velopment of a system OF feeding
units, to be operated in conjunction
with air warden posts in each zone of
che Metropolitan Area, Miss Mason

and training of volunteers will be
held soon in each district. Ten
women are to be assigned to a unit,
their duties being to provide a
temporary place of refuge. Hot soup
and hot coffee will be provided not
only for the nourishment, but also
for a psychological stimulus, she
added.
Women Offer Services.
Other duties will include the
soliciting of volunteers who are
willing to offer their homes as a
secondary refuge for bomb victims
before transfer to more permanent
quarters. A number of women of

Home Rule Advocate

q am a believer in home rule. I hay eintroduced in excess of one hundred bills which have been enacted into law. One of the most important bills is that which was designed to give pro- portionate representation in the Alaska Legislature. I believe there is no real justification in giving citizen of Alaska who resides in one division more vot- ing power than citizen in an- other division.

Mrs. Tucker Is Charged
 With Murder

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Sept Mrs. Marie Tucker, was indicted by Los Angeles County grand jury, charged with stabbing to death her soldier husband, Ma jor George Tucker of Fort Me Arthur.
 Major Tucker died at the San Francisco Army Hospital July 12 from a knife wound suffered ear Her at his San Francisco home. According to Army reports, he accidentally stabbed h mself while making a sandwich.
 As Judge Scheinman received the indictment, Juror Charles Pierce arose and suggested that liquor be indicted as the actual murdered. Both Major Tucker and his wife were said to have been drinking heavily the night he was stabbed.
 Meanwhile Fort McArthur Commandant Colonel Hicks den- jed police charges that the Army was trying to cover up the case. Colonel Hicks said an Army in vestigation has not yet been com pleted.
 He said the police showed no interest in the Tucker case until an insurance company asked that an investigation be made.
 Investigators revealed that Major Tucker carried insurance policies totalling $68,000. One $25,0c0 policy was taken out only three weeks before he was injured.

still in a negotiation stage. But before we proceed any further. may l digrcSs to say Donald Me Donald is one of the most val uable and forceful members of this committee or commission, a man With endless energy.
 T am much encouraged by the report given by New Yorks Ma yor LaGuardia in which he said the President had ordered im- mediate survey of the route of the highway.
 Several weeks ago, I think your local paper carried it, I stated that the Canadians were in different and were stal ing upon it. Since that time, Prime Min ister Mackenzie King has said that he was for the highway. l believe that the building of the highway is one of the most inn portant defense projects we could possibly make.

course among nations and unreg- ulated social life. Our stake in this war is our future independ- euee and the assurance that that independence will endure. We are endeavoring to the full mea- sure of our reources to hasten the execution of our national de- lense program. The United Stat es Government, l am happy to say, is also doing everything to strengthen the military defenses of our country.
 T trust that very soon it will be possible for he Government of the United States to send us more planes and more guns and ammunition to increase our power of resistance against in vasion.
 We only need more equip ment and more supplies for we have abundant man power. We have strong, intelligent young men who are eager to join the ranks of our defense and for all the principles which President Roosevelt has proclaimed to the world.
 Tn conclusion, I wish to assure the people of America that we are with the United States in life and in death"

REAR ADDRESS

The defense plans for Alaska are progressing about as well as one could expect. This you know the air base near Fairbanks is pretty well along, and the one at Anchorage which is built on a much larger scale, is also about half completed The naval air sta ton al Sitka and the two sub marine bases a Kodiak and Dutch Harbor are going along fairly well up unil the present moment.
 T had his checked shortly be- fore l left Washington. Congress has appropriated in excess of S133, 100000 for Alaska defense. Nobody expects that is going to be sufficient. 1 think that l am justified in the conviction that at least twice of $133,000, GOO will be absolutely necessary l have no question or doubt but what Con gress will provide what is nec- cssary for Alaska.
 T am glad to say that as far as my observation goes, and of course it is superficial observa- ton, as I am not an engineer, these works in Alaska have been carried on with least as reason able a degree of efficiency as could be expected. We have been buying time, and time is a most expensive luxury.

Washington Turmoil

"The report that there is tur- moi in Washington is something of an understatement. 1 should say there is turmoil and argu- ment and clash of opinion al most to the nth power. Our entry into the war is inevitable unless MT. Hitler should stub his toe and not come up again. Aid to Russia, Britain and China is evi- dence enough indicating in con- nection with the declaration of the President and the secretaries of war and navy that we are go- ing to defend our rights no mat CT what might happen, and if MT Hitler takes issue with that, we will be in war. In my consider ed judgement, Iceland also can justly be considered part of the Western Hemisphere.

Japanese Situation

T have no special know edge of the Japanese situation, and l ought to preface what l have to say with the remark that I have always liked the Japanese l have known a good many Japan ese, and I have liked them, and truly hope that we will not be obliged to go into war with Jap an. If the Japanese are governed by good ordinary common sense, there is not a chance in the world that we will get into war with them. My opinion, based upon conversation with many people in Washington, is that the Japanese are not going to de- clare war upon us. They will go just as far as they can. No one knows. not even the President can say with any degree of con fidence, to what ends the Japan csc military will bring the Jap ancse people, But the rank and file of Japanese don't want war with the United States.

Bomber Ferrying

The military works that are now being undertaken in Alaska could readily be used in a bomb CT ferrying service-if we had any bombers to go to Russia. There are being built now through Canada and up through Alaska a series of air fields which would be available if we decided to fly bombers to Russia. We must remember that the whole application of the art of war has been changed. These air fields are built to get there first with the most men, get there first with the most airplanes.

Possible War Effects

The effect of war would be an enormous stimulation. If we can get transportation for Alaska dur ing any war that might occur, Alaska business will expand just as the business in the States does. We will have enough ships so Alaska will no suffer from a lack of ships, if war holds off for another year. If we have to send our fleet to the Atlantic and if the Panama Canal should be blocked, the International High way would be of the utmost nec- essity. It has been stupid not to have the highway at the present time. The defense of Alaska is absolutely vital to the defense of the United States"

WALLACE DEPARTS

Othere echoing similar com plaints were Democratic Senators Alben Barkey, Francis Maloney of Connecticut, and Abe Murdock of Utah; also Republicans Styles Bridges of New Hampshire, Chan Gurney of South Dakota and Jo- sep H. Ball of Minnesota, Bark ley particularly appeared to enjoy the banning session, but not Vice President Wallace.
 He said little, except to agree that the White House had been guilty of some inconsistency. Wien the group really began to get rough with the President, Wallace ner- yously excused himself and de- parted. The only one present who spoke a word in defense of the President was Pepper, who specu- lated that the pressure of work" might have something to do with the failure to back up supporters of the foreign policy. s sf

 Training will even deal with plans for evacuating cities where necessary La Guarda has planned. Crews of men who volunteer for service will be taught to maintain public health under disorganized conditions and draft measures for the prevention of panics
 In general La Guardia plans a vast army of volunteer Americans, trained and ready to meet any emergency of war, while at the same time they pray such an emergency may never arise. . But reports from the States indicate that La Guardia is running into snags in his organizing efforts It is hard to make residents of midwestern corn belt towns leap to the organizing of defense units. Bombing raids seem too far away to be live threat
 Here in Alaska, civilian defense plans, still in an embryo stage, are probably far progressed as anywhere in the nation Returning this week from a two-week trip to the Westward Governor Gruen- ing and James J. (Jmmy) Ryan. assistant director of civilian defense announced that units had been organized in Fairbanks, Nome, Anchorage and Sew ard This means that now civilian defense organiza- tions have been formed in every major community of the Territory.
 Yesterday Ryan's plane left Juneau, bound for New York, a two-week trip to confer with La Guardia It is understood he will attempt to obtain uniforms and weapons for Alaskan home guard unts and will also investigate possibility of forming a civilian air force in the Territory.
 Which way the tide of may turn is mat ter of street corner arguments these days Some his torical accident may touch off the powder keg of hostilities in the Pacific before many days Then Alaska will be lined up along the battle front and there will be real need of alert civilian defense

the old French forss on the Amer ican side of the border, extending from Chicago to Ogdensburg. They didn't evacuate until July 4; l796 In this treaty they bamboozled the Founding Fathers out of control of the St. Lawrence. i.silel
 The War of 1872, Northrup cons tinued. was purely struggle be- tween American and Canadian portage interests for control of in- terior trade. The British won a diplomatic victory in the Rush. Baggott treaty provision that neither Canada nor the United States would fortify the border or maintain navies on the Great Lakes. Britain controlled the mouth of the St. Lawrence and thereby the trade route.
 This situation irked men like De Witt Clinton, and in 1917 New York State started digging the Erie Can al to make an all-American water- way. Its completion in 1925, North rup orated,. made the British lion writhe. In retaliation, England started the Welland Canal and in 1924 to bi-pass Niagara, finished it in 1883, and opened the Canadian series of St. Lawrence canals in l848, completing an all-British route to the Atlantic.
 Now. once again. Northrup warned darkly. the United States is about to fall for another Brit ish conspiracy to enlarge his waterway by removing the last ob- stacle to deep-draught navigation in the upper St. Lawrence.
 NOTE, Northrup had no explan- ation for the fact that other op- position witnesses. taking an ex- act opposite tact. told the cofhmitJ tee that President Roosevelt had "blackmailed" war-burdened Cant ada into agreeing to the project However; Northrup; did privately agree that if the 3U. s. took over Canada he would favor the St. Lawrence seaway.

BRITISH PLOT

After nearly four weeks of hear ings, the House Rivers and Har- bors Committee has at last got the inside lowdown on the Great Lakes St. Lawrence waterway project.
 The whole scheme is gigantic English plot. It originated 300 years ago, when English colonists began edging in on the French in the Great Lakes area, and Britain has pursued it doggedly ever since.
 Revealer of the plot was John H. Northrup, supervisor of the Mi agara County tN. Y) Board of Supervisors. who read a lengthy historical paper on the subject. This was his tale:
 England successfully edged out the Dutch and then the French in 100 years of struggle. and for l3 years after the Treaty of Paris, British troops continued to hold
