(New York Tlmes) “Iron Hermann” Goering has played almost as many parts and held almost as many posts as he has uniforms, but recently he appeared in a new role. | Tears dripped from his voice as he bewailed the | wickedness of the weather. ‘“The Winter campaign was terrible.” The Fuehrer suffered “deeply for his troops,” but of course he was tougher than the tough- est meteorological show. Hermann is more sensitive. You see his face all blubbered as ne wails that “the | elements have not been kind to us.” Even if .the | weather looks good now, “we need rain.” Then he is deep in Russian Winter again: ~ o — | TONAL REPRESENTATIVES Alaska Newspapers, 1011 | 1 Bulding, Seattle, Wash. Our troops nearly froze to death in the | grim cold. The icy Winter made railway tracks break. Our engines could not run. For whole days front lines were without am- munition, food and ciothing. Ochone! Ochone! What would the only origiial old Hermann, smasher of Varus and his legions in the Teutoburger Wald, think of his sniveling name- sake? And our fat friend drags in again the old fake about the Napoleonic campaign. “Last Winter rivaled it.” He must know that the frost came later than usual in 1812 and the weather was dry. When the French Army reached the Beresina, Nov. 26, the cold was “far from severe,” but the morale of the troops was already destroyed. The Marshal of the Reich is as much rattled as Achilles was when he was vainly fighting the Xan- thus River. Athena called out Hephais.os, chief of the Fire Department. The Marshal takes to water. But if the elements don’t behave, whose fault is it? Iron Hermann was and is, for all we know, Supreme Head of the National Weather Bureau. Why doesn’t né attend to his business? If he can manage the German weather, he ought to be able to manage the Russian. IS SILENCE GOLDEN? More than a week has passed since it was of- ficially announced by the Navy Department that Jap planes had attacked Alaska at Dutch Harbor. In that time, outside of vague reports that activity has Aleutian area, we have been told only that Japanese warplanes struck at our north- ern outpost twice on Wednesday, June 3. Only the briefest of announcements brought the news of the attack to Alaskans and to the American Since then a silence has been observed. necessary thing from continued in the people. Perhaps this silence is a the viewpoint of the military. But it is not a good thing. In the absence of official announcement people will talk. And you can't blame them. The casualties suffered by the defenders of Duteh Harbor have not been officially announced. In the absence of this announcement, people have estab- lished their own figures, all along the ladder. * Attacks on any other Alaska: post have not been announced. In the absence of this announcement people have also established the other places, if any, that have been attacked There has been no announcement concerning how large a Jap . force attacked Dutch Harbor or other bases, or where the enemy force has been seen, or if it has been seen. These angles of the attack also have been established by the pcople. Much of this conjecture now has been accepted Alaskans. Perhaps it i We don’t know. to fact it is A Cut For WPA (Cincinnati Enquirer) President Roosevelt’s recommendation for a sub- ministration for the coming fiscal year will be wel- comed as a step forward In the direction of neces- sary government economy. In his budget message last January Mr. Roose- velt estimated tentatively that $465,000,000 would be required during the ensuing fiscal year to continue WPA. Early this week he revised this estimate sharp- ly downward, recommending that only $280,000,000 be apprepriated for fiscal 1943. This is about one-third of the sum available nationally for WPA this year. The President noted that at present there are still some 3,000,000 persons unemployed. Many of these, however, will be hired in the next few months. So long as the administration sincerely follows the policy laid down by the President—a policy of providing work relief only to such persons who can- not be absorbed by private employers—there will be less opposition to the continuance of WPA on this drastically reduced scale. But the policy must be enforced rigorously and WPA rolls. must be purged of all who can be employed .in other work. The sum of $280,000,000 still is a large one. Per- haps this, too, can be cut later. But the adminis- as fact by the majority cf Perhaps it isn't that if it isn't not a good thing. Is it necessary? To the best of our knowledge, any concerning war activities is withheld from the public only because the public announcement would give aid and comfort to the enemy. At least, that is the basis for censorship. We fail to see why a complete silence cn the situation in Alaska is nec how- ever. But then we are not in on the “know. Until the announcement giving all details of the attack on Alaska is officially released we reserve fur- ther comment. close to fact We do know close information It sure sounded like old times the other day when the German high command announced that the Rus- sian armies had been surrounded.
