Japanese on the island were un der attack by American planes throughout the day.- However, Japanese surface forces shelled the American Installations on the north coast of the Island that night. , : The communique said Ameri can forces on Guadalcanal had reported no recent troop activ ity or enemy landings on the island. There have been no ' landings reported by the Japan ese there since October 15. .. .... As ' the enemy moved his artillery into position and placed troops and equipment at strategic spots along the island's north . shore, General Mae Arthur's headquarters In Aus tralia sent out four waves of heavy bombers to harass Nip ponese supply lines and depots in a wide sweep over the north west Solomons. Whether the vigor of these bombings, coupled with the de vastating , reception accorded enemy raiders over Guadal canal, . was delaying a frontal assault by land troops could only be conjectured. : Heavy concentrations of sup porting enemy ships in the Buin-Shortland area to the northwest were the special tar get of allied bombers which were believed to have hit three cruisers and several other ves , sels. ' v ,.. 1. ,:' A communique from Mae Arthur's headquarters, reporting the second successive night at tack on Buln, said the airdrome used by the Japanese in their Solomons operations was bomb ed heavily. "The last raid saw enemy vessels burning fiercely as the result of earlier attacks," the communique said. An indication that the Ameri can-held airfield on Guadal ' canal was still Intact despite re cent bombardments by enemy surface vessels and air raids was seen In yesterday's navy communique whieh reported that army Flying Fortresses and navy and marine corps aircraft had repeatedly attacked enemy troops assembled in force on the northwest e n d of Guadal canal.

Pierre Laval's legionnaires and members of the pro-nazi French popular front of Jacques Oorlot 1 will cooperate with the gestapo men, who will operate in small flying squads, the agency de clared: This reported move coincided with an announcement by the Paris radio that registration of all men between 18 and 50 for forced labor would begin today in the unoccupied zone under a decree issued by the Vichy gov ernment on September: 19.

Not only that, but they have to produce NEW equipment for VASTLY EXPANDING armed forces. The time will come when they will have to replace only expended material. That will be a simpler Job and will require less labor, QUB labor supply Itself is now badly managed and only par tially used. Too many people are running from place to place and so wasting time laborers going from job to job looking for better wages or working condi tions and ordinary people just "visiting around." Many busi nesses and occupations not vital ly necessary to the war effort are still hanging on but in time will succumb to the increasing pressures. Their personnel will then of necessity get into war industry. These changes have been go ing on in Britain. They will GO ON HERE. As a result of them, we shall gain immensely in the efficiency of our war effort. One of their effects will be to de crease the shortage of labor as each of us finds his proper niche in the overall job of making war. All this wlU take time. But it will be done. It will HAVE to be done. Otherwise we shall lose the war. Faced by that ter rible alternative,' we shall do gladly aU these things we MUST do.
