 But he believed "the Japanese naval air force at least has passed it's peak"
 Big Patrol Area
 "As for the Jap fleet" he con- tinued, they have huge areas to patrol and maybe that Is why they haven't been around our way"
 Nimitz said American bases iri the Aleutians constitute a threat and menace against the Japanese empire and serve as a protection for our interests in Alaska and the Boring Sea-"

 New U. 8. advance bases, Nimitz said, are enabling American sub- marines to remain longer at this combat stations. The work of these submarines, he added, may soon be "a controlling factor" in what the Japanese can do.

 Aid was summoned from York village and firemen poured water on the Rokey home and nearby houses to douse sparks that were carried along on stiff ocean breeze.
 Before bodies of the children could be recovered, the house had been nearly leveled. Some were found in scond-foo sleeping quar- ters while others were in c first floor bedroom.

 "There is not the slightest evi- dence that the enemy has in any way abandoned his intention to cripple our sea communications If he possibly can," he said In intro ducing navy estimates.
 "On the contrary, the Germans still are making every endeavor 10 improve the performance and equip ment of their U-boats. They have provided them with greatly increased firepower, have brought Q new acoustic torpedo into service, and we must expecte further develop ments still.
 "In I94l ono ship was lost of every l8l that sailed, in 1922 one Of every 233. in i943 one of every 344. The losses in these conveys during the second half of last year were less than one of every $l,000."
 Alexander said that little more than one-half of the working es- timate" of ships the Allies expected to lose in 1043 actually was lost and that "the average for the last eight months also is below the level of l9l8."

 Conservative sources estimated that the l76 German planes de- stroyed represented about half the number of fighters Nazi industry c'n produce monthly after the crippling blows inflicted by American bombers in the offensive against German air- craft cenetrs a fortnight ago.
 The full effects of the blitz against the fighter factories prob- ably will not be felt for several weeks because of Germany's backlog of planes and the possibility of transferring still more squadrons from other fronts, but in the long run the incessant Allied raids can be expected to drive the Luftwaffe from the skies.
 The American losses In the Berlin attack exceeded the previous re- cord of GO bombers and five fighters in the Jan. Il raids on fighter plants in central Germany.
 Stockholm dispatches said four American bombers made forced landings in Sweden yesterday. Only one of the 70 crewmen was injured slightly.
 The German high command claimed that l40 raiders, including ll8 ur-motored bombers, were de- stroyed in the Berlin attack.

They handle the technical signalling devices and secret naval codes -- and, believe 1t or not, they plot the convoy routes .. The Can. adian Govt has found them so proficient at Radar and Asdic that women are used as instructors. Nor is their work confined to intricate mechanical devices. They overhaul aircraft engines, operate power ma- chimes and actually operate the new instrument which determines errors in cannon fire.
 The newspaper you are reading probably is printed on Canadian newsprint. Canada is by far the largest producer of newsprint in the world Tn spite of her ter rife war effort, Canada is sending more newsprint to the U. s. than she did at the start of the war. A large part of It goes in direct sup port of our own war effort, because American production has declined 24 per cent and our other markets have almost disappeared .. In our crucial year of 194l Canadian pro- duction of newSprint was more than three times that of the U. Sand everybody knows how much paper bureaucrat can use.
 When the smoke of war clears, Canada will emerge aS one of the very great powers of the world -. Canada and Alaska are the air crossroads for Europ eand Asia.

Canada already has the tallest of- flee bldg. in the British Empire, the largest hotel In the British Em- pire. and the largest fishing grounds in the world The Canadian Pa cific Railway is the worlds larges transportation system and has re- sponded to the war challenge as as American transpor- tation. It also operates a fleet of ocean steamships and on expand ing number of air routes.
