There are now 610 Junior Colleges in the country, an increase of 35 for the year and an increase of 205 in the past dozen years. California has the most, 64, and Texas is next with 43.

Average enrollment the nation over is only 397, which is considerably less than half that of the Juneau Public Schools.

A few examples w)ll! serve, Germany, an ally of Italy, has normal rela- | tions with Greece, with whom Italy is at war. The Germans, with a sizable dipomatic staff and a few | thousand business men and “tourists” in Greece, are able to gather information of importance to Italy, (call them defense Whose interest in winning the larger war against ) are imposed GTeat Britain is identical with Germany's. Japan, an ally of Germany and TItaly, is at peace with Great Britain. Russia, a non-belligerent ally of Germany and Italy, is helping China, which is at war with Japan. The French Vichy Government has an uneasy peace with Britain and is represented by a Minister in the British Dominion of Canada, but Britain is sponsor of the French de Gaulle forces, who are in conflict with the Viehy Government. It does not take a master mind to figure out that such a situation cannot go on indefinitely, for be- neath it all lies the one salient, easily understand- lable fact—the world is, indeed, becoming unified.
