Rome As An Open City New York Times) The Badoglio Government announces that as early as July 31 it appealed to the Holy See to act as in- termediary in obtaining immunity for Rome from further bombings, and that, having received no reply, it “has now determined to declare formally and pub- licly without further delay that Rome is an open city and that all necess measures in conformity | with international law are being taken.” The first apy mentioned in this announcement is a mystery. The Vatican declares that it is surprised by it and Allied quarters declare that they have never heard of it. Pending further clarification it must be assumed, therefore, that Badoglio is merely trying to shift responsibilty for the second bombing of Rome re- | cently. He obviously recognizes that mere Axis pro- paganda is unable to stop the raids, and that their continuation is likely to overthow his regime as the first raid on Rome helped to overthrow Mussolini. The response of the Rome populace and that of other | bombed Italian cities clearly demonstrates that the raids are a most effective means of stirring Italian peace demands to the point where they may compel government action. | " But quite apart from Badoglio's effort at political |mrkery. there stand his public declaration that Rome is an open city now and his request to the Allies to | announce the conditions under which they will recognize it as such and spare it from further harm There is no reason why the Allies should not do so. Following the u procedure, no issue of The |y jo within the authority of General Eisenhower, as | Empire will be published on Monday, September 6, |the Commander in Chief of military operations, to| | notify Badoglio just what the price of Rome’s safety | is. Such a notification could specify the precise steps | that must be taken by the Italian Government to | remove Rome, its factories and its railway systems entirely from the war. ‘l P e A MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS The Assoclated Press is exclusively entitled to the use for republication of all news dispatches credited to it or not other- wise credited in this paper and also the local news published Berein NTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 tle, Wash NATIONAL REPRE Fourth Avenue Bldg NO PAPER MONDAY Labor Day TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT The Axis itself has never paid any attention to bond booth on Lower Franklin Street in front of the declarations of the kind Badoglio has made Mani!n“ Coliseum Theatre for the purpose of selling any of the | Belgrade and Brussels were bombed after they had following: been declared open cities and stripped o(‘ all military ‘hich will cost you $1875 and will be and governmental agencies in preparz\_r.mn for sur- A Bond which Wi cont 39 render.

One million people were reported homeless in Tokyo and Yokohama as the result of an earthquake which struck a few days previously Under authority of a resolution adopted by the Chamber of Com- merce, President Allen Shattuck appointed a special committee to confer with the Ketchikan Commercial Club relative to the proposed effort to secure a division of the Territory.

Forest Service headquarters, according to advices received by the District Forester Miss Florence Casey and Miss Carcl Webster left Juneau on the Queen for the States where they were to attend school. Miss Casey was to go to Moscow, Idaho, where she was to enter the third year at the University of Idaho, and Miss Webster was enroute to enter the Bel- lingham Normal Schoo! at Bellingham, Wash.

A. it was planned to present her with a gift of qu’ Liberty ships which she was to christen. Then suddenly the gift| was muysteriously held up. { Now, several months later, it has been decided to present China with the two Liberty ships. Behind this is one of the most important econo- mic decisions made by ‘the British Empire since the war began—the decision to pay Chinese seamen the same wages as British. Ipside reason why the two Liberty | vesdels were withheld from Madnme: Chiang was because the Chinese proposed paying British-scale wages | to the crews on these ships. This| would have meant agitation by 10,-| 000 Chinese seamon on British! ships throughout the world. For a time this developed into an embarrassing, almost ugly argu-| ment. The Chinese Government felt that it had a right to pay its seamen any wages it wished on thP‘ two new Liberty ships we were giv. ing Madame Chiang. But the Brit-/ ish, supported by the War Shipping Administration, opposed The argument got down to the very roots of empire dominance:| down to Britannia's rule over the seven seas. For what most people don’t realize is that hundreds of British ships are manned by low- paid Chinese sailors. In peacetimes, Chinese seamen sail on every British merchant ship on the Pacific. Thousands of them ply up and down the Yangtze River, along the China coast, among the South Sea Islands—all under Brit- ish captains and the British flag. But now the British have taken a | step which may mean more equal-| ized wage competition after the war. They have agreed to pay Chi- nese seamen the same scale as British. The British did not make this de- cision easily. Obviously they recog- nized the ramifications it would (have on the Empire after the war.

BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Through| mistakes and muddling in efforts to put many lines of production and distribution under Government di- rection, the seers declare that the public will receive education in busi- ness which will be invaluable in the future. The clash of ideas as ex- pressed by economists and manu- facturers will continue to bring out heavy Chinese desertions from Brit- ish ships in American harbors. After the war, of course, the Brit- | ish can reduce wages. Also they! are still below the American scale.| However, economists inside the Gov- | ernment feel that an important step ' has been taken toward equalization | of American - British competition | after the war. ] (Copyright, 1943, by United | Feature Syndicate, Inc.) | -+ FUNERAL SERVICES NEXT TUESDAY FOR GEOR_GE PETERSON | The funeral of George Peterson | who died at the Government Hos- pital September 1 will be held| Tuesday at 2 pm. in the Catholic Church of the Nativity.

NATIONAL ISSUES: 1In the purging of civilization, astrologers emphasize the need of reforms in political methods long employed in th2 United States. They point out the Fascist customs prevail among political parties and that partisan dictators are accepted by voters, who boast of representing a great democracy. In the new order the seers forecast opportunities to pre- vent graft and greed for power as sister, Mrs. John George of Peters- burg; and a cousin, Mrs. Joe White of Hoonah.
