 forces in the campaign to drive the Japanese out of Kiska, last enemy base in the western hemisphere. Canadian and American generals with Admiral Kincaid, Allied commander, supervised the embarkation, somewhere in the Aleutians. They combined Allied fleet steams for its objective. Troops donned war paint, camouflage, for what they expected to be the bloodiest of battles against a foe fighting to the death. The strategic importance of Kiska, 2,850 miles by air from Seattle, 1,100 miles to the great Jap base at Paramushiro, Kiska to Tokyo, 2,000 miles. Landing forces roll ashore armed to the teeth. For 14 months, the enemy has occupied the island as a base. Now Allied forces move in to reclaim the American soil of Kiska. And the landing is unopposed. The Japs who never retreat have fled. The Japs were forced to live underground. Kiska again in American hands is a new stepping stone to Tokyo. Age torn from the history of ancient China is this scene of laborers toiling with primitive tools. But today people of the new China are building aerodromes from which fighting planes are repelling the Japanese invader. Working almost entirely without modern equipment, they are carving miracles out of the wilderness. No cement available. They use rocks broken by hand. Cracked granite mixed with mud. A steam roller to flatten the landing strip. 300 men haul a heavy roller across the terrain. The mass power and courage of China's millions is proving more than a match for the Japanese. Already from aerodromes like this, China is striking back. United States to exchange ice, get a rousing reception as they parade up Broadway to New York City Hall, a Nazi plane. Now they're welcomed as heroes by New York's mayor herself a subaltern in the territorial service, visits a camp of America's Women's Army Corps. At a seaside post, she inspects a lifeguard unit and sees a demonstration of lifesaving. Her father, Mary Churchill, is popular with her American sisters-in-arms. Motors, tanks. From supply depots inland to ship convoys waiting at seaports is the war job of America's vast network of 45 great railway systems. An infantry division with full armored equipment requires 65 complete trains. More than 1,350 flat cars and coaches. Supervised the loading. Not a moment is lost. Not a square foot of space is wasted. Armed forces were carried by American railways in the first 10 months of the war. From traffic control towers, railway dispatchers operate fleets of troop and passenger trains over a half million miles of track. On every line, troop trains have the right of way. That is the watchword. Fronts must go through. Apartments all route. There's no stopping as fresh troops and supplies are sped across the continent day and night. The throttles are rushing more and more troops to swell the rising tide of armed forces being sent overseas in helping the United Nations win the war. From overseas are unloaded in vast quantities as General MacArthur marshals his forces for new drives against the Japanese. Powerful concentrations of material and equipment which already have delivered smashing blows on New Georgia and New Guinea. Liberators and flying forks roaring across the South Pacific. Over Salamowah, the big Jap base on New Guinea, shore positions are pounded from the skies. Columns are being encircled by Australian and American troops. The bombing
