NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. TO JESSEN'S WEAKLY he “staidly conservative Daily Alaska Empire” has conie under fire of the editorial guns of the all- out-for-Bartlett weekly paper in Fairbanks. We are accused of misquoting Bartlett, jan ac- cusation which is entirely false. Bartlett, in opening his campaign in Wrangell, failed to mention anything for the record on a referendum on statehood—or else the Wrangell Sen- tinel blew so much smoke on the deal that it obscured this. However, the report was so comprehensive, we do not believe this was the case. When Bartlett had been in the Fourth Division long enough to test the wind, he then trimmed his sails accordingly and came out strongly for a refer- endum on statehood. He also removed the words -“For Statehood for Alaska” from his advertisement in the weekly, an indication that he had recognized his mistake. Bart- lett jumped so fast to grab the statehood issue that he completely forgot the people in his opening cam- paign in the First Division, but he has picked them up again in Fairbanks, only slightly bruised. Both Henry Roden and A. H. Ziegler came out for the referendum and have not changed their view since. Says our critic: “... (Bartlett) was first to publicly announce his position which has not changed since his Wrangell address in February That is false. Anyone who wishes to read the Wrangell Sentinel's statehood edition of February, and the Fairbanks weekly's story of March 10 can see this for himself. Before charges of misquoting are tossed out, it is well to investigate the facts, pan and Babe Ruth (New York Times) Japanese soldiers attempting to storm the lines held by United States Marines on Cape Gloucester, New Britain, charged to their death with the battle cry, “To hell with Babe Ruth!” on their lips. Prob- ably most of us have forgotten, even if we were ever aware of, what lay behind that strange battle cry. Almost nine years to the day before the Cape Gloucester episode one of those fiery Japanese fan- atics who have kept the world in turmoil by assassi- nating every Japanese leader who sought friendly relations with other countries plunged a dagger into the vitals of Matsutaro Shoriki, publisher of the Yomiuri Shimbun, Tokyo's 'third largest newspapcr.' Mr. Shoriki’s erime had consisted of sponsoring the barnstorming tour of a team of American baseball players, headed by Babe Ruth. The assailant was one Katsuka Nagasaki, a member of the Warlike Gods Society, with a police record of having indulged in several previous violent acts on the ground of patriotism. Nagasaki, taking the existing depression in Japan as an excuse, pleaded that the fees and bonuses paid to the American ball players had caused money to leave the country. He also accused Mr.| Shoriki of other “unpatriotic acts” and connection with “political scandals.” That was the stereotyped defense of all political assassins in Japan whenever the secret societies deem- ed it necessary to remove some figure from public life. | The real motive in Nagasaki's case undoubtedly was the fact that the tour showd Americans to be human beings, albeit white instead of yellow, and that Babe Ruth's exploits with the bat elevated him to the rank of a hero—a status reserved in Japan only for the doughty warriors of the samurai class. On February | 22, 1935, when Mr. Shiroki was stabbed, societies, functioning for the army, were busily en- | gaged in stirring anti-American feeling. Since Pearl Harbor much has been said about the the secret | Black Dragon Society, which functioned at home an abroad to further the aims of the Japanese militarists. | But the Black Dragon was only one, althought a pow- | erful one, of scores of similar groups that have be- | deviled the Isalnd Empire almost since the days of | Commedore Perry’s visit in 1853. They bludgeuncdq dynamited and shot every Japanese statesman who | stodd in the way of the army and navy's determination to conquer at least Asia if not the world. ‘When the peace treaty with Japan is signed it will be well for our envoys to remember “To hell with | Babe Ruth!” and not overlook ‘the vital importance | of bringing about the elimination of the samurai, the Black Dragon, the Warlike Gods and the other secret societies in that country. | Prosperity is to continue through |the year jd [cans are to learn much-needed les- | propensities. llshmulol [ oma. cam » Memy- Go-Round (Continuea 1:0m Page One) from widows.

HEART AND HOME: Churches should be well attended today. Growth of interest in exploration of the occult may alarm many orthodox religionists but the stars presage a sane acceptance of many phenomena 'ndicating survival of personality after physical death. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Taurus, the money house for Aries, seems to foretell continued earning power for subjects of the sign of the Ram. but there will be many shortages of articles in general de- mand. Through rationing Ameri- ons in thrift, NATIONAL ISSUES: Transpor- tation will occupy attention in a big way this month when nallwnys will need repairs, extensions andJ new rolling stock. Again the public will be forced to curb ils wandering When voluntary self- denial is not sufficient, ironbound restrictions will prevent Summer recreation travel. { INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Japan will be defeated by way of | China after United Nations ‘have| réclaimed the vast regions occupied by the enemy. Tokyo and other cities of the island empire will be| which months. Persons whose birthdate it is have may be delayed many" luck. Financial conditions should be fortunate. Children born on this day prob- will possess well-balanced Suc- cess in artistic careers is indicated. MONDAY, APRIL 10 After the early morning adverse planetary aspects are dominant to- | day. The date is tavorable to con- | structive ideas. HEART AND HOME: Women should be cautious, avoiding all de-, structive thinking, for the inclina-| apprehension and backward with| regret. It is a date on which con- tracts should not be signed or let- ters written. Routine duties should | be followed cheerfully. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Excite- | ment in stock market and financial circles is indicated with a boom for speculation. The month should be profitable for selling. Many frauds| and dishonest deals are forecast Again the confidence man will flourish in big cities. Theatres will prosper, also night clubs. NATIONAL ISSUES: Education| comes under evil portents through the' spring when hundreds of col- | lege boys must practice the art of | warfare at the time they should bo‘ scholastic honors. The | great problem of the future will be connected with the restoration of the American academic stand- ards of learning. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS :| Russia continues 'under the most | promising aspects Which seem tol presage ' tremendous power over! Europe. There is a sign of evil omen since it may indicate post- | war trouble for Russia with Br ll.un; in which Japan is involved. | Persons whose birthdate it is haye the' augury of a year of average good fortufie. It will be wise to guard agaiust deception and there| may be disappointments in Iove affairs. | Children born on this day prob- ably ‘will be ambitious and gifted. Proper choice of a profession or a career is imperative to these Aries folk.
