letter from Chicago New York or Boston outlining some new plan for keeping out of the
 One asks support for a House concurrent resolu- ton by Rep Jerry Voorhis of California who plans that the President of the United States hereby be memoriazed to take without delay the steps to prepare plan for the calling of world convention which shall draw up constitution for an al-inclusive, democratic nonmilitary federation of nations"
 This resembles the Union Now" scheme advanced in the last few months of peacetime and now gaining considerable attention This plan would unite Is democratic nations for starter, into super nation with parliament army and navy and invite the rest of the world in as the separate nations would come up to a satisfactory democratic standard. A New York advertising man wants every news paper to print on it's front page every day notice reading News from warning countries is subject to censorship It may sometimes be misleading. It is the right and duty of every American citizen to do his own thinking hold to his beliefs and not per- init himself or his country to become victim of emo tionalsm or propaganda"
 The author of this statement admirable as far as it goes writes Tt to that if the newspapers of the country were to see fit to print each day on Page message that could reflect the present att- of the majority of people as this message con-
 nued to be printed unchanged then, in spite of un- toward developments, the attitude of readers might remain it is today"
 All of which seems to illustrate that there is in the nation today strong will to keep the United States at peace Many are groping for the way and someone should find it. It is a good thing we are thinking seriously of the future of the world and our own nation.

IN THE CAMP OF THE ENEMY

Yesterday the Juneau Chamber of Commerce had as it's guest young man with whom the Chamber only year ago was crossing swords because his ati- tude toward the development of Alaska was as far as the poles apart from that of the Chamber
 Last week the Chamber members at their luncheon listened to a young woman who advocates cooniza- ton plan which the Chamber has criticized severely and taken the trouble to attack in printed pamphlet
 Both speakers were received in amity and good fellowship They listened to with close attention
 It couldn't happen in Europe, Probably it wouldn't happen in just this way anywhere but in Alaska.
 Hearing the other side is a good thing for the soul as well as for the understanding Most of us could learn good deal from Herbert Hilscher and Charlotte Schnee A dssenter is entitled to much of hearing as with whom we happen to agree maybe more For need to understand the other side in order to amend correct and strengthen oul own opinions.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER "A


 Adverse aspects rule today which is not especially important in plane tary direction. In the early hours there may be disinclination to face facts. especially where ones faults are concerned. The sway is not aus picious for bankers or merchants. Heart and Home: While this con- figuration prevails there may be a tendency toward deceit and double | dealing. Treachery is indicated among persons who have social ann bitions. Philanthropic organizations will afford women an opportunity to attain prominence. Girls will do well to train for serious professions that contribute to human welfare.
 Business Affairs: Government regulations may become irksome to small business men. Banks will ex- , ercise caution in granting loans for new enterprises. Girls will benefit by training for occupations usually pursued by young men. Demand fol nurses. automobile mechanics, tele- graph and radio operators Will De great in coming months.
 National Issues: Imitation will arouse wide discussion as financial problems become pressing, In many states the relief situation will pre- sent menacing aspects to govern ment circles. Prohibition again will be presented as a national problem The conservation of national re- sources will receive widespread at tention through the coming winter Public officials will be praised and blamed, according to varying points lof views.
 International Affairs: The toll of war will become more serious in its effect upon the people of the United States. Gradually it will become ap- parent that the greatest of republics must interfere in salvaging civiliza- tion. Despite isolation propaganda It may be necessary to make contribu- tions of men as well as money and supplies to the armies that are fight ing for democracy. itii! Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of prosperity But the temptation to spend money should be overcome, if it tends to- ward extravaganza. Young folks should practice thrift
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be ambitious and enterpris- ing. The Martians tend to lead in whatever they undertake and few may become overbearing in theil methods.

MULES

As a picture in miniature of what is happening to business under the pressure of the we cite the mule industry which centers around Columbus Tenn
 First there reports that many mules would be bought by the beligerents for war use Breeders therefore refused to send their animals to market, waiting for price advances As a result receipts at the selling points dropped two-thirds.
 The expected buyers did not show up and the effect on the trade is described disastrous It seems the mule is not particularly needed by todays motorized armies little point the dealers ignored
 After this first confusion, small foreign buying developed but it is begging down on the moot question of whether mule is an instrument of war The dealers are uncertain and have no official ruling On that rather surrealist note we take our leave of the industry until the next development comes along

by the exhibits of newspaper &C
complishments in the field of local
public service In a large number
of communities throughout the
country the newspapers have ex-
posed political corruption and
helped to raise community stand
ards of honesty and integrity.
LAS these are essential factors
of American political institutions,
the press of the United States is
performing an important public
service as the expositor of local
government.
The accurate and complete
daily reports of foreign affairs
and of local affairs reflected in
this years exhibits are so out
standing that we consider it a
public duty and a professional OBJ
legation to direct attention to
these achievements of a free press,
especially at time when critics
of American institutions are ex-
plotting minor faults and ignoring
their constructive services"
