ALASKA VULNERABLE

This week the peoples of the world listened to one of the most astounding demands of modern times. perhaps Of all times. II was the terms by which Messers. Hitler and Mussoliui agreed 10 call off their war attack on France
 Although not entirely unexpected in view of the demands made by the dietators during the past few years. il came as a distinct shock to the world. astounding in the very fact that those of us in America at least, little realized that the French defeat Was so complete. Marshal Pe- tain. the old French general of S4, sought what he termed was a peace with honor What he got as this is written is dishonor with no assur- ance of peace. Perhaps the French people will light on. 10 what appears to be certain eXtermination. perhaps they will aecede and become serfs Of the dictator nations With bombs falling in increasing numbers on the British Isles. their choice is Very limited
 The Hitler-AIussolinf terms for armistice and peace to touch just a few highlights. included uneon- ditional surrender of not only the French forces but all forces which have taken up arms against Ger many; the division of France and French possessions between Ger many and Italy and the turning over of all French gold, credits, commercial and industrial organiz- ation to German control Only a completely defeated nation with no hope for the future could accept such terms. The French being just as loyal Frenchmen as the Hitler forces are German may submit but il is probable they will never be conquered.
 < * * *
 In the meantime. the United States took another step leading just bit closer to war. The Presi- dent backed by a resolution from Congress, informed Hitler and Mus solini that this country would never permit lands in the western hemis- phere to be turned over to any fore ign power which was taking them through aggression by military force. In brief, he said the Monroe Doctrine is still very much in effect
 Almost throwing distance from the coast of Florida are French and British owned islands. In South A. merica are French Guiana, British Guiana and Netherlands Guiana. And, of course, there is our own good neighbor, Canada, on the north. In a few words, any action by the dictators toward taking over any of these possessions will auto matically plunge Uncle Sam into war.
 Anticipating just such a thing, full speed ahead has been ordered toward building up the greatest air power, navy and army on earth It is to be hoped that the action is not too late to prevent heavy losses of men, equipment and possibly land areas
 In the latter category, Alaska is a fitting example For years the cry has been defense of the Pacific and Alaska. Much has been done, but not enough. There is little today to prevent warship or two with a couple of bombing planes to take over any strategic spot in the Ter ritory in few hours. Our rest pro- lection may be that nobody wants it for the time being. But it cannot

 PEIRISGOPE

Fight on the liquor referendum which goes before the voters in the fall election to gel their verdict on whether they want territorial con- uol of liquor has started. and, nat urally enough. il started in the Third Division from where came the idea of territorial control in the first instance.
 The Kodiak Chamber of Com meree has gone on record as oppos- ing the referendum, according to letters being sent out by Warren A. Taylor. Secretary of the Kodiak chamber Mr Taylor writes
 This Chamber went on record unanimously as opposing the refer endum upon the grounds that the act providing for the referendum is indefinite as to whether il applies only 10 retail liquor stores. which dispense package goods only, or whether it was an opening wedge for the Territory to take oyer the control of dispensing all liquors.
 Tt is the opinion Of the Kodiak Chamber of Commerce that if this referendum is fayorably voted upon it will deprive hundreds of residents of Alaska of an opportunity of gaining a livlihood; further, that the control of liquor in Alaska, placed under the domination of one man or a board of control will tend to build up a political machine far more powerful than any heretofore in Alaska"
 * a
 The referendum, as you will re- call, was passed by the last Legis- lature after being presented by Re- presentatiYe J. P. Anderson of the First Division. II was inspired by Mr. Anderson as a counter attack against a bill which had been in- troduced by Representative Harvey Smith of the Third Division calling for Territorial wholesale control Mr. Smith had quite comprehen- sive measure which would have giv- en the Territory control of every drop of liquor coming into the Ter ritory. It would have set up an of- flee in Seattle and several through out the Territory under the direc- tion of the Territorial Treasurer's liquor enforcement division. The H- quor lobby began a vigorous fight against it, fearful of being tossed out of business in the Territory. The Smith bill was gaining momentum when Representative Anderson, a strong prohibition man, dropped in his proposal for a referendum on grounds that the lawmakers were playing horse with a problem which all the people of the Terri tory should decide upon It was an out for the Legislators and they grabbed for it like a hungry trout for a fly After all, you don't stand to lose many votes by asking the

Contrary to an Associated
Press dispatch sent out from
Long Branch, N. j., under date
of April Is, stating that Coast
Guardsmen and police between
the tip of Florida and New Jer-
sey Were being asked to search
for a seaplane, unreported since
April 10, when it left Key West
for Red Bank, N. j." The plane
has not left Key West.
The plane, which is numbered
NC-25527, is at the old P. and o.

and is in good shape. It has been
hauled out on the landing space,
and with it is Mr.. Fiest, who has
been in Key West since February
10, taking up parties for air
sights of the city and keys and
making trips to Miami.
When advised of the notice
which announced that he had
been lost Mr.. Fiest contacted the
proper authorities denying the
statement and advised that he
was still at Key West, but would
probably leave for Red Bank, N.

NEARLY COMPLETED: HAN
GAR WORK TO BEGIN ON
APRIL rs

Construction of the seaplane
base at Trumbo Island for the
navy, which is under way by the
Ivy H. Smith Co., of Jacksonville,
is proceeding rapidly, according
to officers of the Public Works
office at the Naval Station, and
the company has practically
caught up with the time allowed
and is now working on an even
basis.
There were some setbackS at
the beginning of the work, it was
stated, but the Smith Company
has added another dragline to
the machinery in use, which
greatly facilitated the work. One
of the draglines is being used on
excavation work, and the other
is being used in driving piles and
keeping up other work.
The Steel Construction Com
pany of Birmingham, Ala, which
was awarded the $96,200 contract
for the fabrication and erection
of the steel frame of the huge
hangar, which will be 372 feet
long, $50 feet wide and so feet
high, will be started by the COM
pany on April Is, said Lieutenant
S. K. Wilson, U.S.N.. engineer.
The WPA work of clearing the
grounds and getting the so acre
site in shape is rapidly going
ahead and will be in readiness
when the time arrives which has
been set for its completion. The
project is sponsored by the navy
department at a cost of $4,000.

APRIL IS CANCER
Local Drive TO Start
CONTROL MONTH

The month of April has been
set aside by a special act of Con-
gress as Cancer Control Month,
and the Key West unit of the
Women's Field Army, American
Society for the control of cancer
gets under way.
AS in the past years, Mrs. M. E.
Berkowitz has been named lead
er of the forces in Key West,
and enliStmentS will be accepted
beginning Monday, April %.
Miss Susan La Kin, president
of the Junior Woman's Club, will
be in charge of the drive.
1t is hoped that the drive this
year will be as successful as that
of previous years, and that
everyone will help in the cause.
Attention is called to the fact that
the world today is ravaged by
wars of destruction and death,
and the women of America are
resolved to carry on a war for
health and life, a war against
cancer.
To women particularly, it is
pointed out, cancer has seemed
a thing of horror. 1t is fine and
encouraging then, that those
who have feared this disease
most are determined to continue
the fight to control cancer.
