TWO NEW PLANES DUE FAIRBANKS

Flying in formation all the way from Seattle two new plan es to be based at the municipal airport are expected in Fair banks this week.
 At the controls of the ships are Noel Wien, vice-president of Wien Alaska Airlines, and Sam o. White, wildlife agent of the Alaska Game Commission.
 Wien and White planned to take off from Seattle Monday or Tuesday, according to word re- ceived in Fairbanks. They in- tended to fly the route leisurely taking two or three days for the run.
 Wien, accompanied by his wife is bringing in a fve-pace Stinson to be placed in service by Wien Alaska AiriineS. White will be piloting a Fairchild 24 for use in game commission patrol out of Fairbanks. White flew the Fairchild from the factory in Maryland to Seattle.

JAPANESE ARMY INTO
 INDO-CHINA SOON

HANOI, Sept. Is - Authorit- ative French, Japanese and other foreign sources expressed the be- lief early developments may bring the Japanese army to this French possession probably with out resistance from the French, but this, they said, may prompt China to send armies across the colonial frontier to lead a con- flict which may mean the begin- ming of the end for Frances 60- year domination of this 23O,O0O square mile area of eastern Asia.
 French sources said an Indo- China mission was sent to the United States early in July but failed to obtain 200 warplanes and other material which it sought.

Captain Copenhaver found a staff of five men in his depart ment already in Fairbanks.
 Major Vitzhun said he will handle Signal Corps work, out side of that now carried on thru the Alaska Communications sys tenn of the Corps. This will in clude chiefly official army dis patches both to the States and inter-post, and local telephone or other communications setups.
 The major presumed man will be assigned to Ladd Field as signal officer. He was unable to state whether the appointee will be a Signal Corps or Air Corps man.
 There is a possibility Major Vitzhun may head the entire communications staff of the AL aska Defense Force, although no official orders to this effect have yet been received.
 Major Davis and Major Vitz- hun flew to Nome last Saturday.

Alien Registration

Some surprise is being expressed at the number of aliens registered in Waterbury up to midnight, December 26, the legal limit for such enrolment. However, on the basis of facts and figures that have been submitted from time to time of recent years we should have been pre- pared for this revelation And the same is equally true in other industrial centerS of the state, such as Hartford, Bridgeport, New Haven, New Britain, etc. They show similar proportion of aliens.
 Now that registration has been accom- plished with apparently little fuss and with a minimum of effort, there remains the more important task of convincing more than bare majority of these aliens resident within our own confines that American citizenship is to be coveted these days and certainly not ignored. Many of those who registered in the last few months are no doubt engaged in the process of seeking citizenship papers. For some this is no easy task, involving as 1t often does considerable schooling.
 But there are many in this group that completely ignore the opportunity at hand of becoming American citizens, although they are quite content to re- main with us for the rest of their lives. This check-up at least may accomplish one purpose in making those aliens in Connecticut and other states feel that SO long as they remain such they are just bit outside the American citizen class, although they seem to enjoy equal privileges under our laws.

ice. The fine new American ships are appearing in ports and on shipping lanes that almost never saw the American flag before. When these ships are all com pleted, the United States will have a new fleet of 1,500,000 tons, all built to naval specifications, including the only tanker fleet capable of Steaming at naval fleet speed and big enough to keep a naval force at sea indefinitely More than 100,- 900 men are now at work in 23 American Shipyards operating some 84 shipways.
 Most of these ships are unspectacular, but beautiful, Seaworthy, fast, and eff cient The America, finest passenger liner ever built in the western hemisphere, is not equal in size to leviathans like the Queen Mary or the Normandie, but the usefulness of such ships is open to ques- tion, and for it's size the America has no superior in the world. Two more such ships are planned for the Pacific pas Senger trade, both built so as to be quick ly convertible into airplane carriers. While the shipping of the world goes down in the whirlpool of war, America is building ships to do the worlds hauling. They are vital auxiliary of defense, and hope. for future trade and travel They are living demonstration that foresight paws.

Daniel Frohman

The dean of threatrical producers, Danield Frohman, lived to a ripe old age, as the expression goes His death at the age of eighty nine this week re- moves famous figure from the theatri- cal scene Of course MT. Frohman had been dissociated from active work in the theater for a number of years, but he remained in close touch with things theatrical and his interest was still keen, so much so that he maintained studio over playhouse in the theatrical district in New York.
 MT. Frohman's death removes one of our greatest ShoWmen. He was the out standing figure in the theatrical world during more than two generations ot actors covering about sixty years. Most any actor of importance reached the height of fame when presented by Froh- man, and play was made when pro- duced by Frohman. He had a smart intuition in selecting plays and players. He was attracted to theatrical life via the circus as has been the case with many big theatrical figures; the circus is just a step to legitimate drama which was his cup of tea through many years. There is an endless list of great names of the theater associated with Frohman, includ- ing, E. H. Sothern, Julia Marlowe, Will liam Faversham, Maude Adams, Rich ard Mansfield, Isabel Irving, Henrietta Crossman, Mary Mannering, James K. Hackett, and scores of others, whose names mean little to the persent gener- ation but are very precious to those of the older generation
 Professor William Lyon Phelps of Yale sums up Frohman's character briefly in the words: "Mr Frohman is the hap piest and most vital man in New York today (the occasion few years ago at dinner in his honor) because he has spent his life giving other people happiness. " MT. Frohman did many unique things among them the writing of his own obit- uary in 1888. AS death approached he accepted and realized the fact remarking a short time previously, "The curtain is about to fall"

Keeping Wage-Price Balance

The United States is going to have to walk a precarious tight-rope during the next few years between prices and wages. We are not at war, and we may not be at war, yet something very close to war economy has been forced upon us.
 In such an economy, prices of ordinary civilian goods tend to rise, because so much of national production and energy is drained off into war goods, that civilian goods tend to fall behind demand and thus rise in price. To meet these rises, wages must increase in proportion if standards are to be maintained. In European war economy countries these relationships have been maintained by bullyragging and bullet
 Democratic Canada is in advance of us in facing these problems. It has managed to keep a balance between wages and prices by a Wartime Prices and Trade Board. It is now setting up conciliation boards which will try to keep wages and living costs in adjustment. Canadian experience in these matters ought to be of the greatest value to the United States - we should chart closely the trail they have blazed.

Old Glory On Seas Again

Four years ago, when the Merchant Marine Act was passed, some people said, "There goes lot more money down the rat hole. But now the ships are coming off the ways at a one-a-week rate, and they look good. They are putting Old Glory back on the seas on something of the scale of Clipper days, and they give the Navy the kind of auxiliary ship back ing that it must have.
 Suppose the United States had con- fronted it's preparedness emergency six months ago with no more foresight in regard to ships than it showed before the World Warl Then 90 per cent of American commerce was carried in for eign ships; we literally had no merchant marine worthy of the name. Even when the new construction program got under way two years ago, the United States merchant fleet was 90 per cent obsolete. But because we passed the act in 1886 and began active construction in 1888, what different picture greets us today:
 Of 170 ships whose construction began in 1888, 84 have been launched and 54 have been completed and are now in serv-

Borrowing in anticipation of taxes is common trait among American munic- ipalities Of course it's life-saver, too, for if cities and towns couldn't get this money they'd have to let their hired employees go without pay in many in- stances. That's due to the fact that the fiscal year and the tax year of most local governments fail to coincide. One starts at one time, the other at another. As a result there is an overlap which makes it necessary for funds to be provided to carry over from one tax-due date to the next one. It would be ideal if all munici- palities could arrange their taX-due dates so that funds would be on hand from week to week, month to month to pay off all bills, while tax funds were piling up for another lengthy period. But just the reverse seems to happen. When you can borrow million dollars, though, for only $607 interest you're getting out of it pretty cheaply. And that's just what Waterbury has done to tide it's financial affairs over through the winter and early spring.

Him the fields were always white unto harvest, and He commanded His followers to beseech God that the hearts of men might be touched to the fulfilling of these needs. A third command was. Pray for them that despitefully use you" This is hard counsel for everyone in every age. It is only when we aspire to be like God Himself that he can actu- ally pray for those who deal with us maliciously.
 Last of ali. He commanded His disciples, Watch and pray that ye enter not into temptation" This was almost the last command He gave them. They were to watch like sentinels against the onslaught of besetting sins and to strengthen their hearts by prayer that they might withstand the seductions of evil
