ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER | THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. Tall Co, Lid, with Seattle, Chicago, y by the Fen Los Angeles, Po Represented natio: offices in Ban Franciscc Few York and Boston WE LOVE AND CHERISH ALASKA— LET'S PROTECT HER An alarming picture of Alaska’s aefenselessness " 'was painted before a joint session of the Legislature] this week by Col. John C. H. Lee of the U. S. Army. Every port in the Territory, the Colonel said, is vulnerable to attack at the present time And, he added, the possibility of Alaska's being attacked by very real enemies is not so remote that it can be shrugged away. If action to construct Ter- ritorial defenses is not begun this year, next year may be too late. The old Army game? The maneuver of arousing the public to clamor for increased appropriations for the Army? No, we're forced to realize that all that the Colonel says is true. Alaska could be very real danger, of invasion Across the Pacific there is a Fascist nation, nominally friendly and at peace with the United States. - But this nation nomin- ally is “at peace” with China too, has been so all through the past few years in which China has been laid waste by this same friend | If this Fascist nation’s armies and navy are as successful in China this year as they were last year— and China hasn’t shown anything yet that appears capable of stopping them—there will by the end of 1939 be one of the most powerful and power-crazy military machines in history with nothing left to do—in Asia. in danger, and not so many miles either wwiad oo¥noahother year:the invader’s resources will have| been spent; probably she will be near bankruptcy. But Ith is not counted in dollars, or pounds a nation's w or yen, but in coal, minerals and forests. | All of these last Alaska possesses in abundance.| No section on earth could be more attractive to our| little friends across the sea Especially warming to their hearts is the spectacle of this rich Territory lying undefended and ready to be raided from the air and from the sea Alaska would be a rich prize, one worthy of aj great effort. | The great need is for a well-trained, instantly-| available, highly-mobile body of defenders, whether that organization takes the form of a National Guarcl“ an aviation corps or a naval unit. In fact, a com-| bination of all three might be desirable. | Working out a defense plan for the Territory is no task for a civilian training learning the answers to the questions that arise under such projects.. But civilians must gi\‘v‘ every defense program its impetus. | Before Alaska’s Legislature at the present time is one proposal on which the War Departmom.l Colonel Lee indicated, wo look with favor. It is| a proposal for a Territorial National Guard. Every State in the Nation at the present time has | such a Guard. That Alaska does not is our own over-! sight, and one for which we may pay dearly. Most ()[‘ the arguments raised opposing such a force are trifling in the light of the importance to all of us of the Tf.‘r-‘ ritory’s defense. With plans for MINDING HER MAN NERS—in the difficult art of steering a bobsled dowii the tricky Mt. Hovenberg run at Lake Placid, N. Y.—Miss Lucille Manners (above) actually rode down the run. The pretty soprano had just been chosen “Queen of Winter” at the resort and her swift ride down the run, opening it, is believed one of the few actually taken by a winter queen, the present time in both Juneau and Washington it is reasonable to expect that out of them will come at east a start towdrd the great task of making the Territory- s, the phrase i still a good one—safe for Democracy. The Republicans Are Not What They Used To Be (Philadelphia Record) Today The Record olitical complexions of the 79 Republican Congress- ren who won their seats last November by defeating itting Democrats These are the Republican victories hailed by the publishes 200seyélt-haters as the “turning of the tide” against New Deal’ The bloc of 79-was seen as a solid anti-New Deal'corps, ready to do or die in Washington or dear old Herbert Hoover, 3 The Records survey will make the political experts take some of this wishful thinking back. The picture isn't so simple as the phrase “a defeat for the New Dedl” would make it (1) Fifty of Republicans won their s percent or under. The ats in 1936 by majorities of to their offices. (2) The Record survey (based on a careful ex- amination of the campaign speeches and political advertisements of these new Republican Congressmen) hows that of 76 of these new members, 18 must be classed as liberals, 13 as middle-of-the-roaders and 45 as convinced conservatives, (3) The entire Republican party has moved over toward center to a certain extent; of today would even have been considered liberals, in some cases extreme liberals, six years ago. PR S The 18 liberals are in favor of many of the New Deal measures. The 13 middle-of-the-roaders are ready to consider New Deal legislation on its merits. But most interesting are the 45 conservatives— These conservatives are for Federal relief as a principle, though they would like to cut the size of current appropriations, (Remember the days when Hoover laid down the theory it was proper for Wash- ington to feed farm animals but not human beings?) These conservatives are for increased old-age pen- sions, almost to a man; many flirted with the Town- sendites; only one or two denounced social security. (Remember when all such welfare legislation was con- sidered strictly a “State matter”?) These conservatives want to amend the Wagner Labor Relations Act, but not one of them, to our knowledge, said: “Throw it out!” (Remember when the conservatives used to defend the open shop and denounce unions as “labor monopolies”?) o pl Caiigantn This is going to be a rougher session than last; the increased bloc of Republicans will swing into action at certain points considered politically safe; they will not try to abolish WPA, but they will try to discredit it by an investigation; they may try to cripple TVA; they may try to starve the National Labor Relations Board, as a flank attack on the Wagner Labor Relations Act. But they are not going to have too much thunder The President has already outmaneuvered them by planning a new form of WPA regulation himself. The increased size of the Republican minority may tend to solidify the slimmed-down Democratic majority, and | to make it more sensitive to the need of party disci- pline, . The Democratic par . It has shifted to the Left; its conservatives have moved over into new ground. But it remains the party of opposition to new reforms. | The stronger the New Deal, the more bashful the | Republicans will be about direct attacks on liberal reforms. The New Deal still has the ball. It is the Administration’s cue to go down the line for sound work relief, for a job for every man able and willing to work, for health insurance. A couple of years ago it was the fashion for murderesses to plead the “unwritten law.” The same idea: now has been streamlined. Today they are “office wives.

Hellenthal was among | the 68 men who successfully passed the examinations at the Naval Training station at the University of Washington, and was to receive a commission as a Naval Ensign. Ralph Anderson Jr., was the name V. Anderson at Seldovia on Decem- ber 20, aceording to word received in Juneau. i A crew of men were to leave here on the Estebeth for Jualin for work to be done preparatory to further activities during the spring. A half year’s work was ended at the Juneau Public Schools, although only fifty days had been taught in- stead of the ninety which ordinar- ily would have formed the first se- mester, but due to the influenza epi- demic, and the flood, the schools had forced vacations. The Moonlight Dancing Club gave another of their delightful parties at the school, the hall being decor- ated with red and black streamers and flags. The delayed Christmas party of the Presbyterian Church was held for the attendants of the Bible school. The delay was due to the recent_influenza epidemic. J. 8.
