RUSSIA’S AIMS With American setbacks in Africa, lar gains on other fronts, Allied eyes turn more and no spectacu- more towards Russia for heartening news. People now are not asking the question, “Will Russia be able to hold out?” What they are asking now is‘ “Where will Russia stop?” Will the Russians go on to Berlin? They went to Berlin once, in 1760. They went into Paris once, too, after Napoleon's downfall. We believe the Rus- sians will drive into Germany if they can. There have been too many atrocities committed by the Nazis in the Ukraine and other parts of occupied Russia. The Russians want more than to drive the invader from Russia. But we do not believe that Russia wants any- thing else from Germany. On the contrary, Russia’s post-war aims point toward the Pacific. Walter Duranty, author and correspondent who seems to know as much about Soviet Russia as any writer who has spent much time in that country, believes this is so. He proposes that Russia wants an independent Soviet of Manchuria, affiliated with the USSR, a similar Republic of Korea, even per- haps the Northwestern Chinese Soviet Republic of Sinkiang, Ningshia and Shensi, whether the Chinese want this or not. The Russians Coast But only after Germany is defeated will Russia want an interest in the China 'lished a statement that Hull had!when the nation was down to her| m‘u offered the $100,000,000 credit to last stocks, and Franco was saved | Franco, but that Undersecretary to fight another day.” = Welles had gone over his head to, NOTE: Greatest worry on the “-Ro“n‘ the President to oppose it part of Gen.

There Must Be Limits (Cincinnati Enquirer) The two top men in American union labor, Wil- liam Green of the Americarn: Federation of Labor and Philip Murray of the Congress of Industrial Organi- zation, paid President Roosevelt a call at the White {House the other day to complain that the “cost of living is getting out of bounds,” and ask that some- | thing be done about it | Although they suggested some form of “over-all | ceiling,” what Messrs. Green and Murray seemed to l)vgard as the best solution to the problem is a re- vision of the so-called “Little Steel formula,” where- by the War Labor Board has been limiting general wage increases to no more than 15 percent of the wage levels of January 1, 1941. They complained that this wage stabilization program is too rigid, land unfairly keeps stationary both high and low level | wages, The Federal wage stabilization program is not perfect of course. It is a wartime expedient, a rule | of thumb policy arrived at in the face of necessity. | But Mr. Green and Mr. Murray must not forget that | Ithe wage stabilization program is one of our main | dikes against inflation—and this is hardly a time to revile the beauty of its architecture There could be no wage stabilization program if it undertook to humor every man's desire for higher wages. Such a program must have terminal facili- jties; it must be tied hard and fast to something. The same thing is true of a food price control pro- |gram, and the two are interdependent It is futile for labor leaders, or farmers or any- one else to seek a solution of the high cost of living problem ‘through a mass increase of their own wages or prices. Our economic structure is a very complex thing but its operation is fundamentally simple. The cost of living, after all, is but a combination of the wages and prices of material and foodstuff that enter into the provision of our everyday necessities. | | Inflation travels through our econouwiic structure in a vicious circle. If it is not curbed somewhere, one set or group of our population imposes temporarily | {upon the others—but only temporarily. It is a not- able characteristic of inflation that it finally leaves all concerned worse off. The United States is going to import coffee pow- der from Brazil--but not for drinking. It will be| used to make a new plastic called caffelite. That's all right. We need plastics, and we can get along without coffee.

When Uranus passes through THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU ALASKA 20 YEARS AGO F¥s pmeire S e FEBRUARY 23, 1923 In as pretty a setting of colorful decorations as had ever been seen in Juneau, the Southeast Alaska Shrine Club dance held the previous evening was described as being one of the prettiest social affairs given for months. Next dance to Be given by the club was scheduled for Thurs- day, March 22 The En-Ti-Ty Club was the name which had been chosen by the mothers who had organized to hold parties for the students of the Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth grades of the Juneau Public Schools during the school year. The name was formed from the first letters of the grades. The next party planned by the group was to be a mas- querade on March 3 when the evening was to be spent in games and dancing followed by supper. To celebrate the fifth birthday of her nephew, Robert Louis “Bobby” DeLong, Mrs. N. V. Lattin entertained a number of his small friends at her home. Guests were Sarah Walker, Annabelle Simpson, Corrine Jenne, Carol Robertson, Meribeth Young, Beatrice Mullen, Kenneth Stark, Sidney Carter, Wallace George, Jimmy and Tommy Cole, Bobby Case, Billie Winn, Billie Johnson, Buddy Bradford, Curtis Bradford, Fred Paul, Alvin Reher, | Gunnar and Robert Blomgren, Tom Redlingshafer and Frank Metzgar. Appointment of James S. Pitcher to be Territorial Game Warden for the Ketchikan district, was announced by Gov. Scott C. Bone. Mr. Pitcher was a resident of Hyder, an oldtime Alaskan who had mined in the Nome section and in the interior. Miss Ebba Djupe, field representative for the American Red Cross, Fifth Division, was to leave Juneau on the Northwestern for Wrangell, where she was to spend some time in the interest of the Red Cross peace time program.

No. If the dish does not coftain a fork or spoon, it is an indication that whatever is on it is to be taken with the fingers.
