Situation Last Night

I- War (By KIRK! L. SIMPSON, Associated Press War Analyst)

Contracted (with adverse war developments in the Mediterranean and Western Atlantic theatres as the first anniversary of Hitler's at- tack on Russia rolls around, the Pacific lfront shows heartening im- provement, except in China.

Whatever the purpose of Japanese naval forays in the North Pa- cific, Nipponese losses constitute a definite dent in enemy striking power. A 10-to-1 ratio as compare‘ to American casualties is not an exaggerated estimate.

It is probably much greater in fact, with nearly three score enemy combat and cargo croft sunk or put out of action in the Coral Sea, liiid- way and Aleutians operations. Japan can show only a precarious foot- ing in the western Aleutians on the profit side of the grim ledger.

I I U U O I

The strategic value of that Japanese toehold is too negligible comparison to its cost to figure importantly in the renewed Roosevelt- Churchill conferences. It was something of more consequence in the war picture that brought the Prime Minister to the United States. There has been much speculation that he and Mr. Roosevelt would discuss second-front operations in Europe to aid Russia, or new lmovcs to bol- ster the shaken defences of Egypt.

There ls another possibility. This week-end, of June 21-22, is not only the German-Russian war anniversary. It is the official opening of summer. on the summer in which Hitler has pledged himself to kneel: Russia tint of the war.

Germany's claims that it has scored “decisive" successes in the Sevastopol area and has routed a “collupsed" British army in Libya have some basis, even if utterly exaggerated.

Hitler obviously Q: setting the propaganda stage at home for some purpose, presumably for an announcement that his 1943 victory drive 110W 18 P9111118- This week-end‘ must be fraught with special significance to him and his opponents.

It is not illogical that Mr. Churchill seemed it prudent to bridge the time and distance gdp between the British and American nerve cegitres of United Nations war effort in anticination of week-end de- ve opments that would call for instant AILed decisions. The choice of ways and means to meet a supreme Nazi effort may be forced upon the conferees within d_oy5 m: hp!!! ham”;

Voluntary System ls Preferred

Revenue Minister Gibson ' Speaks On Bill Before Commons.

O'I'I‘AWA. June l9-_—(OPl~E_9V' cllue Minister Colin Gibson, a (lis- tlllgliltilCd veteran of the First Great war, told the House of Com- mong today that he would support conscription for servlce overseas immediately if the vulumafl’ 5Y5‘ rem of enlistments failed.

But. the system had not ‘failed and he preferred it to conscription. "1 am not an anti-conscrlptionlst but I have served under both 5Y5‘ terns and I do not agree with tile view that conscription is necessar- ily the best method of producing an effective fighting form" 0°1- Gibson said.

Two other membrs spoke in to- day's conscription debate. 110m supporters of Prime Minister Mac- kenzie King's bill designed to em- power the government to impose conscription for service overseas by Order-in-Council.

They were W. Ross Macdonald (Lib. Brantford), also a First Great War veteran. who said he was sat- isfied that the moment conscrip- tion for overseas became necessary the government would impose it, and John R. MacNicol (Con. Tor- ollto-Davenport), who 951d he would support it because it was a step in the right direction.

Mr. Macdonald said he would ad- vise his constituents that if they were called for service after the bill passes they would be in for the duration and might be asked to serve in any theatre of war.

Mr. MacNicol said that after lis- tening to the speech in which Mr. King moved second reading of his bill "I could not put my finger on the policy of the government and I doubt if anybody could."

Conservative House leader Han- son interjected: "He does not in- tend that you should."

The three-hour sitting was oc- cupied for more than an hour by an unheralded discussion of the Japanese problem in British Col- umbia, precipitated by members from that province and answered by Labor Minister Mitchell.
