Occupation Of Aleutians

 Of course the Japanese occupation of the Aleutan Islands is dangerous.
 Certainly, everybody, as well the three Senators who came to the North to investigate the matter, think something" should be done about it and the quicker the better.
 There is likelihood, however that the Army and Navy are not doing anything about it. Yesterdays dispatches reported the determination of American armed forces to kick the Japs out of the Aeutians It is positively amazing how readily some persons assume that men charged with conducting the mi- tary and naval affairs of this nation neglectng their business.
 Civilians may rest assured that the men who will have to fight the war anxious to do it with as little loss of lives possible. They are not going to give the Japanese any advantages without a reason.

In support Of such policies, an In

fully and most speedily attained and
be most effectively safeguarded.
The manifold tasks that lie ahead
Will not be accomplished overnight.
There will be need for plans, de-
veloped with careful consideration
and carried forward boldly and
vigorously. The vision, the resolu-
ton and the skill with which the
conditions OF peace will be estab-
lished and developed after the war
will be as much 4 measure Of mans
capacity for freedom and progress
as the fervor and determination
which men show in winning the VIC

tial If the legitimate and growing
demand for the greatest practicable
measure Of stable employment Il to
be met, accompanied by rising
standards OF living. II the actual
and potential losses resulting from
limitations on economic activity are
to be eliminated. a system must be
provided by which this can be
assured.
Excessive Trade Barriers
Must BE Reduced.
In order to accomplish this and
to establish among the nations q
circle Of mutual benefit, excessive
trade barriers of the many differ
ent kinds must be reduced, and
practices which impose injuries on
others and divert trade from its
natural economic course must be
avoided. Equally plain is the need
for making national currencies once
more freely exchangeable for each
other at stable rates OF exchange: !:
for a system Of financial relations
so devised that materials can be
produced and ways may be found of
moving them where there are mar
kets created by human need: for
machinery through which capital
may-for the development of the
worlds resources and for the stab
ilization of economic activity
move on equitable terms from finan-
cially stronger to financially weak
er countries. There may be need
for some special trade ARRANGEMENT
and for international agreements to
handle difficult surplus problems
and to meet situations in special
areas.
These are only some of the things
that nations can attempt to do as
continuous discussion and expert
ence instruct the Judgment. There
are bound to be many others. But
the new policies should always be
guided by cautious and sound judg-
ment lest we make new mistakes In
place of old ones and create new
conflicts.
Building for the future in the
economic sphere thus means that
each nation must give substance
and reality to programs Of, social
and economic progress by augment
Ing production and using the
greater output for the increase OF
general welfare but not permit
ting 1t to be diverted or checked
by special interests, private or pub
lie. It also means that each nation
must play its full part in a sys-
tenn Of world relations designed to
facilitate the production and move
ment Of goods in response to human
needs.
With peace among nations rea-
sonably assured, with political sta
bility established. with economic
shackles removed, vast fund of re-
sources will be released in each ma
ton to meet the needs of progress,
to make possible for all Of its citi-
zens an advancement toward higher
living standards, to invigorate the
constructive forces Of initiative and
enterprise. The nations of the world
will then be able to 60 forward in
the manner Of their own choosing in
alal avenues OF human betterment
more completely than they ever have
been able to do in the past. They
will do so through their own efforts
and with complete self-respect. Con-

effective cooperation with others Is
the sound and logical road to the
higher standards OF life which we all
crave and seek.
No nation will find this easy.
Neither victory nor any form OF
postwar settlement will of itself
create millennium. Rather, we shall
be offered an opportunity to elimi-
nate vast obstacles and wastes; to
make available additional means OF
advancing national and interna-

ton in the present route to elm
mate dual bus traffic on Thirty
eighth and Veazey streets NV.

by Theodore Hill and is being cir
culated throughout the area.

the association, said, The streets
are simply too narrow to accommo-
date all the buses as we'll as the

When q fish has 80 common
names you know it has been places.
This herring is called "pogy" around
the Gulf OF Maine, and other names
south of Cape Cod. Like all other
herrings it is flattened laterally and
has a sharp-edged belly until it
takes on weight, which is fat, and
then the general form is changed.
Menhaden are not very rich in
vitamins A and D. However, they
are rich in body oils. Vitamin A
Is, as you have been learning, Of
primary importance in the human
diet. Vitamin D is necessary to
growing children, and its lack re-
suits in poor bone growth, bowed
legs and low resistance to disease
OF course, we find vitamin A present
in small amounts in a great many
foods, but vitamin D Is almost en-
tirely absent from natural food
stuffs. Seafoods are an exception.
The oily bodied fish, such as mack
erel, salmon, herring, pilchard, sar-
dine and menhaden, are more
abundant, and a large quantity Of
oil could be produced from these
sources If a demand were created.

men have caught menhaden for

CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-Recent at
tempted sabotage in the Toronto
industrial area was described today
by E. j. Neild, president Of the
American Transit Engineering As
ISOLATION, in emphasizing the need
for a constant alert by local trans
portation systems against the pos
sibility Of malicious acts.
1.-THE rule books have been torn
up" he said in an address before
the National War Emergency Con-
ference Of the transit industry.
There is no referee in this game,
so transit must be prepared for a
stab in the back or rapid punch in
the neck, If, as and when the i'm
pact strikes directly at any prop
erty.
In the Toronto district in Ger
tain very, very vulnerable plants
and Adjustments fire extinguish-
ers have been discovered filled with
gasoline.
"As recently as January % of this
year, in one of our heavy indus
trial areas, some 20 fire hydrantS
have been discovered to have had
the brass spindle heads hammered
so that the fire departments
wrenches would not fit, thus pre-
venting them from turning on the
water"

bus service.
A motion by Carl T. Mack re-
afnrming the associations opposition
to any downward revision of zones
adjacent to the North Cleveland
Park area received favorable con-
sideration.
Mr.. Hill reported on the progress
of civilian defense work in the
community. announcing that some
287 wardens had been chosen and
that A had completed their Red
Cross course In first aid. He said
the greatest need was not for more
persons participating in civilian de-
Tense work but for a more intensive
training Of those already active.

haden Is easily handled. Microscopic
plants, especially diatoms and small
crustacea, are always present in the
same waters occupied by the fish.
Menhaden, fat and oily, become
too sluggish to get out Of their en-
emy's path. Schools OF these fish
naturally become the easy prey Of
almost every predaceous neighbor
that swims about looking for food.

needed for fertilizer, the fish are
known as ham and eggs" for the
reason that the dried fish flakes are
ground into meal by manufacturers
and sold to poultrymen who report
the hens lay more eggs when fed
this rich meal. Hogs also are said
to put on more weight in a short
times when placed on a semidiet OF
menhaden meal.
Menhaden are toothless, though
they possess a huge mouth which
gapes back as far as the hind mar
gin of their eyes, and the tip of
the lower jaw projects beyond the
upper one.

dark blue fish with gray or brown
tints above and silvery sides, with

is a conspicuous dusky spot on
either side close to the gill opening.
In the Gulf of Maine the abun-
dance of menhaden or the lack of
these fish from year to year has
been of great interest to the Bureau
Of Fisheries officials who have tried
to solve the mystery. 1t is generally
accepted now that the menhaden in
the Gulf of Maine appear and dis
