Wellimgton, 1011 tamarican Benk Bullding A JOB FOR AMERICA There are a lot of sleepy and worried men in Juneau today. But they wouldn’t trade the wonder- | ful evening they spent listening to the distinguished and informed Clipper passengers for any amount | of slumber or peace of mind. Alaska really came in contact with what is going on in the world when the Alas] Clipper brought into our midst these two dozen keen men It was, as many remarked, probably the out-|institutions. their appreciation of the advan-| standing meeting in the history of the Territory. | e e tages of a nation at peace. | Never before have so many really brilliant men, all | A Business Affairs: Mining and oll' of them recognized authorities and fine speakers, | America’s Open Door will engage much attention ““_‘ b 4 —_— through the season.

To or- ganize such a defense, as General DeWitt said, we| are going to have to think big and think fast But it can be done and will be done. America has the men, the money and the materials. It has the ingenuity to design tanks, planes and arms superior to those of Germany and poss dustrial plants to turn them out faster than all Europe. For the preservation of the United States we will have to organize and arm, as President Beck of Colliers declared, with the effectiveness of a dictator- ship and we will have to do it at once. All of the speakers last night stressed the nec- | essity of speed. In a few weeks we must convert a nation of talkers into a nation of doers. Labor will have to give way; capital will have to make concessions; the political parties will have to achieve a national unity; all of us will have to work harder, | pay higher taxes and give up some of the freedom we have cherished. That was the exhortation we heard last night from our visitors from the States, No one who list- ened to these brilliant men doubts that they know whereof they speak. Governor Gruening described the moment as one which it would be understatement to call a crisis, The world, and America with it, “has arrived at Essential, Bffective 5 GOOD hard-hitting reasons!

It was a great day for [ the Territory, bringing us to within a few hours lof the States. Many is the illustrative anecdote I being told in Juneau today about the speed of the| | new s ce.

Some of its members would welcome a situation, it| | appears, in which America would set out to out- ‘Hnlrr Hitler and establish a new high in autarchy y | This point of view fails to take into account two | | highly important factors in the equation. If na- | |tional self-sufficiency is all that is claimed for it,| |how does it come about that the nations which| practice it in the highest degree are the nations | | which also are reaching out for new land, new ma- terials and are most concerned as to adequate sup- | plies of foreign exchange? | | Furthermore, in weighing the merits of free economies as against those of autarchy the all-| | important consideration is the standard of living| | realized, All that Hitler has done has been at tre- mendous cost to the comfort of his people; his is a great war achievement bought at the price of butter | for the bread of the German people Nothing so well as the economic and social failure lof Naziism illustrates the danger of its extension. | Nothing could argue more convincingly for the preservation of a free economy and our democratic example of citizenship, to be willing to learn from |him as well as to share experiences with him, to | bear in mind that the good American is one who be- | | lieves in certain principles of democracy, tolerance, |and respect for the rights of others. The alien has his obligations too. If he plans a permanent residence here, one of his obligations is to renounce his allegiance to the foreign Govern- | ment of which he has been a citizen or a subject |and to become a citizen of his adopted land. He ican do this by filing a declaration of intention to |become an American citizen—his “first papers.” At |the end of another two years he can petition for | citizenship, and after a total residence of five years |in this country he can take an examination which itlon he must be able to speak English and must possess enough knowledge of our form of govern- ment to convince a Federal or State judge that he can vote intelligently, Then he ceases to be an alien. To suggest that the resident foreigner apply for citizenship is to offer him this country’s hospitality ‘z\nd protection, He should not stay outside on the doorstep. The door is open. He should come in | and help the rest of the family with the chores. Chile has withdrawn from the League of Na- tions. One of these days that body is going to be too weak for any good.

It is a time to| | prepare “for months that will re-| quire many readjustments, social, financial and political. Heart and Home: Girls probably will have receptive attitude toward romance, although the genéral trend through the summer will be toward initiative on the part of young women, Good luck attends the beginning of new friendships. Home life should be made extra-| ordinarily attractive through this summer of world change. Most| blessed of all dwellers on the Earth, Americans should express interest to great numbers of per- sons. National Issues: As a sequel to agitation caused by census queries, | efforts to require registration and finger-printing of men, women and children will gain strong support. The spread of foreign agents and | spies will encourage careful listing of citizens according to their occu- pations and sources of income. Eu- ropean astrologers foresee for this nation growth of power with cor- responding need of protection from secret enemies. International Affairs: Japan is to offer difficult problems for the United States through Hawaii and the Philippines, but its power to cause anxiety will be indirect. Through Mexico will come certain perils, for from the south evil por- tents are discerned. Again. the element of surprise must be recog- nized in a world in agonies of change. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of per- plexities. Quarrels should be avoid-~ ed with more than ordinary care. Children born on this day will be original in their ideas, enter- prising and energetic. They may have literary talents.

Short Cut To Safely DETROIT, Mich, June 21.—How to get ouz of trouble with the bases full and no one out was demon- strated in a local high school base- ball game recently by Pitcher Al Thielmans of St. Ambrose. Facing a pinch hitter for the De La Salle team, Thielmans sud- denly whirled and threw to second base to nip Ed Skotzke for the first out. He assumed the pitching position and threw a ball to the batsman, Catcher Mill Lendzion whipping the ball to third where Jack Goyke was tagged out. Now with two men out and George Detloff on first, Thielmans again stepped to the rubber, eyed Lendzion's signal and suddenly whipped the ball to first where Detloff was nipped. De La Salle never recovered from the shock and Thielmans breezed in a 5 to 2 winner. ——— e — Wyoming's name was borrowed from a valley of the same name in v B Smith- ' N . Drs.
