Dunning, 1011 American Bank Building. IRON LUNG ASSURED On the basis of the response to date, there is no question but that sufficient money will be raised here within the next day or two to purchase the portable iron lung which will be Juneau's invaluable safeguard against infantile paralysis attacks. Industry, labor, civic, fraternal and patriotic or- ganizations have responded along with private citi- zens to make it possible for Juneau to have an iron lung on hand for an emergency. To all contribu- tors, the committee in charge of the campaign ex-| presses its sincere thanks. Several contributors have asked what will hap- pen if there is some money left in the fund after the iron lung has been bought and delivered to the community, The committee promises, in that event, that any surplus will be put to a use compatible with the purpose for which the entire fund was con- tributed. Prospective donors need have no fears that their gifts may not be needed or that any of the fund will not be put to good use. There is always good work along this line which a little money will do. Again Juneau has demonstrated that Alaska really has a golden heart—in the generosity of its people. WHAT ENGLAND FIGHTS FOR The distinction—so vast—between democracy and totalitarianism has never been better expressed than by Lord Halifax, British Ambassador to the United | States. In a talk to Americans the tall envoy tells in 8 word what his nation is fighting for and what the world will not see again for scores of years if his nation falls. Says the Ambassador: “We British are wont to say that we are fight- ing for freedom and for democracy—for freedom, as the quality of life that we desire; for democracy as the system of government which is at once its best expression and the surest guarantee for its pro- tection. ‘What do we mean when we use these large words? “I.can only tell you what I mean, and what I know my fellow-countrymen mean, even if they do «not always translate it into precise language; and I do not think you will take any different view. “There seem to us to be certain principles that are essential to life as we wish to”live and see it lived. “Pirst, the religious principle of the absolute value of every human soul; “Second, the moral principle of respect for per- sonality and for conscience; “Third, the social principle of individual liberty, finding its expression in two ways: in the sphere of politics through equal opportunity, justice and the rule of law; and economically, through the di- rection of national effort to the creation of condi- tions that may bring some real security into the daily life of our humblest citizen; “And, finally, the domestic pringiple of the sanc- tity and solidarity of the family, which is the natural development of the individual. p “It is only by slow process that man has learned to apprehend these principles. They have come to him by Christianity and by other great religions. | They have drawn vitality from the best of human thought throughout the centuries. For us they are | expressed and protected by democracy, and that is | why we value it. . . . ‘ | “Now there is no inch of common ground be- alween those who accept and reject those principles, or assert and deny those rights.” Remaking the World (Cincinnati Enquirer) The New York German Library of Information, diligently and apparently unmolestedly spreading the germs of Nazism throughout the nation, now has favored the American press with copies of an atlas, | “The War in Maps.” As might be imagined, it is much less an atlas than a book of propaganda striv- ing to exploit the theme mentioned in the foreword: “The old world is dying; a new world is being born.” The grotesque mentality behind the effort, how- ever, is remarkable. For instance, one sees in the atlas color maps of the Western Hemisphere, with Canada, Bermuda, Honduras, Trinidad, and the Falkland Islands all zoned and circled in brilliant yellow. The meaning? As the text explains, the map shows how England is a “threat to the Monroe Doctrine.” This would have been grotesque enough in the light of Great Britain’s help in upholding the Monroe Doctrine over a period of a century, but it was rendered even more so by the leasing of British defense bases to the United States last fall. The “atlas,” while published in the United States this year, evidently was compiled last July. Certain other maps in the book are no less subtle. Ornate maps near the close, for instance, use several colors in their efforts to show “the hope- less long-distance blockade of Europe.” The most engaging feature of these is the use of arrow-headed | red lines streaming out from Germany, France, and | Norway into the Atlantic, and from Italy out past| Gibraltar, heading toward the restful shaded green of the Western Hemisphere. { The backpiece of the atlas also is worthy of note. It is a map of the world as viewed from just below the North Pole, showing Germany and her conquered territories, including Italy, in glowing orange, Spain in brown, and Russia in a shaded brown sprawling halfway around the world into virtual touching dis- tance of our own Alaska, neatly done in green. If it doesn’t comfort all of the followers of Fritz Kuhn in the hope that Der Tag is not far distant, it isn't the fault of the German Library of Information. Glimpse of the Future (Philadelphia Record) The Bell Telephone laboratories of New York, we learn, have invented a “voice dialing” telephone system. It automatically connects the party you want when you speak the number into the trans- mitter; there is no need to dial. What we want to know is this: If the device is set, say, for a Brooklyn accent in New York, what | happens when a Southern says “Vandduhbilt Foah | Foah Two Foah Foah”? And what happens when a man gets the wrong number and starts swearing into- the mouthpiece? Science, we suppose, will have an answer. It'll probably invent a mouthpiece that not only talks back, but corrects your pronunciation. In the spring the dictator's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of destruction.

Wallace promised to see what could be done about obtaining help from the United States. However, when he broached the matter to the Presi- dent, Rocsevelt regretfully explained that planes and instructors could not be spared at this time. All avail- able were needed for our own army | and navy and for the British. However, the Presidermt suggested, | as a way out of the dilemma, that| Mexico be invited to send a number | of youths to get their training in this country. Wallace readily agreed, and the State Department was en- trusted with the plan. WHITE HOUSE HAMBURGERS Two Pittsburgh steel workers are telling their buddies a fabulou: ory of their experiences in Washington | is last week. And the story is true. Sent as union delegates to get the approval of Phil Murray on the new wage contract with Jones and Laugh- lin Steel Company, they arrived in Washington late at night and were unable to obtain rooms in the pack- ed downtown hotels. Finally they phoned a fashionable outlying hos- telry, which had a suite vacant for the night that it would rent for $10. Carrying their battered suitcases, they hustled out and were ushered into a handsome six-room suite. Be- fore retiring one of the men picked up the phone; ‘asked for room serv- ice, and ordered ‘“six hunburgerslpresldency of the New York swck| Try “Swell,” exclaimed the delighted steel worker, “how much do I owe you?” “Nothing, sir,” the waiter said “This is with the compliments of the White House.” The steel worker blinked. “Some- thing’s screwy somewhere,” he re- marked, “but it's okay with me, pal. Tell the President thanks.” Next morning the hotel cashier cleared up the mystery. The suite they had occupied belonged to Sec- retary Frank Knox, who was out of town, and they had apparently pick- ed up his phone connected directly | with the White House. | | SHIPPING SHORTAGE The report that 40 per cent of | the lend-lease cargoes are being sunk only part of the stou of the acute | shipping situation facing Britain in the North Atlantic. Because of the lack of ships, huge stocks of raw materials are piling up at U. 8. ports. The accumulations have become so large that in some instances, such as steel, the British are actually turning back some of it for use in U. 8. defense production rather than let it lie idle on the | docks. MERRY-GO-ROUND Insiders give Theodore S. Watsan, héad of the Manhattan Railway Company, the inside track for the INAUGURATED BY PAN AIR Fairbanks Will Be Within Ten Hours of Seattle Four Times Weekly Four round trip flights weekly be- tween Seattle and Fairbanks with stops at Juneau each way will be inaugurated by Pan American Air- ways Friday as the first flight of the new service roars out of Boeing Field in Seattle bound for Fair- banks, 1,620 miles away. According to a new schedule re- leased today by the Alaska Division of Pan American, Lodestars will leave Seattle for Juneau and Fair- banks on Sunday, Monday, Wednes- day and Friday and will return southbound to Seattle on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The new service, bringing the in- terior of the Territory within ten hours of Seattle, follows the inaug- uration of Clipper service to the Ter- ritory by less than a year. —e Subscrioe ' to the Dauy Alaska Empire—~the paper with the larges ; § ¥ classitied ad tn Tne Empire THAPPY BIRTHDAY | MAY 12 !

Isn't it very unwise for a girl to write some words of endear- ment on a photograph cf herself that she is giving to a young man? A. Yes; it is very unwise. She may regret it many times in the future Q. Shouldn't one be grateful when a friend has pointed out to him a very glaring fault that should be corrected? A. Yes.
