TERRITORY's VITAL
 STATISTICS FIGURE
 IN SOCIAL SECURITY

The recent amendments to the So- cial Security Act make accurate and prompt compilation of death statis- tics more important than ever be- fore. In view of this situation, the Territorial Auditor, Frank A. Boyle, who is also the Registrar of Vital Statistics for Alaska, has entered in- to an agreement with the Social Security Board whereby the terri torial vital statistics officials agree to notify the Alaska Office of the Board of the death of any person who during his lifetime had been issued a social security account number.
 MT. Boyle has notified all U. s. Commissioners of this agreement and each Commissioner is asked to send in a Proof of DeatA directly to the Alaska Social Security Board Office. In the case of a death in towns ser viced by the U. s. Signal Corps, the commissioners are asked to wire in the required information.
 It is estimated by Mir. Boyle dur ing 1940 some 300 holders of so- cial security numbers will die.

 Mrs. Dewey explains it in a simple statement Of faith which her hus= band shares with her that no harm comes to those who do their duty in fighting the forces Of evil.
 For relaxation and getting away from it all, the Deweys have, for several years, rented a farm near Pawling, N. Y. Last fall they bought the place and have stocked it with a herd of COWS. Mrs. Dewey is busy now supervising the remodelling of the old colonial farmhouse and in furnishing it from scratch.

ON THEE
VI WASHINGTON FRONT

By Morgan II. Beatty AP Feature Service Writer

If MT. Welles' journey to Europe should develop any hope for peace in the near future. the men who sent him over there would be the most surprised people in the world.
 For, as the trip develops, 1t is be- coming more and more apparent that most any basis for peace agree able to Germany would also mean that the Allies, by the same token, would lose the war.
 The reasons are these.
 1 The Allies succeeded last fall in mobilizing their military and e. conomic man power without losing a man.
 ?. That mobilization itself was the first real victory" of the war, and you could have knocked over the German high command with a fea- ther when they saw it completed, without internal trouble. in France or Britain.
 8. Any peace short of complete submission of Germany would mean the demobilization of the Allied eco- homie and military machinery WITHOUT gaining the objectiyes re- qulred by their declaration of war.
 4. It follows that President Roos- eyelt, admittedly sympathetic with the Allied cause, would not press for peace that would embarrass the Allies by forcing them to turn down the plan and thereby take upon themselves the responsibility of de- liberate continuance of the war.
 5. It also follows that any peace plan acceptable to Germany would at least recognize part of the ag- gressions of the Nazis in Czecho- slovakia and Poland and, to that extent, place the benedietion of the United States on the doctrine that might makes right. That is exactly opposite to the sermons President Roosevelt and Secretary Hull have been preaching for three years.
 Answers Wanted
 MT. Welles trip to Europe, there fore, must mean that President Roosevelt, Secretary Hull, and the American government in general don't have any answers on the war. Their information from abroad must be conflicting, sparse, and obviously erroneous in many respects.
 It also means that the Roosevelt administration does not want to go into a critical campaign year and a

critical period in history without doing it's utmost to try to make some sense out of the European struggle from the American point of view.
 Mir Welles is without question the sharpest diplomatic tack ln the state department In the past he has often been able to find out the an- swers to tough questions, more by what they did say. or did do. It is possible he may be able to get more out of what Hitler, Cham berlain. Daladier, and their satel- lites don't tell him, than by what they do
 Political Angle l Maybe Mir. Roosevelt will find out from Mir Welles how serious the clash on the other side of the water this spring will be:
 Q.) Whether there may be a world holocaust, and a public de- mand for a third term.
 Or 12.) whether the war win wal ] low along in it's economic trough. and Americans will turn entirely to domestic affairs.
 Or maybe Mr. Welles won't be able to figure out the answers.
 Either way, Messrs. Roosevelt and Hull will be able to tell themselves that they have done everything they can to help guide the course of the American ship of state in critical times-and incidentally, to steer the course of the Democratic party.
 For Mr. Welles' trip is building up for the President the political answer to a political cry" he is leading Us toward war" In naming Myron Taylor as personal ambassa- dor to the Vatican, and in sending Mr. Welles to Europe, MT. Roosevelt is incidentally making it possible for his supporters to chirp in reply. No; he tried to lead the world to- ward peace"
