Atlantic Stepping-StOnes?
(NeW York Timesl l

(New York Times) )
 Icelands unarmed security singled out by Senator Nye at the recent opening of that countrys pavilion at the Worlds Fair example for larger nations engaged in the worlds mad armament race Icelanders do, indeed occupy happily sola- ed cor ner of the earth, and have developed there civiza ton remarkable for its quality Together with their neighboring Greenlanders they may well have con- sidered themselves until recently, removed from world seemingly intent upon self-destruction the world forgetting, by the world forgot But the ptess wings of the plane have narrowed the vstas of dis tance and today the shadow of the plane darkens Reykjavk, home of the oldest Parliament Of man. Surveys from several nations have investigated the Farce Islands, Iceland and Greenland, all potential stepping stones the Atlantic, and the Ger mans have lately shown remarkable interest in Ice land.
 The southern tip of Iceland is about 725 miles north of the Atlantic steamship lanes and 600 miles from Scotland the little independent nation is about one-third of the way across the Atlantic, and the possession of either Iceland Greenland by any toalitarian state would provide it with potential air and naval base closer to this country than any existing But the strategic importance of these northern lands should not be overemphasized As far their air bases is concerned, it would seem that mass bombing from them against the United States is not possible; distances too great mist and fog and rain cold and storm and make weather conditions generally uncertain and unfavor- able; air base facilities in Iceland Greenland the Faroes would require constant replenishment from Europe by long sea routes AS potential naval base for submarines and small surface craft aided perhaps by few shp-based seaplanes, Iceland has, however greater promise. Her ice-free fords and harbors warmed by the waters of the Gulf Stream, n- vestigated by Germany prior to the World War and have again been studied recently As naval base in the hands of enemy Iceland would offer no direct threat to the United States but would cer- tanly seriously England since submarines or surface raiders operating from that point could raid shipping to certain Scandinavian ports and moreover prey upon shipping lanes across the Western Ocean.
 Thus though there is no immediate strategic threat to the democracies in these subarctic stepping stones, any marked development in these tte-known lands, any change in their political or economic status, will naturally interest world keenly alert to the influence of strategy upon history

 Democracy?
 If the British and French decide to fight it will not be for democracy It will be for empire and their own financial stake in it.
 If there had been any desire to fight for de- mocracy Czechoslovakia still would be nation
 It is well for Americans to keep these cross currents of European politics in mind.
 Georges Bonnet French Foreign Minister, already has invited us to take part in the next war. The invitations will become more pressing as the next crisis mounts.
 But no matter what we do, will not be able to settle the issues of European power politics in 1899 any better than able to settle them 20 years ago.
 Our interests lie in hemisphere. They need tending, badly Especially interests here at home
 While the newest Danzg crisis mounts, let it be warning to us-a warning to keep out.

WPA Finds a Friend
Philadelphia Record)

tPnuadelpnla Rec0rd)
 The Austin St. Association of Forest Hills N Y. a businessmen's organization, is giving dinner in honor of 100 WPA workers who did quick and eff cient job of widening the thoroughfare.
 The spokesman for the businessmen explained:
 "As the project to be done by the WPA the first conjecture of the members of the association and residents that the job would take months and traffic delays and other nconveniences But the work progressed rapidly that merchants and others approached me and asked who the contractor was They did not believe it could be WPA project Those fellows the project just about the finest fellows you Men have to rest sometimes, but I haven't seen man lean on shovel since the project began"
 Efficient work on WPA projects is by no means rare CT unusual
 What is rare is for a businessmen's organization to give WPA the credit due.
 What is still more is for the story to appear as this did, the first page of the Validating Herald Tribune
 We can't imagine how it slipped by the watchfu editor-unless he leaning a blue pencil, star ing vacantly into space.

ITS AN OLD STORY

Hitler Putsch in Danzg Believed Near"
 That reads like headline from yesterdays newspaper. It is from a newspaper of July 6, 1886
 During the three years since that headline was printed Hitler has seized Austria, the sudetenland Czechoslovakia, Memel-leavng the Danzig issue to simmer the flames of European politics.
 year ago there reports that Poland and Germany had reached deal Danzig. But after Hitler seized Memel the split between the Reich and Poland has steadily widened.
 For months Hitler has been using the same tricks in Danzig he used in Austria and Czechoso- vakia: the Modification of Danzig through organiza ton and propaganda smuggling in of German arms and German troops; ceaseless propaganda against Poland; diplomatic moves to keep England and France neutral
 Now comes word that Free Corps" is being ganzed in Danzig just such Free Corps as served Hitler well in Austria and Czechoslovakia Danzig taiors rushing uniforms And in So- vakia, Germany is speeding roads and Notifications along the Polish border.
 No wonder Europe again talks
 War Danzig?
 Many will ask why. Is not Danzig an overwhem- ingly German city? It is Do not its people want tc belong to the Reich? Indications that they do.
 What of Poland?
 It will be asked that if England and France re- fused to fight genuine democracy, Czechoslovakia how they pretend to be fighting for democracy if they do battle for Poland dictatorship?
 The public has not forgotten that at the time of Hiter's Sudeten grab, after the Munich crisis, the Poles marched in and seized large chunk of Czecho- slovaka at Teschen
 Chamberlains pledges to Poland it may be con- tended specific than the British pledges to Czechoslovaka. But they not more specific than were the French pledges to Czechoslovakia and today Hitler himself is reported confident that the British will not go to Poland's aid.
 Amid all Htler's in Danzig, Britain's rulers talk only of appeasement
 So another question arises:
 Suppose that instead of capturing" Danzg, the Danzgers should vote to ask Hitler to take back into the Reich?
 Would Hitler's acceptance, under the British guarantee to Poland be construed as aggression against the Poles?
 What we really come down to is this:
 If does break out in August tor sooner, as the forecasts say) will break either side to fight Danzg but because Europe's rival imperialisms ready for the showdown, or think they
 If war comes ip the near future, it will come to face greater balance of strength in favor of France and England or (b) because England and France have given up all hopes of appeasement and

COMMUNICATION
WHY CHANGE TIME?

To the Editor of The Daily AL aska Empire.-A few weeks ago at the Chamber of Commerce meeting the report of committee was adopted recommending that the question of changing to Seattle time be left to a vote of the people. I supposed then that there would be no further efforts to make the change until the people had a chance to express themselves. 1T believe in democracy and where practical the citizens should have a chance to make their will known However I notice by reports in the local newspapers that interested parties brought up the subject at the City Council meeting last week, and according to the accounts some gross misrepresentation were made. The following are the facts:
 Standard time belts are based on the astronomical or sun time on meridians Is degrees apart, Eastern standard time being based on the 18th meridian, Central time on the 90th meridian, Mountain time on the 105th meridian and Pacific standard time on the 12Oth meridian. Normally the time belt should extend 714 degrees on each side of the standard meridian but this varies to a limited extent. Pa cific standard time, being based on the 120th meridian of west longitude which passes east of the central part of Washington and Oregon and forms part of the western boundary of Nevada, places Seattle well to the west so that it is already about 10 minutes in time ahead of the local sun time.
 The next standard time meridian is the 135th. This passes down Lynn Canal just west of Point Re- treat, which is only few miles west of Juneau. All Southeast AL aska belongs naturally in this time belt. The following table gives the longitude of the towns of Southeast Alaska and the amount of time they are removed from the 135th meridian together with the difference between local sun time and Pacific standard time.
 Compared to Long, 18th Mer PSF

Horoscobe The stars tnclins

THURSDAY. JULY 13. 1899

THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1939 Although this is the thirteenth of the month it is lucky day, ac- cording to astrology. Benefic as- poets rule strongly from morning until night with little adverse in- fluence.
 It is preeminently date for pro- jecting important enterprises and for expanding projects already well started. Many opportunities to gain wealth will be present in the do- main of big business.
 Commerce will be stimulated through coming weeks when the need of strong merchant marine is to be demonstrated convincingly. Trade with the Orient will present new problems.
 This should be a fairly lucky day for women if they do not encroach upon privileges and opportunities long enjoyed by men. Satisfaction will be attained in domestic tasks and household interests.
 Astrologers point out that this is still mans world so far as money making is concerned. Com petition in all the professions will be keener than ever through this year, but in 1940 world events may lessen sex rivalry.
 There is a sign favorable to mild love affairs. Under this sway there may be an inclination for young men to take for granted their abil- ity to win hearts and maintain popularity.
 The planetary government prom ises success to those who rely upon their own talents and training. Il is not an suspicious date for seek ing support from friends and rela- tives in forwarding ambitions.
 The national problem of relief will be more difficult to solve than in the past and now will be accepted as permanent rather than an emergency task.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of steady ad- vancement and growing economic security. Speculation should be avoided.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be of a happy, cheerful disposition and active mind Sub- jects of this sign usually have good Judgment and many develop unusu- ally reliable business sense.

should turn the clocks ahead one hour. If business men wish to have an hour more in which to do busi- ness with Seattle it is a very simple matter for them to open and close one hour earlier, but it is positively not necessary to inconvenience thousands by turning the clocks ahead. It should be no more diff ficult to open the banks at g o. clock and call it that than to call it 10 o'clock There is no reason offices should not open at O. clock, either in summer or the year around as may be preferred
 There is one phase of the ques- tion that should be very seriously considered On our present time school opens in December about sunrise. The busses bringing in school children arrive shortly after dawn. Here the change in time would work gross injustice to the mothers who have to prepare their children for school. The chil- dren would have to be at the SchoolhouSe with the first gray peeks of dawn Every mother who does not wish to be forced to get up on the dark December morn ings an hour earlier than she did last year should send in her vigor- ous protest to the city council.
 Now as to Ketchikan. It is II in suntime earlier than Juneau and in addition is about three degrees in latitude farther south which means that the win ter days are considerably longer. I have not the exact figures before me, but it means that on Decem- Der days the sun rises at Ketchi- kan probably full half-hour be- fore it rises at Juneau. It is bad enough for Ketchikan to change to Pacific time It would be a thousand times worse for Juneau to do so.
