H. FAULKNER DISCOUNTS WAR
 SCARE ABROAD
Conditions Appeared Quite Normal When He Was
 in Europe Recently

While the more recent war fur ry abroad has arisen since he left England, there appeared to be a feeling that actual open conflict would not occur immediately, H. l.. Faulkner well-known Juneau attorney, said today after his re- turn early this morning on the steamer Columbia.
 Most of the excitement over the difficulty between Germany and Czechoslovakia has arisen since we left England, and while we were in England and France everything seemed to a casual observer to be quite normal" he said. While a person can perhaps get more in- formation from reading certain newspapers and magazines than he can by individual contact, still we found that the most informed per- sons with whom we were privileged to talk in England and France seemed to be of the opinion that Germany would not provoke a war with the prospect of having Eng land and France against her, to say nothing of Russia. I am still of the opinion there will be no war, although that may be more or less of a guess"
 MT. Faulkner was accompanied home by his son, Malcolm, Mrs Faulkner, who also made the trip to England and the Continent is staying over in the States for a time, visiting relatives and friends in Ohio before returning to Juneau
 Commenting on their trip, MT Faulkner said:
 We crossed to England from Quebec on the Empress of Aus tralia and spent most of our time in and around London, with two weeks in Italy and France and six days in Scotland. I had been in England 36 years ago, having cross ed over from Boston, and most ot the things that 1 remembered from that trip were still as I remembered them.
 We happened to be in Paris during the visit of the King and Queen of England and were there to see for ourselves the reception which has been described as the greatest ever rendered to any liv- ing person.
 We went to Rome for a few days, and then to Venice. Of course it was very hot in Rome ano Venice in July, but nevertheless we greatly enjoyed it.
 After returning to England, we spent six days in Scotland, mostly in Edinburgh, and we found time

FRANCE DID NOTHING

The patchwork quilting of events began on that blustery March ', 1886, when Hitlers' troops marched into the forbidden Rhineland and tore up the Versailles treaty. Ac- cording to natural law, France should have pushed them back But, oddly enough, nothing hap pened.
 Mussolini steamed right under the nose of the British lion guard ing the Suez, and took Ethiopia Nothing happened. except a fig zling League of Nations boycott.
 From then on out, it has been a case of one entangling event after another, with nobody combing hard enough and fast enough to un- tangle the matted skeins of history
 A fellow by the name of Franco started one-horse revolt against the Spanish government. In nc time he had run his stake into a civil war with most of Spain in his power.
 His nationalist army, and the army of the opposing loyalist prov inces, were backed by the war ma chimes, troops and brains of the other armies of Europe-G Germans Italians, Russians, Frenchmen, ever Englishmen.
 Then Hitler took over Austria That, the experts will tell you, was the adventure that jerked Europe's tangled diplomacy into a harc knot.

 By LOUIS JOHNSON
 Assistant Secretary of War

WASHINGTON, Sept. I'm the last fourteen months my duties in the War Department have carried me across every state in the Union and the Territory of Alaska. I have addressed many audiences and dis cussed many matters pertaining to the welfare of our people with citi- zens in all walks of life.
 I found differences of opinion on practically every subject and unani- mity only on one. The American people appear unanimous in de- sire for peace.
 A responsible government, re- sponsive to the will of the Ameri- can people, is striving in every way to realize this universal de- sire of it's citizens. In dealing with neighbors in America and with na- tions across the seas, it practices patience and self-restraint. In the pursuit of governmental policies ii avoids force or the threat of force It observes international agree ments. It encourages trade treaties among all nations. An open hand in friendship, it extends to all peo- pie.
 There is not an inch of territory in any foreign country that we covet. There is not dollar of for eign riches anywhere in the world that we would take without due process of law. In a badly fright ened and greatly harassed world we stand out as symbol of world peace and as an apostle of good will.

RESPECT FOR MAN


 Despite our example and our de- termination to enjoy the blessings of peace, there can be no guarantee that we will never have to take up arms in the defense of our country. History is replete with examples of aggressive nations short on good judgment and long on mad dreams whose avaracious machinations have drawn peace-loving peoples in- to the martial field; and history may repeat itself.
 If holocaust again should sweep our country, we are determined to hold our human losses to a mini mum. We shall stint neither on treasure nor on resources but we shall make every effort to conserve life and reduce the suffering of our men in battle.
 Tn some countries of the world, man is held cheap. Among some peoples human beings are counted in terms of cannon fodder. In the United States, on the other hand we have the utmost respect for hu man life. We in the army feel a responsibility for every soldier in our ranks To save manpower and
