Uruguay Acts

Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 Little Uruguay has performed international service of prime importance to every country in the Western Hemisphere by smashing the Nazi plot with in it's borders arresng key leaders and exposing its details so that sister republics may be on guard
 From the documents which came to the congress sional Investigating committee it is clear that the Nazis planned a military uprising in Uruguay The country to be taken over at propitious moment to be used both as agricultural colony of the Third Reich and a base from which to operate against other South American nations
 For long Uruguay has been center of German intrigue From there the elaborate Nazi organization had close contact with the large bodies of German settlers in southern Brazil and northern Argentina
 The conspiracy is traced through an elaborate setup of Naz organizations which regiment the Ger mans in South America as thoroughly as in the Third Reich itself right to the door of the German legation in Montevideo It extended even into Uru- guayan native circles. John w. White correspondent of the New York Times, points this out and at the same time gives hint to other nations troubled With traitors
 "The fifth column is composed of dsgruntled politicians hungry for power army officers who see
 brighter future for the military class under dic tatorship than under democracy; young theorists, mostly college university graduates whose faith in democracy has been destroyed by Fascist and Nazi professors, and adventurers tempted by prospects of a in worldwide Reich which is the dream of the Nazi party.
 It took courage for Uruguay with only 100000 population thus to defy it's largest minority backed as it is by powerful victorious Germany.
 While the government at Montevdeo has not ap- peaed for help the United States has sent the cruiser Quincy to the capital as precautionary step The cruiser Wichita is also in south Atlantic waters They will be joined by other cruisers and desroyers to con- sttute a squadron ready to give immediate aid in case Hitlers followers attempt to take in South America.

WE NEED EXPLOSIVES

The World War was only few months old when both sides discovered they had grossly underestmaed the consumption of shells and high explosives. In the present conflict as many as 300 tons of bombs have been dropped in a single night by both Ger and Allied planes-more than all the high ex- plosives loosed on Germany from on high by Great Britain from 1914 to 1918 The provision of explos- ives is therefore of paramount importance in na- tional defense.
 Dr J. E. Zanetti of Columbia University exam ines it in report prepared for the American Chem- cal Society and sounds justfiable note of ing.
 Though Dr. Zanetti does not say so, it is well to remember that produce annually about 400- 100000 pounds of explosives for peaceful commercial blasting-about ten times as much as Great Britain. These not explosives of the military type Never theless they compounds of nitrogen and without nitrogen explosives almost unthinkable. Does it follow that we are to reduce enough of that gas from the air to meet the requirements of far reaching defense program? Dr. Zanetti thinks not.
 Our deficiency stares us in the face when we think of the 50000 planes about which we have heard much Of late Assuming that 20 percent of these will be bombers, Muscle Shoals with an out put of only 10000 tons of fixed nitrogen year, could supply only 25 bombs year for each machine. Obviously, we need more nitrogen plants Dr zan- etti recommends the erection of many in the in terior, each with capacity of 10000 to 10000 tons a year, that the risk from sabotage lombard ment would be reduced Many of these plants could iraw natural gas supplies for hydrogen, which must be combined with nitrogen to form ammonia, important raw material of the military explosives industry. In the East we have coke-oven gases to draw upon, a source of hydrogen almost entirely neglected
 Only the other day news came that the Germans were working the Norwegian nitrogen plants. Ger many has similar plants in Belgium, Holland and France Even without these she produce over 1,5OO00O metric tons of nitrogen year. Dr zanetti gives her safety factor that lies between two and three which in his opinion is mot even approached by any other nation in the world
 We are better off for chemical plants than we

 MT. Zweibel had just returned to his Chicago headquarters from a sojourn in India before he started to Alaska for a survey of Pabst business in the Territory. His Alaska trip will take him to Fairbanks and Nome by plane, to Anchorage, Ko- diak, Seward and return to Juneau by steamer so that he can see Co., lumbia Glacier enroute.
 'I have probably flown more miles than a lot of pilots" MT. zweibel said, "and I can't say enough in praise for Pan American Airways. Its service, all over the world, and I have travelled most of it's lines, is superb. It is the best way to travel in the Pacific, especially since the war. Just think of flying to Manila in five days, in place of taking 30 days by boat"
 While in Juneau Zweibel is a guest at the Baranof Hotel.

Wings for Alaska

As the first Clipper flying boat swung down into Aux Bay the other day and taxed for Juneau a startled deer looked up from the shore and bounded away into the spruce forest The arrival of the plane sgnalized the final air conquest of the last American frontier Alaska, previously four days from the United States by boat is now linked to Seattle regular seven-hour flights
