MussOlini in the Middle
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

The Italian boot is beginning to pinch Musso- lini. The business of walking the middle road be- tween non-belligerency and unneutrality is not pleasant. One week the boot slips to the German side of the path and the next week to the Allied. The result of such staggering is dangerous strain on the peninsula's political constitution
 For the nonce Italy seems to have warmed up to the axis once more. What Hitler told Musso- lni in their recent telephone conversation is not known but from the surface rippes plenty was sa1d. Once again the press is in full cry against the British. It has forgotten Russia for the mo- ment It soft pedals it's antagonsm to the French; they too close to annoy too openly.
 In retaliation trade negotiations between Italy and the Allies have been abandoned. Italy was to ship $80000000 worth of to the entente in exchange for Welsh coal The Germans evil dently told Rome to give up that scheme. Now Britain is to embargo coal shipped from Germany through Dutch ports to run Italian industry. Hitherto it has been allowed to pass in the hope of appeasng Italy Italy from now on will feel the blockade and the embargo along with the other neutrals who have complained in the past against the favortism shown the Italians.
 From the time he to office Prime Min ister Chamberlain has never tired of appeasng Il Duce in the hope of turing him from the axis. The French tagged along. When the war started they went the dength of suppressing Italian emigre newspapers in Paris critical of the Fascist regime
 At last the Allies beginning to see that they can no more bring Italy around by appease ment than they could Germany Henceforth they intend to get tough. If Germany wins Italy will be a colony of the Third Reich than ever. Mussolini knows it. He is also aware that he could not take his people into the war on the German side without the risk of revolution. Under these conditions there is point in cod ding him while he plays the German game Mus solinis brand of realistic politics is finally growing stale.

 The Russians have invaded Finmark, Finland was then called and "our Scandinavian democrats have decided they do not wish to get mixed up in the affair. With the house next door on fire they refuse to take steps to help put out the flames for fear they may antagonize the ncendiary.
 The Foreign Ministers of Sweden, Norway and Denmark who met in Copenhagen and decided to act jointly to uphold Scandinavian neutrality. may in fact have merely assured Russia and her German ally that they will have easy picking in the rest of Scandinavia once Finland is defeated And large ly to blame the Allies though they recently showed by their foray against the Altmark and their dispatch of a fleet to the Arctic Ocean north of Norway that they would not allow Scandinavian

MISS ALASKA

We are all sorry of course, that our Miss Juneau has not changed her name to Miss Alaska But we're not bit sorry that sent her to Fairbanks to represent the Capital And we plan to send an- other Juneau girl north to next years Ice Carnival
 If she didn't win the high honor of being named Aaska's fairest Sybn Godfrey did win valuable good will for the people of Juneau It is a good will which business and social relations between South east and Interior Alaska will thrive. Miss Juneau has fulfilled the purpose for which she was sent north just successfully though she returned with the crown
 In Miss Minnie Motschman of Fairbanks, who has been named 194O's Miss Alaska take great interest and pride as though lived in Fair banks. She represents no one, city or district but the whole Territory She is the first Fairbanks girl to be honored with the Miss Alaska title, though Fairbanks has been doing all the work connected with the Ice Carnival and queen contest for many years.
 All hail Miss Alaskai

TUESDAY, MARCH 12

Mingled good and evil planetary aspects rule today. The morning hours should be suspicious for the signing of contracts with workers The Moon enters Taurus, a sign conducive to courage which may be much needed before the end of the month. Women are under a sway making for varied activities
 Heart and Home: The configlira- ton should be stimulating to wo- men who will realize that heavy re- sponsibilities await them in service of many sorts. Those who have .yo- cational training should perfect themselves in technique. The eve ming is suspicious for hospitality and may even encourage love sif- fairs
 Business Affairs Puzzling sprob- lens connected with exports will multiply, but general trade in the United States will be good. Manu- featuring will reach the highest standards of speed in production. Apprehension regarding springtime European war policies may slow down certain industries. Close re- lations between business and gov ernment will prevail
 National Issues: Discussion of the potentialities of war drives in their effect upon the United States will be serious as the stars presage conflict on a vast scale Secret in- formation will spur the United States government to stern meas ures in diplomacy. Harassing man. euvers of fleets are forecast. Treacherous methods will be under taken for the purpose of drawing this country into what would be a world war more dreadful than any previous waste of life on Seas or land
 International Affairs: The con- test which seems to threaten civili- zation as the European war con- tinues will develop desperate situ- ations for Hitler The stars seem to presage for the spring the sort of warfare long dreaded-whole- sale attacks on land and sea and from the air. Dictators come under evil portents that seem to forecast lack of harmony among them, even though they may unite for selfish reasons. Unrest that reaches dan gerous stages is foreseen for peo- pies engaged in war n.
 Persons whose pirthdate it is have the augury of a year of prosperity to which friends contribute. The wise will not seek change or make any attempt to engage in new vo- cations.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be vigorous, quick-tem- pered and impetuous. Many of these subjects of Pisces have talent for music.
