lie Our Navy Department denied that the Japs had made any kind of landing any Aleutan island.
 On Friday June 12 Navy Department came out with strange announcement. The announce ment acknowledged that the Japs had landed Attu Island, that the enemy had ships in Kska Harbor, and said the Navy, weather conditions in the around these outlying islands prevented air search operations until within the last 24 hours"
 The Navy thus let the cat out of the bag, ad- mitted that it had nothing which to base the earlier denial to the Jap radio claim Is this slant ing the news, isn't it?
 This example is by no means the first. Think back early February 27 when great battle was being fought in the Java Sea between the naval forces of the Japanese and the United Nations
 The result of this battle crushing defeat fer forces. In the number of ships sunk for the number engaged, this battle which took place February 27 between Bawean Island and Soerabaya of major disasters of the
 But the American people knew nothing of this until two weeks later. When the news given to us it was cold In the meantime the American people were fed stories which led them to believe that the Japs had taken a whale of beating at sea. deliberate Of 10 side of the picture that would have made the story of the battle true account.
 And when the results of this battle were an- nounced it hard for the American people to re- alize that had suffered defeat.
 Our government officials took great delight

AIR CORPS MET LAPS

To get a clear picture of the situation it is necessary to study the strategy of the Battle of Mid way Island. Admiral King, long one of the most minded ad- mirals in the Navy, gave the tip- off to what happened when he said that it was not wise for the U. s. Navy to follow the Jap fleet to mop up.
 They still have a lot of shore based air power" he explained, "as they found we had in the Coral Sea and at Midway"
 This was another way of saying that U. s. battleships could not get too close to Japans Marshall Islands, with their land air bases, because warships cannot stand UT under concentrated airplane attack
 It was also another way of say ing that before the Jap fleet ever got away to Midway Island it was met by reception committee large  ly of U S. Air Corps bombers which made it too uncomfortable to advance further. Shore -bascd air power" is not the Navy, but the Army; plus. in this case, small contingent of Marine Corps bomb CTS.
 Thus, reading between the lines of Admiral Kings statement it is safe speculation to piece together this picture of what happened at Midway Island
 The Japanese were advancing with what Admiral King described as the bulk" of their fleet This was estimated at eight modern battle ships and six airplane carriers which left them only about six other battleships and one other carrier to guard the far flung battle lines to Singapore and India. Ill other words, the Japs were putting most of their eggs in one basket

Indisputable fact, however is that no navy today can go near a heavy concentration of land based planes. The British super dread
 naughts Prince of Wales and Re- pulse were not able to do it. The Jap battleship Haruna was not able to do it when we still had some air strength in the Philippines. And the powerful British fleet today is not able to go near Nazi air bases on the coast of Europe
 Yet today, the Air Corps around Midway is under Admiral Nimitz;

PLANES RUSHED TO MIDWAY

Calculating our opposition to this huge armada, the Japs must have estimated that considering our losses at Pearl Harbor and our nec- essity of protecting the Atlantic, we could not match their battle ship strength in the Pacific. They had photographs of the damage done at Pearl Harbor, and they knew we had used no battleships in the battles of the South Pacific. So probably they were able to make a fairly acurate estimate of what we could muster around Midway. And the tremendous size of their own force shows they did not want to take chances.
 However, the Japs vera not able to calculate that we would get wind of their movements in advance. and that the Army would concen- trate so many of it's big bombers on Midway Island-hungry for the Jap attack.
 And reading between the lines of the Navy's statements, it is safe speculation that our air fleet, chiefly army bombers met the Jap ships 800 miles off Midway and never let them come within range of ,r battleships' big guns; also that the only U. s. naval vessels which really got into action were our sub marines. (The Japs presumably scored their hits against us with airplanes or subs.)
 In which case you can understand why the Air Corps is sore over having the Battle of Midway hailed as great naval victory, with the Admirals issuing all the victorious announcements.

land governments are not partic-
ularly worried now about post
va, problems. Their main con-
cern Is to save their territories
from invasion.
Because the United States has
its hands freer than Great Brit
ain and because this country is
the arsenal Of democracy and the
principal source Of man power
for the Pacific war, the Canberra
and Auckland governments want
to deal as directly as possible
with Washington in all matters
concerning defense OF the Pacific.
1t is obvious to all who know
the state of mind Of those two i'm
portant partners of the British
Empire that there is no question
of severing ties with London. The
desire Of Australia and New Zea-
land to have Washington as the
strategic center OF the Pacific
war is due solely to the fact that
the dominions can't afford de-
lays.
Singapore an Eye-Opener.
What Is happening at singa.
pore today has been an eye
opener for the dominions. Be-
cause the British high command
decided to chase will.o-the.wisp
Gen. Erwin Rommel, the newest
and best American and British
bombers and pursuit planes were
concentrated in Libya and only
left-overs were sent TO defend
Singapore and the Malay PENN
sula.
This strategy Is packed with
more disastrous consequences
than II the British had merely
maintained themselves in de-
fensive positions on the Egyptian
Libyan border and had sent an
adequate number OF bombers and
other types Of planes to the Far
East.

time to strike after the Japs are

the British are so hard pressed in
the defense Of Rangoon they may
have no forces to spare for such a

The Singapore garrison has
