MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED #RESS The Assoctated Press s exclusively entitled to the use for lication of all news dispatches credited to it or not other- redited in this paper and also the local news published NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 Pourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. ral woeks ago we printed one of those straws- -wind editorials which told about how the under- firm of Lloyds of London had fixed the odds to one against the outbreak of a general European war before September, 1951, says the Cin- cinnati Enquirer. Now, it may be of some interest that the Bookmakers' Protective Association in Britain, not to be outdone has decided that 1,000 to one is fair odds against the eventuality. And a certain Sid ales, a long-time member of the asso- ciation, believes that 500 to one is fair odds against a world war in 1952. He added that when bookmakers offered odds like that against anything, one could ke sure that it would not happen. It might be enlightening to know upon what these to note statesmen and military experts all over have been adopting the mosy Laarish of attitudes about the out- break of the next war. But here these British bookies, who apparently do not know anything about anything | except horses, aie offering terrific odds that war will | not come in 1951 cr 1952. Rum world, isn't 1t? Alaska and U. S. Defense (Fairbanks News-Miner) A Senate subcommittee which investigated Alaska defense had both good and bad news for Alaskans. The commitee stated that certain portions of the Territory, including the Seward Peninsula, probably could not be succesfully defended in the event of an all-out Soviet attack. But “vital” areas could be held. The Senators pointed to the need for addi- tional Alaska defense installations, and military per- sonnel. They also made recommendations regarding maintenance of the Alaska Railroad, and improving port and highway facilities. If the United States follows the recommendations of this committee, Alaska’s position will be made more secure, and, we might add, so will the position of the entire North American continent. If an enemy nation were to get a foothold on Alaska, the bombs that fell in Nome might only be a prelude to the bombs that would be falling in Seattle, Chicago and Washington. In this age of long-range aireraft, neither the United States, nor Canada, can afford 'to let an aggressor gain a foothold on this continent. Bases in | Alaska are within easy bomber range of Canadian and United States population centers. Alaskans are in an exposed position, in the present state of world temsion. But their position is hardly more critical than that of residents of the United States, for if Alaska falls, no area of America could be considered safe. The present pattern of world tension has made Alaska a highly strategic area, lying directly astride the shortest route between the United States and its poteittial enemies. It is to be hoped that Congress will listen to this Senate subcommittee, and prepare well 'n advance every inch of Alaska soil against any to defend aggressor. China has had civilization longer than any other | nation in existence today, and it would seem that she is growing tired of it. — A radio commentator wants an artist to draw a | modern Uncle Sam.

Marshal Albert White for the lgift of a radio receiver he had made for their benefit. The Marshal made the gift in the belief it would raise the morale and lessen possible serious problems among the jail inmates. Concerts were heard twice a day over the radio. A bill increasing the Alaska Governor’s salary from $7,000 to $10,000 a year and the salary of the Secretary of Alaska from $4,500 to $5,600 was before President Hoover for his signature, having passed both the House and the Senate. Under executive regulations issued this week in Washington, all Federal employees except field men of the Interior Department, were put on a 44-hour weekly basis. The reduction hours gave Government employees here, and eisewhere, except the Department of Interior men, a half-holiday on Saturdays. President Stewart of the Federal Em- ployees Union, said an effort would be made at once to extend the new order to those employees of the Interior Department outside the national capital.
