That probably is why Delegate Dmond renewed his request for two million for an Alaska air base the same day the House Appropriations Committee set figure Of s447oooooo for the Army for the coming fiscal year
 The value and actual need for an Army base in the north often has been pointed out and has long sirce reached the point where the Army made an actual study of conditions Alaskan the Fairbanks region-with the ultimate aim of establishing an air base in the Territory While official word has come from Army chiefs it is generally accepted that the Army is satisfied that base in Alaska can be effective and should be established Cold weather flying has been studied by the Army to the point where it can be carried on successfully
 The naval activity in the north, too no doubt has a very definite bearing Army plans With the coastal defenses and bases the Navy has undertaken n Alaska is only natural that the Armys defense plans would be Of similar nature, working together as the two military do toward the common goal of adequate defense
 If the larger appropriations are made by Congress it would not be surprising to see the Army again turning its attention to the north just as the Navy is doing at the present time

Laughter and Democracy
(New York Times

(NeW York Times
 The other day in Washington it was the reporters turn with laughter while the President looked very grim The subject under discussion was the quarrel in the IVA management The loud laughter came when of the correspondents asked II all three IVA directors would be admitted to the Presi- dents room at the time. But MT. Roosevelt looked so stern that the merrment died abruptly.
 One of the most cheerful items on the side of democracy nowadays when democracy needs all the ference between the President and the Washington correspondents. The purpose of such conferences, of course is serious business It is to keep the Presi dent and the nation in touch with each other But the procedure is by uniformly serious There is great deal of laughter Often the President laughs out loud and sometimes the reporters but most often they laugh together. He laughs best who laughs along with the rest of his countrymen.
 Hitler, on the other hand, does not like news paper men He refused to receive Herbert HooVers travelling companion because MT. Hoover's friend is a newspaper publisher. Hitler thinks the world belongs to the strong silent like himself and he has fierce contempt for the scribblers and tabbers To be sure, it not always thus. Hitler did vast amount ot talking in the years between 1920 and his accession to power whereupon he lost time in clamping down the lid on other peoples right to talk.
 But it may be that Hitler dslikes newspaper men because newspaper men laugh They may not laugh cut loud or even smile vsiby, but the very nature cf the newspaper profession is a standing threat against the humorless superman, megalomaniac and stuffed shirt
