Even though it may not prevent that in the end, even putting off the day when you will have to give up your favorite aluminum kettle would seem to make it quite worth while parting with the old dented aluminum stew aluminum laying around homes,{of the defense food supplies to Britain from this pan you don't use much anyhow.” Senator Norris—1917 and 1941 (The Cleveland Plain Dealer) “War in a civilized world has no existence, but yet the time is probably here now when we have got to take a chance of war to save our form of gov- ernment.” The author of these words voted against the | "United- States’ entry into the World War in 1917. He was ope of the group of six “willful” Senators who opposed President Wilson's course of action. He is the only member of the group remaining in the Senate where he has served 28 years. This month he celebrated his 80th birthday anniversary and viewed the world through experienced eyes. Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska has come a long way since he was burned in effigy in World War days. His independent course made many ene- mies and, in the end, won him respect, for he showed himself a man who thinks for himself and will not be swayed by pressure. Unlike many of the younger isolationists of today, Senator Norris is aware, among other things, that this war is not just a duplication of the last one. Defending his conduct then and his present attitude, Norris said: “I believe I was right in opposing that war. At that time we did not have a world of dictators— | and especially one arch dictator—who wished to rule the earth.. A Hitler victory would mean the end of the world we cherish and our forefathers won for us. Death would be preferable to the black- ness that would descend on us. Civilization would be blotted out.” We do not believe the Senator was right in op- posing American participation in the World War. It was not the fact that we took part in the fight- ing that caused the subsequent trouble—a develop- ment often cited to show that our war effort was a mistake—but the error this nation committed in refusing to take any part or responsibility in the peace which followed. We believe the Kaiser would have gone on from European to world conquest, as Hitler is doing, if he had not been stopped. Hitler is the 1941 expression of the same aggressive forces which motivated Wilhelm. Nevertheless, the veteran of the upper House sees the issue clearly today. He is fully aware of the danger which besets every independent nation and he is willing that the risk of war be taken if such is necessary to save our heritage. Norris’ ex- perience, his knowledge of world affairs, his ap- praisal of the psychology of the American people | should be considered by his younger colleagues who through misguided political tantrums are obstruct- ing the defense efforts of the nation. . A funny thing, this publicity. Where drastic governmental shake-ups in the Territory might earn only a few lines in newspapers of the states, a Soap Box Derby entrant from Juneau at the big kid races in Akron next month will probably rate galleys of type and photographs in the press. For years, English exporting firms shipped tons of Swiss cheese to this country. Now, England is calling for all the cheese we can send her as part country. As a matter of boat space, we're more than returning the cheese John Bull sent us, be- cause American cheddar is not shot full of Swiss holes. may eventually he !orcsd- o confis all aluminum ot in defense useé; but Af ‘.umn.l‘ the aluminum drive through American cities may: stall On the common sense side of giving all the old aluminum available in this vol- had the following to | handled entirely by transcription. |Each of the three radio networks Me"y_ | made a “platter,” or a record, and then played the record back for the GO-PO'Jnd ‘xudno transmission. . . .

Good and evil planetary aspects| balance in the horoscope for today. | There is a menacing outlook in the early aspect. which should sspell | caution to those directing large numbers of men. | Heart and Home: Women are| under a first-rate rule of the stars {today which should be marked by | independent initiative. Appeals for support or aid in obtaining any| |sort of employment will be unfor- | tunate under this sway. The emo- tions may lead girls into Iool!sh’ romances in which youths in uni-| forms will play leading parts. Hasty marriages should be avoided, for| the future holds evil ‘portents for those who are reckless in ignoring | economic needs. Business Affairs: As the month| ends, statistics should prove the growth of commercial relations with the republics of South America.| Australia and New Zealand will prove profitable in new lines of trade. Among the people of the| Western Hemisphere many ties will be strengthened. On the Pacific, Coast, Seattle, San Francisco and | Los Angeles will become centers of | greatly expanding commerce. 'flwrm is, however, a portent read as tmn- favorable to the most northern harbor which should be guardéd. National Issues: Stress will 'be| placed upon the importance " of maintaining a positive point ’ of view 'in all that relates to our ¢6h- nection with the world war. The stars presage many nervous dis-l orders resulting from anxiety re- garding the future of the natfon | and the financial implication con- nected with expenditures for 'de- fense. Women should refrain from expressing undue concern regard- ing relatives mobilized for Navy, Army and aviation service. ‘Kl forms of defeatism must be svoid- ed. ’ International Affairs: The con- junction of Jupiter and Uranus in May, 1942, will bring much en- lightenment regarding the ambi- tion of the totalitarian powers to subjugate the United States through economic methods. Early this com- ing fall the Axis powers will con- solidate their positions, owing to| the influence of Pluto. This will mean, astrologers declare, that ‘the | world will enter a new phase of] the war in which the United States will become involved for at least two years. There will be many bat- .tles from this time on and great loss of life. | Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of pros- perity, but there may be obstacles that retard plans. Many friends and many pleasures are foretold. Children born on this day should | be fortunate. They will be mag- netic in personality and probably will receive much help from rela- tives and friends.
