WOmen'S Club Gives POtIatCh Wide Publicity

Wrangelrs Potlatch, which won attention throughout the nation. was given impressive recognition h the recent Juneau Womans Club spec ial edition Of the Alaska Daily Press edited by Mrs. Mildred R. Hermann, President Of the Alaska Federation of Women's Clubs. Virtually two pages in the edition were devoted to a we'll written article by Mrs. Will liam L. Paul of Juneau. dealing with the Potlatch. Illustrated with pie lures Of the Shakes Community House and the Chief himself, the Potlateh story will get wide atten- tion as the Woman's Club edition is distributed to Women's groups throughout the entire country.
 Writing of the value of the Pot latch, Mrs. Paul says:
 "The completion of such a note worthy project naturally called for something unusual in the way of a celebration WrangeI rose nobly to the occasion. Under the joint spon- sorship of the Forestry Department, the Office of Indian Affairs, the Wrangeu Chamber of Commerce, the Alaska Native Brotherhood and the citizens of Wrangell in general, the Wrangell Potlatch scheme was in itiated. Cooperation of the steam ship and railroad companies was se- cured with the advantage of na- tional advertising, and the beauti- ful Sidney Laurence painting, Off to the Potlateh, was used to add color and romance to the publicity. The idea seemed to grow of it's own nom entum and WrangeIl has found that it has a eolorful unique historical pageant to offer visitors as an an nuai affair one that can be deYel- oped to have great ethnological value.
 And of the attendance, Mrs. Paul write:
 There were gathered in Wrangell for the Potlatch probably the most distinguished list of visitors since the visit of President Harding with his official party in 1922. The Gov ernor and his wife and some of the office force, Mir c. NJ. Hirst, Gen eral Superintendent of the Office of Indian Affairs for Alaska with a number of his staff, MT. Ira Gabriel son. the newly appointed head of the combined Bureaus of Fisheries and Biological Survey, with his of- ficlaI party: MT. B. Frank Heintzle- man and others of the Forestry De- partment; Mrs. Christine Hansen of Ketchikan and Mrs. Mildred R. Her mann Of Juneau. the former and present President of the Women's Clubs Of Alaska; ethnologists, pho- tographers and lecturers, newspaper men and politicians, together with a long list of important citizens of nearby towns. not to mention the miscellaneous list from the travel steamers which were in port during the duration of the Potlatch. Every thing in connection with the occas- sion was free and open to the pub lie, even the great banquet given in Chief Shakes name at Wrangell In stitute. Time will tell whether the merchants and citizens of Wrangell can afford to be so openhanded in their entertainment They will un- doubtedly reap great intangible community benefits and 1t Is to be hoped such commercial benefits as will justify them in making the Pot latch an annual affair.
 Congratulations to Wrangell and all those contributing to the Pot latch and here's to next year"

VI A2E14ANN O4N- HAAdA tain
 In recent weeks, no man has so covered himself with what passes for success in diplomacy as Secretary of State Cordell Hull
 When the conference was called. the capital was full of skepticism. These Pan-American conferences al- ways had been sessions of sound and fury signifying nothing much and this, everyone said. was going to be just another one The economic sit- uation was too full of antagonistic selfish interests. As for the Monroe Doctrine, that always had been the United States own baby.
 A United Front
 That's the way talk ran around here before the assemblage of the delegates Of the 2l American na- tions at Havana. Secretary Hull ar rived on the scene and went to work.
 One of the men who was at the conference said: No man was more patient, more tolerant. more deeply solieitous Of the wishes and views and attitudes of the other delega- tions and be il said also that no man enjoyed more esteem"
 Those are attributes of stateman- ship and with those attributes Hull molded the conference into a united front.
 True it is that Argentina is a lit- tie cool to the whole business and it's congress may not ratify that 'act of Havana" but that does not keep official Washington from showering Hull with such phrases as "the erowning achievement of your long and illustrious career"
 Pairing Budgets
 The talk continues to circulate about Wendell L. Willkie and Pres ident Roosevelt getting together for conferences on vital matters in the foreign situation. But hard-headed politicians argue that the Republi- cans would be against it because it would shoot holes in their campaign contention that the President is leading us into war. The Democrats would be against it because they are taking all the responsibility for our foreign policy and will continue to do so through those vital days ahead (until next January at least, even if the election goes against them ) and that there should be no question of sharing the credit, if any.
 In other words, if the political observers are right, you can look , for no further coalition or united front from either of the parties un- til after November. if then.
 With all the billions being spent by the government here now, there s scarcely a department that isn't sweating over economies. At the in- sistance of the President and the budget director, they are cutting from S25O, 100000 to $400, 1000, GOO off current expenses. Whats worry ing the rank and file of government workers is whether salary cuts will get into the economy drive too. The President says not if he can help it.

paper:
 The propaganda reaches a eli max. As America prepares to build up her armed forees-whieh, Of course, should have been done long age-the cry is becoming more and more insistent that we ought to send our naval and air force to England; that the British navy is our first line of defense. and that if it is wiped out. we are lost
 Indeed. most of the support for the nomination of Knox and stimson to the cabinet comes from this very source. The hysteria for aid to Eng land before il is too late--and it may be too late before this column is in print-is so great that it may be difficult to withstand.
 And the curious thing about il is this. not one expert. military or na- val. has testified that it would be possible for Nazi Germany, or any other power or group Of powers to invade the United States now!
 On the contrary, their testimony has been unanimously to the con- trary. Yet, as this is being written, pr. Charles Seymour. president of Yale University. Is speaking over network of radio stations and say ing: If Britain is conquered and the British navy wiped out, there is nothing between the invader (Hit- Ier) and us.
 Now Dr. Charles Seymore is a very brilliant and learned gentle man. He is fifty-tour years of age and in good health. Yet he makes boldly and deliberately a statement for which he could not secure the support of any naval or military eX- pert in this or any other country.
 And it is precisely such state ments, and such propaganda that are leading this Nation to the brink of the war.
 What are the facts about the situation? Is it possible that Dr. Sey- mour has chosen 70 ignore them? Hardly. Or, at least, let us be char itable and assume that he has not. Then, presumably, in his anxiety to aid the Allies, ne has forgotten them.
 He has forgotten there are 5000 miles of ocean between the United States and Europe;
 THAT there is not a Nazi bomber, or any other kind of bomber, built that can make a round trip flight of 1 more than 1000 miles without re- fueling;
 THAT the average bomber cannot fly more than 500 miles in the direc- tion of the United States without giving up all hope of returning to it's base;
 THAT Hitler could not even at tempt to invade the New World without securing an air base in this hemisphere;
 THAT such a base could not be secretly seized; it would have to be secured by naval forces alone since the seizure of territory requires the use of troops;
 THAT there are not enough air craft carriers in the navies of Brit
