to cut the Blue Armys supply lines, so that the

plants. One American motor manu-
facturer whose plant in Germany
has been taken over by the Nazis,
recently reported to Washington Of
ficials that he was no longer inter-
ested in trying to get the plant back.
1t had been too heavily damaged by
British bombs.
However, it is important to re-
member that Hitler's arms factories
not only are widely scattered
throughout Germany, but also in
Czechoslovakia and Austria. These
areas are located from the range of
British bombers = unless they are
able to borrow some of our Flying
Fortresses.
Boiling it down, the British prob
ably have suffered much more than
the Nazis, because British plants are
not decentralized; also because the
continuous air raids over London
interrupt factory production. If TO-
600 workers respond to an air raid
signal and go into dug outs for an
hour, then there is a loss of 10000
man-hours of work
This is one of the biggest factors
hampering British airplane produc-
ton.

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compe"
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER rs

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER rs
This is a fortunate day, for BEN
efic aspects dominate it. Industry
comes under as suspicious rule
that enables cooperation between
EMPLOYERS and employees.
Heart and Home There is fair
promise for the interests of wom-
en- today, but they should concen-
trate upon feminine pursuits. The
stars encourage unselfish devotion
to family and to duty in public
affairs. Persons of all ages should
sacrifice personal comforts for HUI
manitarian service in many lines
of work. Children are to be much
in need of care through coming
months when new phases of old
maladies will be suffered by many
Business Affairs: Trade and cont
merce will reveal good results from
the foresight in governmental re-
adjustments of commercial prob
lens. Study of economic conditions
will benefit large numbers of AM
orleans who realize that the period
in which great wealth may be
easily gained by many is now
passed. There is sign read as
presaging benefits through decen-
traliza ton of relief and other Or
CARNATIONS. Community self-reli-
ance and independence will be for
tunate for many towns and vii
lagos in widely separated states.
National Issues: The machinery
of the Federal government will
undergo many changes at the be-
ginning of 194l, but these will not
affect the head engineer, accord
ing to foreign seers. Men of large
business experience will replace
those with political pull Great
events will unity the nation III its
unprejudiced loyalty to democracy.
Women will preach right ideals and
will render valuable aid to prepar-
edness projects.
International Affairs: Mars and
Neptune near the Ascendant at
Paris will increase the trend to-
ward rebellion against Nazi rule.
All central and eastern Europe will
be under subversive influences that
may bring about grave problems
for Hitler whose stars will begin
to descend Seismic disturbances
will be felt in the Orient. Japan
may suffer another serious earth
quake.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of year of more
than average good luck. There
may be a tendency toward extra
vagance in the manner of liv-
ing.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be happy in nature, easy
going and fond of luxury. They
may be extremely talented. Music
may be principal talent.

"AMERICA's SWEETHEART"


One incident during Wendell Will
kie's Hollywood visit was secret be-
tween him and Mary Pickfcrd.
Americas Sweetheart" invited him
to ~Pickfair," her vast and ornate
mansion, but the COP standard
bearer courteously but firmly de-
clined.
He was too smart to get mixed
up in the movie colony's hectic social
feuds. Miss Pickford is an enthus-
iastic Willkie rooter. She visited him
at Colorado Springs. But there are
many other votes in Hollywood, and
Willkie was not stepping on any
toes If he could help it.
Instead of following the trail of
nobility to the Pickford mansion
he met the heterogeneous folks OF
the film industry, from stars to
sweeps. in a big gathering at the
Hollywood Bowl. They assembled
there to hear his speech, delivered
at the Coliseum, via loudspeakers
and later he came to the Bowl and
greeted them personally.

his public contacts. In Chicago he
carefully avoided the Ford plant, al

JUNEAU CAN HELP

Almost everyone would like to help England in
some way to successfully withstand the German air
attack, which appears certain to last through
the winter We all roofing for the British. Now
we, the people of Juneau, have opportunity to
do our bit for them
BY voluntary subscription Juneauites are going
to buy trailer ambulance for small village some
where in England. This practical little lfe-saver,
designed by who have seen modern war and
know what is needed to alleviate the suffering it
causes, costs only 80 pounds. or $3.50.
Large cities of England have been we'll pro-
vided with motor ambulances but government
hard pressed on thousand fronts to prepare for
the worst assault in history has had of necessity to
leave the smaller villages and hamets largely
protected Naturally these small towns are just as
subject to attack the great cities In providing
trailer ambulance for of these villages Juneau
will be helping in small way to support the people
OF Great Britain in their struggle for freedom,
struggle which recognize is as much ours
as theirs
The simple but extremely useful trailer ambulance
will accommodate two stretcher cases. four sitting
cases and an attendant. There is nothing on it to
get out of order. The first cost is the last. 1t is
towed easily by any automobile The trailer ambu-
lance which Juneau buys will have Juneau Alaska"
lettered on its side under American flag.
When the noble Finnish people attacked
by the Russians last winter Juneau dug down into
its heart and its pockets for than thousand
dollars for Finnish relief fund, which was trans
mitted to Finland and helped to take care of the
hungry and homeless. The need of England now is
no less pressing. An ambulance is not weapon.
but it is just as important in in which women
and children in their homes targets for air raid

morale be strengthened indirectly and possibly
many lives saved directly by Juneau's gift to

DIPLOMAT MoRGENTHAU

Shortly before Count de St Quen-
tin retired as French Ambassador
to the United States, he asked for
an appointment with Secretary of
the Treasury Morgenthau for the
purpose of discussing French funds
frozen in the United States. These
were taken over by the United States
when Germany invaded France, and
the Ambassador wanted to have
some of them released in order to
pay the expenses of French consuls
in this country.
Morgenthau knew in advance

Ministry of No Information
(Cleveland Plain Dealer)


It has been remarked before that the British
Ministry of Information is strangely inept when it
comes to the announcement of important war de-
velopments. The new incident is of the sinking Of
the refugee ship somewhere northern British
port.
The public is not told exactly where the ship was
when the torpedo hit, when the attack occurred or
the name of the vessel This is the Minstry's curl
GUS notion of how to announce news event of
widespread interest.
One result is that the Germans Immediately
declare their innocence of the attack. 1t may have
been a NINE Berlin conjectures. Or the whole in
cident may be fiction conceived by the British in
order to win sympathy and build up the against
alleged German ruthlessness.
What possible purpose does the British Ministry
of Information imagine is served by such policy
of withholding facts? Certainly the Germans already
knew all the facts in the casefacts which the Brit
sh and the neutral world denied. 1t is merely
that needless curtain of mystery is hung over
matter fact Mystery begets suspicion
and flood of harmful rumors. .,.r
1t is policy of dumbness. Somebody ought to
give the Ministry of Information some of the more
important facts of life they exist in war time.
