press Route 10 Be Con-

The following announcement was
made at the Seattle offices OF
Pan American Always System yes

Associated Press dispatch to the
Empire yesterday:
In response to requests from the
Government and civic organiza-
tons in the Territory of Alaska, as
well as from business organizations
and shippers on the Pacific Coast,
Pan American Always are max
ing preparations to extend the
present provisional service between
Seattle and Juneau, originally
scheduled to be discontinued on
October Is, on through the winter
months.
The present service, operated by
the four-engined Alaska Clipper
flying boat, was instituted last June
to provide air mail, passenger SEW
ice and shipping facilities to and
from the Territory for the summer
months only. The company's plan
for the operation of high speed

directly to Juneau and Fairbanks,
in the interior of the Territory, is
dependent upon the completion OF
the Airport Construction Program
in Alaska, which will provide the
necessary terminal facilities for
this large high-speed equipment.
Capacity Traffic
Provision of current JWice-Weekly
schedules between Seattle, Ketchl-
kan and Juneau resulted in prac-
tically capacity traffic from the out
set While normally travel during
the summer months is heavier than
at any other time OF the year over
this route, the seven-hour sched-
ules available twice each week,
have proved of tremendous benc-
fit, particularly to shippers and
users of mail between abe States
and the Territory, which has here
tofore been entirely dependent upon
four-day steamer service. The con-
tinuation of service through the
winter months was considered par
ticularly important in the Terri
tory and by Federal Government
officials in view of the widespread
activity in the Territory in con-
nection with the National Defense
Program. 4G
Present Service Continues
While previous studies made by
Pan American Always determined
that the conditions of sea-weather

The Draft Bill

Congress- must soon take its stand for or
= eainst ~selective service. If the defense pro-
gram is to be carried to its logical conclus-
ion men capable of manning the additional
ships and army equipment provided for in re-
cent LEGISLATION must be available when need
ed.
The bill approved by the house military COM
mittee calls for registration Of 42,00O,OOO men.
From these 1900, 600 would be drafted for a
wears service in the first year. Heads OF
families would be placed on deferred lists.
For the initial draft, starting next October l.,
onlv men between 81 and 80 would be called.
Later calls would include men between Il ana
IS. These would be trained for actual COMBAT
service. For the immediate future men ABOVE
45 would be classified according to their ex-
perience and capabilities for
service.
Led by Senator Vandenberg a group OF sena-
tors will probably oppose the measure. hold
ing that there is nothing in the present con-
dition of the war in Europe to justify calling
the nations young men from their customary
pursuits for military training. This is some
thing like the attitude in France and England
during the early stages Of the war, when he
London government hoped to win with
a pamphlet campaign and France rested be-
hind the Maginot line. Neither nation realized
it's peril. If we want to find ourselves in the
same position they are in today we have only
to heed the advice of Senator Vandenberg and
his cotery. If we are willing to come to grips
with an enemy on our home soil with made
ouate forces, we need only to abandon the
proposal for a ~selective draft, and let the
have their way.
On the other hand, if we are earnest in our
desire. to make the United States unsafe Tor
aggressors and impregnable under attack, we
will encourage congress to set up the frame
work upon which to build our national de-
Tense, in men as well as equipment. Tn e
of Europe could ask for no greater
support in this country for any move they de-
wise against the security of the Western Heml-
sphere than to convince America that it can
afford to wait until they are at our shores to
recruit our ranks with experienced, fully train
ed soldiers.

On The Spot

Two circumstances, obviously unforeseen by
the German war-planners, have contributed TO
delay the longexpected bltzkreig against Eng
land.
One is Italy's failure to do anything effective
against the British fleet in the Mediterranean.
1t is not to be doubted that Hitler assigned
this task to Mussolini's navy and air force,
when he consented to 1taly's war entry. With
France topping and England ripe for attack,
Hitler foresaw his chance for easy victory IN
the British Isles if control of the Mediterran-
can were taken from her and this life line to
rich supply sources cut. Thus Mussolini was
given his coveted opportunity to share
spoils if he could win this battle for his Axis
ally. But he hasn't won the battle, nor is ne
likely to win il. The British fleet in the Medlter-
ranean has proved its ability to protect British
interests in that sea and in Africa. What sue
cesses the Italian forces have had in Africa are
trihing and have no bearing on the outcome OF
the war.
The other circumstance which has given
Hitler pause is Russia's seizure of Bessarabla,
her demand that Rumania set up a peoples
government, and the threat Stains attitude to-
ward the Balkans contains for Rumanian oil
and grain for the NaZis. AS long as Hitler
had the upper hand in southeastern Europe,
his forces could continue their military ad-
vances with little thought for supplies. Ru-
mania was delivering great quantities of gaso-
line for his planes and tanks. Now, Stain has
stopped these deliveries with a firm determine
ton to take whatever advantage is to be
gained as a result of the war in the Balkan
area.
Hitler finds it necessary to summon repre-
sentatives of Rumania, Bulgaria and Hungary
into conference with his foreign minister, Won
Ribbentrop, in an effort to stabilize the situa-
ton in the Balkans before attacking England
in force. What Won Ribbentrop will be able to
accomplish is not easily forecast, Stain is not
likely to let him enforce any decision upon the
conferees which will jeopardize his interests
in their countries. Meanwhile, Hitler is re-
ported to be accommodating great military
stores at ports in the low countries for his
attack on England. If the London government
is awake to its opportunity We may expect to
learn that British air raiders nave bombed
these stores before long, for British initiative
has at last asserted itself.
Altogether the fuehrer is finding the con-
quest Of England a bigger job than he first de-
clared 1t. 1t is Hitler. more than England, who
is on the spot.

LANDON DEMOCRATS
Raleigh News And Observer

1t is already apparent that the 1910 cam.
paign will not erase party lines, but that party
ties will be less binding than heretofore.
Already, with the campaign scarcely under
way, the terms Democrat and Republican are
Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace,
who voted for the last three Democratic candi-
dates for President, has served in a Demo-
cratic administration for eight years and is
now the Democratic candidate for Vice-Presi-
dent is still a Republican in the eyes of some
Democrats and always will be, regardless of
how much service he performs for the Demo
cratic party. Similarly, some republicans re-
gard Wendell L. Willkie as still a democrat,
party for President.
All of this is confusing. But even more con-
fusing is the listing of boilers. Any man who
ever voted the Democratic ticket who an
nounces his support of the Republican nomi-
nees, is announced as a Democrat in good
standing, regardless of his party record.
So far the only North Carolinian of any
prominence to be included in this list is form
err Undersecretary Of the Treasury John W.
Hanes, who although he has spent most Of his
adult life in New York, is usually listed as a
North Carolinian. Mr.. Hanes, like, nearly all
of the other boilers, voted for Landon in 1896,
the last time he had an opportunity to vote.
Many of them voted the same way in pre-.
vous elections. But these Landon Democrats
are apparently still Democrats.
1t is all very confusing. But in scanning the
list Of supporters of the two candidates, the
voters will look more closely at their back.
grounds than at the party labels assigned to
them. It will occasion little surprise that Mr..
Hanes, the former head of a Wall Street
brokerage house, is in the Willkie camp. 1t
is not likely that other North Carolina boilers
will occasion more surprise. Most if not all OF
them will be found to have been Landon Demo
Gratis at heart, even if they did not have the
courage to vote that way in 1886. 3
