Mussolini As Prophet 4 Busiuess Office, 374 ——— (New York Times) On the 5th of May, 1936, the day on which Italian troops entered Addis Ababa, Benito Musso- lini made a speech to a wildly cheering crowd in Rome. In that speech he said: Black Shirts of the Revolution, men and women of all Italy, Italians and friends of Italy beyond the mountains and the seas, listen: I announce to the Itallan people and to the world that our war is ended, that peace is restored. Our peace, the Pax Romana, is expressed in this simple, frrevocable, final statement: Ethiopia is Italy’s. The head of the Government and the Ras, defeated and fleeing, count no longer. No force in ‘the world will ever be able to make them count again. The news from Rome now is that, of the greaf Italian empire in East Africa, comprising not only ‘Ethlop!n but Eritrea and Italian Somaliland, there remains only a “lost patrol” of fifty men who, hav- ing escaped from Assab before the British captured | it almost a year ago, are fugitives in the mountains, living in caves and facing death or surrender.

Allen F. D. Pinkham ——r g HOROSCOPE “The stars incline but do not compel” TUESDAY, DECEMBER 23 Adverse planetary aspects rule today. Weather conditions may in- terfere with holiday plans. Dan- ger of accidents is foreseen. There may be a sense of futility among men who survey their plans for the future. HEART AND HOME: Women| should be fairly fortunate under this sway which may be unfavor- able for the men of their families. It is a good day for last minute shopping. Girls may expect much pleasure in dances on this date which stimulates romance and en- courages sentimental points of view. It is not an auspicious time to begin any serious work, but should be lucky for plans affect- ing the future. | BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Owners of plants engaged on Government, contracts should pay special atten- tion to watchmen and to safe- guarding devices, for the stars presage fires and sobotage. Evil portents extend from Detroit to the Atlantic Coast. Industrial cen-! |ters on the Pacific Coast also are, under malign influences, but dan- gers are not so great as elsewherc. Immense losses by fires are fore- told, especially when there is a {cold spell in the East or Middle West. NATIONAL ISSUES: Pride in the nation and its great achieve- ments will kindle enthusiasm in previously apathetic citizens of the | United States as they awaken to the perils that every day come | closer to the land of a free people. It is the custom of Americans to, keep their eyes shut to distant dangers, but when they see what is happening they perform wonders in vanquishing an enemy. This! country is the only one on the! globe which never has been defeat- ed in war, a fact that Japan and' icrmany should consider. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: esperate economic conditions will ntinue to cause revolutionary ef- forts in the subjugated countries. From Norway down through the Balkans there will be determined uprisings. In the first three months +Hill, DECEMBER 22, 1921 William Hautala, who had been working as shift boss at the Ken- necott copper mine, arrived on the Northwestern for a visit with his family during the holidays. H. F. Dawes, member of the law firm of Roden and Dawes, accom- panied by his bride, was a passenger for Petersburg on the Admiral Watson. Mr. Dawes was married in the South a short time previous while on a vacation trip. Mr. and Mrs. Dawes were to visit at Petersburg ‘or a short time before coming to Juneau. Major J. C. Gotwals, Engineer Officer of the Alaska Road Commis- ion, returned here on the Estebeth” after having made a hurried visit o Fort Seward. Tom George, who left Juneau several months previously for the benefit of his health, was in Calexico, Cal., on the Mexican border, according to a letter received here by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. George. The Juneau -High School quintet opened the basketball season by defeating the soldiers from Fort Seward by a score of 17 to 11. On the school team were White, Barragar, Britt, Case and Holmquist. ‘ Weather: High, 31; low, 24; colder.

MODERN ETIQUETTE * roperra rLEE Q. If one feels that he is not able to give gifts this Christmas, but knows he will receive some, should he tell his friends? A. No. Probably he can make something that takes time, but little money. A gift should not be gauged by its cost. Q. When a married woman signs the register of a hotel should she sign her name “Mrs. Jane Brown”? A. No; the correct form for a married woman Brown.” Q. Isn't it wrong for a person always to be suspicious of his friends, their private lives, their habits, their convictions? A. Yes. True is the philosophy that “It is hardly possible to sus- pect another without having in one’s self the seeds of baseness the party is accused of.” *LE)OK and LEARN ¥ & corbon 1.

FRANKING SCANDAL Few congressmen realize the ramifications of the franking scan- dal on which one of their fellow members is scheduled to testify be- fore a grand jury. Ham Fish, the witness, who is the congressman from the Presi- dent’s own district and a grandson of a Secretary of State, may not know all the ramifications either. | But he may be able to throw light on some rather large checks which | presumably had something to do | with financing this much ramified propaganda, | For a long time around the cap- ital it has seemed strange that wrote a book for a Nazi-financed publishing house) the name of the| writer immediately turned up on a master mailing list, which was used to send out all sorts of iso- lationist, pro-German propaganda. The same was true if you wrote to Senator Wheeler or Senator Rey- nolds or various other isolationists. Probably they, personally, did not know that their mail was going into a common pool. But certain names were purposely misspelled in letters to congressmen, and the same misspelled names immediately turned up on the master mailing list. The Justice. Department already has thrown some light on how this master mailing list originally was compiled, namely in the offices- of a big motor company. There, a battery of selected stenographers was kept working on the top floor during the fall of 1940 sorting over the mail of Lindbergh, ex-Senator Rush Holt, Senator Nye and others. No company employees were al- lowed on the top floor except these stenographers, who were sworn to secrecy. SHORT WAVE RADIO mailed out to those on the master of 1942, astrologers prophesy that list.
