Wellington, 1011 JAPAN AND ALASKA Alaskans have good reason to feel uneasy when the Japanese organize anti-American demonstrations in the Orient. We live in the American outpost | which the little yellow men will strike first if they ever become anti-American in earnest. | Just at the time the news news of disturbances Japanese fishing to spend four wires bring us word is received that nine left Japan June 3 to 5 Alas| This in- contained in a ne: in Shanghai vessels months in an waters. formation release by the Sino- W Korean Peoples' League, is relayed to the Empire by Delegate Dimond, who says in an accompanying letter that he is “unable to vouch for the accuracy of the statements contained in this press re The Sino-Korean Peoples’ League is obviously an anti-Japanese organization and its statements no| doubt are released for propaganda purposes. But the information about the fishing vessels coming to Alaska is worth taking notice of. The names and tonnages of the ships are given as follows: Tonan Maru 9866 tons; Showa Maru No. 7, 264 tons; Showa Maru No. 8, 264 tons; Toma Maru No. 57 tons; Toma Maru No. 5, 7 tons; Bommyo Maru No. 11 234 tons; Koa Maru, 2,020 tons; Taikakusan Maru, 474 tons; Hakutaka Maru 620 tons The largest of these chips is large indeed. TIts 9,866 tons compare with the 7450 tons of the steamer Alaska, the 8250 tons of the steamer Yukon and the 9,200 tons of the steamer Aleutian, the flagship of the Alaska Steamship Company fleet. The Jap- anese vessel reported herding its smaller ships into Bering Sea and perhaps Bristol Bay is larger than any of these The Sino-Korean Peoples'’ League press release adds in a footnote: ‘The Japanese fishing fleet always goes whenever the navy wants something done—needs careful watching.” If true, and it may well be true, this information | is cause for alarm in Alaska. Aside from the mili- tary significance of a Japanese flotilla’s sneaking| through our waters, the threatened danger to our fisheries is a scrious matter in itself Kilsoo K. Haan, Washington representative of the Sino-Korean Peoples’ League, adds to his press release the following: “Hon, Zenjiro Horikiri, member of the House of Peers and head of the Reorganized National Spi tual Mobilization (patriotic organization) in the May 16 directors meeting declared, ‘T am certain Japan T PRODUCTIVE POSTERS, OR DIS' grade printing work is available at The and patience saved in ordering your p matter when one considers that it is d to make estimat Expert Job Prmtmg HAND BILLS, ECONOMICAL BUSINESS TINCTIVE LETTERHEADS. s for you on the following: THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 1940. |will take drastic measures in the Southern Pacific after the Democratic Convention.' He also informed the directors that the Japanese Navy Ministry told him that the following Russian naval units and warplanes are stationed in Vladivosok: eight re- conditioned cruisers, 81 aged destroyers, 160 modern destroyers, four special speed river vessels, ten river boats, 72 submarines, 500 warplanes, Horikiri em- phasized the need of further sacrifices and declared, By divine right, the Pacific is Japan's ocean.'” The pumped-up protestations in Shanghai, the uneasiness betokened by the U. S. fleet’s remaining Western Pacific and the new tone of bel- Tokyo all seem to lend credence to the in the ligerency in propaganda report from Washington, Belatedly but on a large scale, the nation is building strong defenses in Alaska. We may well hope they will be ready by the time they are needed. | in l)cnmark Lifc (Cincinnati Enquirer) Like German-controlled Poland since last Octo- | ber, Denmark, Norway, and the Netherlands have | dropped out of the news. Only very rarely is there any dispatch at all from these conquered lands. And then the dispatch relate only to superficial mat- ters of Nazi policy as it concerns the war. Of life in the conquered countries nothing is heard. There is a good reason for this. Germany does |not want outside countries, especially important neu- | trals, to learn what tyrannies have been established |over these “inferior subject peoples.” But some day | the spread of Nazi despotism over a whole series of | | civilized neutral peoples will make a pitiful c)\aplen* in the history books. | The Danish-language newspaper Nordlyset hss [ published some unadorned facts about life in Den-| mark. It tells how the occupation by German troops | was managed, how any real resistance was made im-| { possible, how citizens were ready and eager to take| |up arms, but found their government had never de- |vised any means for a serious defense. The same disclosures include many details of |life in Denmark today. The censorship is so severe (hat only by word of mouth is any real information | passed about. The Nazis have listening posts in the telephone exchanges, so that nothing can be [said which might lead to suspicion. Emigration is | forbidden, save to those who can prove that they were only temporary residents of Denmark. The most serious effects are economic. Danish |stores of foodstuffs, industrial raw materials, and petroleum have been drained off to Germany. Trade has evaporated, ve that special form of trade which | means giving away goods of value to Germany in return for nearly worthle paper money. By fall, Danish refugees estimate, their country will be utterly ruined. lmllldl’ German Medicine (New York Times) British spokesmen are pointing out, with con- siderable force, that in a war of planes the fighting will not be confined to the air over England. Along with fighting planes to meet Hitler's bombers the | English have bombing planes of their own. They have already made their mark in the air over Ger- {many. They will no doubt do their best to give the | German people a taste of the same treatment that Hitler may be meting out to the British people. This is another way of saying that Germany from |now on, even if total victory should ultimately crown her banners, will have lost one advantage which she has enjoyed in all her previous wars in the last 70 ‘,w:u.w She has fought her wars on her enemy's |soil. Her civilian population has been spared the misery of war in its midst, of devastated cities and fields, of bombed schools and hospitals—bombed un- intentionally. uch immunity gone with the ap- pearance of aerial warfare on the scene. Thus it is not only Great Britain whose historic security behind her seas has been badly compromised by the advent of war in the air. Germany’s security behind her great land armies and her fortified zones has been similarly affected. No doubt a victorious | Nazi Reich would do its best to keep its beaten ene- mies permanently disarmed, and above all things to |deny to its opponents a chance to strike at her from the air. But even the best-laid plans of Hitler may go astray, In the longer reckoning the fact remains that in any future test of strength the air roads to Germany cannot be as completely barred to an {enemy as the approach by land or sea. The prepon- derance in air power may be with Germany but not so completely as to prevent enemy raids from time to time; in sufficient numbers to nullify the German hoast in the last World War and the present war that “our nrmles sl.and everywhere on enemy soil.” FORMS, EFFECTIVE All the above orders, or any high- Empire Printing Company.

Heart and Home: During the morning hours constructive work | should be undertaken.

Girls may expect many let- ters for young men are to be much occupied in mass training for fu- ture work of importance to the nation Business Affairs: Taxes will be discussed with anxiety as the na- tional political campaign proceeds. | Trade will be good and spending generous.

Travel and changes are well directed by the stars. Activity, enterprise, Gour- age and safety in hazardous ven-| tures are indicated by the LOll“b- uration. National Issues: The stars pres-| age a state of transitién in world | affairs which will affect the Unit-| ed States. The power of the na-| tion will cause its aid to be sought by foreign rulers, Criticism of neu- | trality policies may reach a seri- ous climax in an untoward happen- ing. There will be a wide gap at this midsummer period between the | secret Government facts regarding| our foreign relations and the de-| ductions drawn by the public. International Affairs: Bulgaria is to be in a position of great peril.| Owing to the desire to keep out of the European war the nation is to make serious mistakes in di- plomacy. Although the seers long warned the world of the perils to come, as the Germans prepared for war according to the most sci- entific methods known to military and naval experts, the Allies did not awaken early enough to prevent terrible conflict and tremendous losses. Persons whose birthdate it Js have the augury of a year of an- xieties due to quarrels with ‘part- ners or friends. Patience and di- plomacy should be cultivated, Children born on this day prob- ably will be brilliant in mind and artistic in tastes. They should be logical and well-balanced even though sensitive to an unusual de- gree. | | (Copyright, 1940) e e HESTER RESIGNS AS CAA OFFICIAL Clinton M.
