One success should not only add to our determination and effort, but it should step, up precautionary measures against another blow from the enemy. Morale is on the rise In the United States. The vic tory in the Pacific, the terrific British aerial assault on German centers, and United Nations successes in Africa, have contributed- to a growing conviction that the tide c T?ir is turning our way at last. . Such may well be the case, but over-confidence has turned many a potential victory into defeat. Let us be confident, but let us remember also that the road to vic tory is still long and difficult and will require every thing we have if we travel it We are fighting an enemy that is crafty, shrewd, stub born and no respecter of conventions or high-sounding ' codes. He will get in a blow whenever and wherever he ean. He is looking for another chance right now. - Plenty to Do A FINE-LOOKING group of young men 48 of them took the oath of allegiance at Sunday's Avenge Pearl Harbor ceremony, a heartening event that was in tune Iwith the navy's successes in the mid-Pacific on the same day. One first world war veteran, looking at the V shaped group of recruits, remarked: "There is only one thing wrong with that picture, so far as I am concerned. I want to be there, too." Probably every man in the audience felt the same way. That spirit, translated into the things that can be done on the home front, will help win the war. There should be no moping by those who fail to get into the services for one reason or another. There is still plenty they ean do. Indians Ask Huge Sum for Loss of Land, Fish Rights SEATTLE, June 8 UP) Claim' faif title to virtually all of south eastern Alaska, an Indian "na tion" has launched a suit to recover $35,000,000 from the government for lands and fish ing rights appropriated by white men. Tha claimants art the Tlingits, who contend that the czar of Bussia recognized their title to Alaska's most populous region, which includes the cities of Ju neau, Ketchikan, Skagway, Pet ersburg and WrangelL The United States recognized . the title, the Tlingits contend, in the treaty of cession in 1867. . The region contains rich min ing developments and myriad fishing sites and canneries which form the territory's major in dustry. The suit was prepared by a Juneau legal firm for filing in the court of claims at Washing ton, D. C. The new suit follows by a few weeks the interior department's "Margold opinion" by Solicitor Withholding Weather News Aids Defense. Navy Says SAN FRANCISCO, June 8 UP) A Japanese naval force attack tag the Pacific coast would be at a severe disadvantage without Information on weather condi tions, the navy said today, in ex plaining why such data was withheld until it was 24 hours old, too late to be of any value to the enemy, "Let us assume what is quite possible, that a Japanese naval task force has arrived, undetect ed, 600 miles off the Pacific coast of the United States," the twelfth naval district said in a Statement. ' "It contains two aircraft car riers, two battleships, three hea vy cruisers, 11 destroyers. "Hiding In the fog bank that covers thousands of miles of the Pacific ocean adjacent to these shores, the Japanese task force faces an acute and pressing problem. - "What is the-weather like long the American coastline? On the answer to this Important question depends, In consider able part, the success of the in vaders' mission. "At full speed, the fast Japa nese ships reach the fog belt and then wait for the proper moment to strike. That moment is deter mined largely by meteorological conditions because the planes from the carriers have got to reach the coast at maximum speed and then, if possible, re turn to a rendezvous with the S4tor raiag Id) lor BipluuU ud PIm 8tmt, KttnuUi FkIU, Carrier t City Jt .ft . I ts KppmMitnf Nationally by 1 Wut.Holltdav Co.. Inc. Aaaodated Prtaa Complacency sea battle near Midway are Nathan Margold that Alaskan Indians have aboriginal or "prior possessory" rights to fish trap sites in the territory. Since that legan opinion and in the face of expressed fears of the can' ning industry at least one court test has been filed by natives. challenging the white men's pos session of trapping sites. The Tlingits, in their suit, claim title to all of southeastern Alaska except a small island do main, which they list as the land of another tribe. They contend that under Unit ed States encouragement white settlers and industries appro priated lands and waters used by petitioners from which they dug roots, hunted game, took fish and in all other respects pro duced a livelihood, and the for ests in which big game was tak en and from which they obtained timber for their canoes and buildings. ..." But no one asks that they give the land back to the Indians. They'll settle for cash. carriers which in the meantime hide from our patrols. Having crossed such vast ocean spaces, the Japanese would take every precaution to make their bombs as effective as possible. Is it better to bomb Seattle, San Francisco, or Los Angeles; the answer depends again on the weather at those cities at the time that bombing pianes couia unload their salvos. "This is the reason that the navy, the army and civilian de fense agencies take the utmost precautions to prevent anv In. formation about weather condi tions from reaching the enemy. Two More Firms Aid USO Drive With a $2000 leg on Its $6600 goal, USO headquarters Monday added two more hundred-percenters to its honor roll of bust. ness houses contributing to the urive. uney were planing mill employees of the Big Lakes Box company, and the U. S. National bank. Individual contributions continuing steadily, according to Chairman Dick Magulre, who re ported an anonymous $1 contri bution from Malln accompanied with the words: "I don't see how anyone who listens to the USO radio program could refuse to contribute. When I hear those wounded boys sending messages to their parents..." By &ulHallon j WASHINGTON. June 8 Rus sia Is pressing for a post war understanding now on ac quisition of a moderate amount of territory which she considers essential to her own defense. You can see this In the In spired news dispatches from Moscow, such as the one June 3 in the New York Times, claim' ing red rights to the Karelian isthmus, the little Baltic states of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia the part of Poland she occu pied called "White Russia," and the Bessarabian, Bukovlnian and Moldavian sections of Ro mania. The request for an under standing on this is reported on competent authority to have be come known diplomatically to London and to Washington. Obviously, even such a fair- sounding and restrained demand, cannot bs granted without cor rupting the basis on which the United States and Great Britain are conducting the war, or in fact our own form of govern' ment. Scurei promises would amount to secret treaties, and the presi dent is not empowered to make secret treaties. Our form of gov ernment requires treaties to be ratified and proclaimed by the senate. If any official of. this government made a promise, it could not be binding, and, there fore, would be worthless. But even if this were not the case, neither London nor Wash ington officials would consider it a wise policy to -start hand ing out personal promises to work after the war for se cret territorial acquisitions for friends. If the first reasonable request is granted a dangerous and embarrassing course would be opened up. Whatever diplomatic repre sentations were made by Russia can definitely be assumed to have been rejected. GAS UNLIKELY It is' not thought likely that poison gas will ever be used In this war, except in such lim ited circumstances as already reported in China and on the Russian front. , It would just not be worth while from a military standpoint for anyone to use gas bombs against cities like Washington J London, Tokyo or Berlin. To create any effect, a tremendous amount of gas would be required. Hundreds of planes would be necessary for any important raid. No military advantages would accrue because civilians alone would suffer. Why carry gas against civilians when the same number of planes can inflict real military damage with in cendiaries and explosives? Use of gas against seaside mili tary objectives like Midway, Pearl Harbor, Dutch Harbor, etc., is even more improbable. Constant sea breezes would keep ic trom Deing effective. Gas is a wholly ineffective weapon In a war of movement which this war has turned out to be in Europe and the far east. It was usable in the first world war, because then fighting was limited to trenches and posi tions were stabilized. About the only real use for It now (aside from possible at tempts at terrorization) is at points where the enemy must hold or advance through narrow places, especially low marshv ground. A retreating force espe cially, under these conditions. could effectively use gas to de lay an enemy advance. THEY'VE USED IT The Japs need not denv that they, have used gas on 70 or more occasions In their war in China. A place where they re lied heavily on this hated wea pon was at Ichang at the head of the Yangtze river. The Japs had taken that town and the Chinese were counter attacking. The Japs stopped the counter-attack by laying down a gas Darrage. Again, In recent weeks, the Japs used gas around Klnhwa. The Chinese held the city for seven days against Jap attacks uniu neavy barrages of gas shells were fired into the town. on most of the other occa sions the use was limited and In some, experimental. FEW ADVANCES It is strange, but true, to learn now, after all we anticipated about prospective gas terroriza tion in this war, that few ad vances In its demoniacal effi ciency have been made by any nation since the last war. The improvements are nothing like FOR RENT TRUCKS and BICYCLES You Drive Mora Yourstl!

Chlorine and mustard types of the world war are still the main ones. The stuff we heard about the Germans having a nerve gas which temporarily froze their adversaries on the Belgian and Dutch border was just that stuff. Both in Russia and in Japan, the enemy has used gas mostly in mortar shells at range of 300 or 400 yards. Oc casionally a withdrawing force has left gas mines behind. If anyone starts anything we are well supplied for that meth od of warfare. Gas can be pro duced easily and in great quan tities.

Farley, former post master general, met with Presi dent Roosevelt Saturday for the first time in months and said afterward that he was "satis fied that there will be no dif ficulty so far as the (guberna torial, nominee in New York state Is concerned and the dem ocratic nominee will be the next governor." Farley emerged from the White House after an hour-and- half luncheon conversation In good humor but generally non communicative. He volunteered that "I had a very nice chat about a lot of things that there Is no news in. Governor Herbert Lehman has announced he would not ac cept a nomination for another term.

From Other Editors (Palo Alto Times) A news dlsnutch Uia other day quoted a Jupancse source In reporting that American cap tives or Jupancse were being forced to work and were beaten with ropes to make them labor faster. One naturally wonders why a Jupancse spokesman would give out such a statement. Our guess is that it may bo with tho hope of Inspiring reprisals over here In our treatment of the relo cated Japanese, in which case the Japs abroad would seize upon the incidents as an excuse for really "pouring it on" In the Japanese-occupied sections. Regardless of what the Japs may do to the American or other allied nationals who become war captives, we should extend exem plary treatment to the Japanese unaer our care.
