One day Paul Reynaud is Premier of France and directing a furi- ous war effort; the next he steps ashore as a pri-| vate citizen on the United States mainland. One day the army of France is called unbeatable on its own ground; the next it is a horde of fleeing men Developments—all of them crushing blows to the Allies, to the United States and to civilization as we have known it—come too fast for us to grasp their full meaning. The tempo of war has speeded greatly since 1918, The side with a slight advantage is le to roll its enemies back many miles a day. Germany has that advantage which gives its blitzkrieg ¢he momentum to drive unchecked through France. While the mechanized forces of the Nazis carry forward the annihilation which Hitler promised only a fortnight ago, the wolf and the jackal meet in Munich to divide the carcass of France lini gets any of it, it will be more than he deserves. Probably Hitler will offer Italy just enough to insure him the aid of the Italian fleet in the larger battle against England. Whatever the dictators decide be- tween themselves, the outcome of their conlprencej can only mean destruction for the French empire and nation. The terms which they will dictate to France are certain to wring the last drop of blood and sacrifice out of the French people. Any comments made about the war are likely to be out of date by the time they reach print, so fast is the military and political battle moving. But it is safe to say today, tomorrow and perhaps for the next decade and century, that most of the news coming from Europe will be bad news, A JOB WE CAN DO It may be that the more spectacular sufferings the refugees in France and England are eased for the moment, though even yet ways still are filled with the pitiful cavalcade of old men, women and children in desperate search food and safety American public should need no daily of shelter But the of account of the machine-gunning and the blasting of Essential, Rftective e S 5 GOOD hard-hitting reasons!

ST rl’[ugces w kno | one of the greatest problems which has faced human- ity in at least a quarter of a century. } The facts are indisputable. It is not a matter of propaganda or of conjecture that there are many hundreds of thousands of people who need our help in the refugee centers of France and England. They are there, visibly deprived of all their possessions ex- | cept what they have managed to carry on their backs, | visibly in need of food and shelter, and in many in- stances visibly in want of medical attention. In France and England there is no insensibility to the needs of these people, But they are nations at war, fightimg for their existence. They have neither the means nor the time to minister to the refugees’ needs in full. There is very little we can do about the European war. But we can do this. We can buy up and send overseas some of our surplus stocks of foods and other commodities, as lour share in the humanitarien task. -We can see that there is no epidemic of diseaSe for want of medical supplies among the army of refugees. In general, we can relieve somewhat ‘the -burden of misery and sorrow which has fallen overnight upon the backs of millions of innocent péople. But we cannot accomplish this merely by wish- ing it done. Each of us must help some, each to the extent of his ability. The American Red.

The . Senate judiciary | committee has acted favorably on a House-approved | measure to register and finger-print all aliens. There will be a tendency, however, to look solely on the alien as a source of trouble. This is not enough. Britain experienced this difficulty in the early days of the war but finally realized that the Mosleys and the Ramsays were more of a threat to defense. Commenting on this problem, with special reference to Nazis, the Times of London said: “It is curious, however, that the demand should | have been directed mainly, and in some instances exclusively, against the aliens in our midst. | The aliens in this country are not the only, nor even the most probable, material for a “fifth column.” . The Quislings in other countries have not been ‘Germam And there are forms of activity, not consciously traitorous, which might do just as much | damage as any German agent by open or secret | obstruction of the task of winning the war. . But it is, at least, clear that the accident of race should not be made the ground for watching some people and neglecting others.” | England has not neglected the others. The United States can learn a lesson from this experi- |ence; To negleet native suspects is to leave a whole flank exposed to sedition and sabotage. | Power Reserves Abundant for Defense | (Philadelphia Record) | Wasn't it Roosevelt who “ruined the ultilities” of lv.he U.S.A., according to Mr. Wendell Willkie? | Well, C. W. Kellogg, President of the Edison Electric Institute, announced that “never in history ‘hus any country in the world been so well prepared with power for munitions production, and new capac- | ity can be added as fast as munitions factories can | be built.” Looks like that famous “death sentence” has been commuted. Recently United Artists presented “My 8Son, | My Son.” Now 20th Century Fox offers “Four Sons.” Who'll make it six? We are told that the Allies have decided to carve up Germany after the war. It will be their fervent hope thereafter that all Teutonic troubles will be little ones. EMPIRE PHONE: 374 REASONS WHY The Daily Alaska EMPIRE Produce Effective . .
