This is hardly the moment for getting people to accept a cannon as musical instrument but the thing has come to pass in Philadelphia. Symphony Conductor Eugene Ormandy plans a performance of Tchaikovsky's 1912 Overture next month and where the indicates the sound of cannon fire he proposes to National Guard i-tank gun The musicians union insists that the cannon will have to be fired by union man The authorities in charge of the concert will not make an issue of it. They stand ready to re- ceive applications for the position of symphony bombardier"

Air Bases Needed
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 ship is similar to airplane in that it must have base It may be able to stay at for weeks or months but finally it must find a safe harbor where it can be outftted and made ready for an- other voyage The British have world power because in every quarter of the globe they have adequate naval bases Halifax and Vancouver this conti- nent are typical examples One reason the navy of the Kaiser handicapped that soon it out of German waters, it was obliged to depend on the hospitality of foreign ports.
 Hitler's navy suffered from the dsadvan- tage, When was declared his batteships were left with place to go except home
 This is a situation which irks the Germans. They look with envy the British Empire because is not cabined cribbed and confined but is spread out the And if air power is to be the mighty force of the future then than ever Germany must have airports so located to awe the nations. Her mighty birds of prey must have places on which to light and replensh their cargoes of bombs and gasoline.
 There is thing certain If Germany should vanquish the Allies and the price of peace demand Newfoundland, Bermuda the Bahamas, Jamaica and Trinidad, we would be in the fight instantly We could not endure the near presence of such ruth less and dangerous neighbOr. This is not pleasant to think about, but there is limit to Hitler's biton. We might just well consider all contin- gencies.

Anti-Spy, Not Anti-Alien
(NeW York Times)

(NeW York T1meS)
 The need of enabling the Government to Ideal quickly with those aliens who conduct themselves in a manner that conflicts with the public interest is given by President Roosevelt his reason for recommending the transfer of the Immigration and Naturalization Service from the Department of Labor to the Department of Justice. One need not be hysterca to the potentiaites of fifth columnsts in this country to the wisdom of this action. We have aliens among who sympathize with preda- tory European Powers, and among them undoubtedly some who would be glad to help those Powers at the expense of the United States. The we find out who these latter and the we take steps to render them helpless the better. The proposed nation wide registration of aliens should be of service to this end.
 But the time has not come-and God willing, will not come-when we shall see a spy behind every foreign accent The President specifically dis claims any intention to deprive aliens of their civil liberties or otherwise to impair their legal status " We can count on Attorney General Jackson to live monition
 The fifth columnists in every democratic coun- try have abused their liberties. They as low and groveling a form of human life can imagine. But they cannot be successfully fought by taking away the liberties of loyal citizens of law abiding aliens who honestly grateful for the hos pitality they have found here Whatever happens we must stand firm in friendship for all who love liberty

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not C yanpep
FRIDAY, JUNE IA

Adverse planetary aspects domin- ate today It is sway that causs5 apprehension and Encouragement There is sign conducive to poor judgment regarding men and Wo- men It is not a configuration promising to character insight and it encourages critical points if view.
 Heart and Home: Women today may be high-strung, nervous and exacting in their human relations. The tendency will be to see faults and to forget virtues distinguish ing members of the family. Unrest and a desire for change will be prevalent. Students who look for ward with apprehension regarding their careers should overcome them, for, upon reaching middle age, they will belong to a world much im- proved. In working out destinies that seem to include economical limitations and war service, many will achieve spiritual enlightenment and material success.
 Business Affairs: General pros perity will be enjoyed throughout the summer, although numerous changes will be at work affecting trade and commerce. It has been long prophesied that the United States is to become the greatest of nations and now it's many nat ural resources and thriving indus tries will gain through the advan- tageS enjoyed by a nation at peace. Manufacturers are to be over whelmed by contracts that prom ise large profits. Novel inventions will contribute to the comfort and the wealth of the country.
 National Issues: Taxes are to assume sudden degrees of impor tance since there will be need of increased revenues in coming months. While there is insistence on economy more government ex- penditures will be necessary. Move ments to reduce the number of public employees in city, county and Federal offices will be abor- tive, due to developments of unex- pected character affecting the country. A man who has held high executive positions is to prove his gift for leadership in an emer- gency.
 International Affairs: In the Flu ropean war there is to be conflict extending to 1942, the seers foretell, and the cause of democracy is to be victorious at a great price that will tie closely together widely separated nations. Deeds of su- preme daring and heroism are to be recorded as history is written in blood. For the American people, astrologers counsel careful proceed ure with the will to do what is best for human progress.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of mod crate prosperity. They should be prudent where their emotions are involved. Love affairs may be very dangerous
 Children born on this day prob ably will be lovable, artistic ana generous. These natives of Gemini may be easily deceived through their natural love of humanity.

ALASKA'S BOOKS

Alaska is in process of being despoled of the best of her historical documents and mementoes from the days of the Russian occupation of the Territory. Last week more than half ton of these priceless records were taken from sitka Soon Ko- diak Unalaska and the old churches of the Vest ward are to be similarly stripped of their historic heritage. M
 This systematic footing of the literary treasures of Alaska is being undertaken in the name of the Library of Congress and under authority granted by the Metropolitan of the Russian Orthodox Church which claims jurisdiction the old Russian churches in Alaska. The idea is that the records of the Russian colonization will be gathered together in one place, which is Washington D. c.
 Once the documents reach the vaults of the Library of Congress they will find their way back to Alaska Once they reach Washington they probably will never be heard of or looked at again s It is right that these old volumes be put in safe keeping. But the place to bring them together into sea collection the Historical Library of the Territory q Alaska and not the Library of Congress, where they will be lost among millions of other books. Michael Z Vinokouroff the Library of Congress representative who is taking up the present col lection claims several volumes from the Terri torial Library here He has been stalled temporarily his effort to take the old books off the library shelves but promises to be back armed with author ity to seize them
 Among those who vehemently opposed to Vnokouroff's raid is Archie w Shels, Alaska author and President of Pacific American Fisheries He believes, do, that the old Russian documents should remain in the Alaska which they concern. Bring them together in a safe place. yes but keep them in the Territory.
 A loud protest against this book blitzkreg should be made by Alaska before it is too late if indeed it is not already too late
