" THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU ALASKA Vidory Book ~ (ampaignls To Bg_S_IarI‘ed The 1943 Victory Book Campaign |is to be started in Juneau this week and will run up to and including | Priday, March 5. | ! The campaign is sponsored joint- | ly by the American Library Asso-| ciation, the American Red Cross and the United Service Organiza- | tions. | The purpose of the drive will be |to collect and deliver to the public Plibraries as many books as .it is poessible to accumulate in the given time. This year, however, emphasis is being placed on the quality of books—both as to physical condi- tion and readability—rather than on the attainment of a staggering' over-all total. Classifications of | books desired for the increasing mil- | lions of our fighting men, soldiers, | sailors, marines, coast guardSmen and merchant seamen, inclide cur- rent best-sellers and the more re- cently published popular fiction and | non-fiction; technical books pub- lished since 1935; humorous books; | and small-sized editions of pop- ular titles, both current and class-! ical. | These books, after accumnulation | at all libraries throughout the coun- | try, will be distributed to camp and naval- base libraries and all' bases, of field operations whether at home to give you the lift you need.

Those who propose to hold the Army down say the point where military require- ments for supplies and equipment, | are overbalancing our ability to produce them. Why put more men into the Army, these persons ask, if we can’t give them guns or par- achutes—the very guns and para-| chutes they might themselves be| producing if they were still in civil life? ! Issue Brought Up The question seems to have been brought out in public the first time by Pierre Cot, former French avia- tion minister, before the House mil- itary committee. “The (French) republic suffered from general industrial weakness, having a labor force onhly about one-third as large as Germany's.

It would be even more fu- | tile to raise so large an army that| its attempted supply and mainten- | {ance will destroy essential civilian| economy.” | Significant Reaction Reaction —and significant reac- tion— was not slow fn coming. President Roosevelt, in a press| conference, said he had noted com- ments that continuing to increase| the armed forces would discom- bobulate the domestic economy (dis- combobulate is a favorite word of | his) and said such a statement speaks for itself as something not | popular in the midst of a serious war. He said Cot's statement was| amazing and that it was equally| amazing that anyone in Congress | should try to apply it to the United States. ! Stimson Talks Blunt Secretary of War Stimson spoke out even more bluntly.
