L REPRES ka Newspapers, 1011 TATIVES Wash Ala LOOKING AHEAD At first, last week, we saw just a thin sheet of white spread over part of Mount Roberts. The next day the sheet had assumed wblanket- like proportions and new sheets were spread over the domes of peaks on Douglas Island and across the upper slopes of Mount Juneau. And so, the mountains are tucking themselves in for the winter. We hope their sleep will be a peaceful one and that in the spring they will wake drowsily, slowly throw off their white blankets and smile down on a world at peace. But the snow on the mountains serves right now as an admission ticket into a new season ot this extraordinary year of 1941. What the new sea- son holds for us is only a matter of guess and con- Jjecture. We only know that history will be made during the coming winter and that we wouldn’t miss living to see what happens for anything. Winter can't help whi.q)m’mfi to us of something else, that we look forward to all the year. The holiday season will be here upon us before long. Yes, next month we will celebrate Thanksgiving, or Franksgiving the Republicans call the new, earlier feast day of the New Deal. We're looking forward to turkey dinner again, with all the trim- mings, and we'll hardly get our mistreated gastric systems back in working order again when Christ- mas rolls around, and a week Day, and then we will be in a sad digestive con- as later New Year's | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA running in The Empire for weeks, . so don’t tell us that it's too early to be thinking about Santa Claus. As a matter of fact,®we think we’ll sit down and pen our letter to the old guy in the red coat and white whiskers this very night, American Opinion (New York Times) Times without number the America First Com- mittee has drawn the picture of a reckless one-fifth of this country dragging a reluctant four-fifths into war. The material for this familiar picture is plainly derived from the finding by the Gallup sur- vey that approximately 20 percent of the American people favor our immediate formal entrance into the war, while 80 percent oppose such action at the present time. The accuracy of the Gallup survey can of course be challenged, but surely if the survey is relevant evidence on cne phase of foreign policy it is worth quoting on other phases also. But this the America First Committee does not do. It can be counted on,’ for example, to ignore the report which was published in The Times last week, showing that opinion in fayor of using American merchant ships | manned by American crews to carry American war | | supplies direct to Britain has been rising rapidly; that sentiment in favor of such action is now more | than 50 percent stronger than it was even five months ago; and that today a substantial majority of those who have opinions on this question want | our ships used for this purpose. That is, they want | the most important prohibition still standing in the | Neutrality Act repealed. | There are other points in recent Gallup surveys that help to shape a more accurate picture of American opinion than the one-sided portrait so !tirelessly painted by the America First Committee and by other opponents of the President’s foreign policies. If the Gallup survey is cited as evidence, it ought to be cited to show: 1. That an overwhelming majority of the Amer- ican people (seven out of nine) would reject a peace offer by Hitler even if he promised to permit the British Empire to stand intact. 2. That only a very small minority of Americans (fewer than one out of six) would vote for the can- | didates of “Keep-Out-of-War party in the next | Congressional elections if Messrs. Lindbergh, Nye and Wheeler started such a party. | 3. That a large majority of Americans with opinions on the question favor the President’s orders to the Navy to shoot on sight. 4, That a large majority of Americans favor the action of the President in occupying Iceland. 5. That a large majority even of the opposition party, rank-and-file Republicans themselves, believe that their Senators and Representatives in Congress ' ought to support the President’s foreign policies. | 6. And finally, on the central all-important question of the soundness of the President’s policy in backing the British people in this war, that scarcely one-fifth of the American people believe that Mr. Roosevelt has gone too far and that nearly four- fifths believe either that he has done the right thing. or that he has not gone far enough. On the basis of such evidence as the favorite squrce of statistics of the America First Committee has to offer, it seems clear that the great majority | dition, but we'll also be so broke that we will go on an enforced fast for a month in condition. . You may think were jumping the by!italking about Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's at this early date, but after all, Christmas shopping has been in progress in time now. And the “ads” for Christmas iléshinglon Merry- Go-Round (Continued from Page One) ‘would be certain in the huge defense construction program. The AFL unions are powerfully entrenched and they would fight | Denny’s makeshift UCW tooth and | nail. Strikes would be only a part | of the battle. | The UCW was set up several years ago by John Lewis as a “nuisance” union when he was busy warring with the AFL. The UCW has never been seif-supporting and has sub- sisted chiefly on doles from the CIO treasury. The union has had a stormy history. Getting nowhere in the construc- tion field, Denny, last spring, with the approval of his brother but“ without the authorization of CIO | President Phil Murray, suddenly is- sued a charter to a, Communi Minneapolis teamsters union. eral ‘weeks later, twenty leaders of the local were indicted by a Federal grand jury. This episode was followed by @ uprising within nine UCW construc- tion locals in New York City against Denny’s . high-handed tactics. One of the complaints was that he was using their dues to try to organize dormitory and other service em- ployees at Yale College. Since then, Denny has announced plans to move into still other non-construction fields. * This is the union and the kind of labor .leadership in behalf of which Thurman Arnold is threatening to bust up- Hillman's stabilization ac- cord. New Dealers certainly do the fun- niest things! NOTE: Last summier Arneld doud- ly threatened to resign if charges he had brought against several chem- ical firms with Nazi ties were not prosecuted only to enter a few weeks ago into a settlement with them. Now he is again repeating the first part of this act in connection with some oil cases which have been pending for nearly a year. He is telling all over Washington that un- less Attorney General Biddle lets him go through with the prosecu- tion, he will quit and blow the lid off the Justice Department. ‘WHITE HOUSE STRA NQER Snowy-halred Representative Chirles A" Faton, New Jersey Re- publican member of the House For- All Christmas presents destined for Euro- pean delivery should be in the mails by the middle of this week, according to Postmaster Albert Wile. of Americans and get ourselves him. gun a bit Juneau for some Elephants, close relatives of cards have been eign Affairs Committee, who was invited to the White House Neu- trality Act conferences in place of Ham Fish, enjoyed the thrill im- | mensely. Also he confessed to know- ing as little about the White House as a tourist. The first thing he did after re- ceiving the summons to the pow- wows was to rush over to Demo- cratic colleagues for advice. “Say, which entrance do you use when you go up there to meet the President?” Eaton asked. “Why the front door, of course. What are you trying to do, kid us?” “No, I'm on the level,” assured Eaton. “I havent been up there for so long that I've forgotten my way around.” ARMY MORALIST A social worker with a gruff voice, a brusque manner, and a dead cigar in his teeth, has come to town to do something about morale. Mark Mc- Ciosky used to teach ethics at the Ethical College Schools in New York City Now he is Director of Re- |creation under Paul McNutt, Fed- eral Security Administrator. “If the harpies can move them- selves to defense towns,” says Mc- Closky, “there’s no reason why fine girls can’t be noved to defense re- | creation functions. The Army and the U. S. O.—which we supervise— are both merely trying to give the average soldier the same choice in spending his leisure time that he has at home—the choice between a honky-tonk and a decent place to dance.” Burly and red faced, McClosky looks like a truck driver, but he is a Princeton product who can discuss with equal fluency price control, love or philosophy. His job differs from the War De- partment job, for he takes in the whole population of a defense area. His plans for recreation must in- clude civilians as well as soldeirs. He amazes field workers by the rapidity with which he can move into a town, take in the situation at a glance, and map out a recreation plan which will give an immediate lift to the fellows who are leaning against the corner lamp post. On the subject of morale in army camps, this is McClosky’s only com- ment: “Morale?—there’s too damn much talk about it.” MAIL FROM HOME Mail from home is an important factor in military morale, and postal authorities are not overlooking it. {' Post Office Department officials are ot advertising it, but more than 700 post offices have been put into | ‘operatlon in Army -Camps, Naval J Grubstake mining, increased the gold production of Chile about scven times in the past nine years. the Fort Knox gold hole. according to some authorities, are with the President, not against we notice, is said to have That’s bad news for are whales.

The Army Mail Service is con- ducted by a trained corps of over | 2,000 specially selected postal clerks. It is supervised—and here is the rea- son for the secrecy—by Post Office inspectors, who see to it that our armed forces not only get Al- serv- |ice, but are protected from sub- | versive propaganda. ‘The inspectors, who ran the A. E. F. mail service also keeps a sharp lookout for espionage correspond- ence. So far only a fraction of this mail has been subject to scrutiny. | (Copydight, 1941, by United Feature | Syndicate, Inc.) - ATTENTION MASONS Stated Communication of Mt.
