 Alaska Census Supervisor J. P. Anderson and probably some others here displaying proudly these days Is basic maps Con one large sheet of Environment and Conflict in Europe" valuable graphic study prepared by the American Geographi- cal Society of New York
 It is explained that environment" means those circumstances of nature and society under which the several nations of Europe living to- day And by conflict is meant both the war and the wider clash of national interests beyond the frontiers of the belligerent States. As this collection of maps has been made during period of extreme uncertainty and change, it covers large areas and gives international basis for movement into the future
 The main map comprises the whole of Central Europe with bordering regions and shows the prin- cipal features of the terrain Surrounding maps show the routes to the Far East the British life line" through the Mediterranean Red Sea and In- dian Ocean, the approaches from Russia both south ward and eastward, density of population through out Europe, spheres of influence of the various nations and boundaries of 1914 1919 and today

Guam Is Still With Us
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 Rather than antagonize Japan, Congress last year eliminated from it's navy supply bill an item of several millions of dollars for improvement of the harbor at Guam But the item, reduced to S4OOOOO0 is back in the budget this time in a more inconspcuous position which might facilitate t approval Some members of Congress, at least, bent making issue of it, out of sheer stubbornness, if no better appears
 If they make enough noise, however, a reason will develop, because Japan will feel obligation to issue warnings that she would be insulted and threatened by his harbor improvement. Once Tokyo newspapers print editorials in threatening tone, members of Congress will have a proper basis for their hostility to the 100000 item
 This is all a rather ridiculous procedure In the first place, there is whatever for of Japan'S wishes. In the second place. the Navy has present plans for fertilization of Guam or for its development as an unfortified base All that is proposed is to improve the harbor there so that naval vessels and planes using the harbor could do so with greater safety.
 If and when proposal to develop fortified base Guam arises the time will be ripe for a full dress debate, because forfication of that island will be a serious step. It might be justified but only if it the ends of our political foreign policy in the Far Eastern region. Meantime it is ridiculous to treat harbor improvement at Guam as great issue in world politics It is nothing of the sort.

ANOTHER MYTH SHATTERED

War is the great iconoclast, destroying long held myths One of these myths has been that democracy, by it's very nature, could successfully defend itself against the concentrated power developed under a dictatorship
 Will any believe that again in the face of Ffnands resistance to Russia? Here is a tiny democracy fighting complete and colossal dictator ship against fantastic odds Whatever the final outcome may be, two months of battle should dis sipate the myth of democratic weakness and in- efficiency. Solidarity has been all on the side of self-ruled people outnumbered forty to one.
 Since 1927 the Russian masses have been told that they must sacrifice everything that makes life worth living, including their civil rights to provide an nvincible army. Now their invincble army has been flung against a free nation and stopped in it's tracks. The Films know what they fighting for They fight without compulsion. Twenty years of democracy have provided them with resources, spri- tual and material, that stand them in good stead

Scrip" in Germany
(NeW York TimeS)

(NeW 4OrK IlneS)
 Why does the German Government propose to pay 10 percent of the German workers wages in scrip? It might be supposed that government with as far-reaching authority over prices, wages and the whole economic system that prevailing in Germany would resort to outright credit or currency imitation for such funds it could not raise by taxation loans. Apparently the answer lies partly in the fear of imitation that is still heritage of the dark days of 1922 and 1923.
 Details of the plan have not been given out, but it to be similar to that recently proposed by the economist J. M Keynes for Great Britain. It is essentially scheme for a forced" loan. It would presumably be more palatable than further increase in the onerous tax rates because of the implied repayment at some indefinite future date while it's compulsory character would enable it to tap funds beyond the reach of voluntary loans.
 At the same time, by curtailing the consumers free purchasing power it would to reduce the demand for the dwndling supplies of clothing and other consumer merchandise. Otherwise, the de- mand for the limited supplies of goods might be- come great as to break down the existing stringent price control and send prices Skyrocket ing, with disastrous effects on both government finances and the nations living standards.
