 Graft at Juneau

A parade of sumptuous yachts up Gastineau Channel is a regular sea- sonal phenomenon in Juneau. AL aska, with it's unparalleled maritime scenery and thousands of miles Of seacoast, is one of the favorite cruiS- ing areas for yachtsmen the world over.
 Distinguished visitors to the port last summer were their graces, the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, whose trim vessel SanSpeur called here on August l6. The Earl of Warwick was among the passeng- CTS.
 The Fantome, owned by A. E.. Guiness and having on board that famous English stout manufacturer himself, dropped anchor in Cas- tineau Channel June 20.
 Another large yacht calling here during 1889 was the Fleischman ship Haida, whose name was confus- ing to Juneauites because the Coast Guard cutter here is also a Haida
 Other yachts calling here last summer were the ampbell-Church ship Westward, which stopped in June enroute south with a party of hunters and II bear; the Wool worth yacht Nopara, here June 10 enroute to Nome, and the Paragon owned by William A. Bartholomae, wealthy oil man, which made port August 15

wasn't very encouraging.
 T discovered that one of the ho- tel attaches was a former Iowa boy who knew northwest Iowa perfectly. We had a very friendly chat. He expressed him self quite plainly about Juneau in particular and AL aska in general. It was not all der ogatory either He spoke of the man ner of handling tourists as he termed us, and criticised it quite intelli- gently, I thought While I am not criticizing the hospitality of Alas kans, I am free to admit that some of their efforts were misguided"
 Fred M Rolens in The South Pasadena California Review:
 "The passenger list included, be- side our party of two hundred and forty, young folk going home after attending school in the states, mis- Sionaries returning to duty, sales men on their routes into Alaska. We had passengers returning to their homes in Juneau, Cordova, Valdez, Seward, for Palmer, Fair banks, Anchorage, Talkeetna, and the islands of the far north. They always referred to the States as outside and Alaska as going in. Without exception, they were all happy to be on their way home, and were constant in their praise of their particular part of Alas ka."
 J. s. Kroh, in the Keith County News, Ogallala, Nebraska:
 One man interested in Alaska expressed himself in the following manner: One of the great draw backs to development of Alaska is the unusual amount of remote control of different industries and projects, including transportation, the fishing industry, mining and farming in the Matanuska colony "
 Charles w. Baum, in The Central Press, Perkasie, Pennsylvania:
 Juneau Prosperity
 Streets in Juneau are narrow and crooked, indicating that the original settlers did not plan permanent city, but regardless of the plans, or lack of plans, of the early settlers, Juneau grew and prospered and there is every indication that its future is assured. It is the largest city in Alaska.
 "The folks here are congenial and hospitable and apparently well satisfied with their lot"

Let Christmas Be Merry

America has experienced many crises in
its troubled existence, but none more COM

under threat of war. Our business index is
higher than a decade ago, but millions OF
workers are idle. We are arming at a ire

conflict may pass us by. We have boarded

A Foolish Proposal

Italy's entry into the war was a blow rather
than an aid to Germany. No one doubts that,
any longer. While Italy was Germany's aide
on the sidelines Hitler had access to Italian
resources which were cut off the moment Mus
solini tied himself to the tail of Hitler's war
kite. Now, Hitler must come to his rescue or
the Axis must suffer a severe blow to its
prestige.
Relatively, but from entirely different pur-
poses, the United States is in something Of
the same situation toward Britain that Italy
was toward Germany. Britain has access to
our resources. Furthermore, the United States
is pouring battle equipment and other sup
plies into England as fast as our industries
can be geared for that purpose. We have de-
clared "all-out'' aid to Britain. We are of
infinitely more help to her in this way than
we could hope to be as an actual war ally.
This is so obvious that one wonders how
any person, official or private citizen, on either
side of the Atlantic can advance ideas which
it carried out inevitably would plunge the
United States into the conflict. Thus, the state
ment, or hope, or wish, or whatever it was,
voiced by the minister of shipping at London,
that Axis ships in American waters be turned
over to Britain was foolish and dangerous and
never should nave been permitted space in
any newspaper.
Britain needs ships sorely, and we want to
help her acquire them, but not by theft. To
seize the vessels under Axis registry in Ameri-
can waters would be to employ Hitler's meth
DDS and certainly would give the Axis an ex-
cuse to declare war on us. That might or
might not mean something, according to the
Axis ability to come here to attack us. 1t
would assuredly weaken our ability to aid
Britain for our entire effort would then have
to be concentrated on defense against in
%vasion.
The world crisis is great, but not great
enough to justify, more of this kind of loose
thinking and foolish talking.

New British Ambassador

The new ambassador from Great Britain,
Viscount Halifax, is to be warmly greeted
at Washington. Authorized spokesman says a
Washington dispatch, declare his appointment
s'eminently satisfactory" But so far as the
average American is concerned, the most sat
isfactory phase of the appointment probably
is the elevation of Anthony Eden to the post
OF foreign minister. which Halifax gives up.
Lord Halifax, whose association with Pre-
mier Chamberlain during the appeasement era
is not easily forgotten, despite his present en-
thusiasm for the war policies of Winston Chur-
chill, will face a doubly hard situation in this
country. He must not only replace a particu-
larly popular and able ambassador, Lord Lo-
THAN, but must also overcome a latent pre-
JUDGE that stems from his appeasement days.
Hopefully, he will measure up in both require
ments.
The relations between Britain and the Unit.
ed States are too close to be subjected to any
unnecessary strain. It is not far-fetched to
see in the services required Of the new am
bassador a factor in the success or failure
of British war aims. It is up to him to show
this country how it can best strengthen Brit.

our power to help, there must be efficient
guidance at the British embassy. This, we
