Wellington, 1011 | American Bank Bullding OUR MERCHANT MARINE The revival of the United States merchant marine passed a milestone with the launching August 31 of the luxurious new passenger liner America, built for service on the United States Lines with the aid of the United States Maritime Commission, The America is the largest mercha hip ever built in an American shipyard. Its construction marks a widespread reawakening of United States ship- building, stimulated by the Government when it be- came apparent recently that unless something was done the time was not far distant when the American flag would disappear from the merchant marine of the world. ‘The new liner will ply the North Atlantic route between New York, Southhampton, Havre, and Ham- burg, and is scheduled to go into service in eight or nine months. It will be fitted out with the most modern accommodations and is designed throughout with emphasis upon safety. The America will be in the luxury liner class, but is not intended to compete with the speed of the Normandie or the Queen Mary Its approximate speed of will enable it offer a reasonably fast schedule. The Americe destgried t6 Feplace the o1d Teviathan, which has been out of service for years. A strong merchant marine is desirable at any time. There is a commercial justification for the United States Maritime Commission’s efforts to pro- mote the creation of a sizable American merchant marine, and the extent of government assistance in- volved represents money well invested in the main- tenance, or recapture, of Yankee commercial prestige | on the high seas. In wartime, an adequate merchant marine is vir- tually invaluable. The United States can only hope that it did not wait too long to launch its present merchant marine program. The wooden ships of two decades ago and the vast waste of jerry-built vessels constructed under the lash of war still an unpleasant memory. to WA are BOMBPROOF HUMOR Preparation for the war which has finally come,! as reported by the London Sunday Pictorial: “Peals of happy laughter will help to drown the sound of bursting bombs at Beckenham, Kent. if there is a war. Sitting in their A. R. P. (Air Raids Precau- tions) trenches, 450 of the County School, Becken- ham, will have nor p variety “As an A. R. P. measure the girls have been ordered by their head mistress to learn three funny stories each, and to keep the stories secret in readiness for war. The stories will not be told until they get into the trenches, and then recital of the entire 1,350 jokes will begin. The stories must be easy to understand | with the ind must be funny. Girls are begging theit aduit]® riends to tell them the be s they know. ‘T have got three beauties,’ one of the girls said They are so good that it is difficult, being on my honour, not to tell them until there is a war. I am bursting to let my chums enjoy them We, too, are almost fit to be tied. In Memeriam (Philadelphia Record) The joyful reunion of Germany and Russia brings reminder that there are some vacant chairs at the *elebration. We refer to the thousands that Stalin has killed »r imprisoned on the charge that they were pro- German— And to the thousands that Hitler has kilied or im- yrisoned on the charge that they were pro-Soviet Hitler built his movement largely on hatred of 3olshevism. He has used the Red scare to justify his eizures of property for “national defense against the Red Terror. He has justified his restrictive measures awgainst Catholic and Protestant churches on the pecious ground that Germany must present an abso- utely solid front to the Russian menace. He has justified his persecution of the helpless Jewish minor- ity on the false assertion that the Jews were in league Bolsheviks and dominated the Communist party throughout the world. Qotations to this effect can be found in almost any Nazi speech. Here is a sample taken from a major address by Hitler September, 1935: “We are not going to let our workers labor be destroyed by any international group of Bolshevist Jews To some educated Germans who shrank from both the persecution of s and the moronic racial theories this identification of the anti-Jewish campaign with | the anti-Bolshevist campaign undoubtedly had a cer- tain Many Germans feared Communism above gs and their fear paralyzed reason whict would have shown them the base! ess of the “Jew- ish Bolsl m” charge So millions of Germans acqui ed in the destruc- tion of free speech, in the destruction of their Repub- lic; in the persecution of three religions; in the abro- tion of property rights—all because Hitler told them “There can be no compromise with Bolshevism Now Hitler himself not only compromises with Bolshevism. He embraces an opportunity for coopera- tion with it And in Russia— During the “treason” trials, which were staged to consolidate Russian opinion behind Stalin, Germany was held up as the chief menace to the Soviet Union The worst charge that could be leveled against they traitors” was that they had German contacts, or were in German pay, or favored a measure of coopera- tion with Germany In particular, the purge of Red Army officers wa based on the accusation that they were friendly toward the notion of cooperation with Hitler's Germany The newspaper Izvestia, which this week is glow- ing with the prospects of friendly relations with Hit- ler, cried out two years ago “We know who, in fits of bloodthirsty des! dreamed of the rich fielc iant tories anc atural resources of the Ukraine. The Germany hirelings of the pen are shedding ile tears for the fate of ies and traitors recruited by their own inteliigence service Now Hitler is in the same position as those he shot as Bolshevist sympathizers. Now alin is in the position of those he shot as Fascist sympathizers Thee glaring inconsistencies may be of more im- portance for the-future than-the governmental threats and warnings that are now flying about Europe. The lies in which Hitler and Stalin have exposec themselves are not mere personal untruths--they are the myths upon which the regimes of their respective countries are based. Neither Russia nor Germany is strictly a police State. A large proportion of the people in each nation is held to the regime by propaganda rather than by force. Now the key pillars in’ the of both nations are rapprochement, A dispatch propaganda structure smashed by the Russo-German from Berlin says Government em- ployees yesterday greeted each other facetiously with “Heil Hitler-Red Front.” Dispatches from Moscow say that even high Soviet diplomatic officials are non- plused by. what has happened. What must the Rus- sian people think of this help to the “enemy"? Foreign affairs can never be considered apart from domestic affairs, not even in dictatorships. Stalin and Hitler may make a pact—and lose millions of ad- herents. Stalin and Hitler each has gained a “friend” who is a doubtful friend, at best, and in doing so each has lost his most powerful argument for swaying the pas- | sions of his own people. There will be many Germans who remember the victims of the crusade against “Bolshevism.” There will be millions in Russia who remember the crusade against “Hitler’s agents.” From the grave may come forces more effective than living armies.

BAUER| Planning Council Consult- ant Returns from Matanuska Returning from seven weeks’ §o- journ in the Interior, Dr. H. A. Bauer, Consultant to the Alaska Planning Council, reported today on the work in which the Council is either participating or directly en- gaged. The Matanuska Valley Land-Use study, for which Dr.Bauer hasbeen assigned to serve as general secre- tary, has made an excellent star{. Three soil technologists of the: Sofl Conservation Service have " bei mapping soil and vegetative cover types since July 15 in the face of many difficulties. While the lack of a detailed base map, the dense jrowth of timber, and inclement weather have somewhat retarded the rate of mapping, the entire pro- gress made so far has been very satisfactory. The soil survey party, headed by W. A. Rockie, Assistant Soil Conservator, plans to stay in the field until the middle of October. Along with the soil survey a com- plete forage and wildlife study of the valley and its adjacent moun- tainous area is being conducted by Lawrence J. Palmer, senior biglo= gist of the United States Biologlcfl Survey. Palmer is assisted by a se- lected group of six CCC boys, This phase of the survey will furnish in- formation on the potentialities of the region as a livestock and sheep raising area. : Agencies Cooperate The Bureau of Agricultural Eco- nomics in cooperation with the Gen= eral Land Office has seni two men into the field, Dr. V.

Two full sea- sons will be required to complete Nome Survey Started Besides serving as secretary and physiographer to the Matanuska field party, Dr. Bauer found time to spend two weeks at Nome for the purpose of initiating a preliminary survey of the Seward Peninsula. This survey is being undertaken by the | Alaska Planning Council on request | of its member from the Second Di- vision, Anthony Polet of Nome. With the assistance of the Northwestern | Chamber of Commerce and of vari- | ous local government agencies, the project has made a good start, so| that an initial report may be ex- pected by next spring. In speaking before the various Chambers of Commerce at Ancnoi- age, Nome, Fairbanks and Seward, Dr. Bauer had occasion to inform Alnskans all over the Interior of the work of the Alaska Planning Coun- cil in general, and of its pamcipa-i tion in regional studies in particu- lar. “These contacts made and the first hand impressions gained tlur-‘ ing this trip,” the doctor says, “will | prove invaluable for my future work‘ as planning consultant.
