bor blanks, at which time he ar gued privately that the United States must reserve the right to land troops on Latin American SOL if necessary.
 Hull even approached the Chilean and Argentine delegates and thought he had their support for the Am erican position of intervention. But when they surprised him by speak ing publicly against intervention, he finally came round to the original welles policy of no U. s. troops in Latin America.
 Since then, Latin American dip- lomats usually have come to see Welles, not Hull, when they wanted to get things done-another fact which has disrupted relations.
 More acid was poured in the wound during the State Department row over European refugees. The President appointed committee of distinguished citizens including the Catholic Archbishop of New Or leans to select German, Czech and Austrian refugees, many of them Jewish, for admission to this coun- try.

1 had moved out and had occupied the Andreano1 Islands, shift to bring the air bases for attack nearer the Japanese It only three days after this that it announced that the Japs had abandoned Attn Island and Agattu, but November 2e the Japanese showed up again at Attu and developed strong base.
 The first significant move of 1943 came or January 12 when troops occupied Amchtka Island and began work airbase that would be only e3 nautical miles east of Kiska-on Amchtka Island.
 few weeks later the beginning of the at tempt to bomb the Japs off Kiska Nine raids were made in February 34 were made in March, 145 raids in April 53 in May, Al in June more than 60 in July and over a hundred in the first two weeks Of August It was no wonder that the Japs decided to evacuate
 Meanwhile ground forces had been landed on Attu on May II and all enemy resistance had ceased by May 30.
 When Canadian and American troops landed on Kska August 2l, they found Jsps It is unlikely that the enemy had word that the landing force was on the way It likely that the enemy realized the impossibihty of attempting to hold postion-the target at the end of long line of American bases along which may planes coming in continuous stream.
 We corrected great mistake when we finally got around to establishing bases in the Aeutians We
  apparent that Japan building up for war against the United States our Government failed to build defense installations in the Aleutians. The second process has proved much expensive, because we have had to start from the back country and build out Ten years ago we could have started with Attu and built back.
 The Japs started to do this for us. Had they been a little more expert they might have succeeded Instead the Japs didn't complete a runway on Kiska until July g. By that time, forces had moved cut as far as Amchitka with practically no enemy opposition from the air If the Japs had constructed their Kiska and Atu airfields quickly we built our fields in the Andeanofs and at Amchitka, it would have been different story
 Early this year we had established the necessary bases which spelled defeat for the Japs in the Aleu- tians It is very likely that the Japanese realized this early this year But by holding Kska until last month they held the missing link in attack chain toward Japan from the North Pacific and gave Japan another six months for preparing meet these new blows that will soon hit the enemy from the north
 We are now back where we started from in June, I942. We have taken back what the Japs took from us in the North Pacific. We should remember that until we establish base in the Kures, we will not have the Japs in the position which they had us in when they established bases in the Aleutans. Just as the Aleutians were the beginning of the attack highway leading to the United States from the north so are the Kures the beginning of the road to Japan
 We have started our comeback trail and have reached the point where have regained lost ground Now we must press advantage and pass this point.

REFUGEES BLOCKED

The committee was set up under the supervision of Sumner Welles, and it selected 51 professors, churchmen, and government of ficials to get U. s. passport visas. Months passed and nothing happen ed Finally it was discovered that the clique in the State Department which takes orders from Huh had blocked the visas.
 Meanwhile MT. Hull had author ized the admission of 800 Bata shoe workers from German occupied Czechoslokavia despite the fact that the Bata firm was on the British blacklist) Later the firm was placed on the American blacklist and the shoe workers who had al- ready entered the country were ex- pelled)
 This and many another problem where Welles was doing job al the personal direction of the Presi. dent, and usually batting for a more liberal policy, have snarled Statt Department relations intermittent ly for years.

MRS. HULL's ROLE

But the two men got pulled apart, partly by the President hlmSen, partly by Mrs. Hull, partly by the sycophantic career diplomats who played up to Hull's pride and poured in poison against Welles.
 The President, very busy man, found it difficult to listen to Sec retary Hulls rambling, indecisive diplomatic presentations; so got in the habit of calling WelleS to the White House Welles could sum- marize a situation in France, Ger many or the Argentine in five min utes and recommend action. So Welles and the President, always his own secretary of state, grew closer and closer in handling for eign policy.
 This was one of the things which especially griped Mrs. Hull. And had 1t not been for the resentment which she and the career clique poured into the old gentleman's gull lible ears, Il is doubtful II the state Department feud would have de- veloped.
 One series of incidents which par tieularly ranked was over the Good Neigfbor policy. Welles had beer in the State Department under Charles Evans Hughes, and Welle' really developed the first seeds O. the Good Neighbor policy. For i was Welles who engineered thu withdrawal of American Marine from the Dominican Republic ant Nicaragua, and who first laid dowi the policy that American troop should not land on Latin Americal soil

CHAPTER ONE ENDED

Chapter one of the book of in the North Pacific ended with the occupation of Kiska, and the second chapter started off with bombing raids against the northern Japanese islands
 The chapter recently ended one of the strangest written A look at the back files of The Empire shows that only did our troops meet the Japanese on the ground in driving the enemy from three of the islands Air power with the help of naval forces and the use of ground troops Attu, did the job In the long run air power, alone might have pushed the Japs from the Aleutians Many enthusiasts of the latest form of warfare argued this. As 1t was the men in the air carried the bulk of the burden
 Alaskans remember that June B. l942, the fight began with the Jap attack on Dutch Harbor, Navy base and against Fort Mears, Army base. On the next day these two places were attacked again along with Fort Glenn.
 On June T, Tokyo announced Japanese forces had occupied islands in the Western Aeutians and on June II, our Navy patrol planes saw the Japs on Kiska The next day the Japs were reported on Attu and the regular attacks by air against the enemy at these two places began.
 month later, July IT, the Japanese were reported on Agattu Island.
 The enemy on these three islands were raided whenever weather permitted the long distance flights and this was not often enough. The Japs strength ened the bases and made the final phase of the battle more difficult.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 8

WEDNESDAY,. SEPTEMBER 8
 Adverse aspects rule today which may be depressing to aged persons. Disappointing war news may be made public.
 HEART AND HOME: Women should follow set programs of pub lie or home tasks which give them little time to think Nerve strain and fatigue may affect the health of many girl workers who have en- dured summer heat and missed ade- ouate vacations. Rest is enjoined by astrologers who foretell much illness in coming months Conser- vation of physical strength is Of first importance as this month ad- vances. Waste of energy must be avoided by women of all ages, for Americans must be ready to meet war at close range. Although the United States is to be the most for tunate of all nations engaged in the war the seers declare that severe l tests are indicated.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Merchants today are under harmful influences which are to end fortunately be- cause, when the worst effects of Government restrictions are mani 1 fested, needed changes in regula- tions will be made There is sign which presages domination of prac- tical methods over theoretical ven- lures. This means thorough read justments in many arms of the Government machinery. In coming weeks attention will be diverted from domestic issues to war achieve ments in which the United Nations will triumph from day to day
 NATIONAL ISSUES; Rehabilita- tion of wounded soldiers will focus attention as the conyalescence of hundreds presents problems. Wise adjustments in employment for which each is fitted will offer many perplexities, the seers point out. In the stars they observe signs that seem to presage economic questions in which women workers are con- cerned. Just treatment of the men who have suffered in the service of l the nation will be advocated more emphatically and consistently than in any previous returns of our fighters. <r
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: h. fluence of certain malefics affect ing Washington is interpreted as in- citing riots and revolutionary up- risings. In the Middle West recur- ring difficulties may be expected. Fifth columnists will take advan- tage of unrest and discontent among certain untrained and undisciplined persons and will use them in plans that include sabotage and incendiar-
 ism. it is forecast Fires of secret
 origin will break out in widely sep !. arated centers of population, astrol- ogers predict.

this decision, it is necessary to go back and understand the relation ship between Welles and Hull.
 Actually, no two men appeared to be more ideally suited for diplo- matic teamwork. Hull, now over seventy, not in good health, away from the State Department six months last year, needed a young vigorous undersecretary. He has always stated that he was not an administrator, did not want to be tied down with details, wanted to devote his time to trade treaties and major policy.

number that must be born each year in order to do so is less by 500,0O0 than the number born in 1942, and also because both infant and ma ternal mortality may be expected to continue their declines to even lower levels than those that now prevail
 The statisticians explain that while the current birth rate is not as high as in 1917, the lives of babies and mothers in the United States are far safer than they were 25 years ago. "Out of 1000 babies born alive in 1917." they say, lap proximately 95 failed to survive to their first birthday. Today deaths in the first year of life number about 45 per 1000 live births a de- crease of more than 50 per cent. And the maternal mortality rate has decreased similarly during this in- terim. In 1917 the deaths of mothers from diseases and conditions asso- ciated with pregnancy and child birth numbered 6.6 per 1000 live births. Today the rate is about 3 1000 lives births, a decrease of more than 50 per cent from the earlier figure"

New All-Time Birth
 Record In 1922
2,8OO.OOO Babies (Maybe MOre) Born in United
 States During Past Year; Rate Below 19l7's Mark

The 1942 crop of American babies at least 2,800 000-was a bumper one and exceeded in number that of any previous year in our country's history, according to the statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. Although this number is greater by at least 100000 than the previous high point for newborn infants - 2,600,000 in 1921 - the present birth rate of about 21 per 1000 although the highest in IS years, is nevertheless still below the rate of about 25 per 1000 popula- tion registered at the time of World War I.
 Tt is only the growth of the total population which, combined with the present birth rate, has resulted in q total number of births greater than, say, 25 years ago." the statis- ticians explain.
 In fact, they point out that the United States child population un- der IS years of age has declined by 3000000 in ten years-from a maximum of 36,100000 in 1880 to 33, 1000 in 1940. Adding that even the phenomenal decline in infant mortality has not by itself been sufficient to overcome the deficit created by the comparatively low birth rates prevailing in recent years" the statisticians declare that if the child population under 15 in 1850 is to be equal to at least the 1940 figure. the annual births for the next seven years must aver age about 2250 900. The statisticians believe, however that this goal can be reached, because the required
