From Ciano’s pages there emerges not only the portrait of a leader, but some illuminating comment on the frame of mind of his people. If one thing is clear from this record it is that while Mussolini (intermittently) wanted war, the Italian people want- |ed peace. Ciano found the TItalians “listless and unenthusiastic” about making war on their neighbors; Mussolini called them “a race of sheep”; people with [the “instints of vegetables.” When it became clear that Italy was destined to avoid entering the war on | Germany's side in 1939, Mussolini somewhat scorned | his own neutrality; Ciano notes: “The Italian people, | however, are entirely happy.” ALASKA FISHERIES The Fish and Wildlife Service of the Department of Interior has recently published a booklet on the fishery «resources of the United States and its posses- sions.

BUSINESS AFFAIRS Next month will bring severe tests to employers who must distinguish | between the claims of women who| have worked efficiently and men! who have returned from overseas service. The stars seem to presage the retention of a majority of the women, largely because veterans do| not desire to resume old tasks.

B Mayor James J. Connors issued a proclamation declaring the coming week to be “Rat Killing Week” and urged cooperation by everyone in the campaign to be carried on by the two experts, Miss Anna May Wright and Miss Helen A. Caldwell. Commissioner of Health Dr. Henry C. DeVighne added his endorsement to the project. b Preparations for the reception and entertainment of the teachers attending the Alaska Teachers Institute to be held here in September were progressing satisfactorily. Included on various committees were R. E. Robertson, M. S. Whittier, W. S. Pullen, H. I. Lucas, B. D. Stewart, J. J. Connors, Robert Simpson, Charles Goldstein and Harry Sperling. The Prince Rupert arrived in port the night before, with four pas- sengers for Juneau and 111 tourists, 99 of whom were making the round trip to Skagway. The steamer Princess Alice was in port early in the morning from Skagway, enroute south, with all passenger space taken. Among teachers listed for the coming school term, to open September 8, were Miss Lois Cook, Miss Mildred Abrahamson, Miss V. Brougette sense in straightening out domesuc,and Mrs. Iva Tilden. Roy, Lyle, former Washington State Prohibition Chief, was the newly appointed Federal Prohibition Administrator for the Pacific North- west, including Alaska.
