ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alasks Newspapers, 1011 American Building, Seattle, Wash. President !nnm’raumt lfld Busfnéss Manager GHANDI'S INDIA Long ago we formecy the opinion that Mohandas K. Ghandi is one of the greatest personages of this generation. But now we are not sure that he is as wise as we gave him credit for being. Certainly, if all of the people in the world were to adopt the wizened Indian’s teachings, there would | be no more wars. Ghandi is great. He has to be in order to hold the large and loyal following he hn.s‘ in one of the world's largest countries. Yet the effect of what Ghandi now is doing is to | pave the way for the destruction of the very mmgs‘1 for which he stands. China, probably the greatest and potentially most democratic nation in Asia stands with us in this fight. . But Ghandi has turned opportunist to choose | this vital moment when cooperation is needed from all anti-totalitarian nations to_ lead an open rebeilion which was to have been “non-violent” and which such a wise man as Ghandi should have been able to see would turn out as it has. The British are not innocent in this development ‘They have been pompous and foolish in the past on< this question, and perhaps may still be. But the question and performance of granting in- dependence for India at this time isn't possible. The war isn't going to stop while this problem jis quar- reled out. Ghandi’s latest action may bring a more dreadful harm to his people than British dominaton could bring in the next 100 years—the hideous and unend- ing tyranny of Japan. Bombing German Railroads (New York Times) In view of the alarming position in which the Rus- sian armies have been placed, it is encouraging to learn that the British are now bombing German rail- ways. Duisburg, the latest large target for a British bombing attack in force, is a great German railway as well as shipping center. Direct attacks on railways themselves are indicated by reports of the RAF's sweep over freight yards in German-occupied Europe, and the destruction in one such raid of nine loco- motives. British bombing attacks on railways seem likely to have a more immediate effect in reducing the Nazi concentration on the Russian front than at- tacks on any other sort of target. For such attacks tie up goods of every sort n every stage of production. | up their supplies of raw material, and.prevent -the finished products of factories from getting to the points where they are needed, The German rallways are known to be desperately short of rolling stoek. American and British bombers must work to increase that shortage. A Daily Referendum (Cineinnati Enguirer) cause of its representative character, was a daily ref- erendum of the people. One of its primary functions tion, to investigate when necessary, and to hold the acts of the executive up to the mirror:of publlc1 opinion, | It is much the same with our Congress in this country, even though the Executive is not a commit- tee of the legislature and directly responstble to it. In wartime criticism of the Executive must be curbed in some degree. It must be constructive and temperate. But the duty of surveillance continues. In the main, Congress has maintained this func- tion. It is a daily referendum of the people. And @ good example is provided by the recent action of the House of Representatives in outlawing the pay- ment of fees and commissions to “sales engineers”— the go-betweens on war contracts. There may be instances in which manufacturers’ representatives in Washington have served a useful purpose, But there have been actually millions of dol- lars paid to some agents who play no essential part, but merely lead manufacturers to think a go-between is necessary to get war contracts. This war is costing enough without payments ‘o smooth-talking men in Washington who contribute nothing genuine to the war effort. Nobody resents the payment of a proper wage to the man who works on war orders, or of a fair profit to the businessman who produces the goods. But there is resentment when a nonproductive middleman with a pretense of political influence takes a cut. In this case the Naval Committee of the House,| headed by Representative Carl Vinson of Georgia, has done a real service, Even while the nation is slmining every nerve to get production, it remains the duty of Congress to see that money is not wasted. Dress Rehearsals (Prince George Citizen) | Each blackout held in Canada is a full-dress re- hearsal, for war is close to our shores. That thought must be present with everyone in Prince George when the blackout siren sounds. Per- fection in performance was never achieved by half- hearted practice efforts. The courts of Canada consider the blackout pro- gram important when they fine Air Marshal Bread- |ner when the lights in his home are left on, and summons Munitons Minister Howe for allegedly fail-| ing to extinguish a burning match and not covering his pipe bowl when advised to do so by a warden. In Prnce George when the blackout whistle sounds | no lights must show from houses or buildings, all persons must remain indoors till the alarm is over, no cars other than those on official duty must travel the roadways, no calls should be made on the tele- phone. By co-operating citizens help others and assure| greater safety for themselves. B 1 M o NN Y i Down in the Florida swamps, one man raises 500,~ 000 pounds of honey a year, and produces from 300 to 440 queen bees a day over a period of two months. It sound as if he might have his hands full, keeping that many queens from getting jealous of each other. | However, we don’t envy any big honey raiser, be- cause at any minute the government might issue an order requiring that every bee to carry a ration | card. | Well, as we have said before, the closer we get to the horrors of war the further we get from the hor- rors of peace.
