Campaign for Burma
lNeW York Times

tNew York Times
 It is no secret that the Allies aiming blow at Burma. The monsoon rains ceasing and both sides have reported patrol clashes along the Burmese border But it will be many weeks before the water logged river valleys dry out and limited opera tions can hardly begin until Admiral Mountbatten, Allied commander in southeast Asia, returns to India from his conferences with Generassimo Chang Kai-shek.
 The map is poor guide to the coming campaign. The contiguty of northern India and Burma is de- captive On paper it may look like an easy matter to march a strong army from Assam into Burma, drive the Japanese invaders back in grand wheel ing movement and open Chinas supply routes again. But this approach is of the most difficult in the world It leads through roadess tangle of 8000foot into country which would do us very little good to regain. The strategic approach to Burma is by sea, through Rangoon and up the river valleys which slice the land into north nd-south strips. This the path of Japanese conquests.
 It is because the invasion of Burma must be chiefly arnphibious enterprise that the British have hitherto been unable to undertake it. Neither they nor we had the fleet and cargo ships to clear and bridge the Indian Ocean. With the surrender of the Italian fleet and the opening of the Medi- terranean both are now available To defend the Indian Ocean Japan will have to risk splitting her fleet, hard pressed by own in the Pacific. This is not to say that now move boldly on Ran- goon and take it by assault It will first be necessary to seize the Japanese-held Andaman and Nicobar islands as air bases. After that Admiral Mount batten may prefer the broader strategy of direct attack on the Kra Peninsula, that narrow neck of land which connects the Malay States with Thaand. This would thrust wedge between Rangoon and Singapore open the way into Thaand and Indo- China and eventually free the South China coast.
 Such ambitious project requiring huge force. may seem beyond present hope. But it is not too much to expect that before the monsoons start again next May the Allies will have made real beginning.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compel"
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6

Benefic aspects stimulating tc mental processes and promising to planners, especially to those in the great industries, rule today.
 HEART AND HOME: Elderly per sons are well directed under this configuration. This is day fol | listening when the voice of exper- fence speaks. Planetary influences are stimulating to workers of all classes. Women should follow rou- tine tasks and should pay much at tention to their homes at this time. when the men of their families will appreciate happy havens after war perils, for great numbers of those in the services-girls as we'll as boys will return to receive medical at tention.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS In the stock market there may be de- cline after a general rally under the spur of United Nations victor ies. Sharp changes may be expected but industrials should continue at tractive to investors, despite ru- mors of limitations in war produc- tion. Early shopping for Christmas will bring active trade this month to retail merchants. Many high priced luxuries will be purchased by newly rich war workers and Government contractors.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Although practical aims will be stressed in schools and colleges, the power of spiritual forces in mental processes will be more recognized. Again, lofty ideals will be suggested or emphasized in the education of the young, who must soon accept the greatest responsibilities in rebuild ing world laid waste and a civ- ilization profaned by war. Girls who must assume many tasks are under inspiring and stimulating influences.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: On many battlefronts there will be quick advances and then necessary delays. In accordance with farsee- ing and ingenious planning by the United Nations, the progress of the war will be confusing to the enemy. AS a whole, the speed of conquest will be tremendous, although the Saturn influence may retard certain movements of great potential sig nificance. Back of seeming frus- trations at times, there is an inex- orable law working steadily toward the final victory. W
 Persons whose birthdate this is have the augury of year in which finances will be more satisfactory than romances. Deceit and disap- pointment may be mixed with love raptures.
 Children born on this day pro- bably will be exceedingly fortunate in their careers, but they may be too cautious or too fearful to reach their highest possibilities.

AFL NOW AIDING
 WAR FUND DRIVE

The American Federation of Lab- or, as an organization. is solidly behind the present National War Fund drive, not only in the States but in Alaska. according to Frank Marshall, Alaska representative of the AFL, who went on the air last night in talk urging all to con- tribute in the present campaign which ends tomorrow night in this locality.
 Marshall stated that in former years. labor organizations received little if any credit for contributing to national drives but now a policy of union members being given due credit for their contributions has been established.
 Marshall told of how the AFL has purchased food and clothing, also medical supplies and sent them to Britain. Russia and China in the name of labor and also at home, taking care of soldiers wives, kin folk and children, when needed. He said labor's war relief program is reaching further than many believe but all fronts are being covered

BENEVOLENT LAPS

Filipino leaders in the United States quickly saw through Japans recent grant of independence to the Philippines in the formation of the so-called Philip pine Republic
 This was the first attempt by Japan to establish something other than a military binder of alliance between Japan and the Philippines.
 Shortly after the Jap-sponsored Republic was formed Tokyo announced the signing of pact of alliance between the Republic and Japan-to the Philippines politically economically and mitary for the successful prosecution of the of Greater East Asia,r
 Regarding this move President Quezon of the Philippines now in the United States says to his people,
 T want to remind my people who for many fidence of the following important facts First, that we are bound America by ties of loyalty and grati tude; second, that America has pledged all her re- sources and material to redeem the Philippines to expel the Japanese invaders from our land and establish and protect the Philippine Republic; third that the Congress of the United States, upon the recommendation of President Roosevelt is now con- siderng the enactment of legislation that will not only recognize the independence of the Philippines even before July l946 but will provide for the future economic security of people, and for the defense of the territorial integrity of the Philippines fourth this legislation will also provide for the financial and
