Juneau, in the same boat as other Alaska ports, but much more so, has had to face strike after strike for just about a year. Business condi- tions have suffered to a considerable extent. Losses of most Juneau business houses dependent upon a steady supply of goods from the States run into thousands. And the sad thing is that the future offers nothing better. The most serious problem Alaskans face in water transportation is the strike. When the longshoremen aren’t out in the States they are out on strike here or in Ketchikan. In either case Alaskans have their freight cut off completely and Alaska is isolated except for air service. The Alaskan public's interest in water transportation is so direct and positive that such strikes inconvenience seriously every person in Alaska. The public interest should be protected by legislation which would prohibit strikes in our water transportation and provide for compulsory arbitration to settle all disputes which arise confer @ favor if they will promptly notity | 1941, the and Navy, November 28, War AUGUST 3 Etolin T.

Among other things he has learned that a well-informed public is his best ally when it comes to writing the peace and that he can’t get a well-informed public without a well-informed pres Jimmy came around to' point of view several weeks ago when he established an official “leak” polic}. Having discovered that the Russians were “leaking” to the press, the Honorable Mr. Byrnes decided to outleak the Russians. To this end, his aides started holding amazingly frank press conferences. Almost nothing was heid back. A play-by-play ac- count of all secret sessions was given to newsmen. Naturally, the Russians heard about this but Mr. Byrnes didn’t seem to care much if they did. He was convinced his treaty policy was right and he wasn't afraid to have the world know about it. The climax came this week when the U. S.

The real fact is that the Jus- tice Department has a large dos- sier of evidence on various Ameri- cans who were used by the Nazis, including not only Wheeler but ‘John L. Lewis. Though Wheeler is { benefit of the doubt and prob- ably didn't know he was being made a Nazi tool, his intervention on behalf of Nazi agent George Sylvester Viereck certainly puts him in a class by himself.
