Those who see a constitutional threat in thel convention—a majority of the American Bar Associa- tion unfortunateiy among them—see ghosts. This U. N. agreement would make it a crime in international law for anyone to attempt the extermina- tion of a race c1 a nation, that and not more. It would spell out the horror the world felt at the Nazi attempts to erase the Jews as a people. It would make any such future attempts punishable before international court.

At that dinner, Pawley tock four tables. Cost: $4,000. Pawley, a great friend of Bob Hannegan, made a big killing after the war when he bought surplus planes from the British in China turned round and sold them to the Chinese. Since Pawley made lhl“ deal outside the USA, it was tax; free—so he raked in a handsome | proft. More recently, Pawley has been pulling wires to help the Nationalist Chinese to whom he sold these planes.

Miracle-Man Sonnenberg When Charles Luckman, tre de- posed czar of Lever Brothers’ soap empire, raps the gavel.at the big Democratic dinner tonight, it will be a triumph for a roly-poly little man ith a & -buttoned coat tting in the audience. He is public-relations expert Ben Sonnenberg, who has achieved a public-relations miracle by having two of his proteges chairman the two big Democratic dinners. In fact, it's got so that when the Democrats hold a dinner they ficure on “Men- us by Oscar” and “Chairmen by Sonnenberg.

Ang here is a jigger that cannot be overlooked The Republican Party declares that it would turn over to the United Nations the mobilization of “the Armed Forces of the world against aggression.” Actually, another war can only be between the United States and Soviet Russia. The United Nations can mobilize no armed force that could stop either. The lack of realism in the Re- publican statement is evident 1n§ the fact that although our prineipal| problem in foreign affairs is our| relationship with Soviet Russia, that country is not mentioned even | once in the document, the mosl being offered is that Potsdam and | Yalta produced tragic consequences | which they deplore. | On the domestic side, the Repub- licans are against socialism. They | make a noble statement, like Cal-| vin Coolidge’s story about.! the | preacher who was against sin. The paragraphs on that subject are| well-written and to the point. To| prevent this country from beihg!| engulfed in socialism, the Repub-| licans propose all kinds of measures, | mostly the same as Truman’s. The reason, of course, is that Dewey lost Towa in the last elect- | ion and therefore it is itic#l business to monkey w subsidies. But the farmers the only ones who are being subsi-| dized. Actually, the New Deal hzs pure ! sued a program of fragmentizing| our population and subsidizing the! fragments. Did I mis about subsidizing certain inefficient or obsolescent businesses by means | of the RFC? Did I miss criticism of subsidizing Veteran activities| and worthless educational ar? nat institu- tions? Did I see anything of the stupendous cost and waste of hos-! pital space? In a word, if they sup-| port Harry Truman, why not say' so? Socialism is not a half-way mea- it sure; it is a totality. Wherever has been tried as a half-measure, it has ended in a totality. If, as the Republicans say in this state- ment, they are against socialism, why do they straddle the issue? Finally, the Republicans havel adopted Communist language when | they say: . .We shall continue to spon-' sor legislation to protect the rights of minorities.” There are no minorities in the American way of life. There are only Americans. This is not a coun- try of majorities or minorities; It is a country of individuals who pos- sess inalienable rights under the Constitution of the United States Whoever violates those rights of the individual, vitiates the Con- stitution. That is how it must be considered and acted upon under the American system.

Auto traffic was limited to delivery trucks and machines engaged in clearing the streets . . . shoepacks and boots were needed by pedestrians who would walk dryshod and in comfort.” A shortage of meat caused the steamer Admiral Rogers to make a special” trip to Skagway on her present voyage to the westward. Skagway was dependent on the Queen for cold storage shipments this winter, but meat dealers taking stock found that they would run short before the Queen was due, and arrangements were made to have the Rogers make the extra trip. J. G. Zimmerman, known to his friends as “Tex,” left for Seattle on the Northwestern to enter a sanitorium. He had been ill for months. His son, Chester, accompanied him. John Olson and Pat Brines arrived here on the America First from Hasler Point, near Sumdum, where they had been employed at D. A. Armsted’s mine. Armsted was due to arrive from Seattle on the Alaska, and a large crew of men was to be employed in the work of developing the property. Having decided to devote all his time to his business in Juneau, William Haynes had closed his Douglas shop altogether. Y. Shitanda, owner of the building where the shop was located, was endeavoring to secure another barber to take over the shop. Mrs. Hugh Cochrane of Douglas received a bad burn on the leg when a tea-kettle of water was accidentally spilled on her. She was attended by Mrs. Dick McCormick, Jr., and, later, by Mrs. Gertrude Laughlin. Two mountain goats, a billy and his mate, were aboard the North- western for the Washington State Game Commission at Seattle. They were being given the Washington authorities in return for elk supplied to the Alaska Game Commission for experimental purposes in the Territory. Including these two, the Commission had delivered six mountain goats to Washington. Under the agreement, two more goats were to be delivered later. Weather: High, 26; low, 26; snow.

Tt certanily is, to both questions. Q. If one has owed a letter to a friend for some time, it is proper to make apologies for one’s tardiness when the letter is finally written? A. It is much better to make that tardy letter entertaining rather than to weigh it down with the burden of apologies. Q. Is it proper to invite friends or relatives who are in mourning to a wedding? A.
