Whatever attitude the United
States takes toward he European
war, all patriotic people are agreed
that that attitude must be dictat-
ed only by what seems best for
,the United States.
; Those who seek a more or less
active participation in the war on
the side of the British and French
base their view on the feeling that
if the Germans beat them the world
will be uncomfortable and unsafe
for American democracy.
Those who seek to insure that
the United States take no part in
the war base their view on the
feeling that American democracy
is best served by preserving its
strength and its essence by keep
ing as clear as possible of the whole
thing
Either view sounds selfish. But
what else is justified by the record
of both sides since the World war?

Communication is Need of Alaska Says Cruening

SEATTLE, Dec. 1 (P1 - The pressing need for closer lines of communication by air, land, and water between Alaska and con tinental United States is fore most in the mind of Dr. Gruen- ing as he arrived in Seattle on his way to Juneau. He will sail for the north tomorrow on the s s Yukon and expects to take the oath of office in Juneau Tues day.
 He declared the major needs of the territory at this point is more ships and regular plane service with the United States.
 Gruening said "With European travel curtailed by the war we may expect a rush of Americans to see their own country. That Alaska lacks ships to accomo- date them will likely constitute serious problem. The U s Mari time Commission has alfodAy dis cussed the problem and has good reason to hope that ships may be availabl e for lease, either to ex- isting carriers or others to fill this need. It seems a paradox al though one can fly the Atlantic and the Pacific is spanned by fast clipper ships, still there is no regular air service to Alaska. We want to hasten the day when we can have such a service, as much as possible, because every months delay is a loss to com merce both to the mainland and to the territory"
