"Paul's as good as I ever looked at

Paying for Our Safety
Cincinnati Enquirer)

(Clnclnnat Enqurer)
 Not only American shipowners but many porers and many foreign merchants and manufac- tureters are being compelled to make sacrifices for the preservation of Americas neutrality It is worth noting that country, Ireland, has lodged a formal diplomatic protest against her inclusion in the combat which American flag ships may not enter
 Ireland depended to some extent American flag ships in her considerable trade with the United States. Those ships have had to abandon sailings Ireland as well to Great Britain under the new law and regulations pursuant to the law The re- suit is awkward for Irish foreign trade.
 Belgium has been restrained in her policy, but has suggested informally that some American ships which normally call at Belgian ports should now be transferred to Belgian registry so they can resume their normal service. Holland probably is not seriously hit, since she has an enormous merchant marine of her own.
 The Scandinavian countries more fortunate, since they made their protests in advance and were rewarded by definition of combat which leaves Norwegian ports open American ships. Sweden can easily move goods across Norway and continue a normal trade with America
 American policy is very different from that of the small European neutrals for the simple reason that foreign trade is a small fraction of the total whereas Belgium and the Scandinavian states do an immense foreign business. It is the very breath of life for them, and it must go on no war They assume the risks and losses of neu- tral trade because they afford to keep their ships at home.
 There is no reason why we should be guided by their needs, of But it is just well for Americans to realize that the restraints have i'm posed on our own vessels are serious handicap to a number of our good customers in Europe It is hard to understand why they might feel We have weakened the position of all neutrals in de- cision to abandon our rights under international law to trade freely with all fellow neutrals.

Does He Mean It?
Cleveland Plain Dealerl

Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 For the fourth or fifth time since the completion of the blitzkrieg against Poland German spokesmen Britain and France that real war" is about to begin and that this time they mean it.
 Yet once again these strong words are accom- panied. by weak negative actonI Ten days ago the Germans apparently ready to roll over Holland and Belgium The sudden midnight conference be- tween the rulers of Belgium and The Netherlands in dicated how keenly this danger realized in the low countries. It is secret that Paris and London fully as alarmed as The Hague and Brussels
 But the blow did not fall Even after the bomb in the Munich beer hall might have been used as a prod to NaZi zeal for real war there no decisive action.
 The Dutch and Belgans are showing themselves as pucky the Films. The diplomacy of threat which worked so well against Austria and Czechoslovakia is backfirng The ability of the Dutch to flood ter ritory in front of invaders and their resolution to go through with such heroic defense measures are, of course factors in the situation But the importance of flooded lowands is easily overestimated. It is bar rer against air attack Yet Hitler is not yet willing to move by air upon the low countries.
 All these false alarms have been watched with particular interest in Italy Rome dispatch reports that the indecision of the Germans the Dutch border is interpreted by Italys diplomats a sign of a desperate German military situation. Some Italian observers are predicting that Hitler cannot last year.
 Now the German threats turned seaward once more Submarine warfare is to be even more unrestricted This may be seen an answer to Churchills defiant speech of few days ago But does Berlin really it? Or will action more limp far behind verbal belligerency?

MOUSE VS. LION

Obviously, there will never be peace in Europe, and for that matter in the world until way has been found to prevent the Czechoslovakias and the Finlands from terrorizing and threatening the ex- istence of the Germanys and the Soviet Russias.
 It is really appalling how nation of 10000o00 Czechs will set out deliberately to encirce nation of 800O0000 Germans, in Central Europe last year and a nation of 100000 people will try to enmesh nation of 17o0oO0o0 people with Fin land and Soviet Russia today.
 Last year Czechoslovakta was a dagger aimed at the heart of Germany and had to be destroyed. Now we see Russia bringing her terrific warpower to bear Finland because the little nation, according to Moscow, was plotting to extend it's sway to the Ural Mountains Perhaps if the Finnish people had stood at arms length just touching each others fingers there might have been enough Films to do the trick. Today however, after five days of Rus sian attack there are too few Films

FOR A MORE PROSPEROUS JUNEAU

Launching by the Retail Merchants Association of a shop at home" campaign comes opportunely at the beginning of the Christmas buying season. Not that the idea of shop at home" isn't appropri- ate at all times. It is. Upon the volume of local purchasing depends in large part the prosperity of everyone in Juneau including yourself
 Through weekly advertisements listing unusual bargains, the progressive merchants of Juneau are presenting in a way everyone understand, the story of the advantages of shopping at home, where you are certain of receiving quality merchandise, where you see and sample what you are get ting and where the price is fair.
 The Association is bringing merchants and busi- ness houses of Juneau into closer league of CO., operation and serving the needs of the public by mpressing upon shoppers the local firms under standing of the wants of Juneau patrons.
 The shop at home campaign deserves the support of every family in Juneau. Look for the Juneau merchants cooperative advertisement in the Empire again this week and in the meantime give your nsighbor sapd yourself a break by patronizng local stores.

 Benefic aspects dominate today and should be stimulating to many activities.

There is a sign helpful to dictators today Women should be | especially cautious, in what they. do and say, under this rule of the stars.
 Heart and Home: Family dissen- sions may be easily precipitated un- der this sway, which encourages jealousy and envy, misjudgment and deceit. Young folk may make un- reasonable demands upon their par ents because of a great temptation toward extravaganza. s stud en s should avoid obligations that are difficult to meet.
 Business Affairs: This is a lucky day for buying and selling, and en- courages expansion and employ ment. It is a favorable time for sign ing contrcats or agreements that offer opportunities in the new year. It is not a day however to launcn any new projects. even though the necessary financial support is avail able. Unexpected developments in she new year will change seeming ly stable conditions.
 National Issues: People may be- come more conscious, as the month advances and friendly over lures from foreign nations increase in number Government spending will be attacked in both houses of Congress.

ton by being largely instrumental in the defeat of General Chang Hsun, who sought to restore the old Chinese monarchy. Wu com- manded the western flank of the republics forces, a position which gave full play to his talents as a strategist. He came out of the campaign full-fledged general.
 Then Canton, under the late Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, father of the repub- lie, began to menace the vaulting ambitions of Yuan Shih-Kai. Wu was picked to crush the movement and was given command of all the orces sent south in the campaign But he turned pacifist and stopped the Cantonese by negotiating a truce.
 Civil Warfare Lulls
 This resulted in the 1919 peace conference and brought a lull in the civil warfare In the interval Wu was named. Commissioner for ChihH Shantung and Honan prov inces in 1920 and year later Hum an and Hupeh were added to his control He was named a Marshal in 1923.
 When Yuan Shih-Kai died and the presidency fell to the lot of TSao Kun, the Canton national tsts resumed their move for power. But Wu retained control of his five provinces and also command of the third division of the Picking army one of the most efficient forces in China.
 Double Crossed
 This force became embroiled with Chang Tso-Lin. late warlord of Manchuria, in 1924 Wu was waging successful campaign un- til Feng u-H fang, China's Christian general and one of Wu's trusted subordinates, went over to the enemy. Although Wu was beaten by this development, he reorganized his army and later joined Chang in defeating Feng,
