The movement toward a de- fense agreement between the Un- tied States and Canada should have few opponents. It is one thing to weigh and consider, as to sending men and munitions be yond the ocean, but quite anoth- CT to extend reassuring hand to the Dominion, remembering that we may need something more than sympathy in return. Tackling the United States by way of water would tax the re- sources even of a Hitler. A thou sand Nazi tanks in Canada would be just too bad. The boundary line is a frail barrier. It may be crossed as easily as that which surrounds France. In these days, all that invaders have to do is to step on the gas.

MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS

is quoted as asking his fellow legislators whether they are will ing to demand the nations blood and brawn, and let the wealth of the nation go scot free. Upon the other hand, it is pointed out that the Government stands in need of the assurance that the capital of the land be kept ready for use in the making of war equipment, care being taken that there shall be no profteering. The pro per course lies, it is said, in tax ing excess profits, rather than in direct levy upon capital, to the disorganization of industry.

National Guard Enlistment
(Juneau Empire)
Continued from MondayD ,September g, 1940.)

September 3, 1940.)
 No doubt the belief that the Guard would be called out for training has slowed enlistments here. No young man likes to sign up for something which he knows will make him give up all his present opportunities and re- responsibilities for full year. ev- en in the service of his country. With that prospect now cleared away, it is to be hoped the Al aSka Guard will be recruited to it's full strength in short order.
 The Alaska National Guard will prove of great value to the nation in years to come. Alone il could not repel an invasion. But it is equally true that soldiers of the regular Army ordered here hurriedly from the States, could not alone do much better. The Alaska Guard, trained in the north, knowing the Alaska ter rain and climate, can be of tre- mendous service as guiding force and training force for Chee- chaccos.
 The Alaskan man of military age can do his duty to his coun- try and to national defense, as well as to his Territory and com munity, by joining the National Guard now instead of being con- Scripted.

Although the campaign hardly can be said to be under way, the plans of both Democrats and Re- publicans are being worked out carefully. Mir. Willkie has in mind a four thousand mile trip through the Central and Middle West, with a closing speech at Detroit the latter part of Sep tember. The Democrats are not idle. If the remarks of Secretary Ickes may be taken as a sample and omen, the fur will fly before the votes are cast. The ability of Mir. Roosevelt to state his views are known, and MT. Willkie hard ly can be called a pensive and retiring soul. There will be things doing.

Although few Gastineau Channel moviegoers have not had the oppor- tunity as yet to get the benefit Of the new innovation, a new im- provement to aid picture projection, giving increased light and a third dimension effect with better background in picture has been ar ranged for the Capitol Theatre.
 Charles Beale announces that the new Brenkert Senare high-tensity lamp house has been added to both projection machines at the Capitol. rThese lamps" stated Beale, will give more light on the screen, make it easier on the eyes, creating third dimension effect, casting away the shadows and also bring out the background in all scenes.
 Tn other words, the patrons who attend the Capitol henceforth will get pictures thrown on the screen in the most modern and up-to-date manner" said Beale.
 The installation of a new motor generator set, which increases the amperage to-. machines is another addition which adds to the increased lighting effect Patrons are asked to note the better effect the new equipment produces.

 The new film production, based on the best-selling novel by F. G.. Presnen, is not only a fast-moving, suspenseful tale of the upper crust, it is also powerful and articulate indictment of racketeering and po- litical chicanery.
 Pat O'Brien, Edward Arnold, Frederick Crawford and Ruth Ter ry, the new Wanger discovery who is known in Hollywood as little cupcake,' receive top billing in the excellent cast.

Late In 1885 there was a report

OF his death had been spread to
conceal his renewed activity in the
German Gestapo.
He is in the news here again,

Nazi espionage in this country, sup

agents in Mexico in spying and
wrecking enterprises. Secret Service

early years of the World War track
him to the scene of the Black Tom
and Kingsland explosions, and his
activities took clearer outline in the
later explorations of the Mixed
Claims Commission. He has been
placed in the main cast of char

He was IN command of the Ger

bombs secreted in the coal bunkers
of ships. Later he was assigned
work in the manufacture and use of
the latter.
The 20-year claims hearing, which
finally fixed the guilt for the Black
Tom explosion on Germany, picked
up the trail of Hinsch in an intricate
maze of conspiracy and destruction.
Working with Anton Dilger, a bio
| chemist of German parentage. he
established a laboratory at Chevy
Chase for the culture of anthrax and
CHAMBERS germs, with which to in
oculate mules and horses of the
American Army. Handlers and
stable boys, or sometimes handgers-
on around Army camps, were bribed
to do the inoculating.
HinSch was, or is, huge, rudy
man, with blue eyes and yellow hair,
agile and energetic, and said to be a
hard taskmaster aboard ship. Be
fore being assigned to the bomb and
German department at Baltimore
he had done some prowling and
raiding in South America. After his
quick fight to Mexico, with our entry
into the war, his activities in that
country were traced by cablegrams
intercepted and decided by the
United States secret service. His
official dossier is one Of the most
complete of our records.
He returned to Germany after the
war and established a stevedoring
business at Bremerhaven. He was
one of Germany's leading defense
witnesses in the Black Tom hear
ing, and one of the most adroit and
resourceful.

that we can translate high resolves

rapid production of the military
wherewithal to defeat the threat to
free peoples-to create at maximum

to wait until we are fully ready to

remains unbeaten, there rests upon
us the obvious duty In our own in

may, short of belligerency. to help
