Director of Censorship Byron Price has reported that these excisions are ordered to be kept to a strict mini- mum. If the Seattle papers are printing all of the military news that isn't fit to print, then, it seems to us, the remedy isn't to keep Alaskans from read- ing the news. | Senator Mon C. Wallgren, who recently completed a tour of Alaska, stated in Juneau that Alaska ap- pears to be more free from sabotage than any other | of the United States. Certainly, if the Axis has spies in this country, these agents probably are stationed in the States, and they aren't getting their information from the newspapers. We fail to see why Alaskans ainst in this problem. The has the power in time of war But this power certainly items that have been clipped would be of no use | at all to the enemy. Perhaps the censors (hink that they have to use their scissors in order to hold \ their jobs. There are several questions which we would like to have answered.

Man power, and it| should be added, woman power. Out of her total population Canada has 600,000 in the armed forces. This corresponds to an army, navy and air force| totaling 7,750,000 men in the United States. And all the available labor is employed in war industries,| including essential farm work. | By the end of the year Canada will have 900,000 persons employed directly in war production. This| |supply has been augmented by a steady drift of men and women from nonessential industries into war industries. But that transfer has come only | as nonessential industries were curtailed by reduced | | consumer purchasing or by shortages of raw mat-| |erials for nonessential production. Now a stronger | ‘!l\!‘llll\ of getting men and women into war work is needed | This stronger method is available in Canada’s Na- | tional Selective Service. That term refers to mili- service in the United States; but in Canada it | | means civilian work. The law authorizes the Min- listry of Labor to shift workers from nonessential work to war industries by a “draft” if necessary. So | far an outright draft of labor has not been required. |But it may be if the suppression of unnecessary ‘:-ntvrpnses does not provide a sufficient labor force ]Ior the war industries. | Canada is fortunate in having a Minister of Labor, '.’m old trade union man, who fully understands the | grim reality of this war and the disaster that would | | be entailed in defeat. ;bu( doing a job. He is determined to use every re- source of the law to move men and women out of nonessential jobs and into the production of ex- plosive, aircraft, guns, foodstuffs, and other materials of war. The Canadians will not slacken in their | policy of boosting war production as long as there is a single worker doing a nonessential job who can be shifted to war service. | tary Action Versus Talk (Seward News) A lot of criticism has been let loose because of the | Aleutian invasion.

Disturbing news is in- dicated and shipping comes under unfavorable direction of the stars HEART AND HOME: This is a 70 YEARS A60 F7 surins el SEPTEMBER 3, 1922 Major G. C. Donaldson, appointed Commander of Fort William H. Seward, to succeed Major L. Lampert, arrived in Juneau on the North- western from Valdez and was to leave on the harhor boat Fornance for the Post the following day. He had previously been stationed at Fort Liscum before it was abandoned. All Federal and Territorial offices, local stores and banks were to be slosed on Labor Day, the following Monday. No special program had been planned for the city except the dance to be given in the evening at the Elks’ Hall. In Douglas, the Fire Department was sponsoring a dance and numerous hunting bal'fies had been planned. Major J. C. Gotwals, Acting President and Chief Engineer Officer for the Alaska Road Commission, arrived early in the morning from the Westward. He had been in Westward and Interior portions of the Territory for the past several weeks. The first Alaska Teachers’ Institute which had closed in Ketchikan n September 1, was a success in every way according to L. D. Hender- son, Commissioner of Education, who returned to his Juneau head- quarters on the Admiral Evans. The results were so gratifying that it was planned to hold a similar gathering of teachers in Alaska schools sach year. day favorable to the contemplation of changing conditions. The stars should be helpful to those who de- sire to make practical plans for the Autumn. In the family circles of the nation there will be many va-| cancies due to the wartime indus-| tries as well as to service un(lm‘ arms. Older folk now should sume a cheerful point of view 1or‘ it will be necessary to be philo- ( sophical and hopeful in coming| weeks. | BUSINESS AFFAIRS: This is an | auspicious date for pushing “’(‘11 established trade.

A‘ few come to mind. A vital project is weakened by excessive volubility | the subject. The outpourings of wordy plam of campaigns can only weaken the inspirational | source and the force necessary to carry them through. | ‘Much Talk Means. Little Action” might be as ap- | plicable to the Aleutian phase of the war as it was to immature minds of copy-book days. It also must be realized that men conducting the | war are vitally interested in bringing about speedy | victory to American arms.

Mathis of Petersburg, Gabriel Rodgers of Fort William H. Seward, Nicholas Mueller and W. R. Leivers.
