THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 1938. many new improvements going in this year are ndding[H A. P P Y to the tax roll. A thorough appraisal of property in the city at the present time probably would show that the valuation is low. Many taxpayers have expressed themselves to the effect that a thorough re-appraisal hould be made. The small boat harbor is going td bring an increased volume of business to Juneau and many new residents. The city is in the throes of very definite growing p It is expanding beyond our izatio) These are points which should be ana- lyzed fairly and thoroughly. It cannot be overlooked that an opportunity such as Juneau has at the present time to get improvements it will have to make even- tually doesn’t come along every day of the week. The lrlm Ring (New York Times) News from Berlin that zones all along the fron- tiers have been closed by decree while a steel network of fortifications is being rushed to completion is bound to give rise to disturbing speculations. For years the orest grievance of the Germans was that Germany was enclosed in an “iron ring” forged by the allied Powers to strangle the Reich and keep her enfeebled, Yet the first thing the Germans do to show their rength when they recover their military freedom is to build an iron ring of their own. The straight- jacket they smashed through was partly imaginary; it is now replaced by a real one, self istructed. At first glance it looks as if Germany were tracing visi- bly along her borders that insulating zone which the present regime has created by its political, economic and racist policies. Literally, of course, the newly established closed zones are military entrenchments, They extend along the western frontier from The Netherlands to Swit- 'S P zerland, skirt the coasts of the Baltic and the North JUN P‘Alflilili("“ ‘EM Sea and mark off the entire length of the Polish and » being idenly blessed with public Czech boundaries.

Whether it wants to be blessed to the volume the City Council now finds in its lap remains to be seen, a small boat harbor assured, with the participating cost of $88,000, that the At any rate, Juneau no sooner ha than comes the announcement of yesterday city application for $170,000 for street and sewer im- provements also has been approved. It appears that the city has killed so many birds with one stone that it doesn't know how to pick them up. It is generally conceded that nothing must be placed in the way of the small boat harbor. With the War Department now ready to proceed with building the basin, the city already pledged to participation, must provide the terminal facilities. It not only must but it wants to and so far as the City Council has heard there isn’t any protest against it. On the contrary, the entire community has been and is wholeheartedly back of the project. The city antici- pated this improvement and is prepared to proceed to raise the money But on top of it comes approval to the proposal to pave Willoughby Avenue, widen South Seward Street and put in some sewers and sidewalks, all much-needed improvements. But it calls for an ex- penditure on the part of the city of 55 percent of the total cost of $170,000 and the city fathers are asking themselves, “how are we going to raise the money?” Naturally enough, a bond issue appears to be the solution, if advantage is taken of the PWA project. The city expects to offer a bond issue for raising funds to build the boat harbor facilities. But it would have to raise the amount appreciably if it also went ahead with the street improvements program. About the smaliest figure the city can estimate for the two jobs is around $140,000, which means that Juneau’s bond debt, if the taxpayers approved, would mount up again well over the $300,000 mark. It stands now at $196,000. In the discussion which is finances, sure to follow on city course is pursued, it The regardless of what shouldn't be overlooked that Juneau is growing. lieved to have been designed to recruit labor for these frontier defenses. Concentration on the work of fortification, together with special calls for additional hands to hurry up the harvest, is said to be crippling other building operations and slowing up non-military industries. It is not surprising that this feverish activity causes tension in Germany and anxiety across the borders. In the present atmosphere of Europe, every warlike move is bound to intensifly the chronic state of alarm. On its face the construction of an en- circling wall of steel and concrete should be a re- assuring indication that Germany is digging in for defense rather than aggression. It might be expected to suggest that the fear of Russia so generally ex- pressed in Germany is a real fear and not a slogan to prepare the popular mind for a military adventure when the time is ripe. The new iron ring has exactly the opposite effect, however. Actually it starts a fresh crop of fears and rumors. People on the outer side wonder what it portends. Do the hurried and hidden preparations on the border mean that Ger- many is actually getting ready to ike in Czecho- slovakia? Is Lord Runciman’s mission nearer a last- minute intervention against war than it appears? These alarmist speculations are symptomatic not only of a state of mind but of the effect of employing threats of ' as instruments of national policy. world lives in the atmosphere in which wars are made. The nervous efforts of Tokyo and Moscow to prevent the dangerous clashes on the Manchurian berder from developing into a large-scale conflict seem to signify that neither the Japanese nor the Russians are creating a diversion to help or stop Ger- many in the west. But the anxiety to control these local outbreaks shows also how easily they get out of bounds and how dangerous are these highly fortified border zones when they are held by potential enemies who wish to prick and provoke but not to fight. Whether or not Germany is building underground aerodromes, supply bases and forests of pillboxes to frighten the Czechs into surrender without war, they cannot expect the iron-ring strategy to have a more pacifying effect on their neighbors than it had on them. The iron ring, indeed, is the ultimate vicious circle, the shackle by which a nation clamps down on its own productive energies and imprisons itself.
