A POLICY OF MYSTERY

Italy seems to have taken the place of the Sovie
Union the great enigma of European politics
Officially, Italy is an ally of Germany, but a non
belligerent The Italian controlled press is con.
sistently pro- German; but it has its moments Of
fierceness, depending the requirements of the
government from week to week. italian public
opinion is believed strongly for peace with definite
slant of hostility toward Naziism and Nazi Ger
many.
Now and again Mussolini does something or
says something which implies intention to enter
the war on Hitlers side. This the case when
he sent his naval squadrons into the Aegean Sea
But there fairly reliable dispatch out of France
that Mussolini responsible for the singular placid
ity of the Western Mediterranean, where German
submarines might take heavy toll of French troop
transports and merchant ships generally.
There is also a plausible story that Mussolini
was asked by Hitler to put two divisions into Spain
and march them up to the Pyrenees frontier, to
frighten France into making separate peace. The
Duce wise enough, if this fantastic idea was
indeed preached to dismiss it quickly and quietly as
nonsense.
There are two reasonable explanations of the
deliberately engmatic policy of the Rome Govern
ment. One is that Italy cannot afford to make a
choice until she is fairly certain who will win the
war. This would explain the way in which the
Italian press continues to beat the drums for the
German alliance, countering the normally pro-Ally
tendencies of the Italian people.
The other explanation is that MuSsoini. intends
to go to the aid of Germany, but only after France
has been so heavily involved on the Western Front
that she will be tempted to move against Italy in
the Piedmont This assumption is supported by the
obvious inclination of Italy to avoid direct conflict
with France and to use her armed forces in Yugo-
slavia In other words Italy is bent on fighting
with Germany but only in the Balkan area, where
Italy must seize territory vital to her security see
it taken by her ally

JUNEAU HIGH SCHOOLS TOTEM

An interesting publication and one which reflects
much credit upon the student body of Juneau High

The Anchorage Base
Seattle acknowledgement

The basic problem of United States defense is
to prevent any possible enemy from obtaining a
land base close to the United States to the Pan
anna Canal or from bringing airplane carrier
close to our shores the canal
European penetration of South America is obvi-
ousy one danger The status of Iceland and Green
land present other problems. But the existence in
the North Pacific of Russian and japanese
fortified positions far closer portions of Alaska
than are any of own defenseS, represents what
is perhaps the most immediate threat to American
territory.
Remember that the preliminary occupation of
Oslo was carried out entirely by air Under present
circumstances only the Navy would be available to
protect Alaska from any attempted occupation On
such mission units of the fleet might be thousands
of miles distant from the nearest United States
bases-and only few hundred miles away from
Japanese and Russian aircraft and submarine bases
Geography and the Monroe doctrine protect the
United States from embodiment in the European war
SO long is confined to Europe
The Navy is the first line of defense in the
Pacific. But the power of surface craft of air.
craft varies inversely with distance from base.
In view of the increased efficiency of aircraft il
is unwise charge the Navy with the entire burden
of protecting Alaska. portion of that burden must
be taken over by combat aircraft
That is the reason why the Army asked estab-
lshment of airbase at Anchorage, in addition tt
the experimental base proposed for Fairbanks, the
latter to be devoted to testing air operations under
the frigid conditions of the Interior.
The House of Representatives, in burst of So
called economy, fit to eliminate the Anchorage
item from the pending War Department bill. Bu
every subsequent development in the European wal
has argued for reconsideration of that shorsightee
action
