HE SAID HE'D DO TT

With the news of the fall of Paris and disnte grafton of French resistance being told in the news papers of today it is interesting to look back few years into the pages of Men Kampf and find how Hitler proposed to overthrow France
 Here are the words of Adolf Hitler, before he to power Germany:
 When I start to make war, I shall suddenly and in the midst of peace let my troops appear in Paris. They will come wearing French uniforms. They will march through the streets and in clear daylight. Nobody will dream of stepping them. Everything will have been prepared long beforehand and in the mnutest details These troops will march into the buildings of the French general staff and before anybody knows what has happened they will have occupied all the ministries and Parliament
 By the use of such methods, within a few minutes time, Austria, France, Poland or any other country will be at my mercy The people will be an army without officers. The confusion will be indescribable But long before my have come I shall have established contact with certain local personalities who will then come forward and will establish new government, a government which will do bid it do. a .a.
 We need not buy them. Why should we? They will come to me out of their free will, driven by ambition or through sheer blindness. And we shall have peace before we have had For that which is held to be impossible must invariably succeed My own Storm Troopers, disguised as peaceful visitors will have filtered in long before hand and nobody will anything in them except just peaceful travellers bound on little holiday.
 To-day nobody will believe me when I speak this way but will do just exactly that and I will also send soldiers by ordinary commercial airplane So what do I care about a Magnot line? My pur- pose will be to destroy the enemy from within and not from without. And it is my duty to destroy the morale of the people I intend to attack long before I attack them and to demoralize them so thoroughly that they won't be able to think of the possibility of defending themselves
 Any one of us who has been at the front and
The Daily Alaska empire., 1940-06-19

knows what war means will agree that this make: sense-that everything is permissible as long as il saves one single drop of our valuable German blood and therefore panic has to be my most important method of attack-a panic which will cause such confusion of ideas and sentiments that all idea oi resistance will be amed.
 "All this I confess it, have learned from the Bolsheviks for one always learns most of all from ones enemies Keep this in mind and then you will know what you have to do when the time comes Does anybody really think I am such fool as to want to start war the way it was done by those idiots of the year of 1914? No the trouble is that most people high up in government are completely lacking in imagination I am not, and this, there fore, is what I will do.
 Now France has been beaten by the man who talked this way few years ago. While treachery and deception undoubtedly played large part in the Nazi victory the drive of the German army in a war started very much it by those idiots of the year of 1914s really responsible for the outcome The world prays that this new war will end too as that of 1914 did

 Impartial observers in Washington who watched his work found that Charles Edison a good Secretary of the Navy-as good if not better than the average over the last two decades. From 1883 to the present tme course the real Secretary of the Navy has been Franklin D. Roosevelt who was the Departments up and coming assistant secretary during the World War.
 It is no reflection on the Presidents knowledge of naval affairs to suggest that Edsons resignation at this critical moment provides MT. Roosevelt with the opportunity to place strong man in the post one whose outstanding ability will be nationally recognized.

Stimson has authorized command

Congress has made no provision
for increasing the number OF K

the fact that some 200 universities

Department cooperation in estab-
fishing units. The Army General
Staff had informed Congress there
was no need for additional Reserve
officers above the usual 5000 stu
dents graduating each year from
r. o. T. c. courses.
Refusal of Congress and the Army

result of the existing emergency
led many institutions to fear that
the summer encampments would be
eliminated because of the general
mobilization of the National Guard
and draftees. The instructions is

Graduates who have completed
the four-year training course may
be commissioned as Reserve lieu
tenants provided they have also
attended a camp Of practical in

WORK TO BEGIN ON
ADDITION TO HOSPITAL

Contract for construction of the
proposed addition to Peninsula Gen
eral Hospital will be let within a
week or ten days, William S. Gordy,
Jr., president of the Board of Direc-
tors of the institution, said last week
following a study of bids opened for
the construction work.
Actual construction work will be
begun in March.
The addition will virtually double
the hospitals bed capacity.
eve think we are practically with
in the budget" Mr.. Gordy said.
"It looks now as though the build
ing eliminating finishing individual
rooms in the basement which are not
necessary now but completing the
first, second and third floors as now
laid out) can be finished for slightly
more than $15O,OO0. The balance
finishing Of the basement-ca be
done from time to time in coming
years as funds are available.
The total cost including a minimum
of necessary equipment, should not
exceed $4,000, he said.
Seven bidders on the construction
work varied $4,000 in their price be-
tween the highest and lowest. The
low bidder was the Engineering Con-
struction Company of Baltimor.
The addition when complete will
expand the hospitals normal facilities
from SO beds to 174-almost double.
At present, with overcrowding of
wards and placing beds in the corri-
doris, the institution can accommodate
ITO.
The addition will be in the form of
an L, with the top of the L connect
ed with the east side of the main build
ing, two thirds of the way back, by
a corridor on each floor. The base of
the L will run back to the rear of the
main building.
From the outside, the addition will
match the rest of the hospital, with
the same face Of brick used in con-
struction.
