Gen. Buckner’s proclamation relating to travel regulations put into effect December 1 shows that our readers were bagly misinformed on November 17 when we printed a story from the Alaskan Department. This story mislead you to believe that after December alized. The joker was in the last paragraph which menticned that civilians entering or departing from Alaska would “still be required to register.” The only liberalization as far as we can see from reading the text of the new proclamation is that per- sons traveling within a specific secure travel permits. Before this it was necessary | if travel was taken on a plane or vessel that touched ports or fields outside of Alaska, even if travel was only from one Alaskan port to another. Of course, however, any person could then travel from one Alaskan port to another without a permit by choosing for transportation a plane or ship that served only in Alaska, Under the new rulés, a person living in Juneau and wishing to take a trip to the States, or a person living in Seattle who wishes to come to Juneau, still must go through the red tape of obtaining a travel fiermx( as far as we can see from the plo(lumalmn Few re: 'm | ew people realiz |lights or a dripping | waste of coal or fuel oil.

The story also said that travel from” or into zZone A, practically all of Alaska except the Alaska Peninsula and the Aleutians, would be virtually with- out restriction. However, the proclamation states that this may be done only by securing a permit sworn to by the applicant and 'or on such “terms and conditions as the said Commanding General deems appropriate.” That could mean nothing or everything. any rate, it is apparent that our travel still is very much under regulation and that there has been little liberalization. However, we now have our street lights on the dark winter nights, and that’s something. A Word from Eisenhower (Cincinnati Enguirer) General de Gaulle has made it apparent, ever since the invasion of North Africa began, that he believes himself alone qualified to act as political leader ®f the French people, and that he hopes when France is reclaimed to administer political reorganiza- tion there. His recent vietory in the French Com- which he won, is another step in that direction. But the action of General Eisenhower in Italy, where the program for control of conqguered nations is being whipped into permanent shape, should not be particularly encouraging to de Gaulle’s aspirations. It is to be presumed that Italy is serving now as a proving ground for tactics which will be followed in the administration of other reconquered European countries. The Eisenhower announcecent, then, can be looked upon as indicating the plan which probably will be made effective in France in the distant future. General Eisenhower has made it clear that the Allied Military Government, which now contrels South Italy and Sic gradually | Italian administration. placed under full Italian control. He has appointed |a committee which will see to it that the district is governed according to terms of the armistice, and will work to fit the Italian economy into the Allied military program This move should show General de Gaulle that the Allied nations do not plan to turn over to him —or to any other French leader—full control of France until the time is ready for such action, So long as military necessity demands, the administra- tion will remain in the hands of Allied military leaders.
