uel Prado's speech opening Con gress recently emphasized the danger from the doctrine of dou- bic nationality held by the Jap anese and Germans. In the same speech he stressed Peruvian sup port of ter-American coopera- tion for hemisphere defense.
 Among Peruvians there are some highly placed officially and in business and the press who are mentioned as pro-Nazi or pro-Fascist. One is a Spanish marquis, a friend of Generalis- simo Francisco Franco, and an- other is a Japanese, influential among wealthy Peruvians. 9th CTS are related by marriage to German and Italian party mem- bers here. Members of a leading newspaper publishing family al so are included.
 These all are regarded as more of a potential than an actual men ace but there is fear of what will happen if Germany should win the war before Pan-Americanism has time to establish adequate bulwarks against the fifth col umn. There is saying in Lima, ''He throws the stone but hides the hand" which expresses the uneasy fear of the man in the street that conditions are not as good as they appear on the sur face.

Anti-Japanese Feeling

Another indication of Peruvian sentiment is the growing anti Japanese feeling, reflected last May in widespread attacks on Jap anese. Many were hurt and much property damaged after rumors that Japanese had smuggled large quantities of arms and am .munition into Peru.
 Peruvians have regarded the Japanese as a greater menace than the Germans since the long Peruvian coastline is exposed to attack from the Pacific. Here Per uvian and United States interests coincide, military experts say, since Peru's northern Coast is strategically important with fine harbor sites which the United States could not afford to let fall into the hands of an enemy.
 Being an unmilitaristic coun- try with foreign trade depend ent on the Panama Canal, Peru recognizes the vital necessity, for the sake of self preservation, of her cooperation with the United States for hemisphere defense.
 It is this pro-Americanism, bas ed on mutual interests for mili- tary and economc defense, that the Nazi fifth columnists are at- tempting to break down with the aid of the Japanese and Italian colonies. Following the same pat tern as elsewhere, the Nazis have a large propaganda bureau dir ected by the German Legation and Consulate, financed by con tributions from the German col ony and staffed by the Trans ocean News Service experts whose heads came here osten- siby to cover the Lima confer ence before the war.
 Transocean has a large radio receiving station here. It picks up propaganda from Berlin, and Germans boast they have new type ibroadcasting stations dis mantled ready to be erected as soon as Germany wins the war. They will be used, it is said, to flood South America with pro- paganda the like of which has never been seen. Recently the propaganda has been taking on more American slant as an in- dication of what it will be if victorious Nazis launch econom- ic warfare against the United States for Central and South Am erican trade.
 Here the Nazis take the same line as the Apra party, which makes denunciation of United States imperialism" the princip al part of its program. Although the Apristas are outlawed as an alleged communistic organiza- tion with international affilia- tions, they are still strong among the large Indian and mestizo

Chamber Holds
 Noon Luncheon

The regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the North western Alaska Chamber of Com merce met at the North Pole Bakery with Tom Givan as Chair man. After the reading of the minutes which were approved, the following reports were re- ceived:
 Taylor Road Completed Shortly
 Chairman Slack, Committee on Roads reported that owing to the fact that shortly the grading of the entire road from Bunker Hill to Taylor Creek will be completed and the graveling of said road will be completed up to Fox Bar which will leave only the remainder to Taylor Creek to be graveled next year, strong effort should be made to get sufficient money appropriated to complete the graveling for this coming season. He also recom- mended that the necessary i'm provements of bridges and re- pairs to the railroad be made in order to accommodate the ever-in- creasing traffic and tonnage ov- CT the railroad. He also recom- mended that the road to Solo mon via the inland route over the headwaters of the Eldorado, Flambo and Bonanza rivers be worked on. And to also extend the Snake River road to Stewart River with the intention of con- meeting it with the Teller Road which is now about completed to Gold Run.
 Ask For Mail From Anchorage
 Chairman Givan, Committee on Mails and Telegraph reported that they will present very short ly two resolutions, one to cover the establishment of mail route from Anchorage, McGrath, Unal- akleet, Nome, thereby saving sev eral days on the transportation of mail to Nome besides serving a large portion of the Second Division now without service of any note. The other resolution is to request that all classes of mails be carried in summer and winter by air in order to avoid the poor service in the delivery of papers, periodicals and parcel post where there hs been only two deliveries this summer.

working class and agricultural population.
 The German Minister, Dr. Willy Nokel, spends a large part of his time protesting against Am erican and British films that he regards as anti-totalitarian. Be- sides the British propaganda film The Lion has Wings" his complaints have resulted in stop ping such American pictures as "Confessions of Nazi Spy" "Es pionage Agent" and March of Time Refugees of Today and To- morrow" The legation also pro- tested against a speech by the rector of the University of San Marco welcoming American sum mer students last month.
 Germans show their propagan da films by invitation at private shoWings for important Peruv- ions and diplomats.
 Carl Dedering, the German con sul general here, has been act ively propagandizing anti-Semet ism and is charged with having brought pressure on German firms to discharge Jewish em- poyes last year.
 The Nazi propaganda bureau has been so enlarged since the war that it has overfloWed the legation and consulate and taken quarters on the top floor of the Bolivar Hotel, from which Trans ocean distributes bulletins, pam phlets, etc, to newspapers, radio stations, business houses. govern ment offices and diplomats.
 Italians Less Active
 The German colony is a we'll organized unit of about 5000, mostly business men and their families. The Italian colony is larger, about 1000, but less close ly organized, as Italians tend to intermarry and become assimil- ated in Peruvian national life.
 The fascist organization is re- ported to be headed by the press attache of the Italian Legation, Toto Giurato and Donate di Malio, publisher of a monthly Italian magazine. Both also came here to "cover" the Lima confer ence. They conduct totalitarian propaganda, but it is not regard ed as so effective or dangerous as that of the Nazis.
 The Italians include many of the Wealthiest men in Peru, who for years have Wielded great in- fiuence through control of large banking and commercial organiz ations. This power has been less ened during the Prado admins tration, which also recently dis missed the Italian mission that trained the Peruvian police.
 What is regarded as the great est fifth column menace in Peru is the Japanese colony, estimated at 30,000. This is a closely knit organization of government of ficials, business men, small store keepers, farmers and gardeners forming an 'ethnic island" in the midst of the Peruvian nation. It is established to the satisfaction of responsible Americans here that Japanese Army and Navy Reserve officers are here in con- siderable numbers and that re- ports of Japanese fishing boats taking soundings up and down the Peruvian coast have a fact ual foundation.
 Japanese Immigrants Barred
 That the Peruvian Govern ment shares the popular fear of the Japanese is shown in the fact that immigration recently has been suspended. President Man

on Aviation reported that oW- ing to the present rate of set ting of the airport runway 1t will be necessary to have an ap- propriation of about $20,O00 to spread at least another two feet of gravel on said field and 1t is evident that it should be done soon on account of the present weather that has prevailed re- gently. It has softened the field to such an extent that it is nee essary to have this done as soon as possible. It is recommended that effort should be made to have at least 5000 appropriated for the immediate repair of the Dahl Creek field, $500 for the Pilgrim Springs field, as well as another 5000 for the Taylor Creek field as all these fields are becoming dangerous due to lack of maintainence funds.
 Chairman Lomen, Committee on Mining and New Industries, recommended that the Commis- sioner of Mines for the Territory of Alaska be furnished with larg CT appropriations and a larger personnel for the Nome office to carry on the good work of the Department in the investigation of the mining resources of Al aska.

BY FRED H. MORHART, Jr.
A French mission travelling in this
country ostensibly to inspect air.
ports and airport runways is, in
reality, gathering information which
is of vital Importance to the de-
fenses of the Maginot Line.
The National Airport at Gravelly
Point was of particular interest to
the visitors and information they
obtained concerning the building of
the airport is expected to play a
considerable part in future work
behind the French defenses. Army
engineers and scientists of the
Bureau Of Roads of the Agriculture
Department have developed the use
of local materials to such an extent
that the French government felt 1t
necessary to send several experts to
Washington to collect first-hand
information.
The Germans have developed a
system of shoot t-and-run" whereby
heavy guns on mobile bases are fired
and rushed off to another point for
repeat performance. The Nazis
developed this system to counteract
the accurate spotting system of the
French.
Would Develop Similar Strategy.
The French, to combat the Ger
man "hit-and-run" method, sent the
mission to this country to study
roadway and airport runway con-
struction in an effort to develop a
similar strategy, it is understood.
Veterans of the World War will re-
call the muddy sickness of French
communication lines. This is hoped
to be avoided in the present conflict
by following, for one thing, the
methods used at Gravelly Point.
Using local materials, the runways
at Gravelly Point have been de-
signed and built in such a manner
that they will Withstand operations
by the heaviest planes for many
years to come. In addition. engi-
neers on the project say that field
guns would do little or no harm to
the runways should they be dragged
around the airport.
The system used in the case of
Gravelly Point was to dredge out
the runways and then fill them with
river gravel and sand mixture pro-
portioned with earth taken from
nearby Virginia hills. The system,
primarily developed by the Bureau
of Roads for the first time has heen
given thorough workout by Army
engineers constructing the landing
field.
The French sent the mission to
Washington as soon as the runways
had reached a state of stability.
Daily the Army engineers have been
testing the stability and strength of
the lanes by rolling heavily loaded
multi-wheeled trailers over them.
The tonnage of the testing apparatus
approaches that of the heavy field

Freedom Of Press,
Service 10 Readers
On Editors Agenda
Post-Dispotch Contempt
Case to Be Taken Up at
Session Starting Tomorrow

With European journalism blackeo
out by government control and cen.
sorship, United States editors will
meet tomorrow to determine how
better to serve newspaper readers
and face two instances of purported
infringement Of press freedom by
courts.
Donald ]. Sterling, managing edi-
tor Of the Oregon Journal and presi-
dent of the American Society OF
Newspaper Editors, which meets to-
morrow and Friday at the National
Press Club, said one of the most
important" topics for discussion will
be the contempt citation against the
st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Ralph Coghlan, editor of the edi-
torial page for the Dispatch
who was fined 5000 and sentenced
to 20 days last week for criticizing
the dismissal of an extortion suit
against a State representative, is
expected to speak. Daniel R. Fitz-
patrick, nationally famous cartoon
LIST OF that paper, also was fined 500
and sentenced to 10 days. The
case has been appealed. The other
contempt citation was returned
against the Los Angeles Times.
"Must Resist Oppression"
Mr.. Sterling acknowledged that
freedom of the press is liberty to
be cherished and not a license to
be exploited" but added:
BY the same token it follows that
any attempted oppression of press
freedom must be resisted to the
very limit that liberty permits"
Newspapers in this country are
better than ever before and are far
ahead Of those in other countries in
presenting their primary object
printing the news.
I'VE have free press" he de-
clared in an interview. with a
free press no democracy has ever
fallen. Without it no democracy
has ever survived"
Cognizant that publishing is a
vastly expensive procedure, and that
the modern, mplti-edition newspa-
per requires the best business meth
ods, Mr.. Sterling added:
I'm order to survive, newspapers
have to be solvent. In being solvent
they aren't subservieent."
Cites Circulation Gain.
Newspaper circulation has in
creased AZ per cent in the last 20
years, despite a population gain of
only "a per cen, he declared, and this
is indicative that the public are
finding the newspaper of increasing
value.
"A newspaper represents the, So
ciety 1t serves" he said. Papers
OF so years ago were very dull, but
the readers of that time would
probably consider our present news
papers very famboyant."
The hundreds of Washington cor
respondents may be shocked, but
Mr.. Sterling considers local news
more important than news emanat-
Ing from the Nations Capital.

new YORK TAKES
TWO FROM TIGERS
Yankees Get Good Pitching
And Walk Away With Con-
tests, 4-3 And AZ

NEW YORK, Aug. 20-R-The
unpredictable New York Yankees to-
day got what they've needed all year
good pitching-and so they blasted
the Detroit Tigers by 4.3 and AZ in
a doubleheader before 30,346 fans.
In the first game Charley CThe
Red Ruffing let the Tigers down
with eight hits to win his 18th vic
tory of the season. He almost ran
afoul of trouble in the ninth when
Pete Fox opened with a homer and
Pinch Hitter Tucker Stainback
doubled with one out. However, Red
bore down and forced the next two
hitters to pop out.
Schoolboy Rowe, who came from
his mothers bedside in St. Louis to
pitch the first game, gave up all the
Yankee runs before he was lifted
for a pinch hitter in the seventh.
He was considerably shaken up in
the second inning when he collided
with George Selkirk.
In the nightcap, young Ernie Bon
ham, the kansas City recruit pitch
ed strongly to register his second
victory of the year with an eight
hit performance. The Yanks bunch
ed the same number of hits effec-
lively in the first and fifth innings
to score twice in each frame.
The double victory, combined with
a split between the White Sox and
Athletics, put the Yanks back In a
tie for fourth with Chicago, while
the Tigers dropped four and a half
games back of the Cleveland Indians
who beat the Red Sox liz.
