Midway, the Japs have taken on no heavy new com- mitment of either military or naval strength.
 These Jap occupations in the Aeutians could very we'll be a flanking against Russia as well as preparation for a major attack against North Am erica
 It is very likely that in occupying Attu klska and Agattu the Japs had several objectives in mind and these have been frustrated. It seems likely that originally they had designs the Alaskan mainland and that the stnging defeat dealt them at Midway may have forced them to be content with hanging on to what they had gained. But more than two months passed before any large attempt was made by our forces to ous the Japs from the Aleutians.
 Now it seems, fairly large naval attacks have been directed at Kiska. It seems wise to us that these attacks be continued an even larger scale until this threat to Alaska and to Russia is removed It certainly reasonable to expect that the longer the .Japs stay in the Aleutans the stronger they will become.

A NEW ANGLE

The mounting speculation in recent weeks among military observers that Japan is considering thrust at Siberia, and perhaps within the next few weeks should make the problem of clearing the 10000 Japs from the Aeutians something for immediate con sideration.
 Heretofore, the main reason for busting the in- vader from these far flung hunks of volcanic Am erican rock has been the threat to Alaska and the American Continent. Apparently the powers that be in planning the strategy of the moves of our armed forces held the opinion that if the Japs could be kept from moving out to grasp any of the more important Alaskan outposts the invader could not do much damage.
 But it seems to that with this new prob lem of defending Siberia in sight it is of the utmost importance to the entire world picture that these Alaskan Japs be wiped out.
 From where the Japs sit in the Alaska zone at present they not only in position to hamper American shipments their way to Russia via the North Pacific, but also close enough to the Ram chatka Peninsula only 600 miles from Kska to wreak considerable damage there. From Kska, the Japs range far north into the Befng Sea to try to any air link that may be set up be- tween the United States and Russia.
 At the same time, if Alaskan outposts to be used as jumping off place for an attack Japan, these Jap strongholds in the Aleutians present as buffer positions, warding off blows against the Japanese Islands from Alaska.
 Jap attack Russia at the present time, or within the next several weeks along with the threat of Hitlers armies the other side of the picture, would probably end in a great Axis victory and perhaps the crushing defeat of Russia.
 The fall of Russia would immediately loose great part of Hitlers force to repel any Allied thrust at the European continent-the second front
 The facts which have led many observers to con- clude that a Japanese attack on Siberia is immn- ent chiefly, first that weather conditions in Northwest Asia most favorable for military act- ivity during August and September, and second that the Russians being hard-pressed by Germany that their problem of supplying and eventually reinforcing their eastern forces might be expected to be extremely difficult
 In addition, there reports that fighting in China has decreased somewhat in recent weeks that Japan has large forces massed in Manchuria and far west the Gobi Desert that since the battle of

Flying Boat Fleet
(New York Times)

(New York Times)
 Henry J. Kaiser, who has shown himself to be something of industrial wizard in shipbuilding and other construction fields in the Far West has proposed that fleet of giant flying boats be built immediately by shpyards. He would have nine yards designated, three each the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf Coasts, to turn out air transports each capable of carrying to Europe at least 100 men with equip ment or equivalent cargo. MT. Kaiser believes that production could get under way in ten months. He relies, of course, the full cooperation of the air craft industry
 Leaders in that industry have long believed that flying boats of even greater size practical poss bites. Glenn Martin has gone far toward proving this by putting his successful 70ton Mars into the air. Recently he told the Society of Automotive Engineers that boat of 15O tons presented prac tical problem either aerodynamically or by reason of power plant. Igor Sikorsky has maintained con- sistently that ships built on this scale could and would be used for passenger traffic.
 Obviously there problems of tooling, materials and skilled personnel involved in such an undertak- ing. But its advantages great from the point of view of rapid transportation of men and equip ment to the fighting fronts without risk of sub marine attack, that MT Kaiser ought to have an immediate chance to prove the practicablity of his proposal

PERTAINS FUTURE

A U. s. official, back from London, tells of standing in line for breakfast at the Hotel Waldorf. Just ahead of him he heard an English lady say:
 After this war is over, we'll have to fight a war of independence to save ourselves from becoming the forty-ninth state of the United States"
 This semi good natured, semi grousing attitude, according to Am ericans returned from London, is rather typical of the apprehension which exists as to what will hap pen to Britain after the war.
 There is no hostility in this, but a realistic awareness that the war is strengthening United States ties, and weakening British ties, with Australia, Canada and Africa.
 For example, the British cast an anxious glance at the ferrying com
The Daily Alaska empire., 1942-08-17

mand across Africa. Here U. S. Army planes, delivering war mat erial to the Middle East, are bring ing Britains African empire close to Miami. It will be only natural to preserve and further strengthen these ties after the war is over.
 The same thing is happening be- tween the United States and Aus tralia. Australias destiny is being decided not by Britons but by
 Americans and Australians, under the command of an American gen. eral, Douglas Macarthur. And the supplies required for Australia are
 being sent from the United States, thus establishing trade routes not . easily broken after the war. The British also realize that, while many of their own factories are reduced to rubble heaps, U. s. industrial production is expanding as never before After the war, this production will have to find
 markets abroad, in competition with the crippled industries of Great Britain.
 On the other hand these dis cussions are inter-mingled with many expressions of gratitude and tha raoE1otiop tbot n,;tho,,t 4t..

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compel"
TUESDAY, AUGUST IS

TUESDAY, AUGUSI 10
 After the early morning benefic aspects rule today. Good news from the United States Army and Navy may be expected. In many places there may be extreme heat and violent storms.
 HEART AND HOME: Girls should find this a favorable date for con- structive or progressive work for public welfare. It is not an aus picious day for domestic tasks but diet should be carefully studieds in view of possible midsummer epi- denies affecting the digestive tract. Praise for accomplishments in fac tories will bring encouragement to many women and fame to several who have become expert in mech anics. Conservation of physical strength is imperative as the stars presage lassitude and weariness, due to weather condition in certain centers of production for war needs.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: New plants will be opened and speed in piling up masses of production in count less factories will result in mag nificent success as the month wanes. Healthful conditions in trade and improved channels for com merce are forecast. Adjustments for coming Autumn and Winter will prove promising in expediting the tremendous output of Ameri- can factories. Shipments of food to Europe and Asia will save many lives.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Conserva- tion of fuel will be much preached as the Summer ends. Wholesale provision for the welfare of chil- dren will be necessary, if the stars are rightly read, for severe Win ter in many parts of the United States is prognosticated. Woolen clothing will be much needed and again the seers advise the utmost generosity among those who have garments or materials they can give to the needy.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS s The Suez Canal will continue to cause anxiety to the United Ma tions. Naval battles again are in- dicated. Sorrow over losses of men in our fighting forces will be widespread as gains of the Allies are made at severe costs. Many miraculous escapes will be reported for airmen and men in the Navy Like July, the month of August will be noteworthy for it's aggres- sive spirit. Loss of an Ally through treachery or misunderstanding IS possible.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a month of good fortune if conservative prin- ciples dominate finances as well as romances.
 Children born on this day may be exceptional in their talents They may win success against great odds because members of their family do not recognize the signs of genius.
