"Allied Forces are ready for any Jap drive eastward in the Aleutian Islands but it may take the enemy some time to get started." Those are the opening words of a British United Press despatch. Continuing the despatch it would appear that this sentiment comes from Washington military spokesmen. Well, why don't we hit them before thev are readv? We must, by now, know that the Japanese don't strike unui iney are sure tney can go ahead. And here we are sitting back waiting until they are ready! Are we never going to wake up to theiact that we won't win this war by sitting still? And our excuses about the whole thing are pathetic in their futility. We hear that the weather is bad. Good heavens ! The Japanese have been having the same weather unless the Emperor of the Land of the Rising Sun has some special pull with that orb and can change it where we can't. We have sunk enemy ships; well, what of jt? The Japs are consolidating their posi tions and all we say is that it will take them some time to get ready. But that is not all, This raid nto the Aleutians appears to be looked upon as a menace to our lines to Rus sia, bo what do we do? What? Jnstead of setting out .to clear the channel; instead of going out after those Japanese and cleaning our Jines of communications, we read of plans to build a road so as to avoid them. We mustn't disturb the little yellow people; they might sting usi In: the name of all that we fight for, what kind of thinking is this? If we are incapable of dealing with a small Japanese force on our own doorstep it's high time that we found out how to do it, and did it. If we go on talking "Wait and see' we'll let them take island after island until we are faced with an assault such .as we fear. Now is the time to get the mo.utj .now is the time to act. We have not to change our way .of thinking. We must atop being satisfied to wait until the enemy is ready. We must think in terms of offense. We must talk of getting the enemy out of the Aleutians,, and everywhere else. We must stop waiting. Have we not got- imagination to overcome weather difficulties? is infinitely more important to get the Japs out of the Aleutians than to argue about the alleged mistakes of Hong Kong. They are passed. But, right under our noses, we are making a worse mistake. Let's stop thinking in terms of the past and think in terms of the present and future. It's time we planned . ahead. Look . forward! Go forward! 1 ir. i. a i '11' ' wv wont get anywnere siiung around moaning aDouc what has happened. It is time that we made plans for whatfe going to happen and took drastic steps to see that it will happen as we want it to. And what does it all add up to? This: We have not got the attack frame of mind. We must get it. We are too ready to wait. As a people we should be yelling our heads off to get the Japs out of the Aleutians instead of squawking about civil liberties and Col. Drew. Our liber ties are threatened by a Japanese force in the Aleutian Islands. Well, what are we going to do about it? You say, "That's American territory. It's not pur business." May be so, but the Aleutian Islands are a crood sight nearer Canada than the U.S.A. and Canadian troops and good fliers are vitally concerned. And, anyway, this isn't a question of an American war, or a Canadian war, it is a United Nations war and it's just as much our business as anyone else's w)iat happens. Are we going to be' satisfied to wait unyifo'ear attacked or are we going to move heaven, earth?- seas and the Japanese until the islands are clear? . Port Hope Evening Guide. One trouble with our .war effort is not the lack of ideas but the lack of courage tp put them into force. It is a tragedy .wjien we know what to do Jiut have not the1 will or determination to see that it is done.
