A week ago we read of two young Juneau skiers leaving for the States so they could get a sample of the winter sport at Sun Valley, a thousand miles south of here. But the unseasonable weather cannot last forever and it is certain that winter will arrive soon. warm In the East, railroads have put into full swing their annual schedt of snow trains, a service which has grown amazingly since the first such train was tried in the States not very long ago. This year a ski plane service, as well, will be oper- ated out of New York to Canadian resorts. Here, when there is snow, it is at our front door The cult of the long shoe has had a stimulating effect on sports in Alaska and the Nation It couples good outdoor se with special kind of thrill Soon, as the white flakes start will be eager hours of anticipation, busy ments among experts and tyros alike as to the merits of woods, bindings and waxes, Then will come the test of the snow; the long climb into the Douglas ski meadows, or the new luxury of the ski lift (if enough snow falls to allow the motor to be dragged winter exerci: a very to fall, there with argu- into position on a sled); then the running, ranging from the timid, spill-punctuated straight-away of the novice to the breathless down hill sialom of the expert. On the snowy peninsula stretching from Western Europe to the tic Circle the proficiency of skis of the Finnish troops has brought discomfiture and defeat to Soviet invaders. In this country we can be abundantly grateful that our favorite slopes know ski-running only peaceful sport. PEACE NOTE Yondon dispatch to the New York Times: “Industrialists who have undertaken heavy “om- mitments to supply the vast equipment needed for the British fighting forces and civil defense are anxious to insure themselves against the risk of an early armistice.” THIS WONDERFUL COUNTRY speedy aging of tobacco has been discovered—by a pretty year-old Chicago girl research worker, who had to learn to smoke cigars before she could conduct her experiments.

It was once said there are only two ways ol‘ jealing with a fallen foe. The victor must either | crush him completely or make friends with him. | The Nazis do not hestitate to completely crush their | iemie: Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland are‘ )eing Germanized in the best Prussian tradition. The universities in Poland, like those in Czecho- lovakia, have been closed. Even the secondary hools e been shut for fear they will become | he centers of subversive activity. The Polish lan- i} cannot be spoken in public without fear Of‘ wrest. This sort of government can only breed esentment and eventual retaliation The Romans when they built their world empire allow subject populations to retain vere careful to heir language and traditions.

Every country completely crushed reported former president of the Danzig Senate that what the Nazis must devise is new forms of slav If the examples of Czechoslovakia and Poland are expre: ns of that wish it is evident he has not succceded. The Nazi policy in those | countri contains an amazing lack of originality. They slavish examples of old forms of alien rule that can engender nothing but contempt. Even vithout a war the Nazi rule in these countries would be doomed to eventual disaster. No people will long | submit to such ruthlessness without an effort to win back their freedom. Peoples like the Czechs and the Poles, whose hisiory has been one long story of ef to throw off alien overlords, will not rest under the rule of what Berlin is pleased to name Nazi civilizatuon, Planes for Finland Without committting unneutral act, the American Government has waived its right to take delivery of 44 naval planes, so that Finland {may buy them. The navy will get its planes a little | (Cincinnati Enquirer) | an new later, with still further improvements worked into their design and construction. At least 999 out of every 1,000 Americ; we may be sure, will applaud this action, Great Britain and France have formally nounced their decision to help Finland repel invasion, but not by any action which would precipitate war | with' Russia on their own part. Italy have sent aid to the Finns, as did the Allies in ad- vance of their official declaration of policy. Sweden, we may be certain, is helping unostentatiously but effectively. All this would count for naught if the Finnish Army itself were not made of stern stuff. But after three weeks of war, it has proved its ability to stop the immensely superior forces of the Soviet Union If they can hold on for another month, foreign aid ought to be of such dimensions as to give them .snme chance of final succes: The most serio course, in airplanes, shortage in Finland was, or of which she had possibly 300 or 400 in all categories and ages. This was and doubtless still is the most critical need. It is being wet from at least three countries. After planes, Finland's greatest need probably is additional trained troops and equipment for them. This poses a difficult problem. Any country which manufactures planes can sell them to F‘mldnd without being unneutral. But no country can wnd armed forces to Finland without risking involve- | ment itself in war with Russia. Neither can any naval power help the Finns to combat the Russian blockade, save by unneutral action. Even then, naval assistance cannot be given without German acquiescence, The critical test will come when Fin- land’s reserve of trained soldiers is exhausted. | Pocketbook and Politics (Philadelphia Record) | Those who are sure they can foretell a man's politics by his income bracket can have an interest- ing time with the results of the newest Gallup poll. | Dr. Gallup and his inquiring elves divide Americans | into three income groups. They discover that 43 percent of the top income bracket approve of Mr. Roosevelt as President, 60 percent of the middle income bracket have also looked upon him and found him good, while 76 percent of the lower bracket give him their indorsement. Certainly the income groups give different re- isults, and the “ill-fed, ill-housed, ill-clad” lower {third like the President most. But how will an “ox'thodox economic determinist account for the fact that 43 percent of the top third approve of the | President? This is a vital statistic, if ever there was one. IL po: a question which those arrogant ‘scothssyers who will tell you what is in a man’s {mind from a single peep into his pocketbook will have some difficulty in answering Can it be (in defiance of Karl Marx and his | mixed brood of progeny) that almost half those Americans who are comfortably well off approve Mr. Roosevelt's supposed “war” upon them?
