Roy Mulvihill, adjutant general of the Alaska National Guard, stationed in Juneau, | will answer that question in the decided affirmative. National guard units, he explains, are being inducted into service first so they may serve as a | nucleus for the draft army which will follow, I will fall to the lot of the guardsmen to train the raw material from Alaskan towns recruited by draft. The stronger the training force can be built up be- | fore the draftees begin arriving at camps, the more efficiently and rapidly the untrained men can be whipped into first class fighting units. It will be a case of the volunteers who go first SEATTLE REPRESENTATIVE — Frank J. Dunning, lfll American Bank Building, { VOLUNTEER OR DRAFTEE? In less than six weeks, about 55 Juneau men, members of units of the Alaska National Guard,| will be leaving for Chilkoot Barracks and Anchor-: age, to receive a year or more of intensive army | training, possibly to use those bases as points from which they will move into actual conflict in World | War IIL Probably inside a month after the departure of ' the guardsmen, they will be followed by the first draftees inducted into the new army of this nation. | But draftees have no voice in naming the post to which they are to be sent for training, and the | road to promotion and officer's grade for most draftees may be a long one. It is with those thoughts in mind that many a| young man about Juneau these days is toying with the idea of enlistment in the National Guard before | the local unit is inducted into actual service. And | it'is certainly not an easy decision to make. With many of the potential draftees already launched in| some business enterprise of their own, or holding a | responsible position in some business, where they | have excellent chances for advancement, thoughts of | “chucking it all” for an army berth are not too | pleasant. Still, those whose draft order numbers are low | in the list and know they will be called among the | first are faced with the stern fact that they are| going to be forced to take army training anyway. In‘ opposition to a patriotic impulse or adventulous‘ nature which will draw others into the service as| voluntary enlistees, these fellows have the common- | sense 'problem confronting them of whether Lhcy! will be “better off” to await induction via the draft board or enlist voluntarily now and leave with the‘ guard. i Certainly, some minds will be made up by ai desire to be with their own friends from Juneau.| Outside of the comradship of their own unit, others | may be influenced by knowledge that their chances of officerships rather than serving as buck privates, will be much more likely if they go with the guard.! At the present time, there are only 60 men in Com- pany A. Some of the men in the company will be | exempt from service because of dependents, so that | only about 55, as mentioned before, will leave Juneau | United States and other American countries. | rich in minerals and oil, but access to it is impos- | inhabited parts of both Ecuador and Peru. |cause of its implications. jour midst. being “in on the ground floor,” the Major believes. Inspired Jungle Clash (Cleveland Plain Dealer) The calm and solidarity of the Western Hemi- sphere has been rudely disrupted by the outbreak | of jungle war between Peru and Ecuador. This out- break of a border dispute more than a century old did not just occur, it was inspired, and the situation calls for the immediate, friendly intervention of the Naturally, both countries claim the other at- tacked their outposts in the river jungles east of the Andes. The region is believed to be potentially sible from the coastal strips which constitute the Ecuador, with 3,000,000 population, less than half that of Peru, has been the main hotbed of Nazi propaganda in South America. Anti-American and pro-German feeling has run strong there, thanksv to three papers published by the Nazis. Rafael Pmo; Rocco, decorated by Hitler, who nominally holds controlling shares of the German airlines, Sedte, is a brother-in-law of President Carlos A. Arroyo and | constantly contributes to the German press. | Many treaties fixing the border have been signed in the last 50 years. Invariably they have been | broken. In 1936 delegates from both countries | visited Washington and asked President Roosevelt to arbm‘ate the dispute if they could not come to an agreemem themselves, He agreed to do so. Since then the negotiations have failed and now, at a time when all the world is in flames, this outbreak occurs. The United States has successfully mediated other frontier arguments in Latin America, particu- larly the old one between Peru and Chile over | Tacna-Arica. This one is even more important be- It is not difficult, con- sidering the extent of Nazi penetration in Ecuador, to see the hand of Berlin. A war in the Western Hemisphere gives the Nazis an opportunity to tell Washington to put its own house in order before helping Britain in what Berlin euphemistically calls European affairs. This should be done promptly with the aid of other American states. There is neither time nor inclination to .tolerate a war in Meat from Australia is going to Britain in the form of powdered beef, because the powder takes less ship space and needs no refrigeration. Granu- lated sirloin is not our idea of a good meal on a |cold day. A Kansas fisherman reports pulling from a creek a catfish so large that it took the water 20 minutes to fill the hole it left. It's a nice story, but it still leaves him wide open for the next fellow to say that he caught a fish so large that the creek dried up trying to fill the hole.

So Henry Wallace, the Towa farm boy who returns to the soil of Iowa today, will be speaking his own heartfelt convictions when he tells Midwest farmers that the time has come to beat their plowshares into swords. FDR AND PAPPY The hairbreadth victory of Gov- ernor Lee (“Pass the biscuits, Pap- py”) O'Daniel in the Texas senator- jal eletcion was a tough blow to President Roosevelt, who openly espoused his young Congressional lieutenant, 32-year-old Lyndon Johnson. It also was a-tough blow to elo- quent Senator Tom Connally, who, while publicly protesting his neu- trality, was plugging for Attorney General Gerald Mann of Texas, No. 3 man in the race. With the race over, the President is resigned to O’Daniel’s election, but Connally is still a bit miffed by the failure of his candidate. He voiced this disappointment when he accompanied a group of Congres- sional leaders to the White House for a legislative conference. Spotting Connally, the President inquired cheerily. “Tom, when is Pappy coming {o town? I'm anxious to get a look at his band.” Connally cogitated for a moment then shot back with a grin: “I don't know Jbut I do know if you hadn’t butted into the election, he wouldn't be coming to town at all.” STRANGE BEDFELLOWS There is one matter that is not on the agenda’ of the AFL bullding mystery. But strongly suspected is a Lewis scheme to spring a surprise “peace” move with AFL. The AFLers are for peace, but not one that would enable Lewis to make himself the master of a united labor movement. This is exactly what he is believed to have up his sleeve. The AFL chiefs recall very vividly Lewis’ answer to Secretary Frances Perkins when she urged him several | years ago to use his powerful influ- | ence to bring the AFL and CIO together. “I will bring peace to labor,” he rumbled, “when it suits my purpose to have peace.” Privately, AFL leaders make no bones that they are very leery of a John L. Lewis festooned with olive | branches. They don’t trust him and want no part of him in any guise, KNOWN FACTS Known facts about the Lewis- Hutchinson get-together are the following: “Big Bill" made the first overture in a telegram congratulating Lewis on his radio broadcast bolting to Wendell Willkie. Before that, for six years, they had been bitter ene- mies, although once close AFL and GOP pals. As late as 1932, Lewis and Hutchinson went down the line together for Hoover against Roose- velt. The NRA, with its famed Section | Ta, rescued the United Mine Workers from the scrap heap, switched Lewis to the New Deal. Turning on his old AFL buddies, and after swapping blows with Hutchinson at the At- lantic City convention, Lewis set up i the CIO with the backing of Sidney Hillman and his independent Amal- gamated Clothing Workers, Raging. movement that expelled Lewis from the AFL as a wrecker. For six years their fued flamed. In 1936, Lewis went all-out for Roosevelt, and Hutchinson did the same for Landon as Chairman of the GOP Labor Campaign Commit- tee. Then in 1940, they suddenly became friends again through their common hatred of Roosevelt. Lewis answered Hutchinson's tele- gram with a cordial letter. This was followed several months later by a ,secret meeting in New York. They 'have had at least one other, more recently. It idefinitely known that at this meeting the ré-united pals exchang- ed notes on their’ common hatred, “that man in the White House,” and also discussed AFL-CIO peace. NOTE: It has not yet been an- nounced, but the CIO convention |will be held in October in either Detroit or Cleveland. With Phil Murray in a hospital recuperating from a heart attack and barred by |his doctors from any activity for |:;everml months, Lewis’ “palace {guard” has quietly started rigging wthe machinery to ensure his control | of the convehtion.

International Affairs: According to the stars the gradual entangle- ment of the United States in the second World War was inevitable. Astrologers long have advised the people to make the most of their opportunities to protect their eco- nomic futures. While there are por- tents that emphasize this year as the decisive one in the complex conflict, time is seldom exactly computed when the relation of as- years of upheaval and change are forecast by many seers, although configurations presaging peace ne- gotiations are carefully read. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of ad~ vancement. Literature and art will be mediums of good fortune. Children born on this day prob- ably will be lucky in financial mat- not despair. These same people are hardly aware that today another trade agreement, to take the place of the one which was abandoned, is about to be signed. U. S. Ambassador to Argentina, Norman Armour is on-his way by plane from Washington to Bueos Aires. He has the agreement in his brief case. When he reaches the Argentine capital, the papers will be signed. Negotiation has been accomplished with little fuss and no fury. Reasen for the change of atmosphere is not so much any difference between the two agreements as a difference .in the world scene, The agreement will almost u.r- tainly cut the tariffs on Argentina’s ments in 1916 in transpotring a mot« | three principal products of export to U. 8. — linseed, canned beef, and wool.- It will also reduce tariffs on a great number of new products Argentina has recently been sending to: this country—champagne, wines, cheese, anchovies, tungsten, beryl- fum, leather goods, etc. But negotiation has been easy. World interest has shifted. U. 8. farm leaders, who normally make the greatest protest, realize that shortage of shipping and high freight rates will keep down imports from Argentina, no matter how low the tariffs may be. Thus the importance of the agree- ment is only psychological for the time being.
