If Germany should continue to be successful in Norway and end by making it her own, the facts advanced by Mr. Stefansson would take on considerable meaning. It is but 700 miles from Norwegian landing fields to Iceland, he points out, and from there to Green- |land only 180 miles. And from Greenland, one can walk on the ice into Canada. Iceland is in the Gulf am, and has a climate, summer and . winter, not unlike that of Baltimore. As an air route, the Norway-Iceland-Greenland-Canada course is much better than the great circle route farther souti, Mr. Stefansson is an explorer and geographer, Greenland and Iceland provide convenient land- ing fields. One is a possession of Denmark, and therefore now a de facto possession of Germany, The other was linked to Denmark by a personal Union, and now has declared its independence, which was swiftly recognized by the United States. Norway's status will be uncertain until the German and Allied armies fight to a decision. Mr. Stefansson is an explorer andd geographer, {and not a military strategist. He gives no warnings. But he has shown that a German victory in the present war, if it included the conquest of Norway, would put the strongest air force of the world squarely astride the best and shortest air route to North America, with at least a claim to sovereignty over all the insular links on that route, These are indeed facts worth considdering. They are particularly worth the attention of those who | have been insisting with such certitude that the United States has no stake in the European war.

It meant the loss of much of the Nazi Navy. They paid their navy price of Swedish ore. They've got to have that ore fo win this war. No Nazi magic can make 30 minus 22 equal 30. Germany can tighten her belt and make shift with the oil and food reserves that trickle in the back door up the Danube. But steel must come from Sweden. Germany -knows this. England and France know it as well. That's why the German move north to protect her steel supply lines was met instantly by immediate Al- lied action. In the last war, Germany faced virtually the same situation, with the important exception that she had the Alsace-Lorraine steel production to bolster her own and the Swedish supply was not threat- ened. With that, she held out for four years, until food and other stores were finally exhausted. But Germany hasn't Alsace- Lorraine this time. It's Sweden or nothing. 13 Gfiflflafe, Sitka School Sheldon Jtmon Instifu- tion Is Having Com- mencement Days SITKA, Alaska, Correspondence) — Jackson School entered its 20th annual commencement week this morning at 10:30 o'clock with an impressive Baccalaureate service at the First Presbyterian Church.

But automobile deaths for the first three months of 1940, the Federated Safety Councils of America reports, show a “general upward trend.” The danger signal is sounded. A large percentage of our automobile accidents and injuries are preventable, Perhaps casual acceptance of the idea that we are driving and crossing streets more safely is the greatest barrier to reduction of the accident list.
