LETTER TO THE FAMILY (From a Soldier on Guadalcanal) It is pleasant to hear from you after such a long period of time, but it is unpleasant to learn of your changed conditions of living, which I can more readily understand from the change of my own conditions. It is too bad that you are limited in the use of your automobile. T know how it is to walk through miles and miles of swamp and jungle. So I under- stand. It is too bad to have your choice of food limited. 1 have experienced this, too, except there is no choice here. So I understand It is too bad that Willie has such lmle time for 1 am deprived of amusement, too. So I It is too bad that you have to w:ut in amusement understand. the rain for transportation. I have to wait in the rain on post and my transportation and destination are uncertain, too. So T understand. It is too bad that you are being paid so little for working so hard. I get only a fra s0-1 understand Winning a war is hard on all of us. You work long hours do I. So I understand. But during these hours I get shot at Do you understand! tion of your pay, and so Confusion Again (Cincinnati Enquirer) Perhaps it is merely coincidental, and perhaps unavoidable, but there has been a revival of the un- certainty, doubt and confusion over Selective Service plans since approval of the act reestablishing General Lewis B. Hershey as chief arbiter of the nation's manpower controls, The new act, of course, created many miscon- ceptions. Some regarded it as a flat assurance that pre-Pearl Harbor hets will not be drafted, At best, it will merely delay the induction of those in nondeferrable occupations If we may tender a suggestion to General Hershey, in the kindest of spirits, it is that he refrain as much as possible from public statements and ‘“explana- tions” regarding Selective Service plans and regula- | tions. Once that we know of, since presidential approval of the new act, a statement of his has been th subject of widespread misinterpretatian-—his com- ment on deferment by age groups. General Hershey also has indicated that more inductees may be found in the group now sified as 4-F, which he calls “a rich field.” We fear that he may be creating another misconception here, Men examined for service and classified 4-F are, in instances where there may be improvement in their physical status, reaxmined periodically. The only way in which any considerable number of inductees could be secured from among the ranks of 4-F's, would be to lower the Army and Navy physical standards appreciably. In the long run, this might prove to be an expensive undertaking. More to the point, however, it would be in direct con- tradiction of the Army policy in which all men were reaxamined in recent month, and those not qualified for unlimited service were discharged—after a con- siderable amount of money had been spent for their training. There were at least a million men thus released from the Army. If physical standards are lowered for the induction of more “ten from 4-F, would the greater part of these men be called back into the Army again? It seems to us that we have had changes of policy much too frequently in the Selective Service setup. Perhaps the less talk of more (‘]nn[, . the bette! many j States will !

Cha from THE EMPIRE 20 YEARS AGO JANUARY 1, 1924 The Department of the Interior announced by the advance statement sf the Geological Survey that mines in Alaska produced $20,200,000 worth »f minerals in 1923 as against $19,500,000 in 1922. The total value of | he mineral output of Alaska since 1800 was $518,000,000. ‘Quiet and Dry” was the manner in which the Old Year made its way off the stage to give place to the New Year the previous night. Some :annonading was heard in isolated sectors but thie heavy barrages of {ormer years, the clamor of bells and the noise of fun-seeking crowds on he streets were all lacking in the local celebration The local Elks added another big success in its already long string n its annual Hi-Jinks the previous hight.
