ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. 'S WELCOME TO KETCHIKAN YOUTHFUL AMBASSADORS. Juneau is today welcoming the basketball squad| of Ketchikan High School. These youthful ambas- sadors of good will are the guests of not only the Jocal High School, whose own athletes will compete with them for the basketball crown of the South- east Alaska Association, but as well of the entire} city. It has been several years since this privilege was Juneau’s, and it is with a great deal of pleasure that the opportunity is once more accorded to greet them. That they come here secking laurels coveted by our own High School does not make them enemies —merely friendly rivals. After a hard season, they! won fairly the right to contest for titular honors. They have proved their mettle and their qualities as sportsmen. We hail them as such, and even {hough we cannot wish them success in their quest, we can do no less than hope that the best team wins. If that should be Kayhi, no one will grudge| them their victory.

That noted New Yorker with change his salty humor and aggressive personality packed ttee room and, in stage vernacular, “stole the show.” He had a program and wasn't backward pressing it. He characterized “a shot in the arm.” He urged a bond the commi about currency as issue to provide work for the idle, a national roads| program, a long debt holiday, payment to veterans for afflictions resulting from service only, attacked high tariffs and high income taxaes. The Senate was interested in his formula, but even more interested in his personality. The New York Times described his appearance before the committes as follows: The appearance of Mr. Smith brought into the minority caucus room of the Senate Office Building so many persons that they sat two on a chair and stood along the walls. Kleig lights blazed a good part of the time as moving-picture men made sound records of his talk. Senators paid him the compliment of appearing in such number that day they almost surrounded the long table. The fascination which Mr. Smith exerts on the imagination of people was never more convincingly demonstrated, and there was laugther at his slighest whimsy. He was a one-man show for the day. Senators listened to him attentively and questioned him at such length that they talked almost as much as he did. At times he appeared a little impatient; his mouth was a straight line for a change. His face was red in the glare of the lamps, and his narrowed eyes were steel blue. and cold. Only once did he laugh, despite the evident desire of his audience for humor. But if not amusing he was as caustically colloquial as ever. ANOTHER HE The Wallace family is closely identified with agriculture across two generations. Following the example of his father, Henry C. Wallace, who was Secretary of Agriculture in the Cabinets of Harding and Coolidge, Henry A. Wallace is now ensconsed in the same position under the Democratic Administra- tion. The father, to be sure, was a Republican, but . mever a particularly enthusiastic or demonstrative ‘one. He was deeply interested in farm problems, and that interest always predominated over partisan Y WALLACE. The present Secretary of Agriculture is likewise i an agricultural man, and but incid ly a political _ figure. Political parties, to these Iovaus, are merely |ments. |in their foolhardy campaign in Jehol, |that a myth grew up about her, and this, in a way, immediate predecessor—Arthur M. Hyde. was more politically minded than agriculturally- minded. He viewed farm problems and their solution not so much from the angle of permanent better- ment but rather from that of obtaining the great- est political benefit for his party and his chief. The farmers, particularly, and the country in general will welcome this change. One of the things to be noted is that the first man to quit work when the whistle blows is the last to be remembered by the boss when promotions are handed out. Apparently the candle of industry is about to be relighted. Once the flame is glowing, maybe we can remember that it will burn more steadily and last longer if we use it with more economy. Anyway there ought to be no more wisecracks about wooden money since banks these days are scurrying to get a supply of Woodin dollars from Federal Reserve centers. No Legislature or Congress is going to vote us into prosperity. Each man who gets there will travel on his own feet and no one finds safety in shaping his course with the crowd. Britain’s Arms Embargo. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) Great Britain’s decisive action in placing an embargo on arms shipments to China and Japan may play a significant role in the Far Eastern controversy. Pending a debate on the question in the House of Commons the British Government has \issued an order forbidding export of arms or muni- tions for either of the warring countries. Laborites are demanding an embargo against Japan, as the aggressor State. Unwilling to cast its lot with either side the Cabinet has made the embargo effective |against both. The action leads the way to an international agreement for an arms embargo. No one Power can effectively stop the supply of armaments, but ;wim cooperation among the half-dozen major coun- tries a firm check can be placed on further ship- Such a policy cannot be relied upon abso- lutely to halt a war, but it is a strong measure, and gives tangible form to the disapproval the Powers have already expressed in words. The United States has considered this means of implementing its Far Eastern policy, but has not yet taken action. Washington Government should cooperate fully with | London, for once they reach agreement it should then be possible to induce France and other muni- tions manufacturing nations to adhere to the policy. An economic boycott is virtually an act of war,; if applied against one nation exclusively. But t,here‘ |is adequate precedent for an embargo on arms| shipments. This is one measure which the Powers! can adopt which will go far to deter the Japanese and at the same time will not implicate the Western nations. : Joan of Arc in the News. (New York World-Telegram.) It will be 501 years, come spring in Domremy, |since the peasant girl who there heard voices that! elsewhere never rose on land or sea died on a pyre in Rouen. It took that long for scholars to find out was a fortunate thing. Professor Thurman W. Arnold, of the Yale Law School, after long study of records of her trial jtranslated from original Latin and French docu- inflation of |ments, reveals now what he says is the truth. After all, he discloses, it was not a partisan court that condemned the girl who led an army and fired a, | people. “The proceedings,” he says in the Yale Law Journal, “show all the restraint and all the judicial atiitude of the best conducted trials of our own day.” The philosophy of mediaeval France and not the court, he finds, must be blamed for holding that heresy was a capital offense. Oddly, something fine probably was gained through the long belief in what the professor calls the fallacy of her illegal condemnation. If the world had not thought down the years that the Maid of Orleans was the doomed victim of partisanship it is hardly likely that some of the finest passages in literature would have been much read — or even written. We might not have had Shakespear’s “Henry VI.” or Schiller’s “Die Jungfrau von Orleans.” Nor her story by Anatole France. Maybe De Quincy might not have written the beautiful, terrible tale that ends with the flames rising and the girl from Domremy, engulfed by them, saying, “Gentle Jesus!” Truth’s loss, perhaps, was literature's gain. Should Women Work. (New York Times.) Dean Gildersleeve of Barnard College urges young women to prepare themselves for a business or pro- fessional career whether or not they intend to marry. An occupation is something to look forward to in middle age, when presumably the business of rearing a family is over and done with. Miss Gilder- sleeve believes that the woman of 45 to 65 is much happier if she has work to which she can return. ‘The question is whether in the years ahead of us, when we have done away with machines in order to wipe out unemployment, there will be work of any kind for women of any age. People are now much haunted by Technological Unemployment. But isn't the principal evil of our economic system something that might be called Sexological Unem- ployment? We have today about 12,000,000 people out of work. We had in the last census very nearly 11,000,000 females in gainful occupation. Why not solve the problem at a stroke of prohibiting gaintul employment for women? This simple proposal to chase 11,000,000 women out of gainful employment and back into the kitchen is not really so drastic as it sounds. At least it is no more revolutionary than abolishing the " the vehicles of policy. First and forcrmost in their minds is the well-being of agriculture and those who follow that vocation. Mr. Wallace entered upon his duties amply train- ed. Although one of the youngest members of the . Roosevelt official family, he has had an extraordinary *mniontobmnwwruunnmmzm mlnntonlylnlpuefiflllmse but also through cmfu'smdjuu(urmuoflomlc& As publisher of has been in close touch built up a large support Ez machines. The two things really go together. It is the machines that have given women their position in the economic world. Abolish the textile machines and women will have to stay at home and weave cloth, as they used to. Abolish the bread and laundry machines and women will have to go back to the stove and the washtub. Abolish the machine called the tele- phone and the machine called the typewriter, and what will happen to an army of women in gainful occupations? It really does look as if the abolition of ma- chines will have to be followed by the abolition ot ) The latter| It is perhaps desirable that the| SYNOPSIS: A detachment of Maj.

In this exalted quarter also, the |fellow had found favor, and had so far ingratiated himself that Major Riccoli had appointed him | his orderly for duty whenever Major Riccoli sojourned at Post One. Here. again, doubtless, the man's knowledge of Corsica, Ajaccio, and the Italian tongue, was of immense service to him in the attainment of his ambitions.
