SOAP-BOX PROMINENCE Speaking of publicity, Juneau and Southeast Al- aska will probably get a lot of favorable comment from news papers in the States because of the en-| trance of young Jerry Chapman ih the national | Soap Box Derby at Akron, Ohio, on the 17th of this | month, | The world loves kids, and the activities of boys/ the age of Jerry always strike a pleasant chord ln‘ the public fancy. From information received here this week, the Soap Box Derby committee in Akron and the North- ern Pacific Railway are going to make a real event cut of Jerry’s appearance in the derby race. He is the first entrant in the race ever sent from the Ter- ritory of Alaska. He is going farther to compete than are any of the other boys. Jerry, himself, publicity for himself and Alaska yesterday, although he was probably as little interested in personal pub- licity as any live American 12-year-old boy would be. It was when he was filling in a questionnaire, which asked that he name the college to which he would like a scholarship in event he wins the national | derby. With his choice of any school in the country, from proper Harvard to genial U. C. L. A, Jerry wrote in the blank on the questionnaire the Univer- sity of Alaska. He wants to go there and study egglneeflng, he declared. Win, lose or draw, Jerry is a boy that Juneau and Alaska may be proud of. Along with Mr. and Mrs., Don Skuse, of the local Rotary club which sponsored the Juneau derby with the Daily Alaska Empire, he will leave here at 9 am. next Tuesday morninng, boarding the C.P.R.steamer Princess Louise | for Seattle, from where he will go to Akron by | ! unwflllng world. wrote some good newspaper feted in grand style once he arrives in the States. But let’s hope that all the celebrations and excite- | ment he enjoys while in the south will not make him hate to return to Juneau. People of this city can do a little something to give Jerry a mighty happy last memory of his home town when he | leaves next Tuesday, if they will just turn out for a big send-off party at the dock. After all, Jerry is going to be piloting that soap-box car in the big race with the Daily Alaska Empire, Juneau, Alaska, written on its hood,” the least we can do is to give him a farewell cheer and wish him a lot of luck in the race. Continuing the Struggle (The Cincinnati Enquirer) Although Norway has been possessed physically by Hitler, with all her free leaders either seized by the Gestapo or forced into exile, the gallant Scandi- navian nation has not permitted her indomitable spirit to be crushed by the Nazi tyranny. Although the pressure upon her is heavy and the penalties exacted for resistance severe, Norway is making valu- able contributions to the effort against Nazism. Of the greatest importance is the Norwegian Navy, which is playing a dramatic and effective role in the battle of the Atlantic. Norway's merchant marine, comprising more than 3,500,000 tons of shipping manned by 25,000 sailors, still sails the seas under the direction of the Free Norwegian Govern- ment in London. In British and Canadian training camps Norwe- gian citizens are disciplining themselves to continue the war. Expertly trained Norse pilots, gunners, mechanics, and ground crews from Camp “Little Norway” in Toronto are arriving overseas in in- creasing numbers. Some of these airmen have seen action for a considerable length of time, but their number now is~being augmented sharply. In Norway itself, although the Nazis ruthlessly are expropriating Norwegian industries and draining the country of all its wealth, the spirit of the people | remains unconquerable. A recent example concerns the appointment of a Nazi as director of an Oslo | sports club. Of the club’s 800 members, 764 resigned immediately. That takes high courage. thousandfold, it is an indication of the unremitting resistance to Nazism which the Norwegian people are fearlessly maintaining. As the Norwegian Minister to the United States phrased it, “Here is a new order different in practice from the abomination Hitler would force upon an In Norway brute force has suf- | fered an ideological defeat. Never in their history honor than today.” The Germans seem pretty peeved about Russia's “tricky” defenses.

Washinglon Merry- Go-Round (Continued Irom Page One) ainst the United States for at- tempting to intervene in the Euro- pean war. During the course of | this speech General Franco assused the United States of “offering” Spain economic help in order to force Spain to obey the will of other nations, presumably Britain. This would appear to be definite confirmation that a credit was ac- tually “offered” to Fascist Spain in order to keep her neutral. SHUTTLING THE NAVY ‘The thing which has worried U. 8. Admirals for some time is what they call “shuttling”; that is taking part of the fleet from the Pacific to the Atlantic to meet danger in the East, then back to the Pacific to meet a new danger in the West. This, Admirals feared, would merely keep the fleet on the high seas, using up fuel in a game as profitable as “fox and geese.” And this, obviously is what the Japanese (with their Nazl allies) are trying to trap us into doing. However, although it remains a| faet that part of the Pacific fleet, has gone into the Atlantic to help “patrol”, nevertheless, the United States finds itself in a better posi- tion than the Admirals some months ago expected. Here are the reasons: 1st, we have acquired some em- ergency naval bases in the Dutch East Indies, and it may be that| one or two U. 8. ships might drop| in on these bases from time to time, 2nd, we have been concentrating | long range bombers in the Philip- pines and the islands of the Pacific. The Japanese know this, and n worries them almost more than. anything else. These bombers easily | can fly from Manila to Tokyo and| back again. 3rd, we took the precaution of I placing a strong submarine force in and around the Phillippines. And| submarines can disrupt Japanese| troop ships, tankers, supply ships, more than any other type of weapon. 4th, the fortification of various Pacific islands —. Guam, Midway, Wake, and -crueial bases in the Phil- ippines—has been proceeding at a tremendous speed. |itors to detect foreign radios—be- | So if the Russians can hold out until fall, the Japanese may really| find themselves out- on a limb. Of course, if the Russians cave in and Hitler's forces are unleached for operations in the Atlantic, es- pecially around Spain, Portugal and Dakar, it may be a different story. CAPITAL STAFF Friends of “Pappy” O’Daniel, new Senator from Texas, say he is stay- ing in Austin so his daughter may have the honor of being married; in the Governor’s Mansion. Enemies say he is staying there to escape| the vote on exteding the service of draftees in the army. . . . The output of most judges is pretty dull read- ing, but U, 8, Judge Richard J.

Far more important is the fact that they understand foreign languages. GOOD NEIGHBOGR FRAUDS In a few weeks the Post Office Department will give a new twist to the blacklist of Axis agents in {Latin America. Postal authorities will indict a bunch of U. S. operators who have been using the Good Neighbor pol- icy to defraud Latin Americans out of large sums of money. The racket was an ingenious one. Posing as mail-order houses, the crooks flooded Latin American | papers with ads offering at cut| | prices goods formerly supplied by | German and Italian firms. In each instance the ad required the buyer to send payment in advance. Some of the promotions were on | a huge scale. One advertisement | which offered sets of “self-fitting” false teeth for $10 brought hundreds | of responses. Another which offered | a well-known patent medicine net- | ted the racketeers more than| $50,000. | In every case, the buyers lost | A woman's home is her castle, and it is a rare There seems little question but that he will be castle that does not have its bridge. their money. The alleged mail-order houses consisted of nothing more than a lock box in a post office, changed at frequent entervals to avoid detection. No goods ever were shipped. Authorities first got wind of the racket when U. 8. consuls reported being bombarded with complaints from victims. The consuls warned Washington that the fraud was glving U. 8. business a black eye which no amount of good willing could overcome. 80 the Postal Inspection Service, which has jurisdiction over rackets of this nature, immediately got busy, with the result that in‘a few weeks ring leaders of the fraud will be “jail house bound.” (Copyright, 1941, by United Fea- ture Syndicate, Inc.)
