NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1011 Qmerican Bullding, Seattle, Wash. THE RED CROSS In today’s war finance figures $62,000,000 seems very little. You can do great things with it, how- ever. The American Red Cross, as Chairman Nor- man H. Davis reported recently, spent that much during the past year for supplies sent to 30,000,000 persons abroad. Five million dollar’s worth of goods went to prisoners of war. One can imagine how | thuch hope and comfort a few dollars bought in | that sad market. Efforts are now being made to get relief into China and Russia, though it isn't! easy. During 1941 the Red Cross collected 50,000 tnits of precious blood plasma—often the difference between life and death for an injured person. So | far this year there have been a million blood do- nors. Other items of note are 60,000 women trained #s volunteer nurses’ aids, 500,000 trained for nursing, and 350,000,000 surgical dressings, besides | garments and other articles, prepared by 3,500,000 volunteer workers. Some services are hard to measure statistically. Among these are: personal advice and help to sol- diers in the field who have family problems at home; medical and psychiatric assistance to hospitalized men; clubs and recreational centers for soldiers on leave on foreign soil. Wherever the fighters go the | Red Cross goes. Its volunteer dollars and volunteer workers are among the finest expressions of a de- mocracy at war.

British bombers from England already have been with frightful effect. Now !large United Nations air fleets are assembling much closer to Italy in North Africa. | Italy is especially vulnerable to air attack. The entire country is no larger than the two states of {Oregon and Washington. Within this limited "u(- nine Italian cities of more than 25000 popula- |tion, 14 cities of 100,000 to 250,000 inhabitants and |82 cities with populations of 50,000 to 100,000. Italy has a population of 344 to the square mile. |New York state, which we in America regard as heavily populated, has only 264 inhabitants to,the square mile. So densely populated a nation is bound to suffer _l‘rightmuy from air bombings. It is entirely feasible and likely that bombings will knock macaroni-laden forks out of Italian hands and cause them to grab up pens to sign a separate |peace treaty with the Allies. The Forest Service Stand (Cincinnati Enquirer) Since America’s forests are one of the nation's most important natural resources, the fight certain ‘(ommtru'\] timber interests now are waging against |the United States Forest Service is a matter of na- {tional concermn. The opposition is based on the failure of the Forest Service to push for passage of lhv $9,000,000 forest-fire protection fund, under the Cluk McNary Act. The act now provides a limit lof $2 ,500,000 for fire protection purposes. Aside from the fact that it is big news when any Federal agency refuses to ask for more money, the information is interesting. The Forest Service objects to increasing expenditures to protect wood- ‘lun s from fire, while proper measures to protect {them from the ax seem to be unpopular—particu- {larly by the same commercial timbermen who are |pushing the fire protection mark-up. Back in 1940 the Forest Service asked that the| protection fund be raised to $9,000,000. That request | was a part of an all-around forestry program which included complete forest management, cooperative marketing of timber, protection from disease, and public control of cutting practices, even on private |lands, in order to stop denuding, which still is an levil in too many sections of America. Certain forest interests opposed the 1940 pro- posal. They objected to it, not because it would 1cxtend Federal fire protection, but because it would | extend protection from destructive timber cutting. They were—and still are—favorable to any increase in forestry expenditures where direct benefits themselves are apparent. When the benefits are ex- tended, however, to guard the interests of the pub- lic in the growing timber resources, and in the land | itself, then objections were raised. The Forest Service, an organization of proven | worth and ‘efficiency, objects ta fostering one type of protection without being certain that the othe: will be forthcoming. The rumeors, however, continued. U. 8. Minister to Finland Arthur Schoenfeld was called home. But the State Department continued its denials until it was red in the face. Shortly thereafter, Finnish Min- ister Procope walked into the State Department with a cable from his government asking him to explain the wave of anti-Finnish senti- ment which had swept over the American public.

The incident illustrates the gen- leral policy of the State Depart- ment to champion Russia’s neigh- bors, even though they are at war with Russia. For some time the State Department balked at declar- ation of war against Hungary and Roumania, even when these coun- tries had declared war against us. Today Russia again is demanding that we break with Finland, which éxplains the hush-hush policy of the career boys. They don't want their hand forced by American pub- lic opinion.
