JAP HOME FRONT
Our bloody victories in
the many islands in the Pa
cific over the Japanese,
and the length of time it
has taken us to get back to
the Philippines, should be
enough to dispel any idea
that Japan will be an easy
victim.
You may be sure the
Americans will take much
credit in the defeat of Hit
ler, but we must also de
cisively defeat the Japan
ese or our efforts will have ‘
been in vain.
At home we must buy
more and bigger War
Bonds, in order to assure
the demanded munitions
of war.
The Japanese are 73
million strong, have lived

on very little, and have
worked hard. Their diet
would mean starvation for
Americans.
Today there are nearly
10 million Japanese civil
ians working in actual pro
; duction of war materials.
In addition, the Japanese
control approximately 400,
000,000 enslaved workers.
The main Japanese in
dustrial strength is still out
of range of our bombers,
on anything but an occa
sional raid.
As Japan is forced toj
slowly give up the terri-i
tory she has conquered, we'
shall find an ever strength-1
ening force of resistance,'
and as her supply prob-j
lems become less and less, j
our problems are increas-:

ICKES AND HIS
FISH PLANS
Harold Ickes, as you
must have heard, has plans
for giving Alaska back to
the Indians. He would start
by driving out the interlop
ing whites who have built
up a great industry, and
vesting in the natives ex
clusive rights to all the fish
I in Alaskan waters. j
Meanwhile, one of Mr.
j Ickes’ multitude of agents
| advises that the American
people must at once begin
eating more fish. The gov
ernment’s cold storage fa
cilities in various parts of
the country are now full of
fish—135,000,000 pounds.
! The armed forces haven’t
been eating as much fish as
j expected. Others must do
it, so that freezer space
may be released for some
S thing else—maybe more
fish.
We take you now to
Washington, D. C., to a
conference called by Mr. i
Ickes, as coordinator of
I
fisheries. It was supposed
to be a conference of the
fishing industry. Those
; present, according to au
thorized report, were “key I
j officials of the Fish and
I Wildlife Service; area co
ordinators of the office of
; coordinator of fisheries,!
i fishing consultants; repre- j

sentatives of the Office of
Price Administration, the
i War Food Administration
! and the War Production
Board.”
The roster reads like an
official (Ickes) conference,
without much countenance
of fishermen, processors of
food fish, or others identi
fied with the fishing indus
try. Let that pass. the
main item on the agenda
was the frozen fish—what
to do about t. The official
answer is that it must be
eaten.
The next question is
whether by suasion or
force. If Mr. Ickes can in
duce every person in the
: United States to eat one
pound of fish, say next Fri
day, the freezers will be
cleared.
Otherwise, Mr. Ickes
may be forced to halt the
supply of fresh fish from
Alaskan and all other wa
ters over which he is co
ordinator, until the people
have eaten up the 135,000,
000 pounds coordinated in
cold storage, no one knows
why nor for how long.—
