This is an announcement for the paper "A note on James spaces and superstrictly singular operators" by Isabelle Chalendar, Emmanuel Fricain, and Dan Timotin. Abstract: An elementary lemma is used in order to show that the natural inclusion $J_p\to J_q$ of James spaces is superstrictly singular for $p<q$. As a consequence, it is shown that an operator without nontrivial invariant subspaces constructed by Charles Read is superstrictly singular.
