SOMEWHERE ON THE PACIFIC, June 5 —There is a full-
fledged revolution in progress throughout the fabled South sea
islands today.
Its outward manifestations are ubiquitous jeeps, the high-
pitched song of swift fighter planes taking off on dawn patrol,
and the thousands of young Americans in khaki who are being
toughened and trained to come to grips with the Japanese.
On islands whose names you have never read in your news-
papers American engineers and engines have built huge airplane
runways, constructed barracks and installed artillery positions,
of shipping and transportation."

CHICAGO, June 5 — (P)— Alf M.
Landon, Kansas oil operator and 1936
Republican presidential nominee, said
Friday the government could solve
the rubber shortage and the farm
problem at the same time by making
rubber not from petroleum but from
alcohol produced from grain.
"I do not think I am taking any
shingles off my own roof," he assert-
ed in a speech prepared for a noon
meeting of the Chicago Executive
club, "because in the long run the oil
industry would benefit by the greatest
prosperity the farmers ever knew."
The former Kansas governor was
critical of administration handling of
the rubber and gasoline problems,
asserting;
"The whole rubber situation has
been fumbled from start to finish, and
we are paying the penalty. As the
facts are revealed by congressional
committees, It is the president, and
not Jesse Jones, who slowed down the
synthetic rubber program. . . .
"It has not yet appeared definitely
whether it is rubber or gasoline the
administration is trying to save.
There are no figures to convince the
public on the gasoline end. If they
want to save rubber, why did they
not start at that end, instead of the
roundabout way. They have confused
a long-suffering. patriotic people by
not representing the situation can-
didly. By their lack of candor they
have created difficulties.”

By itself, probably none of the is-
lands could be considered invulnerable
against a major attack. But they
are close enough for mutual air sup-
port. They are protected by United
States warships, and forces on them
are a warning to Japanese that their
days of easy plucking are over and
that wherever the Japanese attack in
the Pacific from now on they will be
opposed by land-based bombers, by
American troops, tanks, guns and
planes.
