In point of fact, the British Foreign Office and our own Department of State have seen eye to eve in the matter and have been jointly responsible for the policy pursued. It was justified until the present time local news published NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Bidg., Seattle, Wash. by sound strategic considerations. But ihe situation has radically changed. We are not now endeavoring to strangle Nazi Germany by blockade but to crush her from the air and through the might of our encircling armies. ‘There remains a risk, to be sure, that the Germans will take for their own use the food we send to their victims. We shall have to run that risk and end the shipments if it materializes, though the danger vroved unfounded in the case of Greece. As things stand now, it is our friends in Europe, not our enemies, who are being starved. The hunger dured will not wait for freedom.

[ Inside fact is that the President had not planned to take over the railroads on December 27. He was going to wait until December 28 or 29, just before the strike dead- | line. 'There was also very definite information that all the unions would call off the strike threat at the last minute However, the President decided to act drastically and one day earlier for this reason: its effect on the striking steel workers, on other labor, on Congress and on the country generally. He himself was getting tired of strike threats and he had informa- tion thatsthe country was tired too. The country was getting the im- pression that he was being run by labor, and he decided that this was a good chance to prove the con- trary. General Somervell had been ol dered a few days before to draw up plans for taking over the rail- roads. He and his staff spent 96 hours on it, produced a thick book of plans a little earlier than ex- pected. So the President moved in. THE “HOPKINS LETTER” The Justice Department has un- earthed all sorts of w to punish the forger of the “Harry Hopkins letter” to Umphrey Lee, president of the Southern Methodist Univer- sity, predicting Willkie would get the Republican Presidential nom- ination—if it w; a forgery There is a five-year imprisonment for theft of Government property, including the theft of White House stationery. There is also a penalty for using a facsimile of Government seals and stationery; also a penalty for engraving a personal supply of White House stationery with the| intention of using it fraudently. | Furthermore, it is more and more | evident that Harry Hopkins wants a thorough investigation—even of the typing of the letter he is sup- | & posed to have written to the Texas | university president Typewriter | identification is an exact science. There is no guesswork about xl.l And if the letter was written on any | typewriter in Hopkins' office, this| can be ascertained definitely There seems no doubt from Hop- | kins' talks with the FBI that he| never saw the letter before. Only! trouble now is that book author| Nelson Sparks, who first referred to the letter in his book, “Oné Man— Wendell Willkie,” now is getting| cold feet and sdys he won't produce | it 'without a legal summons. ! NOTE—Several months ago this| column was offered the “Hopkins: letter,” but refused to publish it in| the belief that not even Hopkins,| naive as he may be politieally, would write such a letter on White | House stationery. The suggestion | that ‘Hopkins was also trying to! promote a candidate against Sen- | ator Tom Connally three years be- fore an'election seemed absurd. | PRIORITIES SAVE CONDEMNED MAN Private Joseph McAvoy of Brook- lyn, sentenced to die for killing a without ately financed relief organizations Nebraska would never see the New Year, he pair Nebraska’s electric chair.

What concerns us is that a huge new oil field has been discovered in our country According to Mr. Patterson, the U. S. Under- | Secretary of War, the Fort Norman oil field can produce 20,000 barrels a day. In the same area, he says, a pool of 100,000,000 barrels has been discovered. In a country which imports most of its oil, this is an economic fact of first-rate importance. Canada’s problem is not to rule on the wisdom of the U. S. | Army in building an expensive pipe line from the oil fields to Whitehorse. oil field is developed fully in the post-war period, by the most economic means. We have here a major national asset, evidently capable of great expansion and under the control of the government.
