THE PE R! NTENDENT Appointment ‘of J. A.

H. Metzgar in con- ducting the business of the mine in a way to make every resident of Juneau proud to say he lives in the city which is the home of the Alaska Juneau Mr. Williams' promotion comes as the reward of 18 years of loyal service in the employ of the mine. President P. R. Bradley, in making the an- nouncement, says significantly “These changes are all in accord with the com- pany’s policy of promoting loyalty whenever possible, | all in accordance with the theory that such em- ployees are entitled to first call on any vacancies that may occur, and which in turn offer opportunity for well-deserved promotions.” the well-deserved G.

Lord Lothian offered one answer in an unusually blunt speech at Yale yesterday. It was not the answer of those Americans who have as- sumed that the British fleet would escape to Canada, thus holding the British Empire together and solving our own defense problem of keeping Germany from the New World, Such assumptions, Lord Lothian suggested, were as, false as the French faith in the Maginot Line. He predicted that the fleet would | fight desperately to defend the island of Great Britain, and might suffer heavy losses; for the island |c itadel, he said, was the keystone of Empire security. |Only if Great Britain is overrun “and the greater |part of the fleet has been sunk in action,” according to the British Ambassador, would the remnants of | the British Navy leave home to defend the domin- |ions across the seas, The ecrystal of the immediate future is too murky for any American to say on this subject that ;‘th British Ambassador is wrong. In any case, he has done us a service by helping to dispel wishful thinking. We can afford no illusions about the risks that face us. The plain truth is that for more than a century our sea defense has depended upon the existence of a powerful British Navy, keeping the |sea lanes open to our friends and closing the Euro- | pean entrances to the New World to possible enemies. |'The defeat of England this summer might -easily |leave us, as Lord Lothian said, with “a one-ocean navy to protect a two-ocean front.” For this rea- | son, among many others, we owe it to ourselves to speed the delivery to England of those weapons of self-defense which she so badly needs. \ (.dllant Knight | By (Philadelphia Record) Who said Carter Glass is old? How could it ever be suggested that, just be- ‘r‘au\v this veteran editor-statesman can dip a pen in caustic vitriol or make the Capitol echo with | phrases of polished silver he must be deaf to the whispers of moonlight zephyrs? Old at 82? Immune to love just because his | hair is as the snow? He is from Virginia, suh, where knighthood remains constantly in flower; where ro- mance rides the south winds from the Blue Ridge |even to the Great Dismal Swamp itself. Besides, this is June, when magic is in the air and mystery is in the heavens. Is age only measurable by sheets torn from a calendar, or figures on a dial, rather than by what the heart does and what the soul is? Anyhow, Carter Glass at 82 takes a bride as blithely as a newly-graduated Bachelor of Arts trades in his other bachelor status. Thus are cynics again confounded and gloomy realism lightened by moonbeams. All Virginia glows, | and with splendid cause. No story-book white charger ever bore a more JULY 8 Michael Grummett Rev.
