WHAT IS NEXT?

Success of our attack Attu appears mili- tary certainty
 Eventually will also drive the Japs out of Kska TIP miles to the east, and the Aleutians will be under the American flag more.
 We may hear about the victory from the Tokyo radio instead of publicity-shy Navy Depart ment but we will have the victory.
 What happens next will tell us whether the Aleu- tian action was a purely defensive operation, or whether it is the beginning of our war against Japan; whether it's to be stop the Jap or smash the Jap.
 Our invasion of the Solomons, it appears now, was defensive operation We succeeded in stop ping the Jap offensive southward But in the three months since we completed conquest of Guadalcanal we have made no major this road to Tokyo. Our only advance has been the occupation unop- posed of nearby Russell Islands.
 In the same way driving the Japs from the Aleutians may be intended only to prevent attacks on Dutch Harbor, the Alaskan mainland and our Pacific coast.
 But there are other indications that we may be giving up the idea of fighting holding war against Japan and starting all-out drive.
 Attu is 100 miles the Japanese base of Paramushiru in the Kuriles than it is to own base of Dutch Harbor-and Attu is 500 miles nearer Tokyo than 1t is to Seattle.
 We have need to speed our war against Japan.

FRIEND OF vIERECK'S

Furthermore, Garey's partner, Raoul Desvernine was Liberty League opponent of the Presidents and had other interesting connec- tions. He also knew George Sylves- ter Viereck, at one time convicted as a Nazi agent, and now up for a second trial on June IS.
 Viereck was engaged in publish ing various anti-British, pro-Nazi books through a publishing house run by Sigfried Hauck, and Hauck later informed the Justice Depart ment that he had seen one of Desvernine's manuscripts War Is Bad Business" in Viereck's apart ment. viereck apparently was con- sidering it for publication.
 Desvernine, when subsequently, queried about this by the Justice Department, did not deny that one of his speeches had been at

Freedom of the Air
(New York Times

We have built an immense airplane industry Thousands of pilots acquiring experience in flying over nearly every ocean and continent and over routes before traversed by planes. Great Britain and Canada, though outdisanced, are also laerially strong with Russia and reformed France and other nations still to be heard from. Hence the demand of more than Congressman that we rule the air" or at least what is euphemis tcay called leadership"
 In Parliament it has been pointed out that Great Britain and her dominions and colonies control more bases than any other Power, that she is in posi- ton to exact what Lord Londonderry regards her due share" of aerial traffic. In brief submitted to the Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee of the House the National Aeronautics Association pleads for the old reciprocal agreements and adher- to the established doctrine that national sover- eighty extends to the very sky. Because our planes must fly over Canada to reach most of Asia and Europe, Mackenzie King wants place for Trans Canada Air Lines and favors international collabor- ation and cooperation" and promises to support whatever policy is best calculated to serve the m- mediate national interest" but without indicating how "our overriding interest in the establishment of an international order" is to be attained without the abolition of
 From these and other opinions it is clear that there is danger of a scramble for aerial supremacy and that governments and the executives of private companies still think in terms of national interests, war, economies and horse trading for rights What
 
 we published recently. It means new rivalres, the development of national arpane industries mot only the lead in civil aviation but also to insure that the plant and personnel for aircraft production will be on hand" if there should be other conflagration, and airnes subsidized by governments for political, economic cultural and military aggression Accordingly, he renews the familiar suggestion that there should be full freedom of the air or the right to fly any country and to land anywhere without special permission, and that the worlds aerial traffic should be controlled by an international authority
 Like the delegates who attended every dsarma- ment conference held since 1919, Lord Davies realizes that freedom of the air and incompatible and that only if there is nothing of military mpor tance to from high can "the right of inno- cent passage" be assured What, then, of our own aerial future? Our geographical position is not nearly favorable for bargaining that of Canada or Great Britain But with an international author ity to encourage the creation of arnes where they are needed and to curb senseess competition, much as it is curbed national basis by Civil Aero nautics Board and with planes flying to every ardrome in the world we have everything to gain and nothing to lose if champion control of ments and freedom of the air.

MAGNETIC MINES
 PROBLEM SOLVED

STOCKHOLM-Sw naval ex- perts, working with technicianse of the Swedish General Electric Com pany, have solved the problem of magnetic mines, they announce. The Navy has opened demagnet- izing station outside of Stockholm, on Sweden's east coast, and offers the service to merchant shipping free of charge. sae
 While technical details have not been made public. it is said the ships are treated to an electrical massage by passing through pow erful high tension fields The hull of the ship is also wired with ca bles similar to the De Gauss de- vices first used by Great Britain. Experts claim the treatment and wiring completely protects a ship against magnetic mines lying from B to 45 feet below ships hull, d. though it is not practical to com pletely eliminate the magnetic qualities of the steel masses in- volved"

States in a League of Nations might not have been such a fail- ure.
 Churchill at first tactfully side stepped comment, explaining he didn't want to stick his nose in American affairs. However, he fin ally observed with a grin that he knew & little about politics himself and probably could offer one sug- gestion.

 If the President named such a commission of outstanding leaders of both parties, the Prime Minis tel. added, his chances of winning Congressional approval of treaty among the Allied powers would be greatly enhanced.
 The idea evoked some smiles, but was generally applauded as a prac- tical suggestion.

FARLEY, ROOSEVELT AND
 MRS. R. 'a

Very few people know it. but back in l940 just after the Demo- cratic Convention in Chicago nom mated FDR for a 3rd term, Mrs Roosevelt had a friendly talk with Jim Farley to try to make peace between Jim and her husband That talk, strange as 1t may seem, has had some interesting roper cussions on an important Congress sional situation-the Congressman Cox investigation of the Federal Communications Commission.
 Mrs Roosevelt had always thought a great deal of Jim Far ley. and he had respect for her Their talk appeared to make some progress. One of the things Jim requested of Mrs. Roosevelt as a part of the reconciliation plan was that her son Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., join the law firm of his old friend Eugene L. Carey.
 Mrs. Roosevelt, anxious to please Farley, agreed So young Franklin joined the Carey law firm. This was real concession, because Carey had represented the big Wall Street enemies of young Frank lin's father, and the son of the President in any law firm means real business.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline

THURSDAY, JUNE IT

Benefic aspects rule through the busiest hours of this day. Toward evening labor comes under a threatening sign.
 HEART AND HOME: In the postwar world the desire for chil- dren will be general and planned parenthood which assures the best health for families twill be the cus- tom, the seers foretell The birth rate which has risen since the be- ginning of the war will fall off before the close of the conflict and child bearing will be a patriotic duty in the future. Science is to serve families of every class and haphazard methods of caring for children will belong to the past.
 USINESS AFFAIRS: This should be a stimulating day in the world of trade. It is most for tunate for advertising. Women are subject to sway which promises good opportunities in the profess siorls. In the coming Aquarian age they will be foremost among the lawmakers of the world, 1t is pre- dicted. Constructive work of every sort should be pushed today when the urge to extend pipe lines and to build new roads should be strong in the United States.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Through the draft, benefits will come to many Americans hitherto neglected in the expansion of education. Sur veys made for war needs now will arouse to action civilians who will promote better living conditions in American cities where women of limited means will benefit from cooking lessons. Food scarcity is to be in the end blessing to the nation which now must study nutriment values and learn wise economics.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR S.: V oAiibNO VIII sIO H. flict great damage upon cities of Germany and Italy as their air forces gain in numbers and power. The stars seem to presage amazing success through surprise offensives that are quite different from pat terms imagined by their enemies who are to suffer tremendous losses before the end of the Summer. Certain foreign seers foretell that both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts will be bombed in nuisance raids.
 Persons whose birthday it is have the augury of a year of act ivity, much of which is pleasant. Furloughs and leaves will be en- joyed by men in the armed forces.
 Children born on this day prob ably will have great personal charm that contributes to success. These Gemini folk should be talented and reliable.

SACRIFICED FpR IR.

Into this isolationist, anti-Roo- sevelt, Wall Street law firm, young Franklin Roosevelt was thrown as a sacrificial lamb-all for the sake of Jim Farley.
 But after one month, Jim began knifing the President again and it became apparent that the agree ment with Mrs. Roosevelt was off Whereupon, young Franklin was pulled out of his uncongenial sur- roundings in the Garey-Desvernine law firm. That made Eugene Carey sore as blazeS.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1943-06-16

Now, on Jim Farleys recommen- dations, Carey has been appointed counsel of the Congressional Con- mittee, conjured up by Congress man Cox of Georgia to investigate the Federal Communications Com mission, This appointment came after the Federal Communications Commission recommended criminal prosecution of Cox on a charge of accepting a $2,5O0 lobbying fee.
 At present, bitterly anti-Roose- welt Carey, and bitterly anti-FCC Cox are Investigating the agency which had the temerity to move against Cox and which still retains some semblance of Roosevelt liber- alism.
