QUEBEC,
Aug.
21
(CP)
A
joint
Canadian-American
force
has
recaptured
the
Aleutian
Island
of
Kiska,
the
last
segment
of
North
American
soil
occupied
by
the
Japanese,
it
was
announced
today
in
a
statement
issued
by
Prime
Minister
William
Lyon
Mackenzie
King
of
Canada
and
President
Franklin
D.
Roosevelt
of
the
United
States.
A
communique
issued
at
the
same
time
by
the
United
States
Navy
indicated
that
the
island
was
taken
without
fighting,
the
Japanese
having
slipped
away
before
the
landings
which
started
August
15.
"There
were
indications
of
recent
hasty
evacuation
of
the
Japanese
garrison,"
the
naval
communique
reported.
"Presumably
heavy
bombardments
by
our
ships
and
planes
that
have
been
carried
on
for
some
time
and
danger
to
their
supply
lines
by
our
capture
of
Attu
made
enemy
positions
on
Kiska
untenable.
It
is
not
known
how
the
Japanese
got
away
but
it
is
possible
that
enemy
surface
ships
were
able
to
reach
Kiska
under
cover
of
heavy
fog
that
has
been
prevalent."
The
size
and
make-up
of
the
Canadian
force
was
not
made
known
but
President
Roosevelt
said
he
was
gratified
that
American
troops
worked
side
by
side
with
splendidly
trained
and
equipped
Canadians.
