bania probably will go into Hit ler's tank divisions instead of in- to Italian war uses. So short has be entIaly on fuel through the years that her factories had to be built in the foothills so water power would turn the wheels. When Britain stopped her inn ports of German coal last spring Italy holed loudly but now that she's at ar,the blockade stops many other things than coal to keep her factories busy. Shes getting hungary.
 Lightning war, live lightning, never strikes twice in the same place. A master race that sets out to dominate a world must all ways find an inferior race to sug- jugata, and if 1t can't be found across a 20-mile channel, it will be found elsewhere and placed in chains. This is the credo of the dynamic nazi party, and it is be ing adopted by Italy this fall and apparently by Japan, who up un- til now has thought little good of a Germany that would make alliances with red Russia.
 Most observers have felt that Germany would use this winter, as she did the last one, to capital ize her gains of the summer. Last falls campaigns gave her Dan zig, Poland and the Polish corri- dor, which she Germanized in quick order during the winter. Last May and June gave her Den mark, Norway, the lowlands and France. She is now hauling away all tangible and movable wealth from France, leaving that once proud and prosperous nation in poverty.
 Admittedly faced with stale mate in the west this winter, the r9ich must find some smaller neighbors to pick to pieces, some new alliances to make, some fur ther political gains to accom- plish. Winch way she will turn is not apparent, but there are indie ative signs.

9 % of Xmas Seal Sales Re- main In Alaska

In answer to many inquiries re ceived as to the expenditure of Christmas Sal Sale funds, Jam es McHaughton, Treasurer of the Alaska Tuberculosis Association issued the following statement:
 "95fo of the money raised is retained by the Alaska Associa- tion for the control of the disease in the Territory. ThCA emaining 5f6 is paid to the ,4onal As sociation for it's nation wide cam paign. During the past four years we have contributed $15,000 to the Tuberculin Testing and x-ray Clinics held in the schools of Al aska. These clinics have taken 5000 X-rays and given 10000 tu- berculin tests during this time. This has accounted for the major portion of the available funds"
 The remainder Is spent each year for heath education, coop eratlng with Federal and Terri torial agenci-s, we have distrib- uted more than 3O,00O pamphlets on tuberculosis. Motion pictures on tubercu osis have been shown wherever power is available and talks on tuberculosis control have been giv-n to sll interested groups"
 T feel" he continued that it is particularly important that the people of Alaska know that so large a portion of the funds are retained at home and used for the control of tuberculosis in the Territory"

The Washington 
By Drew Pearson and Robert s. Allen

WASHINGTON, Nov. It has not leaked out yet, but the State went pretty far in pressuring the Vichy govern ment to surrender the 93 plane S which the U. S. Navy once sold to France and which are now rusting away at Martinique. The State Department even threaten ed to seU2r diplomatic relations if the French were too stiff-neck ed about these airplanes.
 Sumner WelleS has had several talks with Ambassador Henri Have regarding Martinique, and at one time when Welles asked that the planes be returned to the United States, the French Ambassador actually replied: I'm afraid it might get us into trouble with Berlin"
 In other words Vichy is taking orders from Berlin almost every step of the way.
 Meanwhile the agreement nego tiated by Marshal Petain and Hit Ter is cloaked in the strictest secrecy. Some of the main points have leaked out however and if these leaks are correct, France and Germany agree to cooperate for the peace of Europe Since Great Britain is now the only country disturbing the peace of Europe"-at lsast in the eyes of the Nazis - this means that France will cooperate with Ger many in forcing Britain into peace.
 Th.s is the formula by which France justifies the leasing to Germany of her naval bases and airfields around the Msditerran- can. This means Nazi control of Syria, all-important in the Nazi drive from the Balkans to Suez; and Dakar, which is all-import- ant in diSruptng British shipping lines around the tip end of Al rica to Australia, India and the Far East.

assurances from the French fleet that the three cruisers which tbav let through the Straits of Gibraltar into the Atlantic would cooperate with the BriiSh when the British were ready to take over the important naval base at Dakar
 However, the French Navy is additionally anti-British, inclin- ed to be pro-fascist. The Frsnch Army on the other hand, is wig orously pro-British. And the French Navy double-crossed them.
 So when General de Gaulle ap peared with British Warships just off the Dakar naval base, th3 French officers, instead of giv ing up to their advance pledg- es opened fire. Simultaneously, French co onial troops came rush ing down to the beach, virtual ly holding out their hands to the British to send landing parties ashore.
 The British did not know the attitud of the French Army. All they knew was that the anti British French naval officers had opened fire. The British had no way of knowing that their land ing parties might not be fired on also. So de Gaulle and his ill- fated mission sailed for home.
 NO E - Admiral Robert, French commander of naval fore es at Martinique, is absolutely op posed to any surrender to the United States.
 He is sitting tight and con- tends that it will take a keg of dynamite to blast him from his position in the French West Indies.

The last full-blooded Tasmanian

Truganini.
Truganini was far from good
looking" In her old age, she was
ugly and had short beard under
her chin. Yet she had kind heart,
and one day saved the life OF a
white settler.
Tasmania is an island off the
southeastern coast of Australia. 1t
Is almost as large as Ireland, but
contains only a quarter of million
people. The present population is
nearly all white, there being only a
few persons of mixed race.
The island was named in honor
Of Dutchman named Tasman. He
was in command of fleet of Dutch
vessels which visited the coast
three centuries ago.
Later Capt. James Cook, famous
British explorer, visited Tasmania.
When the first whites reached the
island, they found several thousand
native people living there. These
folks were blacks" or at least they
had dark-colored skins. Their skin

East returned a club, and dummy

situation. Both dummy and South
we're void of clubs, and a diamond
lead would allow dummy to make
an undeserved trick with the nine of
diamonds. Apparently only a heart
lead was safe. Fortunately for
South, he guessed right by playing
the heart nine rather than the
queen, and the rest was easy, since
Vests king was trapped.
East thought he was caught in a
true end-play, but it was really only
swindle. since a diamond return
was perfectly safe. East knew that
South had started with five trumps
and two clubs; hence, with six red
cards. Allowing dummy to make
three diamond tricks would still
leave South with a loser in hearts.

Is best with a fine partner against
sensible opponents. Erratic oppo-

pass; and an cratic partner may
