blaekout alerts as unidentified planes are spotted. Radio stations go or the air. civilian populations are advised 10 act accordingly. On the other hand. according to the handouts. daily war is going on in the Aleutians. that is. il was going on when the reputed news release was first sent to the censor, which was anywhere from two 10 three weeks previous and Alaskans know nothing about it.
 II all adds up to lhis obvious con clusion---laek of information Alas kans are supposed t0 know nothing. see nothing and be told nothing. The military welkin rings when rumors start floating around in ear load lots. Ne are admonishea a. gainst passing along rumors. and sound advice it is. but what starts chem in the first place. Just che simple fact that Alaskans are kept in utter darkness as to what Is go- ing on in their own country.
 The faet Is that We don't know this very minute whether The laps are just around fhe elephants nose or still out in the AIeutians. Ne favor the idea that they are not anywhere hear the elephants nose or some Of our fishermen would have potted a few of them by now. but the fact remains that Alaska civilians are the least informed a. bout the war in fheir own front yard than any people on earth.
 Ne are advised by tne sundry pfopagauda bureaus which are sup posed 10 provide some intelligent information on this war. not to be jittery. If there was any better way 10 make a population jiitery than by telling them nothing. but hint ing that there is something doing. it hasn't yst been devised by man.
 Al the Alaska situation needs to make it the classic of all time in stupidity. is to have that Senate committee come up on a iunketing trip and then go back to Washing ton and issue a Iof of asinine state ments which will still reveal noth- ing.
 Despite the off heard criticism

that the American people do not realize there is a war on, the Amer lean people do know there is a war on. and. what's more important. they're out to win 1t as quickly as possible. The people Of Alaska are part of those Americans. We are all alive to the fact that this is a big job and We have to dig in to win. After all. it is just as much a civil ian war as a military war. yet the military apparently wants Us to have no part in it---or seems to doubt our ability to take it If it is news to tell how many planes and ships civilians are turning out. why isn't it news to tell how many have been lost so we'll know how much faster We must work to re- place them?
 Ne hear about unity of com mand; unity of this and that. IL strikes Us that what is needed most is unity Of purpose. The way to create that is by informing the American people of the facts about this war. We'll never have 1t until We do just that.

med the item to $3.000. Perhaps f their courage holds they may elim- mate it entirely. which to our way Of thinking, would be something to aid the war effort
 At the same time We have been reading some of the reports on what happened in the Philippines when the Japs took over Ne learn ed that the civilians in the Philip pines had no way Of knowing. ex- eept by rumor Just what was going on. It is a significant fact. often re- peated since chat civilians were carrying on in their customary ways in Manila when the Japs walked in on them. They apparent Y did not know they Were within a couple of minutes of a firing squad or concentration camp
 It strikes Us that the Philippine incident and the present Aleutian situation have much in common. Lack Of intelligent information would appear 10 be responsible in both instances. Obviously there was no "blaekout information in Man ia or one of the leading sWank ho- tels would not have been agleam with lights when the Japs came. The same holds true in Alaska The civilian population of the Territory have no way of knowing what their position is or what to do about 1t if they did. True We have civilian defense organizations set up and functioning in most of the oommua- ities. Nearly every one has a box or sand tucked away somewhere for the avowed purpose of putting out a bomb if one falls. But very few civilians in Alaska have been pro perly enlightened to make intelIi- gent use of the sand if bombs did fall for the simple reason that no civilian in Alaska. aside from the stricken areas. knows anything about the war in Alaska except by war and navy department hand outs. fcensored reputed news re- feases1 which inyaribly tell only good news, none of the bad
