ALASEA CTRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. ATIVE — Prank J. Dunning, 1011 SEATTLE Americap Bank Building. MUFFLER OR GAG? Pacific Coast news- in recent months An opportunity a lot of papers have been yearning for came the way of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer last | week. When & launch full of reporters and photogra- phers from Seattle papers were fired upon as they approached the Sand Point naval aviation base, bent on getting pictures of the planes of the Russian mis- sion landed there, the Seattle morning paper found plenty to say about the way the navy is conducting its public relations. In connection with the incident concerning the Russian fliers, the P-I finally brought the navy to see their side—that no possible harm could stem from permitting photographs and interviews of the | Russians. | “On the contrary,” the P-I declared in its edi- torial columns, “the navy, Russia, Britain, and everybody concerned, should want it to be known, especially to Mr. Hitler, that the United States is entering wholeheartedly into aid to Hitler’s enemies. The visit of the Russians is merely a step in that | and publication of all the facts could not | direction, possibly give comfort. to the enemy.” But back of the Sand Point outbreak, the P-I revealed, a journalistic rancor against navy restric- tion of news has been boiling up for some time. The Seattle paper charged that at least half of the 500,000 people around Seattle are aware of certain naval moves and developments, and that these same bits of news have been made Laboo by official declaration of the N Department and the British | Admiralty. “The local navy authorities sy they are operat- ing under strict orders from Washington,” the P-I declared, “and it must be so, since they could not possibly be so stupid under their own steam.” The navy's public relations, prior to the time when Frank Knox became its secretary, were the highest of any branch of the military service, the P-1 next pointed out. Knox’s efforts to obtain' press censorship regarding navy moves as “woefully misguided.” At the same time, it was said, the relations between press and army officials have been built up under Secretary Stimson “to an admirable degree.” ‘When the War Department has requested that news of troop movements to Alaska be withheld from ' publication, the Seattle papers have respected and obeyed those requests, it was cited. But when silly But the Seattle paper termed | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, SEPT. 9, T941 taboos are imposed by Knox, a former newsman [himself, the P-I looks upon it as joint betrayal of }(hn American navy and the American press! | Here in Alaska, it might be explained, news- \pnper.s are under strict orders, from both army and {navy heads, regarding what may and may not be | published concerning military operations. Our orders, so far as the army is concerned, come from the | headquarters of the Alaska Defense Command at |Fort Richardson. Here are a list of subjects about | which we may not report: 1. The movement of troops or airplanes, either contemplated, current or completed. 2. The movement of materials (implements, goods, or arms utilized by the armed forces) or | supplies, either contemplated, current or eompleted. 3. Detailed descriptions and photographs of weapons and planes. 4. The construction of airfields, housing for soldiers or defense workers, or any other defense works, either contemplated, current or completed. 1 5. The presence of any high-ranking officers, "when a specific request is made that their presence |be kept secret, 6. In no case should the numbers of troops be | indicated 7. In no case should the numerical deslgnatlan of a unit be indicated, such as: “Ist Infantry” or [“11th Signal Company.” In these examples, “lIst”| |and “11th” should be deleted. 8. Any information of any sort which may dis- | |close the above, either by inference, deduction or intimation. Being news hawks first and news purveyors | second, by both profession and instinct, it is some- times hard to refrain from publishing some of this { restricted information, when the whole city is buzzing | with rumors or real information about the move- | ment of troops or the addition of more forces in the Territory. We have, on the other hand, every desire to co- operate with the army and navy when the need for | suppression is real and will serve the purpose of keeping secret from the possible enemy our military |strength, weapons, supply stations or any other in- | formation which may compromise our chances for success, should active war begin. We ask only fair play and a square deal. We |do not want our precious freedom of the press istifled by the whims of short-sighted generals and |admirals, We are willing to check our freedom of publication only when it will serve the general wel- |fare and security of the nation. | | \ Two Years (Philadelphia Record) i The element of time has superseded distance as the greatest factor of our modern world. A week’s advantage in battle may now mean more than the gain of a hundred miles or more in the | World War. It took the conquest of France to awaken the world to this fact. It took the ruthlessness and barbarism of Hitler and his hordes. It took the lives of thousands, the slavery of millions . . . | Danger is that even yet some of us tend to !forget that time has become more important than Lmsumce. Especially in the United States, Hitler, slick enough to grasp any advantage, peddles yarns about the prospect of a “long winter battle in Rus- |sia”—yarns aimed to lull both America and Britain into inaction. S Most of us hope Hitler will be faced with a long winter’s battle in Russia, and a battle which ‘will last far longer—to end in defeat. But we will Ibe fools to count upon that; greater fools to swal- |low Hitler's propaganda—and forget time. Time? Last month should have been a reminder of its importance, of its pace, For last month was the second “anniversary” of the 10-year pact in which the Nazis pledged “to refrain from every act of force” against Russia. We understand that Adolf Hitler is so supersti- ,tious that he will make important decisions only when the moon is on the wane. If he succeeds in conquering the earth, of course, he will then proceed to the matter of telling the moon when to wane. when he protested partment. sion.

Finally Ray Atherton, head of the State Department’s European Division, anxious' to help the Irish, proposed to the Martime Commission that it “rig” a sale. “That,” replied the Maritime Com- mission, “would give us the same kind of juicy publicity as if Secre- tary Morgenthau rigged the sale of a gold brick.” Americans in his photographer was a few shots.

I'm going to vote for Rosier.” Townsend—"Why are you going to do that?” Langer—“You ought to know the answer to that, Mr. Townsend. I'm not considered a Republican.
