It will prove an invaluable help| to Great Britain in keeping the great sea lanes| forever closed to Nazi Germany. The French had seven.capital ships, among them speedy Dunkerque and Strasbourg of 26,000 tons; | one aircraft carrier of 22,000 tons, and seven modern heavy cruisers which should be more than a match for those of Italy in any Mediterranean combat. Among their 12 lighter cruisers are the ships of the La Galissionere class, which are designed as effici- ently as any of their size in the world, and the 6,000- | ton Emile Bertin, which can streak through the| water at almost 40 knots. The French had 59| destroyers at the outbreak of war, and a fleet of 78 submarines, including the giant Surcouf, the big- gest ever built, It would have been an irretrievable disaster to Great Britain if this fine fleet had fallen into Ger- man or Ttalian hands, to harry Allied shipping and | attack British bases. HITLER AND AMERICA Herr Hitler has just assured us he has no de- signs on the Americas. of his assurances to other victim states. what already was known of Nazi espionage and agi- tation in the Americas The cles and most is found in Rauschning, long an intimate of Hitler and a recog- nized authority on Nazism. Quoting Hitler directly, Rauschning has some very pertinent paragraphs in his authentic, trustworthy book: “Mexico is a country that capable master, It is being ruined by its government. With the treasure of Mexican soil, Germany could be rich and great!

But it is the raw material of a nation. And the Yankees have failed to create a nation from it. They have instead kept their noses in their money bags. Today this is being avenged. Their difficulties will become insuperable.” Hitler's contempt for the Wnited States and his confidence that he can sow disunity and disorder here on a moment's notice are echoed by the Ger- man High Command today, for it declares nothing the United States could possibly do will prevent the destruction of the democracies of Europe The reliance of the Nazis, in contrast to Herr Hitler’s reassuring words, is in the power of Nazi organizations throughout North and South America to produce sabotage, confusion and disunity in pro- portion to Germany's requirements, Maginot Lines (New York Times) The Maginot Line was to France what the At- lantic Ocean is to the United States. At prodigious cost in money, labor and ingenuity the French built along the German frontier a bulwark considered by | them and every one else the most impregnable for- | tification on earth. At last, they thought, we are safe from invasion, Behind a barricade that could not be breached by any weapon the last war had | produced, they felt secure against their historic enemy The Maginot Line, moreover, was more than a defense system, a fortress made to be manned py al defensive army; it was a symbol of the outlook and temper of the French people. The French wanted only to be left alone behind their bulwark. The commitments made by successive Governments in the East—the Little Entente and the Franco-Soviet pact—never received the whole-hearted support of | the little people, the petit bourgeois who are the backbone of the republic. The partnership with Britain was the sole exception to a fear of entangling alliances as deep-seated as America’s, and this was because of a greater fear—the haunting dread of facing Germany alone and unaided. Today we see that the Maginot Line was one of the greatest delusions in history. The French never even had a chance to test those mighty fortifications. The enemy flanked the line and| swarmed behind it; the final irony is that to save themselves the defenders had to abandon the steel trenches on which they had staked the national se- curity. As much as anything this is the cause of| the confusion and disintegration of the armies; the barrier they had counted on to guard them forever proved as useless as a wooden fence. France imagined and created an Atlantic Ocean | and it has failed her. On this she based her secur- ity; for this she was careless of other defenses. The; terrible moral underlined by the second Munich is| that no nation in today's world can be isolated by the width of the widest sea or the depth of the| deepest entrenchments Wings Over Juneau (Portland Oregonian) Alaska—we have you cornered!

James G. Steese, new Chairman of the Alaska Road Commission, had had a great interest in the Territory. He was about ready to assume his duties on the Alaskan board. The firm of Marshall and Newman completed the installation of a Victory air compressor pump for inflation of automobile tires. Capt. John C. Gotwals and Surveyor General R. J. Sommers left Juneau on the steamer City of Seattle enroute to the Interior for an inspection trip of several weeks. R. B. Bell, veteran canneryman of Alaska who started one of the first canneries in Alaska in 1887 on the West Coast of Prince of Wales Island, was in the city renewing old acquaintances. Headquarters for a permanent district to be established in a short time in Alaska by the Salvation Army may be located here, according to a statement which was made by Adjutant Kerr. Mrs. Edith Sheelor returned to Juneau on the Alameda after a few weeks visit in Portland, Oregon Jack Oswald, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Oswald, was to leave on the Princess Mary for the south. Mrs. H. M. Postle and two children of Thane were to leave on the| Princess Mary for California.
