Darwin since the conflict started in
the Pacific and the battle between
the raiders and the defenders de-
veloped into the longest dogfight
seen here and one Of the most spec
tacular.
Allied pursuit planes climbed
steeply to an extraordinary height
to beat at the foe. Long after the
planes had disappeared high in the
clouds, cannon fire and machine
cunning could be heard on the
ground.
Allied losses in the dogfighting
were light, while the japanese losses
represented the second heavy toll in
three days.
In yesterdays raid, anti-aircraft
fire broke up the enemy formations
as they reached Darwin. They then
went into formations of nine and
eight planes before being shattered
in the air battle which lasted almost
an hour.

Need for Survey Apparent.
THE need for such an exploratory
survey" said Mr.. MacIeisll, lis ap-
parent to all Librarians who have
faced the actualities Of their situa-
ton. What, indeed, Is Fascism In It's
social and cultural aspects but the
revolt Of society against Its books,
Its cultural inheritance and al the
intellectual treasures of the past?
The central problems which
plague Librarians today, In other
words. are not mere technical prob-
lens or professional problems. They
are problems upon the solution OF
which more depends than the rules
OF cataloguers, the solvency Of
library corporations or the good
repute Of the librarians profession. -
On the outcome Of these perplex-
ing questions, he pointed out, de
pends the answer to the question
Of whether the psychological climate
Of our world Is to be favorable to
fascism or to freedom, to obscur-
antism or to civilization"

He went on to say that Hitler al

from that source was impossible be-
cause the people had no weapons
with which to make 1t effective. In
addition, his advices were that Ger

'If the army or its ofiicers revolt
