If then the Navy has decided on a new policy of holding warship losses from the public until new ones are commissioned to take their places. That would be absurd. | The Archbishop Speaks Out is made possible by new ship 50, | (Philadelphia Record) Adaptability to changing conditions is one of best ways we can judge the chances of survival a human being, an animal—or a countr. One of the reasons England has survived through centuries of industrial and political revolution is high-lighted by the recent address of the Archbishop the for ALAsKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LAROIR HAN THAT OF ANY OTHER P 'UBLICA’ of Canterbury, NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1011 | Dr. William Temple Now the Church of England is established by \merican Bullding, Seattle, Wash, ABOUT EXPL Byron Price, Director of Censorship, recently told a gathering of newspaper publishers that Am- erican newspapers are doing a good job in striking a balance between what war should be pub- lished and what withheld, but are falling down on the job of informing the public as to why some in- formation is withheld. Although we admire the Director of Censorship and realize that he has a difficult job to perform NATIONS news in the war effort, it seems to us that he passed the buck on that one. Newspapers have had very little opportunity date to decide whether anything should or not be printed. The network of civil and military censorship organizations is holding the reins in the news lanes. Perhaps newspapers would do a little explaining as to why information is withheld if the Army and Navy would pass the basis for the ex- planation along When the news of the American air raid on Tokyo was released, the impression given out was that none of ourepilots was lost. The Japs claimed the capture of a few of the fliers, claimed shooting down at least one plane, but sources denied this. Now Secretary of War Henry Stimson says that perhaps the Japs do have a few of our boys, taken after the raid on Tokyo. This is an example of a situation where infor- mation was withheld. Secretary Stimson explained nothing the other day when he released the news. It may be that although the War Department knew that some of our fliers went down in the raid, or after, it was not sure but what they had a chance for escape to friendly territory, and for that reason, withheld the information. But the newspapers have no way of knowing that this was the case. Last week, the Navy Department announced the sinking of three American cruisers in the Solomons -news held back for two months. Here, again, there was no explanation of why the news of these sinkings was not given out at the time. In making the announcement, the Navy did s to should our law and is part of the Constitution of the country. |1t is, in a very true sense, a branch of the Govern- | ment. Yet we hear the primate of the church utter- ying sentiments which, in this country, would send Congressman Dies on his trail. The Archbishop of Canterbury told his London audience that money—or its modern form of credit— has become a private monopoly of the banks and this monopoly should be taken over by the Gov- ernment. Private issue of new credit, he said, should he regarded in the modern world just as private mint- ing of money was regarded in earlier times. He ad- vocated limiting the bgnks' power to issue credit to the amount of their actual deposits, while the issue !of newer credit should be the exclusive function of government. He said, too, that while he was not persuaded that nationalization of land was the proper way to deal with the problem of private ownership, we must “assert the prior interest of the community respecting land.” We have not heard of any convulsions from the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street, as the British call that other completely English institution, the Bank of England. A great country, England. It knows how survive not only bombings but new ideas. to Petrillo Marches On (New York Times) Undeterred by Congressional investigations or Department of Justice prosecutions, Petrillo marches on, telling the American people what they can and cannot hear. It is a rare day on which he does not think of some new suppression. The weekly re- broadcast of Jack Benny's radio program to the Pacific Coast has been canceled because of the fight by Petrillo’s union against transcriptions. He has demanded, according to officials of the Blue network, that both the early and late Benny shows be pro- duced with “live talent,” or that the musicians be paid double wages. Is Petrillo foolish in carrying his campaign so fa Or has he sized up the American politician correctly? Congress, he is confident, will not dare to take any serious action before election—or even after. Meanwhile it is important for all of us to keep in mind that indignation against Mr. Petrillo personally is futile. He is merely a symptom. Petril- lo and union leaders like him will continue to im- pose their private dictatorships at least as long as Congress (1) acquiesces in the Supreme Court’s de- cision that labor unions enjoy sweeping immunities from the anti<trust acts; (2) acquiesces in the Su- preme Court's decision that labor unions enjoy sweeping immunities from the Federal Anti-Racke- teering Act; (3) forces employers to recognize and ! deal with unions but does nothing whatever to com- pel these unions to conduct their affairs responsibly; (4) retains a state of law which forces an individual to join a union, whether he wants to or not, because his source of livelihood would otherwise be cut off, by boycotts of himself and his employers, or by other ? y that the loss means. 1 Waslnnqm Merry- E Go-Round (Continued from Page One) small one on the the contrary, also are high in praise Federal penitentiaries classed as dispensable, COLLECTING TIN CANS One of the biggest probleq]s in the campaign to collect tin cans is the fact that there are only two detin- ning plants in the area east of the {Rocky Mountains, though these plants have increased | will not be|Ann Henning, Elizabeth Daigler, June Ransopher and Sylvia Lister. | Representatives of other troops will appear on later broadcasts.

There is a threatening por- tent affecting labor. HEART AND HOME: Temptia- tion to hoard household essentials will affect many women at this time when tfue patriotism forbids this form of selfishness. Study of food values will enable home cooks to provide well-balanced meals that leave no cause for regret re- garding rationing and {reezing regulations. Girls will plan the sub- stitution of hard work for their usual autumn programs of social | affairs. It will be necessary, the seers warn, for women of all walks of life to aid in war production tasks. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Private | enterprise will contribute greatly to government needs in prosecut- ing war plans on a gigantic scale. Capitalists as well as everyday folk of average income will realize what it means when all-out aid isneed- | ed. Work for everyone will assure | continued prosperity in all parts | of the country. The end of the month will give abundant assur- | ancé that at last the nation has| attained momentum that means in- | evitable victory in the greatest of | conflicts. NATIONAL ISSUES: Among the heroes of the nation many Negroes will gain fame as they prove their efficiency in all branches of the | armed forces. Surgeons will con- tribute much in hospitals. Men of many professions will prove their ability as officers and enlisted men. When peace is won “liberty and equality for all” will be more than a phrase. Through suffering and sacrifice citizens of “the United ' States are to attain a splendid un-' ity, the seers prophesy. | INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Secret missions will be numerous as daring plans for the greatest of | all offensives are expanded by the United Nations. Events next month ' will emphasize the need of fre- quent conferences among the gov- | ernment heads of the Allied peo-! ples. Satuin’s transit through Ge- mini between May 1942 and June 1944 will add to the effects of the | Uranian transit through the sign. Complications may be expected. | Persons whose birthdate it is| have the augury of a year o[j much success in private affairs and | public service. There may be travel | and change for both men and wo- | men. Children born on this day prob- ably will enjoy success in science | or literature. Gifted and ambiti- | ous, they should have strong, well-! balanced characters. (Copyright, e 1942) ! ATTENTION MASONS Stated Communication of Mt. | Juneau Lodge Monday evening at 7:30. Work in F. C.

The flower was a full blown Siberian wild rose of the big single variety and was perfect in form and color. Mrs. E. Ninnis, of Douglas, returned on the Princess Mary from the South where she had been for some time visiting with relatives. An address by Delegate Dan Sutherland was to be the feature of the bi-weekly meeting of the Juneau Commercial Association at the U and I Cafe. President Shattuck urged all members desiring to hear him to be on hand promptly, as, owing to the limited size of the resaurant, the number who could be accommodated was not large. Ralph Bartholomew, of Ketchikan, was expected in Juneau the fol- lowing day on the Northwestern to spend some time visiting. M. S. Truesdell, John and Dick Harris had returned from a hunting trip to Auk Cove. They brought in a large number of ducks and several deer. Game was plentiful in the vicinity of Auk Cove they said. The steamer Jefferson, which had dropped its propeller in Dixon Entrance and was towed to Ketchikan, was bound for Seattle in tow of |the big freighter Medon, according to advices received. According to the | dispatch, alll passengers remained aboard the Jefferson except a few who | took passage on the Spokane. Weather was rainy with a maximum temperature of 51 and a mini- mum of 50.
