AL REP) A’ ~ Alssks New: w1 NATION m" "T SpADeTS, Bullding, WILL HELP WIN THE WAR As the war continues and the pinch becomes mgore severe, the value of a bill passed without oppo- sftion by both Houses of the Alaska Legislature and now. a law will be known. It became evident last year with the absence of rationing regulations in Alaska that the way was paved for what might well become a black market of astounding proportions in which unpatriotic Alas- kans could buy products in Alaska that are rationed in the States and peddle the goods in the South. Just before Christmas, many Alaskans took ad- vantage of the situation to send as gifts to friends and relatives in the States such choice rationed items as coffee, sugar, butter—even nylon hose and girdles. That the amount of goods thus shipped out then could have upset the balance in the States was im- probable. But there was a danger. . Secretary of Alaska E. L. Bartlett was one of the first to see the threat in the practice, and we remember that the only solution probable at that time was to attempt to halt the practice by pleas. There was no law against the shipping out of the goods. And the OPA regulations were not ca- pable of halting the shipments. True enough, reci- pients in the States should have declared all such shipments received. But it was difficult to enforce this regulation. Even now, the OPA has no right to | ment which had been achieved by the enemy, we | search a pantry. According to the Fourth Amend- ment to the Federal Constitution, we are still secure in our “persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures.” Search war- rhnts could only be résorted to in extreme cases. | The fact that the bill passed both Houses with- out débaté, only @ TeéWw explanatory remarks were Ineeded, is a credit to the attitude of the Alaskan |lawmakers. f It is now a serious offense, punishable by a fine ‘,as high as $1,000 or imprisonment up to oné year, or both, to export from Alaska any food or commodity which is rationed elsewhere in the States. Excepted, of course, are such items that are manufactured, produced or canned inside of the Territory. Evidence following : | Possession of food or stores in excess of ordi- nary requirements aboard any vessel, aircraft or vehicle leaving the Territory. | The sale of and purchase or possession of any such commodity by any person about to leave the | Territory, except for immediate consumption. i The law also gives the Alaskan producers, deal- ers and transporters the right to réfuse to sell or transport such goods when he suspects an attempt |to violate the act. | The bill was introduced by Senator |Cochran, President of the Senate. capable of action would be the O. D. These Weapons of Ours | (Cincinnati Enquirer) In two important battle phases the Allied Nations were weak at the start of the war. Strangely enough, |both classes of equipment saw their origin and early | developments in England and the United States. It was during World War I that the British mili- |tary men introduced the armored tank into battle. |The idea was an American one, stemming probably |from the armored ships Monitor and Merrimac. But ithe British put the principle into effect on land |vehicles, and on September 15, 1916, in the Battle of the Somme, armored monsters carried fear and havoe across to the German lines. 1 The airplane saw its first successful flight in the United Statés. This nation pioneered the plane dur- !ing its infancy. Thereafter we lagged in our aircraft |developmem. particularly s‘ong military lines. Our commpérceial air lines were operating only some years after this same type of travel had become common- place on the Continent. The first great German gains werc spearheaded |by armored and motorized divisions. French and | British defenders—and the defenders of the smaller nations—were powerless against them. The first big losses which the Japs inflicted against us came from the air. Our defenses, apparently, were inadequate. German planes for weeks bombarded English cities at will. But gradually there has been a change. It is now British and American tanks which are taking the offensive in North Africa. American-built tanks | have done yoeman service for the Red Army in the ! recent Russian offensive. American airmen, flying [Amerlcan ships, wiped out an entire Japanese con- |voy in the South Pacific. British and American air | power is demolishing, systematically and effectively, cities and industries in Germany. The R.AF. has virtually cleared the air above England of enemy | ships. | From the losses we received while we brought the | weapons we originated up o the point of develop- | should learn an important lesson—never again can we allow our vigilance to lag; never again can we snoozé comfortably in a haze of self-content while | sinister forces outside take our ideas and turn them "against us.
