NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1011 | American nulmnl Beattle, Wash. —_— e —_— WOMEN CONVINCED The women of America are overwhelmingly in favor of postwar planning now, and the creation of a world congress with police powers to prevent future Wars. on the strength of a continuing opinion. The poll yielded these interesting figures: 84 per- cent of the women interviewed (chosen so as to rep- | resent a true cross-section of female America) voted in favor of postwar planning now; 92 percent favored poll of women’s the establishment of a permanent world congress to | deal with international disputes, and of these 95 per- cent wanted the world congress to have the power | and means to enforce its decisions. Judging by this sample of women’s opinion, the wives and mothers of the nation—who in their own way know what war is—need no convincing that we must take positive action to head off future wars. By a ratio of 10 to 1 they embrace the idea of inter- national cooperation which was advanced and dis- carded in favor of isolationism at the end of World War I. And they are scarcely less preponderant in their belief that we should not await the end of the fighting before we consider the plans for the postwar world. If we take the results of this poll as truly typi- cal of what American women now believe—and there is no reason to doubt that it is at least fairly rep- resentative of their opinion—they connote a highly important political development . If isolationism ! should undertake a comeback it would have to find a solid footing in the minds of the women of the nation, since women as a whole—if we dare the gen- erality—are rather less adventurous in their political . thought ‘than man. But if the thought of retreating from the nation’s responsibilities in the world ap- pélled to the women of America a quarter of a cen- tury ‘ago, it evidently does not now. In that fact we see one of the bnghtefit hopes for effective action So reports the Woman's Home Companion to maintain the coming peace for something longer than a generation. Double-Action Rat Trap? | RNy | (Philadelphia Record) i | drive against the Japs on trap. The theory is that if we leave an enemy foot- |hold there, the Japs will risk valuable ships and iplnncs to supply them, and that we will knock them {off. | Ivs worked pretty well, too. The Japs have lost at least 67 planes, 15 ships sunk, six others probably sunk and 31 damaged in attempts to reinforce Kiska, |Attu and Agattu. Another enemy force was driven off last week. | We have been able to use land-based planes; the |Japs haven't. ! But now we learn that the Japs are trying to turn their rat trap into a spring-gun aimed at us. The Japs are working night and day to build jon Kiska a flight strip from which they can operate land-based planes. { Because of the mountainous terrain, Washington believed a landing field was impossible, the Associ-' ated Press reports. Now once again, the Japs are trying the “im- [possible”—as they did at Singapore and Hongkong and Pearl Harbor.’ Our air forces are taking the. threat seriously. Bombing raids have been made at the rate of one a day in March, compared with only nine in Febru- ary. On one day 94540 pounds of bombs were dropped, including one-ton “Jap busters.” But, after nearly 10 months, the Japs are still on Kiska. | Perhaps we will need another Solomons-style in- vasion to get them off, perhaps an even bigger effort if we let them complete their field as they almost |completed a field on Guadalcanal. New Russo-Japanese Pact (Cincinnati Enquirer) i The renewal of the fishing agreement, by which Russia allows the Japanese certain rights within Western Pacific waters controlled by the Soviet, is being construed in many quarters as a direct slap | at the United States. Such an inference is possible, ‘or course, but it is not necessarily correct. i Certainly it is true that control of the weather |station on Kamchatka, the Siberian peninsula which jextends to the northern end of the Japanese island | ichain, is of great benefit to the enemy. It is an important point of storm origin and its control gives | the Japs the opportunily to ride into the Aleutians | behind bad weather conditions which are hidden en- tirely from our de{endinx forces The pact, renewed at only a slight increase in price, also gives the Japa- nese rights in important fishing waters. Since fish is a major part of the Nipponese diet, this is an added benefit. The ways of international diplomacy, often are devious. however, | Before we arrive at hasty con- the new agreement with our enemy, we should re- view some of our own diplomatic actions. We have sent oil to Spain; we sold scrap metal | to Japan as she armed against us; we maintained | diplomatic relations with Vichy France when chhy was a German collaborator.’ Behind all those lhmo was good international reasoning, based primarily on advantages to this country. It is probable that the same sort of reasoning | lies behind the Russian toncessions to Japan. Dur- ing much of her history, Russia has had two his- toric and traditional fears; one of these has been Germany, the othér Japan. She now is battling Ger- many along a critical front There is no good rea- ! son for believing ‘that the war with Hitler suddenly has made Mr. Stalin and Mr. Tojo forget the mis- trust of dhcndes. —_— 3o { ounces. | Big 'brother Jimmie, aged four |and a half, who made his artival | {lmnon tv;amns 10 GET NEW MEMBER; APRIL 10 Favorite explanation for the lack of an all-out Kiska is that we are using Kiska (in the Rat group of islands) as a rat James Primavera Mrs. E.

Walking which more and more becomes unavoidable should be pleasant on this date, especiaily {if it leads the family to church Interest in religious faiths of every sort will be widespread as ti- {monies of benem;s demonktgating the power of prayer multiply.

BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Since the {United States government has be- icome the biggest business ar;am- izauon in all the world many cfhes {will benefit through a phase oI ‘publxc ownership which takes over |hotels and public buildings, astrol- ‘ogers point out.

War Ship- ping accordingly suggested that the Navy might find some other use for the vessel in the form to which it| had been reduced. But the Navy, -mr studying this for a week or| fwo, said they had no use for the ship. Negotiations between WSA and War Depagtment thereupon brought agreement to convert her troop ship. Believe it or not, it required| $550,000 to restore the ship to a gonidition suitable for the begin- nihg of the Army's conversion op- rations. On top of this came the[ gost of converting her to a troop ship, namely MNOOO These two figures, plus the Navy's conversion figure of $450,000, made a grand, total of $1,400,000, which approxi- | mbies what the ship was worth| ., when built ten years ago.

It provided that maximum allowances of $25 per ‘month for men and’ $45 a month for women, and permitted bene- | ticlaries of the act to continue to draw their allowances after removing from the Territory regardless of how long they remained. Mr. Shepard was warmly congratulated by his colleagues on the passage of the bill. The Rev. C. E. Rice, Dean of Holy Trinity Cathedral, left on the Estebeth for Haines on church business. He planned to go to Skagway from Haines and was to returni to Juneau the latter part of the week. F. A. J. Gallwas, by virtue of having scored one of the highest votes in the recent councilmanic contest in Douglas, was the previous night chosen as Chairman of the City Council and ex-officio Mayor to succeed James Christoe. Pagsengers leaving on the Estebeth for Skagway and way ports were: for Haines—Martin Schatz, Rev. C. E. Rice, W. Beltinger, B. A. Wilson; I for Skagway—2. Williams, B. F. Heintzleman. | The U. S. Coast Guard cutter Unalga was to leave Juneau within the near future for its annual cruise on patrol of the coast, according |to Capt. John Boedeker. He said the vessel would go on up the coast when the seal run was on and could not state how far to the Westward |the Unalgh would go. On the way west, the Unalga would meet the {cutters Haida and Algonquin. | TR RS Vi R. E.
