ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. American Bullding, Sea A “CANDID FRIEND” On the day after Wendell L. Willkie made his shattering speech to the American public, we said that it was one of the best mples of what we needed more of that had been shown Quite a few newspapers and commentators didn't like the speech. Many of them brought up the old boogy of how Willkie was playing with the lives of millions of young Americans in advocating im mediate second front This, of course, was silly. War always plays with the lives of millions. It takes many millions of lives. On the other hand, our military leaders at- tempt to bring about victory with as little loss of life as possible. But at the same time, Willkie had seen first hand conditions in Russia and China. It is simple truth that these countries have given many more lives already in fight against the Axis than the United States ev will give for victory Willkie was measuring the sacrifices of these peoples our Allies, with our sacrifices. Ours were small indeed, compared to theirs. Some commentators tut-tutted very loudly about Willkie's crack at the United States and.the British empire on the India problem. They claimed that he was aggravating an ally—causing ill-feeling. To | listen to them you would have thought that the | British envoys would be called home from America almost any day The British press surprised these commentators. The British enjoy verbal bombings. are never quite cricket in Parliament unless Majesty's Loyal Opposition” is on the job, Willkie performed that function in America Manchester Guardian these Things “His The one of the most loyal English riewspapers, and one of the best publications in the world, commented Willkie's ech by saying: “Let us hope that the British Government will read between the lines and see in Mr. Willkie's careful phrases how badly failure in India the common cause.” The British newspapers and the British people we believe felt rather that Willkie was paying them on our reacts on NOTE: Col ‘o](l. distinguished Washington Mm. ;s'-l-\vu(x with distinction in the last member of | war, was a | Lafayette E Go-Round | Sl B can campaign is its effect upon (Continued from Page One) BAGUARDILA CALLS: SW.

General Hershey states that the draft is not the major factor. He says plainly that if every farm worker had been deferred, there still would be a critical farm situation pay of war plants is the main source and one survey shows that selves have quit farming entirely pay which factories now offer Nobody can blame men for their wages It is his view that the higher of the trouble farmers them- the higher some to get wanting to increase But a nation at war faces a far more serious food situation than the same nation at peace. To- day our job is to feed the biggest Army in our his- tory world and one which soon will be the biggest in the Besides that, we must help feed our Allies |And in addition, there is our civilian population to be taken care of adequately can’t perform miracles wat’'s why it is strange to find War Manpower Chief McNutt issuing a statement calling on farm- ers to produce more food in a hurry McNutt is head of the one agency which is equipped to do something about this situation. Just (as copper miners have been told not to leave the mines for war jobs, so may the Government be forced to tell farm workers not to leave farm jobs for industry Whether we have compulsory conscription of manpower or not, the nation must ¥ still move on their stomachs—the armies in the field and the armies on the home front. Unofficial Ambassadress (New York Times) To the 360,000 miles she has traveled since March, 1933, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt has added sev- eral thousand more. The first President’s wile tc {fly the Atlantic is no stranger to travel by air, nor to travel by almost every other means except, per- haps. camels or elephants. In her adaptability and her unfeigned friendliness toward all sorts and con- ditions of people she is what we like to think of as typically American. The British will like her and she will like the British In official terms her statue is exactly that of any other American wife and mother. We do not elect President’s wives. But she has made herself a special place here, and will have one during her brief stay in Britain. We are fortunate, indeed, that the President’s wife in this instance can speak for the wives and mothers of the United States so sim- ply, so intelligently and with so much innate kindli- ness. Every one will wish her a pleasant visit and a safe return. ] Peter coming to the telephone!

What is a good definition of jealousy? A. Shenstone’s definition is, “Jealousy is the apprehension of super- jority.” For example, if a young man jealous of a rival's favor in the eyes of a girl, it is an admission that this rival is superior in some way.
