FATE DESERVED

Cuthbert had been listening for half
an hour to lecture from his father
on the evils Of late nights and late
risings in the morning.
"You will never amount to any
thing" said his father, "unless you
turn over a new leaf. Remember, it's
the early bird that catches the worm"'
"Ha, ha" laughed Cuthbert. Glow
about the worm? What did he get for
turning out so early?"
"My son." replied the father, "that
worm hadn't been to bed ali night; he
was on his way home!"

New Orleans GLNS).-Col. Philip

The 40-hour week goes into effect

The shorter week will relieve unem-

Col. Fleming. He characterized as

Observers of Argentina's policies,
in which she frequently has taken a

said the program for hemisphere de-
fense is likely to result in one of two
things: Argentina will attempt to
block development of such co-opera-

her own naval and aerial facilities

He charged the "Herrerista" group

impression that, although Argentina

prepare only for self-defense.

Specific Case Awaited.
Asked what the Argentine reaction
would be to foreign aggression
against another American nation,
he replied:
1T would be necessary that we
study the specific case. If the
aggression was directed against a
nation far away in such form or at
such distance as not to threaten
Argentina directly. we would have
to study the matter"
However, Argentina has a mission
in Washington negotiating for
economic assistance, which some
circles say may take the form of
heavy credits. These sources said
the negotiations might result in
change in Argentina's attitude
toward continental defense.
Official sources in other lower

Chile, Paraguay and Bolivia, as well
as Uruguay-have all shown a
favorable disposition to cooperate

MANN SEES NO. II. s. PLACE HITLER GOVERNED WORLD

By a Staff Correspondent of
 The Christian Science Monitor
 SWARTHMORE, Pa. - A Nag victory in the European war giy ing Germany domination of the world, would mean destruction ot humanity and morality, accord ing to Thomas Mann, Nobel Prize winner in literature and German exile now featuring at Princeton University.
 "Our imagination is quite ca pable of conceiving what a Hit 1er-dominated world would be like, but we cannot see ourselves in it, because there would be no place in it for us,' MT. Mann said in an address at Swarthmore Col lege here last night.
 ''This strange race (the Nazis) did not fall from Mars he con tinued. Tt has always been with us. It is always awaiting the op- portunity to come to the surface. These are people who always suS pect their own WorthlessnesS, and always suspect hatred be- cause it is upon hatred that they themselves exist.
 Always before, when they came to power those who did not agree could escape, but to- day the arm of the totalitarian state is such that no one can es- cape it. The question of victory or downfall is even more import ant for Germany than for the Allies. That is why Hitler is stalk ing everything on speed because he knows that if he loses, there will be no Versailles this time.
 How frightfully late has the world come to realize that there can be no compromise with all or nothing. The statesmen of Western Europe could not see this. They would not believe Flu rope was at war even though sol diers were not fighting. But the statesmen of Western Europe were not mistaken in their world for the National Socialist State doesn't belong to their world"

 This large sum, more than five times what the United State paid for Alaska in 1867, is only the beginning. The amount expended besides building the vital north ern defenses of the nation, is al- so giving employment to count less Alaskans and is bringing business to Alaskan businessmen.
 In watching the Territory's de lenses being strengthened, in helping to strengthen them, let us not forget to give credit to the one man responsible for this activity. He has labored unceas- ingly in Washington for eight years to call the attention of the nation to Alaska's vulnerability. He has succeeded as no one else could have.

LIQUOR TAXES AND THE REFERENDUM
Office of the Governor of Alaska
 Press Release

Office of the Governor of Alaska
 Press Release
 Factual studies of AlaSka's li- quor industry by the Alaska Planning Council made at the re- quest of the Governors office and released today in summary form by Governor Gruening re- veal it's economic importance to the Territory and it's relative place in it's fiscal system. It ranks third as a source of taxation and is one of the major sources of employment and wages.
 The study was carried out by the executive staff of the Coun- ciI and deals only with the ec- onomic and administrative phas- es of the industry.
 The industry, the Governor pointed out, since its establish ment in 1883, coincident to the repeal of the National Prohibi- tion Laws and the Alaska Bone Dry Law has been directly un- der the control of the Territorial Legislature through the Territor ial Treasurer. Conducted by pri- vate interests under licensing and excise tax system, aumatic- ally collecting the gross revenue to the Territory now average S3.67 per capita. Administrative costs, including enforcement of regulations and inspection, aver age 36 cents per capita annaul- ly. The average for States having the state monopoly or liquor store system is $1.00 per capita for Administration and net re- ceipts of approximately $2.00 per capita.
 In l939, for instance, the Trea surer's office received a total of $268,033.00 in revenue from the industry. This was almost 50 per cent of the taxes paid by the mining industry, $568,OOO and more than one third of the rev enue of the salmon pack tax $765, ,592.
 In addition to the Territorial tax, incorporated communities of the Territory collected approxi mately $135,0O0 in real and per sonal property taxes from licens es and in refunds from the Terri tory.
 The complete report, the Gov ernor said, will be submitted to the Legislature next January.

 The benefits gained by the farmers of this nation in the past few years were benefits bestowed by the Democratic Administra- tion under its far-seeing farm pro gram.

 Wendell Willkie has now put himself on record as seeing eye to eye with the Democratic Ad- ministration on foreign policy, on the reciprocal trade program and on the farm program.
