The Reign of Violence
(NeW York Times)


 We are witnessing in Europe a plot to murder civilization systematically carried out the bomb ing of Britain. The tragedy is too vast too gro- esque, overshadowed by the battles in the fore ground, to be fully taken in It is proceeding never theless with relentless cruelty Just enough filters through the veil of silence and censorship to make that conditions in every occupied country are infinitely than know or can imagine. we are living in he'll" says letter smuggled out of Warsaw and this statement of group of tor mented but defiant applies not only to Poland It is literal description the existence of millions of people immured in the Continent which has cradled the culture, the law and the humane tradition of mankind.
 Hitler has imposed new order" from the vis- tula to the Bay of Biscay He has taken a ready-made complex of great cities, well developed industry and agriculture highly civilized populations. By superior force he is presumably able to do what he likes with his captives. What has he done? So far he has produced only immense pool of misery and want Furthermore he has brutalized every society he has touched In Rumania Iron Guardiss execute members of the preceding Government in cuding the Premier in reprsal for the killing Of Iron Guardists under the Carol regime This whole sale assassination was not directed by Hitler, but indirectly it is his work The spirit of violence that rules in Bucharest the reverson to jungle law, is the true emanation of the Nazi spirit. v e E
 As it flares up in savagery in one place after another in political murder in Bucharest in student riots in Zagreb, in fresh round-ups in Prague the new order reveals itself for what 1t is-a reign of disorder leading to anarchy.

CAMPAIGN PROBE

Attorney General Jackson's sell ection of Maurice Milligan to run his nationwide probe of campaign expenditures is a tip-off to the poli- tical INT behind it. District At torney Milligan, who sent Kansas City's notorious Boss Pendergast to jail, is no glamor boy, but one of the toughest and most relentless bloodhounds in the prosecuting bus mess.
 When Milligan hits the warpath, ne always comes back with scalps This time he is armed with DO tent weapon which lot of the boy overlooked-that forgotten Sectior 305-6 of the Corrupt Practices Act which makes it a penal offense fo anyone to fail to report contribu. tions above $50 for political pur- poses in two or more states.

THE KARNES APPOINTMENT

Governor Gruenings appointment of Anthony E. Karnes as the Territory's Director of Selective Service is one which Alaskans will applaud
 To organize the January g registration in which all young Alaskans of from 21 to 35 will sign up for possible military training and to handle the big job of calling them up for service later in accordance with the selective principle the Governor has named a veteran of the World War, a Past Department Commander of the American Legion a man thor oughly familiar with administrative work through his long service as Territorial Commissioner of Education and most important of all man who knows, and is known in all sections of Alaska.
 The job which Tony Karnes is taking on is a difficult one It is also which it is vitay inn portant to the Territory and to it's young men to see carried through efficiently and impartially.
 We have lots of confidence in Tony Karnes' ability to acquit himself and Alaska we'll in this task.
