passes now without the beginning of the attempt
increases the nprobabfity that invasion could sue.
coed If attempted Within another week, at the
most it can be said with reasonable assurance thai
the Germans will not undertake invasion before
next spring, or that if they do it will fail
The problem of the German High Command is
not merely to sneak a considerable body of troops
across the Channel foggy night when the water
is not too rough 1t is to move masses of troops
through superior naval power. establish them on
land in sufficient numbers to Withstand counter
attack by the new British motorized forces and then
fight campaign.
It Is the last phase of the undertaking which
suggests that Hitler already has waited too long to
undertake invasion this winter. For, though enough
favorable weather may remain to make possible an
initial troop movement across the Channel, it is
now inevitable that winter would close in before a
German expeditionary force could consolidate its
sition, on English soil
Behind the determination of the British to fight
mile mile street-forstreet for their island is
the steeled intention to leave an enemy no means OF
subsistence and show him no quarter should he
succeed in establishing bridgehead on English soil
1t largely goes without saying that German expe-
dictionary force would be subjected to ceaseless
and would be on land stripped OF all
useful material Thus the German problem would
be to provide a constant supply of achievements
along with the vast stores of food ammunition, and
other equipment which the expeditonary force would
require. Any prolonged failure of these supply lines
would result in the humiliation capture of the
expeditionary force And it is not clear how the
German High Command could assure itself that
there would be such prolonged failure, in view OF
the British command of the and the effect OF
winter upon both water and air-borne supply
facilities.
The German plan might be to supply an expe-
force by air. This was possible Tor
limited time at least, in the Norwegian expedition.
But there the enemy was not entrenched or organ
lied in numbers and the Germans had unquestioned
command of the air. Until they gain this over
Southern England invasion is impossible

GOOD OLD GOLD

Commissioner of Mines B. D. Stewards timely
comments on the world gold situation words the
Territory of Alaska should consider carefully While
one after another of the gold" countries, notably
Holland and France, have been overrun by Hitler,
imbedded British Empire the United States con-
tnues to buy and store up vast quantities of this
metal Is this wise course? Mr. Stewart and all
of the authorities on world monetary problems say
it is.
The best and safest thing for the United States
to do in the world crisis is to get hold of much
gold as possible these experts tell us.
Hitler is supposed to have said that after he has
defeated Britain he will declare gold valueless and
conduct the business of the world thereafter in credits
and barter This, says Mr.. Stewart, is plain Nazi
propaganda designed to destroy faith in our
own resources and institutions. Would Hitler be
likely the Commissioner asks. to thus throw away
one of his greatest prizes the South African
gold fields? And would Russia allow Germany to
render valueless the great Soviet gold resources?
The answer to both questions obviously, is
THE future OF gold means more to Alaska than
should lose its unique place as the basis of our
monetary system, Alaska would lose its second most
valuable industry The effect on the fortunes of
every Alaskan would be disastrous
But gold will continue to be, as it has been
since before history began, the only satisfactory
worldwide medium of exchange matter what
the outcome of the war. Stop worrying about gold,
say those who are in a position to know best. We
ale grateful for their reassurances and more than
willing to take their advice

Caifornia's forward surge in population is proof
that westward the course of empire still moves, II
by empire we understand growth The country as
a whole has added perhaps six or seven percent to
its population in the last ten years. which Is less
than half the rate of increase in preceding decades
Some states have actually lost population. But the
Golden State announces an increase OF nearly
million and quarter people.
1t is a larger absolute gain than is registered IN
New York State which started out ten years ago
with more than twice many people as California.
The latter has moved into fifth place among the
States displacing Texas and treading close on the
heels of Ohio.

rest of the state. In the history of all our cities

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compe"
TUESDAY, OCTc Der 8

Benefic aspects rule the early
hours today. Labor and capital
should be able to cooperate happily
under this configuration. The stars
frown upon public officials who
may suffer severe criticism, just
or unjust.
Heart and Home: This is not a
fortunate rule for women who
must change many customs and re-
organize their social habits. In the
United States there is reason to
avoid extravaganza. The American
scale of living is to be less gen
erous than it has been. Conserva-
ton of resources is enjoined by the
seers who warn that expenditures
for useless luxuries should be
stopped. 1t is predicted that the
sale of cosmetics will be greatly
reduced within the year.
Business Affairs: Prosperity will
continue, but this month may be
less profitable in certain lines of
business Capital will be cautious
until after the election when many
men who WELD financial power
may be disappointed. Merchants
and manufacturers will profit
greatly. CONSUMPTION of wealth,
which is one of the threats of war,
will interfere with important en-
terprises. .s.s
National Issues: Decentralization
will be more and more advocated
for business and political activi-
ties. Division of the United States
into districts including several
states will be made necessary in
defense plans, it is prophesied.
States rights will be emphasized
in many ways encouraging to ma
tional unity instead of interfering
with it. Relief problems will make
radical administrative reforms i'm
perative.
International Affairs: The death
of royal parsonage is prognosti-
Gated, but it will not affect inter-
national relations. While there are
signs read as presaging an armis-
tice before winter, the stars app
pear to promise amazing success
for the British forces on land, at
sea and in the air. While h e
British Empire will shrink in size
as estimated by extent of terri
tory-it will expand in its ultimate
power, owing to its alliance with
the greatest of democracies. Amaz-
ing events will prove that right
is victorious in the end.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of a year of sue
cess and advancement There should
be no changes in employment Or
places of residence.
Children born on this day will
be staunch, reliable and serious,
Many may have unusual talents
Judges and preachers belong to
this sign. ~

ish could strike smashing blows at
Italian industries-and Italy is the
Achilles heel of the Axis.
The naval Phys are needed in
the crucial Mediterranean struggle.
With a range of 1000 miles, these
mighty flying boats could destroy
Italian submarines, transports and
supply ships. Italy has to transport
everything she needs in her Afri-
can offensive across the Mediter-
ranean, and the Phys could cripple
this jugular vein.
These planes also are needed to
meet the impending assault on
Gibraltar, key to the British con-
troll of the Mediterranean. TIL y

manufacturers, who would sell them
to the British and credit the Army
and Navy with the funds on pur-
chase of new and better ships.

planes direct across the Atlantic,
