The United States showed IT'S
.displeasure with the sudden break
down in the peace negotiations by
bordering most of its diplomatic

protested TO Kivimaeki against
Finland'S insistence that Finnish
volunteers fighting in Southern
Russia be permitted 10 return 10
Finland and that older Finnish
soldiers be released from military
Iduties for civilian work.
At one point, Ribbentrop was

THREAT TO COAST

The speaker asserted that the
Attu and kiSka enemy bases In
the Aleutians could be easily re-
inforced by japanese fighter
planes and homberS. and that
these can raid the west coast
III il cruel enough" Senator
Chandler said, mot to supply
Gen. Macarthur with sufficient
planes 10 make an offensive
against the Japanese in the
South Pacific, hut II is suicide
10 speculate on the safety and
security of the Australian Com
mOnwealth by failing 10 give
him adequate airpower to pre-
vent a threatened invasion of
that country"
Senator Chandler asserted that
there would be terrible conse-
.quences' if the United States failed
TO act Immediately" 10 drive the
japanese from the Aleutians and
from the area north Of Australia.
MUST BE HELPED
Asserting that Somehow, with
Gods help. Gen MacArthur's
hand must be strengthened TO such
an extent that he can carry the
war Ia the enemy in the South
Pacific" the Kentuckiah con-
tlnued:
Recently ominous warnings
have come from that direction,
estimates have been made that
there are 100000 Japanese sol
diers In the ring Of islands north
of Australia. Fleet Concentra-
lions are near enough 10 produce
the threat of an invasion to Aus
tralia.
1T seems fairly certain that
Macarthur does not have a suf-
ficient number of bomberS and
fighter planes to permit him to
carry the fight 10 the enemy
''If we have learned anything
so far in this war. we ought TO
have learned that YOU cannot
win the war on the defensive. II
Is suicide, in my opinion, 10 per-
init the Japs time to dig in In
the South Pacific"
Pointing out that the United
States is nearer Japan by 1.4O0
miles by way of the Alcutians
than by way Of Pearl Harbor, and
asserting that the Alaska area had
not been protected sufficiently
Chandler said
1T Is obvious that we were
inviting attack against this
country by way of an unde-
Tended route, l,400 miles shorter
than the route the Japs chose.
STILL IN kISKA
1--WE have not been able to
dislodge the Japanese from
kiSka. They are still there. SO
long az they remain there they
are a menace 10 all the people
Of the United States. The fail
ure 10 diSlodge them has made
the job harder.
II should like every citizen Of
