 National Issues: Women will foresee the effects upon the morals of the young, due to the conditions brought about by war in other lands and near at hand The seers declare that reforms in manners and customs should engage atten- tion. Beginning in their home towns women should combat vice and graft as never before, if they hope to maintain the high ideals of the nation. Wholesome reactionary in- fluences actively overcame results of the first World War, but the menace of much worse social dis integration is now forecast.

FROM THE FRONT

On the deck of a steamer in the Atlantic stood two women One was English the other German. One was headed for safety in America from the bombs being dropped around her home by German airmen The other faced nternment in Canada as an enemy alien. Their nations were at
 Around the shi were other ships, each perhaps having somewhere aboard Engishwoman and a woman from Germany standing side by side. Around all the ships was a convoy of British warships. Around these were rumors, which skipped miracu- lously as only rumors can, from ship to ship. The rumors said a submarine was following the convoy were no lights on the ships at night The English woman hadn't had her clothing off at night since the voyage started This was war
 The Englishwoman had two young children with her; so did the woman from Germany, Maybe that's what drew them together At any rate the two women struck up a conversation, The German woman ventured the observation that she had nf quarrel with the English people. The Englshwomar said truthf9ly. tbat she harhored no bitternes toward the Germans They agreed that most C the people in each country would prefer to b friends with most of the people in the other. They agreed that terrible.

were killing and being killed That was war Out of the last war came, years later, many stories of the fraternzng of enemy troops of Ger mans wanting not war, but peace just as fervently as the English, French, Italians and Americans op- posing them wanted peace. It is rare, however, to detect this great undercurrent in the days when war is on every mind and in every heart, when the most convincing argument is to kill or be killed. The quiet heartthrob of humanity beating out an unheard though anguished cry for peace, Is there all the time however hidden and silenced as it may be by the of war.
 The Englshwoman in this story just happened to be headed for Juneau. She is Mrs D. L. Wallace, who has come with her two little girls to stay with her brother Jack Molyneaux Slntil the war is over We heard the story from Mrs Wallace when she spoke this week before the Juneau Rotary Club and it made impression.
 There were other things she said which hadn't thought about in connection with the war How diff ficult it is to make children wear their gasmasks (there are special Mickey Mouse gasmasks to help overcome this difficulty. How the housewife wor- ries about the supper the stove while she waits out an air raid underground How hard it is to restrain the impulse to come out Of the shelter to watch the fascinating aerial dogfghts overhead How greatly England has been heartened by American sympathy and aid ("You have no idea the wonderful feeling it gave when America really started to help We didn't feel quite aloneD. How the Wl1e or an Royal Air Force fer watches his squadron take OH at dawn: how she waits hour after anxious hour and wonders how he is faring in the antiaircraft and pursuit ship fire over Germany; how sne imagines she sees returning planes which are not there how the squadron finally does come into view tiny specks in the sky; how she counts them ana recounts them as they nearer; how she notices one is missing or two; and how she wonders almost in faint whether it might be he.
 These are some of the things English tand Ger man) women are having to face today.

it may be too late"
 Welles then pointed out that blockade of Japan would mean cut ting off the planes which are now being sold to Great Britain, since they would be needed in the Pa cific.
 Not at all," rplied Leahy. We will use exactly the planes which the Navy has today. We can't get any more planes on our airplane car- riers than we have at present, so we can't use any more planes until we build new airplane carriers, and they aren't built in a month or even nine months. So the British can keep right on getting their planes. '
 Secretary Knox supported Leahy emphatically throughout the argu- ment, and the meeting ended, af- ter some of the most bare-knuckle discussion recently exchanged on foreign policy, with no definite de- cision.
 Further conferences are being held, and a final decision on shut ting off all Japan's war supplies probably will depend on develop ments in both the Far East and Flu rope.

 However, the embargo-now group within the Cabinet contends that the Dutch East Indies are fortified sufficiently to W tn S ta nd four months. seize, and that with the U. S. fleet on guard in that general area, Japan could not risk an at tack on these islands.
 What makes the intra Cabinet de- bate doubly vital is Knowledge that as long as the British fleet keeps the Italian and Nazi fleets bottled up in Europe, the U. s. fleet can operate as a one-ocean navy, there- by keeping most of it's vessels on guard against Japan in the Pacific But once Britain's naval defense weakens, then the United States will have the navieS of the European dictators to contend with in the At lantic, plus the Japanese in the Pacific.
 And a two-ocean drive on South America by both the dictators and Japan is more than the Navy likes to contemplate That is the chief argument behind the "total-em- bargo now group.

LIMITED EMBARGO ON OIL

The Cabinet indifference first came to a head more than month ago when the action-now group placed on the Presidents desk an executive order embargoing the sale of oil. They argued that with the military clique in Japan actually threatening war, they could not continue to give the Japanese navy this vital fuel. The President con- cured and signed the order. Then it went over to the State Depart ment to be carried out And the State Department revised the order so that it applied only to high test gasoline.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not cOmpe"
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27

There should be an awakening to the spiritual significance Of world happenings as benefic as- poets dominate today. The stars stimulate the clergy to broader philanthropic interests and inspir- ing interpretations of religious ideas.
 Heart and Home: Women are fortunate today which should be opportune for kindly deeds and wise counseling The aged will find comfort in the philosophy of history. Girls come under rule of the stars that presages romance as- sociated with public service and suitors who wear uniforms. This IS happy date for informal home Inequalities. It is well to make the most of each days happiness in a land of temporary peace, for threatening portents are discerned in the skies.
 Business Affairs: This week will show a slight influence of the coming election which will retard stock. sales and certain lines of trade. The outlook for the future months is good, although there will be necessary increase in public expenditures before winter Cutting down of relief rolls is fore told with consequent increase of demands upon private charities.
 National Issues: Bitter criticism will be greatly intensified as the national campaign closes. A senSa- tional political coup will change a number of votes, although it's du- bious origin will be exposed. Sel- fishness among candidates for Con gress will be manifested in indif- ference to preparedness. Warning of perils in the election of radica
 candidates is given by the seers.

NAVY vs. STATE DEPARTMENT

Last week one argument over this point and over general naval policy in the Far East developed into a hot debate between the Navy on one side, and Hull and Welles on the other. It took place at the White House, in front of the President, who did most of the listening
 Hull and WelleS contended that if we stopped Japan's oil supply she would certainly attack the Dutch East Indies, and that the United States could not possibly afford to have ships in that area because they might be needed in Atlantic waters. Welles pointed out that the Germans might seize the Azores Oi the French naval base at Dakar West Africa, which would menace South America.
 To this, Admiral Leahy. now Gov ernor of Puerto Rica and one O. | Roosevelts closest naval advisers replied:
 Gentlemen, we don't have tt worry about Dakar and the Azore. now.
