ALEUTIAN LANDINGS
THE JAPANESE "INVASION*
NO REASON FOR ALARM WASHINGTON, (Rec. 11 p.m.) June 16.
There have been no further reports of the progress of American air and naval attempts to dislodge the Japanese from their hold on the most western of the Aleutians. Mr Anthony J. Dimond, Alaskan delegate to" Congress, issued a warning that the Japanese must be ousted from the Aleutians promptly before they succeed in establishing bases for an aerial offensive against Alaska. Mr Dimond disagreed with high military officials at Washington who are inclined to dismiss the Japanese landings lightly. " I am terribly alarmed about it," he declared. Lieutenant-general K. Stuart, chief of the Canadian General Staff in Vancouver, declared that there was no reason for alarm over " the little invasion" of the Aleutians. General Stuart has left for Victoria, British Columbia, to assume temporary charge of the Pacific Command in that area.
