ENEMY IN
PACIFIC
To those who believe
that the end of the conflict
in Europe will mean also a
speedy defeat of the enemy
in the Pacific, the Chinese
Minister of Information, H
C. Liang, has this to say: |
“While we admit the i
liquidation of Germany will
undoubtedly inflict a mor-l
tal blow upon the Japanese
morale, the triumph of Al
lied arms in Europe will
not change Japan’s defense
plans.
No one who has a work-;
ing knowledge of the his
tory and national charac
tor of the Japanese people
will cherish the illusion of
their unconditional sur
render before their war
machines are totally and;
effectively crushed under
overwhelmingly weight of
Allied arms, to bring
Japan to her knees entails
further costly sacrifices on
our part and there will be
many a hurdle to jump
over along the hard and ar
duous road of victory.
“JapJjn may possibly
try to play up a peace bal
loon at the time of military
reverses, but it will not be '
an honest gesture; rather
p* 1 — --

we should read in any such
Japanese move a deliberat
attempt to put the Allies
off their guard and slacken
: heir war efforts.
“It is now apparent that
Japian is still clinging to
the preposterous idea that
she could save her totter
ing empire by staking all
she has on a last bid for the
domination of the conti
nent of Asia.”
Many Americans view
with alarm the recent
gains of Japan in China
and the loss of many
airfields which have been
in use by American flying
units. The Chinese, on the
other hand, view such
gains as of little conse
quence. A spokesman for
the Chinese government!
ponted out recently, “to- I
day it is not what happens
in Changsha or Hengyang
or some other city in South
west China that matters to
Japan; it is rather what is j
going to happen to the Phil-j
ippines, to Formosa and to1
Japan proper that really!
matters.” — (Juneau Em-!
oire.)

WHEN IS THANKSGIVING?
Another holiday season rolls
around and again the calendars
are in conflict. Many of them
place the date of the turkey holi
day on November 23rd. Others
designate it on the last day of the ;
month, which falls on Thursday
this year. Still another says
Thanksgiving is on November 23rd
unless changed by proclamation.
When is Thanksgiving?

I erations, it was recently announc

His aggressive leadership in
stilled a fighting spirit in his of
