UNCLE SAM FOOTS THE BILL

International postal regulations have placed the United States in the ironic position of delivering free of charge of propaganda designed to under mine the American form of government. Because of rules laid down by the International Postal Union, Hitler is able to ship untold thousands of booklets and pamphlets into this country and force the Unit ed States postal authorities to distribute them for him free. af
 The method used is simple. Under existing regu- lations the country of original transmission retains the fees for delivery and the country where inter- national mail is finally distributed makes the de- livery of charge So the Nazi government merely turns out the required stamps attaches them to any propaganda it wishes to distribute in America and starts it on the journey to this country Uncle Sam handles the mail free once it gets to America.
 Even the war has not handicapped the process. Hitler ships his subversive propaganda by way of Russia and though this is a slower process than by the Atlantic it eventually reaches it's destination.
 The German propaganda ministry has compiled huge mailing list of German Americans living in the United States Each the list is subjected to a constant bombardment of propaganda printed in both English and German. Many receive bum des of 50 or more for distribution among Americans who are not the reguar mailing list
 The system is so designed that few German Americans get away from constant reminders that they are of German extraction and should re- main loyal to the Nazi form of government. Be- cause there is American censorship much of the material contains attacks against the President, the United States system of government the American press, capital, the Jews, and other groups-and the United States foots the distribution bill.
 Let us not forget that Hitler once said: America is permanently the brink of revolution Ii wiA be simple matter for me to produce unrest and reyots in the United States 50 that these gentry will have ther hands full with their affairs" Per haps he banked upon the protecting influence of the International Postal Union to help him foment this revolution and unrest.

CHARLES W. HAWKESWORTH

It is hard to say goodbye to Charlie Hawkesworth, hard 10 realize that he won't be there tomorrow at hi, desk in the Federal Building with broad smile, a characteristic shrls of the shoulders and few words of good-natured comment for his visitors, no matter what the business which brings them to his office.
 We know there are hundreds of people in Ju- neau who like as have missed Charlie the last two days He was part of their lives, they realize now and his absence emphasizes keenly how important part.
 This is written before the funeral which will lake place this afternoon We know the auditorium of the Scottish Rite Temple the building in which MT Hawkesworth labored so faithfully in some of nis many fraternal and community endeavors, will be banked deeply with flowers. We know the crowd at the public services will be of the largest ever to attend a funeral in Juneau There will be, be- sides those of us knew him mostly after business hours hundreds of his Indian friends, the people who loved him truly as he loved and served them
 No ragged Indian was too humble to be granted an immediate audience with Mister HawkesWorth The native people sought him out, brought him their joys as well as their troubles because he inter- ested and because he sympathetic.
 Charles Hawkesworth lived in Alaska for 33 years and had become part of the country. He came north as young teacher, bringing his bride to the most remote and desoate station in America Point Barrow in the days before the airplane brought this most northerly point on the continent to within two days of Juneau For four years he served among the Eskmos coming to Southeast Alaska in 1911 to make this home the rest of his life
 He was the prototype of the good citizen, active in every community effort, originator and promoter of projects for the public benefit generous to all

Fewer Tons Needed
(NeW York TineSl


 German figures on U-boat destruction of British tonnage must be discounted in two ways before a comparison is possible with the World War. In the first place, of course, Hiters Uboat statistics not authentic those issued by Kaiser Wilhelm IT. The ethics of official communiques have changed at Berlin. But more important is the fact that British ton of shipping sunk today is of consider ably less consequence than similar loss in 1917 The difference arises from the changed military situation
 When the Germans set out in 1917 to starve out England by unrestricted submarine warfare they had it figured .thst out of 2OOO0000 tons of British shipping more than half were absorbed by military requirements Something like 8,500,000 tons were available for feeding the people and carrying on trade and the Germans felt confident that out of this amount they could sink 600,000 tons month. As matter of fact, the average monthly bag was much smaller; the submarine finally outwitted by the convoy system but that is beside the question.
 The thing that counts is that today the military demands English shipping must be much smaller, for the simple that in the World War there were anywhere from million to two million British soldiers in France that had to be supplied from home Today there is British army in the Near East that needs shipping but most of the soldiers at home, where it obviously needs less tonnage to feed and arm them.

HOROSCOPE E "The stars incline
 but do not compe"
FRIDAY. NOVEMBER

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER s
 This should be fortunate day in industry. Benefic aspects dom mate workers. They may be expect ed to cooperate fully with em- ployers. Factories should speed production under this rule of the stars.
 Heart and Home: There should be quick obedience to what the head of the family desires today. The rule is most favorable for be- einnings that promise domestic good fortune. Sons and daughters should awaken to possibilities and should assume tasks that may be of benefit to the community in which they live. This is a time to give up the pursuit of pleasure as chief interest. Portents of su- prcme significance are discerned for this country.
 Business Affairs: AS work ex- tends to all who are trained or eff ficient, prosperity will be enjoyed in the United States. Unemploy- ment will cease to be a major prob lem as money becomes plentiful be- cause of government spending. Yan- kee resourcefulness and keenness in trade will be demonstrated in marvellous feats of production cal- culated to meet urgent demands. While the pocketbook may be pad- ded with greenbacks, thrift is recommended.
 National Issues: Conflict between the inclination to pursue comfor- table ways of life and the urge of patriotism will be evident as per- sons of varying views contemplate the coming winter While men with. in the limits of conscription make great sacrifices or prepare fou them, girls will dedicate themselves to high service in the cause of human betterment. Many will join the ranks of splendidly trained nurses and others will qualify in vacations that aid the unfortunate
 International Affairs: When for eign astrologers read in the July August planetary influences the beginning of the end" they foretold for the British ultimate survival and even victory, but prophesied a long conflict. In pursuing a course of greatest danger in his persistent attacks on London, Hit- Ter was believed to mark the start of his decline, which may not be evident for many months. Stalin's Mars, released from the restraint of Saturn, is of evil portent fof Hitler. q Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of success in bus mess. Much travel is indicated
 Children born on this day will be sensitive and retiring, good-naturec and independent They will succeed without much aid from parents tl | friends. iS

Members of the Juneau Cham Der of Commerce today defeated by a close vote proposal by Charles Beale, President of the organization, that the Chamber draw up a resolution announcing to the President of the United States that the Chamber, Juneau and Alaska were behind him 100 percent in the interests of na- tional unity.
 Beale, who makes no bones about being a stalwart Republican, said ne thought the ideal of unity more important in these trying times than minor matters of disagree ment.
 Ickes Objection

Ickes is Secretary of the Interior" and Frank Gar nick remarked that "Ickes and Ma Perkins are mouthpieces of our President" the motion was lost by a few votes.
 Then Shattuck proposed a mo- tion, successfully carried, that the matter be referred to the Cham ber's Legislative Committee.
 A motion that all reference to the first motion be expunged from the record and that the newspapers be requested not to mention it was duly passed.
