NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 | Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. REMOVING RESTRICTIONS Lieut Delos C. Western Defense- Command, recently stated that the Army on the West Coast will adopt a “hands-off in regard to civilian affairs as far as possible | Gen. Emmons, new chief of the | policy” and a modification of at least some of the restrictions | now in effect is assured. He commented that it would be a “great victory to the system that has been more or less patented by Nazi Germany. Pre-war propagandists explained to us that such controls were adopted by thé members of the Nazi Party because the people of Germany as a whole were not behind the Nazi movement and had to be con- trolled from above in everything they did. This regimentation was neeessary to firmly establish the Nazi Party The Nazi government couldn’t trust the German people. Therefore, such control was necessary. Americans, however, see red when they realize that they are not trusted. Perhaps some form of check is necessary, but the form now applied beats anything the Nazis have been able to dream up. Mr. Wheeler Is An Expert (New York Times) When Senator Wheeler of Montana professes to know more than the armed forces know about what is necessary for the national defense, as he does in the present controversy over his bill to forbid the draft of fathers, anyone with a memory more than an inch long is entitled to some skepticism. For Mr. Wheeler's record in the matter of knowing what is necessary for the national defense is anything but brilliant. bone of ‘our whole present system of national defense, was proposed in the summer of 1940 Mr. Wheeler fought it tooth and nail. France had fallen by that time. Hitler had overrun a half dozen other coun- tries. He was beating at the gates of Britain and battering at the defenses of the whole Atlantic world. | But in Mr. Wheeler's judgment at that time: “This talk about a ¢ s in this country ought to stop. The only crisis that exists is conjured up in the minds of | people who are seeing a fifth columnist under every | sagebrush in the country and by those who believe that 'we must set up a dictatorship in this country in order to preserve democracy in Europe.” Mr. Wheeler cast his vote against the adoption of the Selective Service Act. In the same session he voted to re-enact the arms-embargo provisions of the Neu- | trality Act which would have denied effective aid {to the nation which have now become our allies in the defense of the United States. One year later, when, on the eve of Pearl Harbor, General Marshall declared that “a grave national | for the Japanese if they were able to tie up soldiers | and workers in unnecessary restrictions.” We agree with that. We suggest that a good place | | to start in the removing of restrictions is in the control of trdvel to and from and within Alaska. Anyone who\ has gone through the building in Seattle to get a permit to return to, or come to Alaska for the first time, is amazed at the number of civillan workers required to handle the miles of red tape. Anyone | who has come to Alaska recently is reminded of fiction he has read about travelers in Nazi Germany, sO complete is the check given citizens of the United | States traveling to another part of the United States. The system goes against the gratn of every red- blooded American, P&p(‘(nl]\' so when he compares it lashinnln Merry- Go-Round (Continued trom P-n One) |on the application This was in Pan Normally, when an; |a storm of protest. | CAB hearings as | guing against the But when th she loses a five percent reduction for the retirement fund, plus 20 percent in withholding tax, or a total of 25 percent.

Hawaiian danc COTTON ED SMITH A significant situation is brewing around the figure of South Caro- lina's venerable Cotton Ed Smith, caustic Roosevelt-hater. In 1938, during the famous, “purge” campaign; the President was definitely opposed to Smith, but never made a public speech against him In the end, Smith was nominated over Governor Olin Johnston, part- ly through the tacit aid of Senator Jimmy Byrns. Jimmy naturally did| not want Johnston elected, since he came from Byrnes' section of the state, so Jimmy used his in- fluence with the President to hlock any speech against Smith. 1 However, the South Carolina sit- uation has now shifted. Justice Byrnes is no longer in the Senate, Olin Johnston, re-elected gover-| | nor a second time, is now a. candi- date once again for the Senate. And this time Johnston will get the tacit support of Justice Byrnes. The popular South Carolinian will make no speecha. may even deny that he will do anything at all. But friends close to him will work openly against Cotton Ed Smith and for the election of Governor Olin Johnston to the U. S. Senate.

Myers W"" —— HOROSCOPE “The stars incline but do not compel” FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1 Benefic aspects dominate today which should be fortunate for in- dustry’ and favorable for amuse- ments. Theatres are under promis- ing planetary influences. HEART AND HOME: Women| should be most active under this| configuration which presages suc-| spire foresight and encourage sound judgment. Again romance may have strong effect upon the femin- ine mind and heart. Young and| old may be emotionally sensitive. Engagements and marriages will be numerous through this month when Ithe desire for companionship will be compelling. Love with all its illusions will be a healing power through coming months. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Fuel will early focus attention in eastern states. Scarcity of oil will be felt with a new realization that war's demand has emphasized problems of supply and transportation. Aut- umn trade and commerce will con- | tinue to be most active and expan- isive. Retail merchants are assured of large sales, even though prices soar appreciably. Luxuries will be in demand by a minority of Am-| ericans who persist in maintaining peacetime standards of living. Dip- |lomacy and clever management in | Washington will produce fair re-| sults. \ NATIONAL ISSUES: Warnings! against too much optimism regard- |advices received at his office here. from; THE EMPIRE 20 YEARS AGO SEPTEMBER 30, 1923 i A land slide on Mount Juneau caused damage to the flume carrying | the water supply of the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company power house to the extent of $1,000, according to W.
