PA02 TTTO DAILY EDITION EDITORIAL Japs In Aleutians ... SATURDAY. JUNE 13, 1942 on the Kunles in some remote spot it is likely they could also do so. What advantage would be gained, of course, would be another question. It is to be considered that there is always a heavy risk of complete loss of forces being sent out on such isolated expeditions. Such is the risk that the Japanese run in landing on the Aleutians as would the Americans should they move on the Kuriles. There might have been a single or several motives for the Japanese landing on the Aleutians. It is" most likely that it is a defensive action in view of the generally anticipated offensive against Japan which must come from somewhere. Then it might be meant as a diverting action or even a face-saving one. It is also to be considered that the enemy might have the idea of establishing Kncnc $ r v on r$ $ tv cr r i'i'n nnef f rvtii xf c? fVii A loci."! We sometimes wonder which is worse the war or the rumors of war. Here in Prince Rupert we are certainly already in the thick of battle as far as the rumors are concerned. The Fisheries Experimental Station . . . The fisheries experimental station of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada, having had its inception here, expanding from humble beginnings to become an institution of many ramifications, has long since proven its invaluable worth to the fisheries industry and today is an important factor in the war effort from a scientific standpoint. It has come to be regarded as such a peculiarly local institution that it had never occurred to us that such a possibility as its being .moved away would ever arise. Nevertheless, such a move is now more than a possibility. We . are told . that already it has been decided 4 l r 1 1 l i i tr lit i And now some people in these.parts are even thinking it would be nice if they could move to bngland where they would be safer. Invasion Of Britain . . . Just two years ago this month there reached the editor's desk a long article descriptive of the British Isles to be "held for release" in the event of an invasion of those islands. Possibly, the public does not know that it is common practice for newspaper services to prepare such matter in advance for use, in connection with events which appear imminent or about to break. Back those two years ago when France was collapsing and the fresh and mighty Nazi forces were at the height of their strength we were living in a state of nervousness that the British Isles would be invaded. The date for the invasion and the triumphal march of Adolf Hitler into London were even being set. Now two years have passed but England still stands and the invasion of Britain appears to be an unlikely event. Indeed, they are talking about an invasion not by the Nazis but by the Allies themselves. True, England, since those now yellowed sheets reached the editor's desk has gone through a sore testing and has suffered many wounds. Nevertheless, the invasion has not even vet been attempted, But the fear of an invasion probably did a great deal to make Britain strong in her island fortress as she is today. This is just a demonstration that the worst we anticipate t t often does not happen but it is a good thing to be readv for it just as we are getting ready for it In Prince Rupert today.

If we were allowed to know more about the things in a military way that are going on on our own side we might be able to interpret more clearly the real significance of the Aleutian Islands operations.

It is gratifying, however, to be assured that influential local bodies are doing everything they can to keep this most important institution here in Prince Rupert where, in view of this being the centre of the most important fisheries of the Pacific Coast, the station really belongs anyway. We believe that every possibility of retaining the organization here should be exhausted before any final decision is made to remove it to a less advantageous location.
