Anthony on the rail proposal that recent American slow up the desire of the officials to go all out favor of immediate action for additional transporta- tion facilities into the Territory. If Magnuson has accurately of the War short-sighted Obviously pictured the opinion Department, such a policy seems to be indeed facilities are present transportation inadequate. Even with the new highway in use by the first of the year, the transportation facilities needed to supply any large defensive American force, and es- pecially an offensive force, still would be too little. The National Resources Planning Board office before its removal from Alaska, completed a survey of the use that could be expected from the new high- way. It found that the gasoline, rubber tires, trucks | and maintenance crews that would be required on| the highway if it were to supply an Alaskan force of several hundred thousand men would be stupendous The office further found that a railroad could very well handle such a load, with less men being used in the transportation less fuel involved, and | more freight being moved | Furthermore, the Board reported that the nec essary steel for building such a railroad from Prince George, B.C, to Fairbanks, Alaska, could be made available But railroads aren't built in_a day. If we are to do our utmost to strengthen“he defense of the | Territory against the threat of invasion, a railroad certainly would seem of utmost importance The highway is being built, all right, .and com- | The Dire Day to Come (Bremerton News Searchlight) More than 3,000,000 men and women are on the wartime federal payroll. Considerably more than 25000 men are on the Navy Yard payroll. Millions of other yard workers and munition foilers are Ike- wise engaged in mnational defense labor. All are re- ceiving tops in wages, most of them making more in one week than their fathers dreamed of getting in a month. Mere lads are getting fifty dollars a week. School girls can get their $15 a week and board, as domestics and shop workers, and. still attend school ld folk have no trouble getting light work at good | wages, if they can totter atong and fill their jobs All of which is a sign of the times and a parallel of wartime conditions. - But what of the aftermath, when the war ends and peace comes? When jobs will be few; when money will be scarce; when wages will be low; but when prices will still be high? How will the problem of reconstruction and readjustment be worked out? It is a worrled question, and the time to worry is now, while there is plenty of money, |work and other terms of wartime prosperity. This war won't last forever. The end will probably bring | us all up to a sudden standstill, when the war work | will halt with a jolt, leaving plants idle and workers likewise idle. If this is the time for national de- fense preparedness it is also the time for economic |preparedness against the dire day that will come. The moral, of course, is economy and thrift, now, while the chance is with us. But there is a brighter side to this dark picture. When you are inclined to be pessimistic about the future, brighten up your mind with a few fundamentals. FPirst of all, there will be millions of people who will need things. We'll have in this country the greatest productive machine ever devised. We'll have skilled workmen, plenty of raw materials, ships to deliver finished goods and to bring back whatever we need. But we'll have to accept changes. The old system which showed its weakness during the terrible years of unemployment needs changing. But there is nothing sacred about anything merely because it old. Only that is sacred which serves. New commercial practices, new management ideas will take the place of older ones that didn’t work so well. Men with flexible minds will find a new world with great opportunities ready to be grasped. The sun will continue to shine in the future is Kiss in Kuibyshev (Philadelphia Record) The resourcefulness of Mr. Wendell Willkie never was better demonstrated than at Kuibyshev. Imagine yourself in the position of the roving representative of the President— Striding to the stage of the Bolshoi Theater. after an evening of the ballet, to present flowers, big bouquets of them, to the Russian ballerina, Irina ‘Tikhomirova. Poets have written of the language of flowers. But that is scarcely enough, in the middle of a broad stage, with a vast audience looking on. Yet what can you say—if you can’t speak Russian? Willkie didn’t hesitate to speak in a language far more nearly universal than Esperanto. He kissed the ballerina—and the audience cheered. Nothing he could have said, no tribute he could have paid, would have been half so eloquent. | Dr. Henry Gibbons defined a kiss as “the ana- | tomical juxtaposition of two orbicular oris musclds | in a state of contraction.” The kiss at Kuibyshev merely shows how little he knew about it. The National President of the American Legion | Auxilary says that the way for women to cure their husbands of striking in war industries is to go on strike themselves as cooks, sock darners, and shirt ironers. It sounds a little complicated, but it might work. Especially if there’s room in the kitchen for | 'a picket line as well as a clothes line. We can just see a striker now, storming out of his house with | tears streaming down his face, and a little basket of socks for John L. Lewis to darn. pleted ahead of schedule.

Washingloh Go-Round (Continued from Page One) speech at West Point definitely promising a Second Front, though fixing no time Afterward, the President received a phene call from Churchill which upset him considerably. Churchill warned that Marshall’s speech was too definite, would arouse false hopes. Gen. Marshall had made the speech obviously with the advance okay of the President, and for the purpose of worrying -the Germans into diverting troops from Russia to France By a stroke of circumstance, the President had scheduled a confer- ence with Senate leaders, plus Gen. Marshall, Admiral King, Donald Neison and other war chiefs, just before the Churchill phone call came in. Afterward, he was obviously upset, warned Nelson that more steel, “and don’t tell me you can't get it.” Then turning sharply to Gen. Marshall he warned that there were to be no more Second Front speeches Churchill, of course, was not pres- ent at the Molotoff conversations, so high U. S. officials flew to Lon- don to get his views. This was mid-summer. Meanwhile the Nazi mechanized legions were plunging across the plains of South Russia toward Stalingrad at the rate of 20 to 50 miles a day. Mean- while, alse, Army-Navy needs had sidetracked certain supplies which might have gone to Russia, convoys via Murmansk had suffered heavily and Stalin was getting more and more irate over lack of Allied sup- port. BRITAIN-U. S. 50-50 But Churchill remained more con- vinced than ever that a Second Front IN EUROPE was out of the question THIS YEAR. Among other things, he wanted an approximate 50-50 participation of U. S. and British troops; enough American he must have | troops at least to replace the Brit- ish in England and defend it if the Second Front failed. So Churchill, the chief NO man, flew to Moscow to present his views to Stalin face to face, and if possible smooth down the rumpled feathers of the Russian leader. On the first day of the confer- ence, all went well. Stalin, the Com~ munist, and Churchill, the arch- conservative, got along beautifully. On the second day the experts sat down, but did not get dlong so well. On the third day, Churchill and Stalin, reviewing the conclusions of the experts, came to grips. They parted on good terms, but only after being very frank and at times even belligerent with each other. However, though no Second Front was agreed upon, Churchill did ac- | complish the main purpose for which {he went to Moscow. That was to allay fears that Russia might with- draw from the war and make a sep- arate peace with Germany. How serious these reports actually were, perhaps never will be known. | But at any rate, Stalin gave him assurance that Russia would put up {the best defense possible at Stal- ! Meanwhile Churchill promised that the Second Front would continue under discussion. Although Church- ill was against it, President Roose- velt continued to be for it—if hum-g anly possible. And this belief that a Second Front must be established somehow, some way, was behind his | Labor Day speech, which, though ambiguous, was interpreted as pledg- ing a Second Front in Europe. | MILITARY ADVISERS OPPOSED Roosevelt’s chief stumbling block, , however, has been his own military (and naval advisers, especially Ad- 'miral Leahy. not been opposed to a Second Front in certain other areas, they have been very much opposed to the kind | |of second front which would satisfy Stalin, namely in Frahce or North- |ern Europe, where it would be a | direct threat to Germany. The oc- ! cupation of Dakar or French West | Africa apparently would not satisfy | stalin. But the opposition of certain high U. . Army-Nayy officers to a Euro- pean front has beén very strong in- ldeed. There the matter rests, which ingrad and fight to the bitter end. | Although they have | is why Stalin has brought the matter so frankly and vigorously out into | Associated Press. What the Russians have made very clear, and ‘what most people do mnot realize, is' that it is not I merely a matter of munitions—vital |though that is—but also a question | of keeping the Russian people alive. !Russia has now lost her granaries, | {and millions this winter will suffer or starve. Russia has also lost her coal deposits and is completely cut {off from her oil—while U. S. oil |companies and U. S. government agencies have dickered and frittered away priceless months trying to de- cide whether Russia should be given | closed-down Texas oil refineries— all because the big oil companies wanted to be paid royalties (even ‘though they never took out patents |in Russia). Naturally, |morale is not because of all this, too good in Russia. And the Willkie-Stalin statements are relatively mild compared with the sentiment of the Russian peo- ple. This is what returning Am- bassador Standley doubtless will re- {port to the White House, and this is one of the big factors to be con- | sidered regarding a Second Front IN EUROPE For Stalin has his military leaders to contend with, too.

After travelling a distance of 1,100 miles from Good News Bay to Broad Pass since the previous November, the Government reindeer herd reached its destination near Cantwell Station, on the Alaska Railroad || in September, according to W. T. Lopp, Superintendent for Alaska, U. S. Bureau of Education, who arrived on the Northwestern. There were between 1,200 and 1,500 reindeer in the herd, Lopp said., They were to remain in the Broad Pass country. Three hundred, purchased by Miss Ruth Reat from the Matanuska Reindeer Company, joimed the Govern- ment herd at Iditarod and were to remain with it during the winter. ‘W. R. Dunkle, scout engineer for the Guggenheims, was going to the States on the Northwestern after a trip to the Westward. Louis Levinseller, mining engineer, was a southbound passenger on the Northwestern. “Dolly” Gray brought a real live and beis 15 goat to Juneau on the gasboat Diana on which he had been hunting with Robert Simpson and Ed Jones. They had been absent for some time and had been cruising in the southern district. An annual two-day bazaar to be held in Moose Hall October 27-28 |was to wind up with a masquerade dance on the final night. The first |day of the bazaar was to be devoted to the display rooms, fish pond and other entertainment for the children. Dr. S. Hall Young was up and out for the first time since he had been taken ill with a esvere cold. He had been confined to his home for the past two weeks. The request for assignment of an army aviation squadron to Alaska 'had been formally disapproved by the War Department, according to a statement made by Gov. Scott C. Bone.
