The declaration has been made that, in gen- eral, no change would be made in the 1939 Alaska fish- ing regulations issued earlier in the year; but this statement came from Department of Commerce sources, and there is no assurance that it will be fol- Jowed under thc new arrangement. However, there 1s no reason now apparent to anticipate any radical changes for the balance of this season | Another notable recent change is the retirement from the bureau of L. Wingard, for the past s years Alaska agent in eral charge of the adminis- | trative service in the Territory. His place has been| taken by Seton Thompson, Assistant Chief of the Alaska Division, who is now in Juneau in charge of the office.

Meanwhile, further indication of Sec- etary Tckes' attitude and policy on fishery matters awaited with much interest. past Alaskan Air Bases Mean U. S. Safety (Seattle Post-Intelligencer) The growing realization of the need for adequate, modern defenses the United States, is demonstrated by approval of he House of Representatives, of President Roosevelt's recommendation for a four million dollar army air pase, which probably will be located in the vicinity of Fairbanks This will be one of the chain of “frontier” army air bases authorized some years ago in the Wilcox bill. The first already has been established near Fort Lewis and is now in the process of construction. The necessity for early action on the Alaska army air base has been repeatedly pointed out by The Post- Intelligencer, Previously the administration has proposed, and Congress has approved, the establishment of two naval air bases in Alaska At Sitka an old coaling station is providing tem porary facilities for the army patrol planes that wing their way north from Sand Point.” Permanent facili- s for enlarged operations are provided under the naval program. Farther west, at Kodiak, a larger naval plane base will be built. Whether the United States is to make use of thé strategic possibilities of the Aleutian Islands which extend many hundreds of miles to the westward from Kodiak is a matter for the future. Naval authorities have enyisioned a combined base for surface vessels and aircraft which would spell the greatest possible measure of protection against any attack from the Pacific The Kodiak and Sitka bases primarily will be headquarters for patrol work. They will enable the naval flyers, the eyes of the fleet, to note any threat of naval attack and thus enable our own navy to ad- vance for defensive action. The army air base proposed for Fairbanks, in contrast, will be designed as a frontier post whicn would serve to halt any attempted invasion of the United States, either from Asia or from Europe. It took the trans-polar flights of Soviet aviators, two years ago, to show the world how practicable this route between the hemispheres may soon become in these days of long distance flying. It will take time to build the Fairbanks base, which will lie almost directly athwart the shortest route between Europe and North America. The foresight in providing for this should be applauded. For aviation has made tremendous strides in re- cent years. It was about 150 years ago that Benjamin Frank- lin. witnessing a balloon ascension in Paris, used typ- ical Yankee strategy in answerihg the guestion, “What use is that thing?” Franklin's answer was: “What use is a new born baby?” The baby of aviation is not yet grown up. But it has been making tremendous progress towards matuivity in Alaska, to insure the safety ot base now And the Others? (Cleveland Plain Dealer) After its wandering voyage to the New World and back with its passenger list of 907 refugees from Germany, the liner St. Louis docked at Antwerp—a haven which is the front door to hope. All the world watched the voyage of the St. Louis. | At Havana, where the refugees expected to land, they | were turned away through technicalities in the visa regulations. The ship started for Hamburg. Then came reports that the 907 could land in the Domin- ican Republic and then in the Isle of Pines. The cruel effect of this sudden raising and dashing of hope on the minds of these unfortunate people can only be imagined. It was a sad commentary on the indiffer- ence of the world and the disorganization of policies and plans, official and private, to care for the refugees. Belgium, France and Britain will give temporary shelter to 250 refugees each. The Netherlands will take 157. But the rescue of the 907 on the St. Louis only a small part of the refugee problem. They came into the public spotlight because of the dramatic manner in which they were shunted about. There are other thousands like them who must be pro- vided for. These victims of an intolerant world call out for succor. Their plight can be met only by rapid, organized action by the humanitarian governments. We are, admittedly, flabbergasted. We can’t make up our mind which better reflects the tempo of our times: the story about the 2500 fish who got seasick, or the one about the jitterbugs whose dancing crashed the floor and dropped them into the cellar—where they kept on stomping. We see where it is estimated that there are 14,- 000,000 partially deaf people in America. The number is considerably higher when it’s a loan you want. The city of Charlotte, N.
