Mine APPEAL TO
RESUME MINING

Definite proof that Alaska gold
mining companies which were fore
ed to shut down as result of the
War Production Boards shutdown
order L-208, is evidenced in the
granting of an appeal to this order
by the Alaska Empire Gold Mining
Co. of Hawk Inlet.
Howard d. Stabler, President of
the company, has received notifi-
cation that his appeal has been
granted, allowing the company to
operate on basis of $500 tons a
month.
This means that priority ratings
may be had to secure restricted
materials for the operation of the
mine on this basis.

Japs Making Much
OF Vatican Telegram
10 Philippine Puppet

Daily News.
NEW DELHI, Jan. 13.-With their
customary genius for transforming
every crumb of comforting news
into loaves Of propaganda for the
home front, the Japanese are max
ing all they can out of the exchange
OF kilograms reported to have taken
place between the puppet govern
ment of the Philippines and the
Vatican.
The Japanese wishful-thinkers
persist in interpreting the exchange
as implied recognition" by the
Vatican of the Japanese-sponsored
government of the Philippines. But
the text of the Vatican message, as
reported by the official Jap news
agency, is noncommittal in its con-
tents.
Here is the Jap version Of the
communication declared to have
been transmitted to the Quisling
PHILIPPINE leader, Jose Laurel, by
Pugrilmo Piani, apostolic delegate
to the Philippines:
"His eminence, Cardinal Luigi
Maglione, Secretary of State of His
Holiness, through the apostolic del
egate to Japan, has given instruc-
tions to assure your excellency that
the Vatican received your generous
telegram announcing your induc-
ton as President of the Philippines
and to transmit to your excellency
his most sincere thanks for your
courtesy"
Predominantly Catholic.
As everybody knows, the Philip
pines are the only predominantly
Catholic country of any conse-
quence in Asia.
Having disposed of sizable por-
ton of Americas South Pacific Fleet
in imaginable naval victories of
month or so ago, japanese propa-
gandists lately have been concen-
trating their efforts on minimizing
Axis setbacks in Europe and Asia
and emphasizing the unfavorable
aspects of the news from the United
States and Britain.
One of the unavoidable conse-
quences of freedom of speech in
democracy like the United States is
that it provides the enemy with
considerable ammunition for propa-
eanda in its home bailiwick..
Americans would be surprised if
they could see how much of the
candid comment of American writer's
and radio commentators finds its
way ultimately in distorted form
into Japanese newspapers and
broadcasts.
Chief centers for the transmission
of this adverse propaganda are the
Axis news bureaus in Buenos Aires
and Lisbon. American magazines,
newspapers and news reports reach
ing those neutral capitals are closely
scanned and all items and COM
ments tending to disclose riffs or
weaknesses in the Allied camp are
torn from their contexts and duti-
fully relayed to Toxic.
Give Only Dark Side.
Buenos Aires is a particularly
prolific relay point for this sort of
thing. Hardly a day passes on
which Jap news agencies do not
cable lengthy dispatches from that
city, detailing the dark side-of
course, the dark side only-of the
American scene. In Toxic these
tidbits are interpreted to suit the
need of japanese home front propa-
ganda.
American strikes are heavily pub
licized as symptoms of disunity and
American accounts of the fanatic
Jap resistance at Tarawa and other
South Pacific backgrounds are en-
larged upon to bolster the Jap con-
tention that our losses in the South
Pacific are out of all proportion to
our gains. And so on and so on.
