Alaska Newspapers, 1411 OUR OBLIGATION On the cover of a recent issue of a widely cir- culated magazine of national repute, there is a picture of a man with weasel eyes, squirrel mouth, weak receding chin and evil countenance. The picture is unpleasant to look upon; repulsive. Tt is Himmler, the gangsier, the cruel, savage, leader of Hitler's hell-hounds; Himmler, the degenerate; the cold-bloode pitiless, criminal persecutor, robber, torturer, thief and murderer of millions of human | beings in the conquercd countries of Europe. He is the man Germany has chosen from among the group of | heartless savages, now controlling her destiny, to conduct a reign of terror and ruthless extermination among tens of millions of innocent men, women and children in the countries now under the control of Germany This campaign of torture, starvation and nnn'{{vr has already resulted in the death of more than ten helpless and defenseless in the million human beings occupied portion of the country of our great ally, Russia; in Norway, Holland, France, Belgium Yugo- slavia. Greece, Britain, Poland, Czechoslovakia. We are told on the highest authority that not more than one child in twenty born in Gre since the beginning of 1940 is now alive. Death has come from starvation. It has come in its most hideous form If one man-eating tiger can be said to be worse ing tiger, then we might the cruelties of the Huns today, than the cruelties of than any other man-e: ay that cruel who control even less are Germany for an increase in peacr loving, unoffending have been starved their campaign against the Chinese of whom tens of miliio.: and shot down like clay pigeons Now we are many tliousands of miles from the scenes of all these horrors and atrocities. Our country has not been invaded and overrun by these blood- thirsty, wild beasts in human form. We are not undet, the lash of thé Japahese sons of Heaven, nor have we felt the bite and sting of the rat teeth of the vampire Himmler But while the very enormity of these atrocities. and inhuman mass murders, continued for a period, destroying such large ctions of the human race, has blunted and calloused to some extent our feelings and sympathies, we have been contributing; to various national relief agencies of the many coun- tries involved. Tt has now been decided to pool all the contributions, so that instead of raising separate for the suffering and stricken peoples of the many nations, one fund is being solicited which will be pro ed and divided on the proper basis among the several relief organizations Juneau is being asked to contribute $12,000 of & total of $125,000,000 for the ensuing year Appeals to sympathy and pity; to common honesty and decency and justice are generally most effective in efforts to raise money for humane causes such as this; but there is another, although more selfish reason why the funds required should be promptly subscribed. We have known now, for nearly two years that ur own country was on the list of those marked for subjugation by Hitler and Hirohito; that our liberties, and our lives were doomed if Britain Russia had been forced to amounts jour property had been defeated or if submit to the invader We have a feeling But, we need the | tual and certain victory for us | that the doom of tyranny is at hand | the help; the present and future help of all peoples we are now asked to support | and in our own interest, it is our solemn and im- mediate duty and obligation to our own nation and to ourselves to succor and aid them now, so that they may continue in the struggle with us and hasten [the day of peace, and thus turn relieve us of unnecessary sacrifices of our own men and ships and planes. in Puerto Rico Preferred (Seattle Times) Grant of self-government to Puerto Rico is asked »f Congress by President Roosevelt. A bill has been drafted under the direction of Secretary of the Interior Ickes which would empower the Puerto Ricans to elect their own governor and other officials, and otherwise enlarge the scope of local control. The President urges Congress to pass it. “There is no reason,’ message of transmittal, * officials should continue out.” The justice of this concession to Puerto Rico need not be questioned: but such precedence and special preference may be deemed questionable in other quarters. There is no more reason why the governor and other officials of Alaska should continue to be appointed form without says the President in his vhy their governor and other to be appointed from with- | ing at the Mayflower, Dr. Francisco oil prices has be- Del Rio, special Ambassador from their Japanese partners in crime and destruction in aashinglol Merry- Go-Round (Continued from Page One) never good friends—until the Ickes iractor blew a tire. At Headwaters Farm, Olney. Maryland, harvesting had begun. Just at the height of operations, the tractor blew a tire. Ickes learned to his dismay that the nearest source of a new tire of that s was Akron, Ohio. He filled out his application, and wondered how many days of good harvesting ther he would lose, and whether t would come before the tire. Then his farm manager learned that OPA no longer requires ration certificates for used tractor tires A-used tire could be had immed- iately, from Washington, only 15 miles away. Mr. Ickes scratched his head, said to his manager, “Well, the OPA makes sense after all! U. S. AND BRITISH OIL It hasn't leaked out yet, but there is another significant side of the story of British failure to use Per- slan cil for Allied war operations. The flying ors reported that with American oil reserves being drained, the British were not using to capacity their oil around the Persian Gulf. This is absolutely Lrue However, it also is a fact that Judge Vinson and Byrnes, the White House stabilizers, had been talking to the British on this point end found the British ready to co- operate. The British, it is true, did not take the initiative in offering their oil, as they might well have done But much.less enthusiastic were the American oil companies This probably will be denied, but it became suspiciously apparent to the White House advisors that the big U. S. oil companies would just AS. soon continue supplying the oil themselves instead of having the British open up more preduction ayound the Gulf of Persia Reason for this, it was suspected, was to force an increase in the price of oil at home. The oil com- panies have been putting tremendous | pressure on Economic Stabilizer Vinson and the Government gen- erally to grant them an increased price on oil. Oné argument—and it bas adot of validity—is that oil is mow priced so low there is no incentive to pioneer new fields or pump partially depleted ones. Sec- retary Ickes has concurred in this, However, mueh of the validity would be removed if a flood of Anglo-Persian oil now relieved U. S. resources and Allied needs in the Mediterranean. Meanwhile, sentiment in Congre * and come a burning issue, especially among Southwest Congressmen. The Texas delegation sees red on the question, and about 200 solons have signed a secret agreement that they will up the price of oil by law un- less Judge Vinson does it first However, Judge Vinson, with more than a million railroad employees belligerent over his refusal to grant them a raise of eight cents an hour, tigures that he would have virtual Tevolution on his hands if he let down the bars on oil while holding them up on wages So far he has even resisted the persuasive charm of his old friend colleague, Speaker Sam Ray- burn, for whom he would do almost anything—except increase oil prices. MERRY-GO-ROUND On his 55th birthday, Vice Presi- dent Wallace's office staff staged a birthday part For a present he received a di for 1944, in which to write whatever may happen to Mexico, asked for grated cheese for his spaghetti, but when he learned cheese was rationed, Le returned it. ‘I will eat no foods which are scarce in the United States,” he said.
