Because| ‘or rules laid down by the International Postal Union, | Hitler is able to ship untold thousands of booklets | | and pamphlets into this country and force the Unit-| | ed states postal authorities to distribute them mr‘1 him {free. | The method used is simple. Under existing regu-| "lmmm. the country of original transmission retains. the fees for delivery, and the country where inter- national mail is finally distributed makes the de- livery free of charge. So the Nazi goverriment merely | turns out the required stamps, attaches them to any propaganda it wishés to distribute 'in America, and| starts it on the journey to this country. Uncle Sam | handles the mail free once it gets to America. | Even the war has not handicapped the process. Hitler ships his subversive propaganda by way of | Russia, and, though this is a slower process than by | the Atlantic, it eventually reaches its destination. The German propaganda ministry has compilcd a huge mailing list of German-Americans living in the United States. Each one on the list is subjected to a constant bombardment of propaganda printed | |in both English and German. Many receive bun- | dles of 50 or more for distribution among Americans | who are not on the reguar mailing list. | The system is so designed that few (xerman- | Americans can get away from constant reminders| that they are of German extraction and should re- ‘ main loyal to the Nazi form of government, Be-| cause there is no American censorship, much of the material containg attacks against the President, the| United States system of government, the American 1 States foots the distribution bill. t forget that Hitler once said: “America o tk brink of revolution.

Let nc Fewer Tons Needed (New York Times) German figures on U-boat destruction of British | tonnage must be discounted in two ways before a| comparison is possible with the World War. In the first place, of course, Hitler's U-boat statistics are| not as authentic as those issued by Kaiser Wilhelm | IT. The ethics of official communiques have changed at Berlin. But even more important is the fact that a British ton of shipping sunk today is of consider- ably less consequence than a similar loss in 1917. The difference arises from the changed military | situation. | When the Germans set out.in 1917 to starve out | England by unrestricted submarine warfare they had | it, figured out.thgt out of 20,000,000 tons of British | shipping more than half were absorbed by military requirements, Something like 8500,000 tons were | available for feeding the people and carrying on| | trade, and the Germans felt confident that out of | this amount they could sink 600,000 tons a month. As a matter of fact, the average monthly bag was | much smaller; ! by the convoy system, but that is beside the question. The thing that counts is that today the military demands on English shipping must be much smaller, for the simple reason that in the World War there were anywhere from a million to two million British soldiers in France that had to be supplied from home. Today there is a British army in the Near East that needs shipping, but most of the soldiers are at home, where it obviously needs less tonnage to feed and JUNEAU BOATS ‘NAIIONM ANCHORED OUT IN HIGH WIND Many Craft Overdue on "Weekend” Trips- Storm fo Confinue MOVE DEFEATED BY CHAMBERITES Beale Idea for Resolution| fo President Meets with Disfavor ONTY RODEN PUBLIHES " NEW EDITION OF MINE LAW HERE Famous Boo’?firoughi Out in Revised Form for Alaska Prospectors 4 i | We miss | | ficient, Many Juneauites who went out o th sekend,” are still week- end: n scattered harbors. < today revealed at least e Juneau small boats are nchored up as fierce gales con- nue to whip out of the north, he storm-familiar mo- beth was in Auk Bay ng waiting for favorable round Point Retreat, eau area boating. o 3 Forester, Capt. | ¢ is believed still § , thée Forest & ame name Is 1 few miles from { i Mayor Harry i Lucas abo: the seiner H & H 1 underst v eroound n i party b le is said to be at r Creck i Ralph Reischl and Norman Banfield aboard the Treva are still at Bridget Cove, while party is s out aboard the Betty Ross in Icy Straits, This afternoon Sentinel Island light reported a wind just short B of 40 miles an hour, and the Weather Bureau said this afternoon i there is little hope of any change in the next 24 hours The lighthouse tender Cedar is understood to have tried several times in the last few days to make a landing at Point Refreat light station, but has so far been thwarted by strong winds and high seas. lie ——————— . -test and dryefl August in 20 years.
