Churchill's answer, Warner said, was that this was necessary. Peinting up England’s reliance on overseas transport was the grace which a British official said at a London banquet attended by the American Legion mission: “For what we are about to eat, ‘We thank thee, Lord— And the British fleet.” i Warner said that after 18 days in | England, the greatest and deepest impression gained was that the Bri- tish were determined to win at what- | ever cost, that the people were en- tirely disillusioned and resigned to the fact that they must give their | lives, if necessary to fight the thing through. Visited Bombed Areas The mission was out of the United. States 31 days, flying the Atlantic by clipper to Lisbon, spending days watching the British Army, Navy and Royal Air Force at work, and visiting the bombed areas of Lon- don, Coventry, Birmingham, Bristol, the Midlands and the Channel coast. ‘Warner said he was deeply impres- sed by the personality of Churchill, which seemed to combine the courage of the English with the fluidity of action of the American. “If there is such a thing as an indispensable man in time of em- ergency, Winston Churchill is that man.” For Americans, Commander Warn- er recommended that we “follow thc' target,” which he said was always | shifting, and that we “place our shots where the target is an where it was a short time a 4 ith reference to the new development | which brought Russia into the war, | Warner said a poll of Legion senti- ment was that we should give noj aid to Russia and t Legion oppo- relaxed.

Edmonton Seattle Portland San Francisco | WEATHER SYNOPSIS Due to the influence of a deep low center located to the south- west of Kodiak Island this morning strong southeast winds had brought a fresh supply of moist maritime air from Yakutat to the Alaska Range and along the coast to the Alaska Peninsula and Bristol Bay and rain was falling this morning over that area. Part- ly cloudy to cloudy skies prevailed generally elsewhere over Alaska. The greatest amount of precipitation was 64 hundredths of an inch which was recorded at Cordova. Temperatures continued high over the southern portion of Southeast Alaska where Ketchikan reported the highest temperature yesterday afternoon of 86 degrees. The lowest temperature this morning was 34 degrees at Barrow. Scattered to broken high and intermediat> cloudiness with local fog patches prevailed over the Juneau-Ketchikan airway this morning. The Wednesday morning weather chart indicated a center of low pressure of 20.10 inches was lociied at 54 degrees north and 158 degrees west and the storm frontal trough extended from this cen- ter eastward to 53 degrees north and 148 degrees west and thence southwestward into lower latitudes and was expected to move about 500 miles north - northeastward during the next 24 hours, with the center moving into the Bering S:a. Indications were that a new low center was forming at 34 dejrees north and 157 degrees west and was expected to deepen and move north-northeastward about 660 miles during the next 24 hours. A high pressure center of 30.27 inches was located at 36 degrees north and 141 degrees west with 2 high crest extending into Southeist Alaska. A second high pres- sure center of about the same pressure was located at 34 degrees north and 175 degrees west.

F' reason, we can't afford stopy in national defense work and suchj stoppages should be outlawed by new legislation if necessary. Warner said the times ahead were bound to be difficult for America, but quoted Thomas Jefferson: “You can’t expeet to be transported from des- potism to liberty in a featherbed.” | Alaska Record ! The Commander complimented the Alaska Department on having the largest percentage of Legion mem- bership, compared with population, of any Department in the United States. Warner said he had come to the Territory to “get the real Mc- Coy” on Alaska and report it back tp members of the Legion in the States. Warner said he had heard Alask- ans say that the nation was building up defenses in Alaska to defend the United States and not to defend Al- aska. What must be accomplished, he said, is that Alaska should become in fact an integral part of the United States so that Alaskans would real- ize that the defense of Alaska is not only a defense of the United States but a defense of Alaska also. In the role of National Command- er, which he described as being “of- ficer of the day for a year,” he re- yiewed the Legion child welfare and Americanism programs before dis- cussing defepse matters. Gifts Presented After his address, the Commander was presented by Department Com- mander Walter B. King of Ketchi- kan with a skin painting by Eskimo artist George Ahgupuk and by Post Commangder Prank Metcalf with a cclored photograph of the lights of Juneau. | Others who spoke briefly were Mayor Harry 1.
