Dutch HarbOr Is Blocked

The only town of any size is Nome, population 1.500, of which two thirds are white.
 The principal deterrent to ma jor enemy incursions is the base which Uncle Sam established for just that purpose - the Navy'S Dutch Harbor on the island of UnalaSka. From there, ships and planes can range northward to- ward the Pribilofs and Nome or south and east toward Alaska S major towns.
 If the Japanese strike north ward it will have to be soon. With few months, the Yukon and the ocean waters freeze.
 Boring Sea is as large as the Gulf of Mexico. And in fogs SC thick that a mariner often can. not see 50 yards ahead the odds against a naval patrol encounter ing an enemy invasion force are terrific. A thousand to one.

West Coast States Warned Japs May Attack from kiska
By Sam Jackson

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. -Ev- ents in Boring Sea indicate that America must be on guard az ainst a Japanese landing on the mainland of North America.
 The stepping-stone strategy of invasion which the enemy em- ployed so successfully in the bright sunlight of the tropics might be much easier when hid den by the dense fogs of Alaskan waters.
 Japanese are in possession of the tip of the bleak Aleutian is land chain with a force estimat- cd all the way from twenty or thirty tentsn to 25,O00 men. Con sidering the size and terrain of the occupied islands this latter figure Is incredible unless the Japanese are assembling a real invasion force and quartering the men on troopships.

Aleutians Played Up

The Aleutan landings provided even greater field day for Japans domestic propagandists The peo- pie have been substantially regaed with great quan- titles of eyewitness accounts, very similar to the front reports featured by the Nazi Propaganda Ministry
 The United States is presented to the Japanese as weak efeminate country without enough spirit to win a war The Tokyo radio for example, quotes Japan ese officer in the Aleutans saying "Too bad the enemy did not show enough fight And two American soldiers, asked whether American troops would ever be able to retake the islands, are said to have answer ed, Hell, no!'
 Americans are described as a pampered iazz-mad people, The Japanese the other hand are stern fol- lowers of Bushido which features frugaity loyalty sefabnegation and ilial pety.
 According to Tokyo domestic broadcast the recent edct against cuffs trousers in wartime shows the decay of American liberty, because it took away from the male the symbol of domination and the right of reedom.' The Hsinking radio in Manchuria adds that the war has dealt crushing blow to HollyWood
 The Japanese are told that the real causes of the war are () Anglo-American imperialism in the Far East (2) the Allied policy of interfering with Japans eff forts to bring peace to China and (3) the 1941 em- bargo United States shipments of military goods to Japan.
 But Japan leaves no doubt of her ambitions for world conquest The most recent authoritative state ment of Japans geopotca aims came early this year sity one of the leading geographer of Japan Speak ing over the government radio to his fellow Japanese, he said "The Pacific Ocean is a sea for Asia The Indian Ocean must also be sea for Asia The Atlantic Ocean is also part of Asia There are no Seven Seas but ons one sea and it is connected to Japan where the Sun is Rising All oceans are to be regarded great Japanese sea-"

mally expectable.

Malaria, however, is another story. Exact figures aren't avail able, but Public Health officials say the number of cases is well above the median line" for the past seven years.
 An excessively wet spring set the stage for increased mosquito prdouction. The southern half of the United States is especially vulnerable, but a continuance of good mosquito weather in north ern areas adjacent to the ''mal- aria reservoir in he South could result in extension of the disease which is carried by the Ano- pheles quadrimacultus mosquito.
 Mosquitos are extremely vul- nerable to modern control meth ods. Elimination of breeding places and knocking off the in sects in the larval stage when they're helpless in the water us ually ends epidemic threats. Householders are being taught to air the fight on these insect sab oteurs by cleaning up all tin cans and discard receptacles which might catch rainWater around their homes.
 There's every reason to believe that the insect fighters of the Public Health services will blitz the "luftwaffe" sent out by the Aedes-Anopheles axis before a major outbreak occurs.

quietly conducting eradication campaigns.

Texas newspapers have al ready voiced concern over the possibility of mosquito-borne epidemic of dengue fever, com arabic to the 1922 outbreak which made temporary invalids of half the population in some communities. What a new out break would do to the buStling ship, chemical and metals produc tion in vital Gulf Coast war plants is giving many an official gray airs right now.
 Dengue fever is also known as "bonebreak fever" Its victims feel as though they'd been run over by a truck and then tossed in a cement mixer to convalesce. It usually incapacitates sufferers six weeks or so. The culprit re- sponsible is a mosquito named Aedes aegyptis, wich also carries yellow fever.
 What makes dengue fever so hard to control, if it gets a good start, is that Aedes is a "domes- ticated" mosquito, ust as contemp tuous of man as mice and rats, and just as neighborly It breeds successfully in city areas, in con- trast to some species.
 So far, dengue fever hasn't reached serious proportions. On ly one recent weekly report show ed cases above the number nor

Tokyo Radio Warns of Long War
PEOPLE ARE PROMISED WORLD DOMINION
 FOR THEIR SACRIFICES
by Selden Menefee

WASHINGTON The Japanese Cabinet Board of Information or Propaganda Ministry is telling the peo pie of Japan to tighten their belts and prepare for long war al the end of which Japan will rule the world This is the picture of Japanese propaganda in war time that has gradually emerged from scattered re- leases put out by the Office of Facts and Figures and the Office of War Information from reports reayed by United Nations listening posts in Asia from Japanese newspapers quoted in broadcasts to North America and from accounts of Japan sent from Portuguese East Africa by American reporters the way home from the Orient
 Tokyo is constantly eXhorting Japanese farmers to raise more rice and the people at large to use less not a grain or scrap of cloth is to be wasted Lack of oil shipments from the ruined Netherlands Indies fields was suggested by recent Japanese report that way had been found to make gasoline out of rubber. And the Japanese hear promises or prediction that the war will soon be over Their leaders tell them frequent ly that hostites may go for ten to fifty 100 years
 Signs as to Morale
 A few hints of disorganization unrest to be found in the radio and press reports from Japan.
 G) Support for candidates put forward by the to- taitarian Imperial Rule Assistance Association in the election last Spring was far from unanimous fifth of them were actually defeated at the polls.
 @ The government is now trying to enhance it's popularity by sending Premier Hidshi Tojo around Japan talking to the people and making speeches, such as one he delivered in Osaka recently
 These signs cannot be interpreted showing low morale since the people of Japan receive continuous series of glowing tales of Japanese victories The Ma lavan Philippine, Netherlands Indies and Burma cam paigns taken as proof that the soldiers of the Rising Sun of supermen. Defeats are never admitted
 The Coral Sea and Midway battles were transformed by the Japanese press and radio into great victories in which the remnants of the United States fleet were said to have been destroyed

Blitz On Buzz Bugs; Aerial Sabot CUTS In Attack On Production

 WASHINGTON, Sept. -Chanc es are you haven't heard that aerial saboteurs have already at tackled U. s. war production. It's true, though. Disease carrying mosquitos are a grave threat to full poduction efficiency in many key centers.

Enemy Ship Sunk

Our navy has bombarded, sunk, and battered enemy vessels at Kiska island, but has not dis lodged the invaders.
 The most disquieting report re gently from fishermen that the Mikado's forces have taken over the Pribilofs, long famed as the soufce of the finest sealskins in the world. This report proved to be untrue
 This might indicate that in stead of heading for the popul- ous southeastern part of Alaska, the Japanese plan to seize the mouths of the Yukon and Kusko kWim rivers or to take over the immense Seward Peninsula and it's tiny metropolis" of Nome.

U. s. Bases In Southeast

To an Alaskan such a move would be described as an attack on the second and fourth judic- ial districts The other two mak ing up the mighty territory are in the southeast and account for 83 percent of Alaska population and most of its commerce.
 It is in this latter section which is protected by the big naval bases al Sitka and Kodiak, the main army base at Anchorage and various air bases and small CT installations which are a mat ter of military information.
 This area is sharply divided from the northern coastline by the 500-mile long Alaska penin- sula. which tapers off into the broken island chain of the Aleu- tians. North of the peninsula, and fronting out of Boring Sea,
 IS desolate broken coast-line stretching hundreds of miles up
 into the Arctic regions.

Rubber S Life
Extended BY
New Studies
BY G. b. LAL

DROLONGATION of the life
time" Of available. rubber
materials and reclamation and
synthesis of rubber are expected
TO be considerably aided by the
results of new scientific studies.
Temperature, vibrations. oxi-
dation, chemical impurities are
among the factors which influ-
ence the active life and service
ability of any rubber materials
Prof. Ernest A. Hauser Of the
Massachusetts Institute OF Tech
nology and William Haynes, in a
Jointly written tre q e,
'Rationed Rubber" published by
Alfred A. Knopf, summarize the
results of some Of the latest
researches on rubber for the
averafge citizen as follows:
Rubber, like your own body,
is organic material. II you con-
tract n disease and don't take
care OF II promptly, IL spreads.
Rubber, too, has its life, longer
or shorter. depending on the
type OF use, environment and the
care IL receives.
ESPEED Is the single most
- important factor in the
mileage record OF tire. When
travelling at a speed Of so miles
per hour, you abrade your tread
two-and -a-half times as fast as
when going 40 miles, or three
and-a-half times as fast than at
80 miles per hour.
Excessive speed when taking
corners causes greatest tire
wear because the traction OF the
tire must work against the cars
inertia which tends to throw IL
out of the curve.
scientific tests have shown
that the ratio OF abrasion, under
ordinary driving conditions,
varies as follows: Right front,
10 per cent: left front, Ia; right
rear, SO; left rear, % per cent.
sunlight or any light rich In
ultraviolet rays. heat and oils
and greases are rubber's deadli-
est enemy.
PROFESSOR HAUSER and
i his colleague. DR.. Desiree
S. lie Beau of the Massachu-
setts Institute of Technology,
have developed new methods for
retaining scrap rubber" both
of the natural and synthetic
varieties.
They are now aiming at de-
veloping a single process 10 take
care of all varieties of used up
rubber. Normally this country
can revive" about 100000 tons
Of used up rubber" annually.

who was democrat and aristo-
crat: who was the prairie, the
town. the city: who was both
near and remote: who was an
egoist and was yet self-sacrific-
ing: who was full Of faults and
full of virtues.
Maybe Lincoln was more than
the typical American. Maybe he
was the typical man. And. fur
Their. it may be that in thou
sand years Lincoln will have
become the symbol OF the great
est of politico-human beings in
the minds of the peoples of all
lands-not "Sun-myth" like
Napoleon, but an earth-myth.
