Current Comments Written From
 Washington

In the normal and everyday life of Washington, excitement has so larg. a part that it takes something entirely out of the or dinary to attract attention. A fire in the Munitions Building, with rumors of sabotage, afforded a momentary thrill, but soon drop ped out of sight as a topic of conversation. The warning was applicable to the individual home rather than to the nation. For once, Hitler was cleared, the quilt being divided between a cigarette butt and an electric wire.

EDITORIAL
HERE'S YOUR HAT, HERR DRAEGER
Philadelphia Record)

German sources in Washington admit that Dr. Friedhelm Draeg- CT, German Vice Consul in New York has been acting as Gauleit- CT of the Nazi party in the Unit ed States.
 They insist that's nothing un- usual; Gauleiter Draeger merely collects dues and gives party in Structions to the 1000 or so Nazis who are in this country on of ficial business. Draeger, they say, has nothing to do with Ameri- can citizens in his capacity as Gauleiter.
 In the first place, we doubt if Draeger can or does separate his functions as Vice Consul from his functions as Gauleiter (dis- trict leader for the United Stat es). As Vice Consul he meets many Americans of German eX- traction who are trying to get in touch with relatives in Germany.
 Individuals in that position can be put under pressure by threats of what will happen to their rel ativeS in Germany. They can be made into tools of a German or ganization in the United States.
 Even if Draeger could separate his functions, this country would not be justified in allowing a foreign Vice Consul to function as a Gauleiter. There are cer- tain kinds of political activity which diplomatic and consular representatives aren't supposed to carry on in the countries to which they are accredited. Draeg CTS activity clearly violates dip lomatic custom.
 If it doesn't our State Depart ment still might stretch point and notify the German Govern mant that Gauleitsr Draeger is persona non grata here.
 That means we don't want him and to get out-quick.

December Issue Of Alaska Sportsman Is Most Attractive

A full natural-color photo graph on the cover of the Decem- Der Number of the Alaska Sports man, which has just been sent to neWsstands and subscribers, makes this issue of "Alaska's Magazine" one of the most attrac tive yet published.
 This cover picture, the first to appear in natural color, is from Kodachrome transparency of a hunting scene on the Kenai Pen insula taken by John Utterson, Seattle sportsman, well-knoWn in Alaska. It is strikingly true to the grandeur of Alaska scenery, and will be of great value pub licizing Alaska's attractions in the States" where over 100000 persons read The Alaska Sports man in addition to those who en- joy the magazine in Alaska.
 The December issue is an all- round good magazine, with five interesting full-length Alaska ar ticles, which are illustrated by over twenty Alaska photographs and the usual entertaining car toon and Alaska Oddities featur- es.
 First in the magazine is His torical Sitka Steps Out" by Richard A. Ramme, an article which reviews the glamorous past of this city and brings 1t up to its present period of bustling growth.
 The fierce, gusy Taku winds, which jufp off the mountains and glaci-rs back of Juneau with an eighty -mile-an-hour punch that has worried more than one good mariner are described in the ar ticle "A Taku is Blowing" by L. F. Barr.

sounds very much like the trump etings of Adolf. It is to be sus- pected that the policy of the Vichy government is not alone the result of force applied.
 One cannot excuse the French on the ground that the easiest way to get rid of a bitter pill is to swallow it. Vice Premier Laval steps over boldly into the ranks of the out and out propag- andists, having allegedly assured his fe low countrymen that Dem oCracy is dead throughout the world. This dismal truth is that the Vichy regime is pretty well saturated with Nazi philosophy.
 MT. Hitler's latest suggestion. although not thoroughly disclos- ed as to details secms to amount to placing African colonial pos sessions in a common pot, from which Germany, France and It. ally anl Spain can dip: of course with the proviso that the rules and regulations to be enforced in Europe will apply in Africa also.
 The alluring programme offer ed may have been listened to with willing ears in Spain and France. Italy did well for her self, and without any axis sug- gestions. when she absorbed Eth iopia. The happy African family scheme may not appeal strongly to the Duce.

Physicians look with ill favor upon a plan to socialize their profession. Since doctors of med ecine constitute a respectable and important class, the Presi- dent has acted wisely when, in a recent speech, he pointed out that it was proposed merely to make medical care available for those who could not pay for it, and to secure cooperation be tween the Federal government and those practicing the healing art.
 Now that England, for the mo- ment has been granted a breath ing spell as to falling bombs, she is being afforded an opportunity to plan for the health of the in habitants during the next few months. A British winter never : is a season of healthful joy and the war will make no assisting contribution. England can bear testimony to the act that a friend ly working relation between the government and the doctor is a good thing.
