GRANDSTAND SEATS
From the grandstsnd seats
above. American pilots annoyed
the Japs and watched while the
new garrison at Gertrude Cove on
the southern fringe Of the island
and across q volcanic ridge from
the main Kiska camp. attempted
To build their winter cover.
The constant enemy activity on
Kiska contrasted sharply with re-
ports Of observation flights over
Attn and Agattu, westernmost Of
the Aleutians.
Continued aerial reconnaissance
failed to reveal any further indi-
cation of japanese occupation at
Attu, and also none at Agattu-
although the latter fact was held
Of less Importance by observers
who said no large encampment or
Notifications have yet been OBJ
served there.
TENTS IN CRATERS
In a number Of cases recently,
Japanese soldiers on Kiska have
pitched their tents in bomb craters,
presumably for temporary shelter
from the shellackings being given
them almost daily, until they can
get their huts dug in.
The Gertrude garrison Is not
regarded by authorities as a re-
inforcement but as a normal pre-
stationary outpost to guard the
opposite side of the island from
attack. They said the outpost
would also be Of some value for
dispersal of shipping although the
cove is too small and shallow to
make a good harbor, or to base
large submarines.
Moreover, airmen said they have
seen no place here where a land
ing strip could be located for de-
tense of the garrison.
DIFFICULT TO BOMB
Surrounding hills, however,
make the Gertrude cove encamp-
ment somewhat difficult to- bomb
and strafe because they are such
that a low elevation approach can
be made in only one direcuon'
whereas planes can make runs
over the main camp In number
n directions.
Similarity between some en-
placements and structures at Ger
trude cove and those previously
observed at Attu, caused some
officers to believe the structures
have been moved there from the
apparently abandoned base.

We believe that our new
found enemy of the press, should
make a visit to the local bu-
siness establishments, public
meetings, churches and other
places where Negroes of talent
and quality assemble and get a
different slant on the news about
our people. He should remem-
Der. in his announcements OF the
type of ads which appear in the
Negro press, that they are UN-
SOLICITED but are PAID FOR

the Defender carry ads which
explain that the use Of certain
facial creams would make the

condemn them as wrong.
There is one phase of his aeti-
vities that | am very much con-
cerned with however. 1t is the NEW
economic order that he has estab-
lished among his followers. AS a
result of ii he las saved the city
of New York thousands Of dollars
in relief funds. He has opened up
stores. restaurants and other bust
ness enterprises. He has made
these people pay their debts and
live free Of crime. If for no other
reason than this | believe all the
people of Harlem could well use
his famous words peace Father.
Thus you have seen painted the
picture of Harlem, it is not the
bright brittle surface that you see
on a visit here. But community
where in spite Of its many prob
lens its people can laugh through
their tears.

Finally, may We remind our
readers that this is the same Mr..
Pcgler, who, in his column APP
peariag in the Washington Post
for Feb. y, 1912, took occasion
to hand unfair, unwise and high
ly distasteful remarks about
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, during
her battle as an executive officer
in the Office of Civilian De-
Tense. We quote:
Still serupul0usly avoiding
impoliteness, | insist that Mrs.
Roosevelt's activities have been
not helpful. but, on the whole,
very harmful. | insist that she
has been guilty of imposition
and elfrontery that, for all her
plcadings against discrimination
for creed and color. has herself
actively encouraged cruel dis
elimination against Americans
refusing to join unions, where
fore she should retire :"
The Negro press of America,
Mr.. Pegler, will continue TO
PRINT THE NEWS
1t will continue to employ ev-
cry ounce of it's energy to ex-
pose injustice, wherever it rears
its head, and point out to the
Negro people it serves as well
as the enlightened white people
who are numerous subscribers,
the errors of our great nation
with view of construetively d.
recting remedial programs with
respect thereto.
The Negro press of America,
Mr.. Pegler, does not lock with
favor upon your uncompllmen-
tary attack at time in the
week when most of its members
have already put, their paper.

streets of America" We regard
such an attack as being not I'M
fortunate to the Negro press
but unfortunate for you, whom
we had regarded as a liberal
minded writer ON the stage Of
American journalism. You may
be assured that there cannot
be found, in all the several Ne
gro newspapers, any writer
whose knowledge of the Ameri-
can way of journalism is so
shockingly lacking.
