Dunning, 1011 Amerjcan Bank Bullding. SMOKE SCREEN Always shrewd in squeezing the utmost propa- ganda value from their aggressions, the Nazis have not failed in the present campaign against Russia Hitler began by bringing forward “evidence” that Russia was preparing to attack Germany. But the main propaganda effort of the Nazi regime is the attempt to make the attack on Russia a great moral crusade against Communism. Finland has been compelled to enter the service | of the Nazis, Hungary and Rumania also are en- listed. Italy, of course, declared war on MOSCOW. And Spain is being encouraged to send volunteers to fight the Reds. After he discovered the real strength of the Red Army to be moré than was an- ticipated, Hitler sent out a call for “token” to be recruited from all his allies and vassals—to fight an ideological war, of course. Actually, ideologies have nothing to do with it. Hitler posed for years as the world’s bulwark against Communism, and won some credence among appeas- ers in various countries. Then he found the Com- munist and Nazi creeds fitted together well enough to permit a Russo-German entente. This lasted al- most two years, until the moment was ripe for a reversal. Now all the old anti-Communist slogans are being dusted off and put to work. Nazism and Communism are amazingly similar today. There is no choice, and no need to choose. Germany is steadily pursuing a program of world conquest, using various states as allies and then de- stroying them one by one. Russia is pursuing a pol- icy which is purely Russian, not ideological. But the Relch is trying to make capital out'of the capitalist world's very natural hatred for Communist doctrine. Nobody should be deceived by the attempt to make a great moral crusade out of the invasion of armies, | | Russta. Tt 15 stmply a mintary-opesation: - The | can plunder Catholic Poland, Pwlesmnt‘flolhntuana !Orthodox Greece -as ehstly as’ antiréligious ~Soviet Russia. And the Nazis are plundering all the church- es and making war on all the religions in the areas they already control. When such a power sets out on a moral crusade, it is a smoke screen and should | be recognized as such. | Going back just one generation it was the burn- |ing ambition of every boy not just to ride in an | automobile, but to take the wheel. Parents shook | their heads and told about the adventurous neighbor | who bought g horseless carriage and ran'through a 1hnchmg rack while tugging at the steering wheel and yelling, “Whoa.” But this did not deter boys who grew up with the automobile, and they lived to prove that the limousine was as safe as the phaeton. Such is the history of the ‘airplane, which, al- SAFETY IN FLYING though it was born not long after its brother, was | | three - decades or more becoming a common ‘carrier. A striking revelation of the safety of the air- plane comes in a report of the Civil Aeronautics ‘Admmlslrntlon which in less than three years has {turned out 70,000 pilots. Four and a half million | miles have been flown to each fatality. C.A.A. courses are open primarily to college stu- | dents, and schools in all parts of the country give | regular credits so that other study is lightened for those who seek wings. | In the summer of 1940 there were trained 26,080 | pilots with only eight killed, eight sent to hospitals |and 21 victims of minor injuries. In the fall of the same year 30,798 took the course with 10 killed, four | hospital cases and 14 minor injuries, In the spring of this year, with 30,694 students, the records reveal | ‘only three fatalities and two hospital cases. | These students obtain insurance from private companies, and the original $3,000 policies, cover- ing the student from the time he leaves the campus until return, cost $35. This has been reduced five times and the premium is now only $7.20 with $1,000 | | hospital benefits thrown in. With air power proving its supremacy in the world, the government used commendable foresight in launching this program, for it has developed an enthusiasm for flying among youth far beyond the most optimistic expectations. It has now been tied | in directly with national deren‘se. THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, JULY 15, 1941.™ 19: [ sunTmon T -Yue [wep [rhur] i T sar | | | o T oy | HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULY 15 A. J.

Paul i o e G ey HOROSCOPE “The stars incline " ' || but do noi compel” | | | | | WEDNESDAY, JULY 187 Strong adverse planetary ‘influ-| ences are active today which may bring perplexities to employers. and men who exercise power in finance or Government. HEART AND HOME:: There should be a serene spirit inthe home this configuration which en- courages women to take a philo- sophical view of life. The stars to- day encourage the cultivation of a faithful spirit which makes the best of each day as it comes and declines to borrow trouble. This should "be a fortunate date for those engaged in technical work. Girls should push their energies along the most practical lines. Training of some | sort should be sought by all. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: This is not a promising configuration for The Sailors Know (Seattle Post-Intelligencer) i | Maritime Memorial Day is a holiday of long| ! standing with the Sailors Union of the Pacific. | It is, therefore, particularly noteworthy that the | Seattle branch of the union, recognizing that present conditions provide a real emergency, has resolved to work cargo on all Alaska ships on that day, and -also to man vessels scheduled for sailing. Otherwise the | holiday will be observed as usual. | Organized labor as a whole has served the country well in furthering the defense program. There have been regrettable instances to the con- trary. Set up against these is the voluntary action of the Sailors Union this week. These men know there is an emergency. They know, too, what importance Alaska may assume in the immediate future and how essential it is that our ramparts to the north be strengthiened at once. George didn't catch the remark, men at the top of human affairs here in the United States. There will be many anxieties with increas- | ed sense of responsibility toward the nation. Greed which encourages graft and profit through pull will affect men of all stations in fife. True patriotism now must be ft ned into flame as the nation pros- pers through the changing eondi- tions due to world war. Great pro- fits will be realized and much.will, be absorbed by taxes. | NATIONAL ISSUES: Labor diffi- culties wil precipitate drastic Gov- ernment measures to prevent strik-| es that impede preparations for de-| fense. A strike of dreadful poten- tialities will arouse public fear and widespread resentment. Despite ar- bitration and Government interest| in a major trouble which will be a| Midsummer menace, there will, be! general impatience which presages Washingio; Merry- Go-Round {Continued from Page One) “However, the last time I yielded to the Ordnance office in a mat- ter like this was when I was Se- tretary of War under President Taft—and regretted it. The Ord- nance people had turned down the‘ Lewis machine-gun. General Croz-| ier, a very dear friend of mine, was opposed to it. I went behind the barracks and shot the gun, but in the end I bowed to General Crozier and the Army passed it up. “Well the world now knows what became of the Lewis machine-gun.

So last week Stimson decided not to make the same mistake with the trackless tank. At Ft. Knox pictures were taken from inside the tank, looking out through a gun-hole, and it was proved that the eight wheels | made the tank far smoother and thus more deadly in its aim. Also Stimson figured that it would take four to five months anyway to bufld two tanks, and 17 could be built in the same period. So in the end he said: “To hell with Ordnance,” and overruled General Wesson. NOTE—The original $58,000 price of the trackless tank, considered exhorbitant, finally was reduced to about $35,000. Assistant Secretary of War McCloy, who handled the negotiations with Ordnance, got in- to a veritable hair-pulling contest with them, but he was only reflect- ing Secretary Stimson's views.
