 Already number of voluntary donations toward a HaWkesworth monument have arriv5d in Ju- neau from all parts of Alaska.

If Hitler Has His Way
(Philad4 lphia Record)

Hitler knows what he wants.
 The American people know what they want
 Who's going to win?
 If Hitler has his way
 Congress will debate the Lease Lend bill unti the Fourth of July - until it becomes Dependence Day instead of Independence Day.
 If Hitler has his way
 Every member of Congress will introduce an amendment to the Lease-Dznd bill, and every other member will offer substi- ute. such as Senator Taft's plan to grant Britain new war loans the one plan which nearly every body else dossn't want.
 If Hitler has his way
 Congress will devote itself to arguing about the danger of glv- ing President Roosevelt more power instead of the dangr of giving Hitler more time to con- quer England and prepare to deal with us.
 If Hitler has his way
 "A wedge will be driven be tween the United States and Eng land by just such tactics as those of Senator Wheeler and other ap peasers, and real aid to Britain will be put off until it is worth ess.
 If Hitler has his way
 Hitler will win.
 If the American people have their way
 Congress will exert the utmost speed on the LeaSe-Lend bill, de bate is briefy-and make a few simple notifications such as Wen dell Willkie has courageously urg ed; preferably notifications limit ing the duration of the Presi- dents powers and limiting the value of existing ornaments he may lease or lend.
 If the American people have their way
 Congress will then pass the bill and get that aid to Britain.
 There will not be any d lay. there will not be any filibuster and there will not be any ap- peasement.
 If the American people hay their way
 Democracy will win this war.
 Congress knows what Hitler wants. It knows what our people have shown, over and over, that they want.
 It's now up to Congress.
 Congress must decids-for den ocracy.

Principle Involved

That is a gallant and fair
minded attitude, worthy OF the
most scrupulous propagandist.
for it admits that there is an
essential moral principle In

time, the place and the circum-

The public. by staying carefully

it was well presented.

1t would be impossible to say
how many persons we're con-

is safe to say that both CONSOLE

This suggests a point that was

fact that propaganda usually

Free--bu+ NOT Good

Or. to cite a wholly Innocent
cause, take the case OF Edgar
r. Davis, who kept a play called
THE Ladder" running in New
York for year or so, with free
admissions. at a personal cost OF
more than a million dollars,
solely because he wanted to
spread the message of reincar-
nation.
1 doubt IL the play converted
a single person to the bei1er--
not because it was hired argu-
nnent, but because it was a bad
play.
IT seems TO me that Bernard
Shaw made the legitimate dis
tinction between suitable and
unsuitable propaganda when he
withheld "Heartbreak House
from production during the first
World War. He refused to let
the English public see his
pacifist play. he explained in the
preface, because he felt you
could not fight war and the
enemy at the same time.

Hiqh School Has No Trouble in Winning Over Na-
 tionaI Guarders
LAST NIGHT High School A; Natl Guard 20. Elks B; Jennings 25.
HOW THEY STAND

The High Schools Crimson Bears last night were too much ball club for a pickup team of National Guardsmen, and driving Elks club came from behind in the closing minutes last night to nose out ahead of the Henning quint.
 The High School had no trouble against the soldiers and ran up points at will until the first string was pulled from the game.
 The Guardsmen have three play CTS on sick list and last night only showed with two regulars in uni form. League officials say it is likely the Guard team will be dropped from the circuit.
 Elks' Steady Drive
 The Elks' win over the Henning club was a record of steady drive from start to finish. It was close game all the way, but for the bulk of the game, the Henning squad had the edge.
 At half time the Clothiers were out in front 1914, and it was not until there were but five minutes left to play when the Elks tied up.
 Go to Pieces
 At that point, slowly begging Henning squad seemed to go to pieces and ragged playing became sloppy ball. The Elks squad took new fire on the other hand and piled up the tallies.
 Lewis broke the tie with a long flat toss, putting the Henning men in front again, but Druliner, get ting two free losses, tied up again by making both of them.
 Then Lovos potted two in a row for four points edge to the Elks. Bird cut the edge one point with free toss for Jennings, but Elks- men Watson and Druliner splashed two more field goals through the hoop and the game was over.
 Next Monday, another double bill is slated for the Douglas floor, High School vs. Elks and Eagles vs. National Guard.
 Scores last night were as follows:
