AS the New Deal machine moves
along in its engineering of a third
term nomination for President R0os-
eyelt, the background of the two
term precedent established by George
Washington and Thomas Jefferson is
not to be forgotten.
Jefferson is the father of the DEM
oCratic Party. In 1908 history re-
cites that he could easily have been
reelected for a third term. But his

More significant than betting. how
ever. was the two Congressional
elections held in Ohio recently. Re
publicans naturally let up a cheer
when their candidates defeated Dem
ocrats. Democrats attempted to pooh
pooh the elections. But two such de-
feats coming within a few months of
a Presidential election are straws in
the wind that political observers are
not ignoring. One of the districts
had been recognized as a New Deal
stronghold and the election of the
Republican there was one Of the
most serious blows struck at New
Deal power since the Congressional
elections of 1888. 1t is difficult to
read into it any other interpretation
than that the anti-New Deal tide
which showed itself in '3S is still
running in favor of Republican
victory this year.

The Wisest Course

Cincinnati Enquirer
 The economic stamina of England in her wal with the Axis powers depends to small degree upon the continuation of her world trade. And as the progresses the reciprocal trade between the United States and the United Kingdom will be of increasing importance to the British effort.
 While perhaps not matter of immediate nec- essity the near balancing of British imports and exports is in the long essential to the economic stability demanded by the And it must be re- membered that while England blockadeS Europe, she likewise cut off from trade possibilities on the Continent. This entails the development of markets elsewhere in the world if the trade life of the nation is not to be throttled
 American exports to Great Britain, largely arna- ments and essential war commodities, leave tlfis nation with a heavy trade balance which might well be equazed through greater sales of English products here. This should not be carried to the point of dislocation of any American industry, but there is ample leeway for desirable exploitation of English made goods.
 It is much to interest to keep England strong enough economically to keep up her fight particularly since this be accomplished through the regular channels of reciprocal trade-as it is for us keep her strong enough militarily to con- tinue the fight If do not accomplish this through a trade encouragement, which is the wholesome method of accomplishing it. we will before long be faced with the unpleasant alternatives of oanng England money she may never be able to repay or of accepting the consequences of a British defeat through economic prostration To intelligent Ameri- the wsest course should be obvious

ALIENS TAKE NOTE

The four-month period provided by Congress for the registration and fingerprinting of all aliens in the United States and its Territories is nearing its close With less than a month to go fac ing the task of registering the last 8O00O0 or so non-citizens who G) still ignorant of the law, t2> negligent (3) reluctant unwilling to com ply with the law.
 Nearly 100000 aliens have already registered. It is the last few hundred thousand who will be the most difficult to reach Undoubtedly some of these reside in Alaska.
 About those who deliberately neglecting to register we can do nothing for the present. At the end of the registration period they will take their places with any other criminal; but making every effort to register those non-ctzens who have not yet been counted through ignorance or misunder standing of the law
 Aliens are warned as follows:
 CD All aliens who were in the United States and its territories of August 27 must be registered and fingerprinted by December 26 or face $1OOo fine, six months in jail, both.
 @ Alien children under IA must be registered by their parents or guardians but not finger printed
 (sl Aliens having registered have still not fully compiled with the law unless they notify the Imm- grafton and Naturalization Service of the Depart ment of Justice in Washington of any change in permanent residence address within five days of such change, form available at the Juneau Post Office
 f4l The Postmaster should be notified immedi- ately in the of any bedridden alien that he may take the necessary steps to register him at his place of confinement.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compe"
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28

Benefic aspects dominate today It is a fortunate sway for adver- 1 Using. Newspapers are to profit The stars encourage the signing of contracts or agreements.
 Heart and Home: This is a day for routine matters. There is m i'll omen for new acqaintanceS of i opposite sex. Girls should stick tc i old devotees. The home will gain greatly in popularity at this time when the family appreciates the standard of living in this country The stars encourage public service of all sorts aimed at human relief or betterment. History will repeat itself as girls attend dances for the boys in uniform
 Business Affairs: Negotiations favorable to commerce are prognos- ticated as successful for the com ing year Merchants and manufac- turers will be busy along urgent lines of distribution and produc- ton. Efforts of hostile powers to restrict commerce with the United States will be of brief effect as new channels will open where old chan nels close Oil is to be the subject of important diplomatic conver- Saticns in which Mexico will have a voice.
 National Issues: As refugees are welcomed into the United States a new value will be imparted to citizenship, and appreciation f of natives will be awakened, it is prog nosticated The habit of, taking for granted the advantages enjoyed iil the land of the free will be less widespread as the blessings oi liberty are shared with war victims Coming months will afford oppor- tunities to prove what universal brotherhood means.
 International Affairs: Diplomatic ping pong is foreseen in connec- tion with the Duke and Duchess of Windsor who may be responsible for an international incident .tc which society folk of the United States contribute. The stars indi- cate that the head of the Bahamas government will remain but brief time at his post of duty.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of per plexities There may be losses or financial setbacks. The health should be watched
 Children born on this day will be intuitive, lovable and fond of change. Many subjects of this sign are keen on travel.

On Fire Hazard Law
For Fire Hazard

NEW YORK. --- -(ANP)-One of
the most effective manners of con-
trolling Illicit diatilling of whiskey
in New York is the paiIing of offend
ers on charges Of creating and
maintaining fire hazard rather
than charges OF operating still.
Two men accused of operating
50gallon still were held in $1,000
ball each for special sessions on
charges of violating the liquor
laws and. stealing gas, and were
sentenced to six months in the
workhouse for creating a fire haz-
ard, by magistrate in Harlem
court this week.
The defendants, Willis Brown
40, and George Wroton, 43, were
arrested this week by police who
stated to the court that they had
found the two men cooking mash
in the still over a gas range. The
gas was fed to the stove through
a rubber hose, violation of the
fire laws in New York. Police also
said they found five gallon con-
tainers of mash and a small
amount of alcohol.
In passing sentence, the magis-
trate told the men that he c0nsid-
