But it so happens that we know nothing about what will happen there a week from now and it is well to be cheerful and celebrate Christmas in the best way we know how, always keeping our w a r duties in mind. Queen's Fund Gifts The first donation from the Queen's Canadian Fund to provide Christmas comforts for the people living in shelters in the United Kingdom was 750, but other similar sums will have been forwarded before next week. Children and old people will be those who will benefit most but all, so far as possible, will be remembered. War in the Pacific . With shocking suddenness, war has come to the Pacific m Ocean and it must be endured and won, savs the Financial Post. At the outset Japan has the temporary advantage of surprise and she may be expected t6 exploit it to the full. What damage she may do before she is subdued it is impossible to guess. The Pacific is a huge ocean and Japan's fleet is on the loose in it. She has ten or eleven small but fast aircraft carriers and their job is to cany attack to distant objectives. That makes every, section of the Pacific theoretically vulnerable and in danger until reconnaissance and report discloses just where this Japanese naval strength is disposed. Military secrecy surrounds the Pacific Coast defence of Canada but it has been stated that the. present emergency has been foreseen for n InnrV w)iiliW.Vio TWcr. nient of National Defence and that suchsteps as were-j xccuMu.e nave ueen tanen to protect Canada against attack on the west. This includes operational aircraft squadrons manned by men to whom active service against the enemy is no new affair, Japanese naval forces have been reported off the Aleutian Islands. This is the direct route to Prince Rupert, Vancouver, Seattle and San Francisco not a northerly excursion but a direct approach carries a Japanese fleet past the Aleutians, The Aleutian Islands are within" the aerial and naval patrol area' covered by the United States and it is to be presumed that that part of the United States fleet assigned to the protecton of home waters or, in other words, the eastern portion of the Pacific Ocean, will be on duty to meet this threat. J?bv?ous agreement with the British Navy, the tt I'!'1 States naval strength has been concentrated in the Pacific and British strength in the Atlantic and Mediterranean. For a few raiders, including submarines, to slip through the Pacific guard is always a possibility. For a large fleet to enter eastern Pacific defense zones unnoticed and unhindered should be much more difficult Nevertheless, the situation is such that the military and nava authorities are fully entitled to warn the civilian population of British Columbia that an attack by Japanese forces on the Pacific Northwest is imminent. That puts the whole coast of British Columbia within the zone of possible attack.
