We have before us the California En-
ployment Security Survey report for
the month of September, as issued by the
California Department of Employment.
That report shows the percentage of
women to men drawing against the Insur-

ages of 81 and 40 inclusive, there are
eight times as many women as men
drawing against this account. From the
ages of % to 30, inclusive, the percent
age is about ten to one. 1912 records at
the airplane plants and other such in

LEEDS, England, July I'll. v.
Evatt, Australian attorney general
and minister for external affairs,
said today a separate attack on every
Japanese-held island in the Pacific
would be "preposterous" and un-
necessary.
Mr.. Evatt, who arrived in Britain
three weeks ago. declared, however,
1t is essential to attack and re-
occupy some islands of crucial i'm
portance" and then apply pressure
on Japan from all directions, includ-
ing China and the Pacific.
Speaking at ceremony in which
he received the freedom Of Leeds,
the Australian official referred to
the successful "island-hopping" in
the Mediterranean and said ''it OBJ
viously is desirable in the case of
some islands in the Pacific"
I'm the Pacific as we'll as in Africa
and Europe. progress is unmistak-
able-all the world can see it," Mr..
Evatt declared. Through it all the
cooperation of your Prime Minis
ter and the President of the United
States has been a solid foundation
for future victory"
Discussing the postwar years, he
said
Our future is interviewer with
yours. Our prosperity is depend
ent on yours. 1t is the same with
the United States. The truth Is
we are members of one another-in
peace as we'll as in war.
only on one condition can we
advance to economic security while
retaining the maximum possible in
dividual liberty.
THE condition is that all British
ers in the British Commonwealth
and Empire must stick together

United States who have helped us
so much in the war"

No Breathing Spell
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer
 One criterion of successful warfare is the imme- date following through of each advantage with every available bit of power that can be mustered Failure to regard that rule probably cost the Germans the first world war and doubtless cost them the battle of Britain Now Germany hopes the Allies will fail to follow through the advantage we have gained by our recent victories over submarines They hope we will allow sufficient time for technical revampng Of the subs to return them to efficient operation.
 A Berlin naval expert in a recent article virtu- ally admitted that the submarines had lost the bat tie of the Atlantic. He argued in favor of calling all the underwater craft into port in order that they could be equipped with new devices-devices aimed at overcoming latest Allied antsub operations.
 The suggestion can hardly bear fruit. In the first place. with consant aerial poundings sub marine bases along the European coasts are not hospital for returning pig boats Even if the com manders could get berth they would find the shops where rebuilding at time would have been pos sble now of wreckage from United States and British air attack. Worllmen have been demoral- zed and the operations of the sub centers have been reduced by a large fraction.
 That isn't all. It is extremely doubtful If the Germans have yet begun to discover any strat- egy sufficient to overcome our anti-submarine cam paign Just as it took the Allies years to work out
 way to beat the underwater fighters it will take Germany years to devise methods to outmode our new discoveries Wars like that
 It looks as if the Allies would be able to take full advantage of their victories the submarine. That victory came at time when were getting set for invasion; it will advance our schedule by many weeks When time comes for the actual strik- ing, the fact that the wolf packs no longer will haunt our supply lanes will be tremendous advan- tage to our cause.
 We will follow through the advantage we have gainedwe will do it with crushing force; with ir- repressible vigor Germany expect no breathing spell for rebuilding of her underwater fleet She has had her last breathing spell between now and vic- tory Her present submarine fleet is, we hope her last between now and eternity.

OPA RULE OVERRULED

Down in the city of Tacoma, Washington, a Superior Court judge, E. F Freeman caused quite a bit of fuss when he based decision involving a landlord and tenant state law, disregarded an OPA regulation on the matter, and said:
 The OPA rent regulation is device that begins or rather carries the undermining of our consti- tutional limitations. Congress does not have the proper power under the Federal Constitution to legis late upon those matters which purely of local concern"
 The case was unimportant, but the decision is a challenge to bureaucracy.
 The court case involved tenant who contended his landlord had right to evict him for non- payment of rent nasmuch three days notice prior to court action (the OPA reguation), had not been given.
 The property owner answered he had brought the action under 1941 state law which provides that where the monthly rental is under $40 notice

BEAvERBRooK's JEWELS

The real story of the mysterious and much denied emeralds which Lord Beaverbrook allegedly gave Mrs. Harry Hopkins for wedding present can now be told.
 Lord Beaverbrook and the Hop- kinses always denied that she re- ceiyed an emerald bracelet as a wedding present and this denial was absolutely correct.
 Actually the emeralds were given to Mrs Hopkins by Jock Whitney, a long time friend whom many people expected would marry Mrs. Macy. but who married the former Mrs. Jimmy Roosevelt instead.
 Lord Beaverbrook gave the bride diamonds and therefore was quite correct in denying that he gave her emeralds.
 What happened was that Beaver brook handed Hopkins little package, explaining that it was a present for his bride. Harry put it in his pocket and did not open it until he arrived in the United States.
 Then, in order to pay customs, he sent it to jeweler for ap-
The Daily Alaska empire., 1943-08-16
INNER CIRCLE DEBATE

Whether Hopkins was ethically correct in permitting his wife to accept the gift is still subject of debate inside the inner circle. Under a law passed in the days of George Washington, no federal official is permitted to receive gift from a foreign government. This law, still on the statute books, was passed so that no government official would feel under obliga- tion to a foreign government. As a result Roosevelt has not been permitted to receive gifts of stamps for his collection, from foreign ot- ficialS.
 Actually Lord Beaverbrook was not an official of the British Gov ernment when he gave the dia- monds to Mrs. Hopkins, though ne had been in charge of obtaining airplanes and munitions from the USA. Also it was Mrs Hopkins, not her husband who received the present.
 However, since Harry is in vir- tual charge of lend-lease, many members of the Administration feel that he was ethically wrong in permitting his wife to accept the Beaverbrook present.

HOROSCOPE E "The stars incline
 bat do not compep
TUESDAY, AUGUST IT

Adverse planetary aspects are strong today which may bring dis appointing news about some phase of the war Labor again is under a portent of unrest and discontent.
 HEART AND HOME: Women today may be under nervous strain and may manifest anxiety and ap- prehenson regarding their husbands and sons who are fighting with the armed forces. The stars presage added responsibilities for Americans who will feel the real pressure of war conditions. Shortage of man power will put upon women many added tasks in which they will prove their heroism. In certain branches of secret service a few will gain great success at this time when hundreds of spies are oper- ating in the United States.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS Fifth col- un.nists will seek to undermine public confidence in the banks and the whole financial system of the United States as Fall preparations are made in the world of commerce. Astrologers warn that by using poli- tical prejudices and by playing upon partisan royalties widespread re- actions will be encouraged by enemy agents, some of whom belong to our so-called intellectuals. Early fermentation of ideas regarding next years national elections will dilute patriotism in certain quar- ters.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Strange forces that clash will erase race consciousness in some quarters and emphasize it in others. Among the American troops fighting abroad with the United Nations, real bro- therhood will be realized while among civilians at home enmities will be fomented Astrologers have prophesied repeatedly that fifth column methods would include eff forts to arouse slumbering resent ments. They forecast for the future such an increase in the cosmopoli- tan population of the United States that peace and prosperity can be maintained only by absolute ad- herence to all the ideals of Dem ocracy.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s: Although evil portents are dis cerned in today's horoscope they are merely the preface of tomor- rows victories. Announcement of valiant deeds will be made with the sad accompaniment of casualty records which the seers foreten will be comparatively small for recent weeks in which great achievements have taken place. Before the enc of the month decisive engagements will bring Hitler's defeat closer than the most optimistic have pre- dicted
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of aver age success through the year Undue worry over domestic situa- tions during the war should bt avoided.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be intuitive and extremely sensitive. These Leo natives should have rare talents.
