Cites Alleged Inconsistency
In Col. Lindbergh's Views.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Col Charles A. Lindbergh regards the
present war as only another struggle
for world power without moral or ethical
significance He neither condemns nor
criticizes the Nazi regime and contends
that the United States successfully can
cooperate with it, even if. as he be-
lieves. it should become the absolute
master of the Eastern Hemisphere. And
yet he advocates spending billions for our
own defense and last autumn suggested
that we should secure possession Of
Canada.
Although for more than a century we
have been able to live unarmed and
prosperous in a world dominated by
England, must we now arm to the teeth
TO exist on one controlled by Germany
if there is no moral or ethical difference
between the two nations?
This is question some of us would
like to have answered before We begin
attending mass meetings or even writ
ing letters to Congressman.

Offers Another Fable
OF Mythical Atlantis.
To the Editor of The Star

To the Editor of The Star:
Jay Franklins article on the people
of Atlantis interested me so that went
to the Library of Congress and looked
up everything I could find on the
subject.
In Bells History of Ancient Civiliza-
tions," found a story which showed
that even in the far dim past they had
problems similar to our own. 1t seems
that Atlantis was a democratic country
where every one had full political rights
Except maybe descendants of slaves,
government workers and residents of
their capital city). 1t had been pros
porous land, blessed with natural re-
sources and inhabited by iberty-loving
people. There were great workshops,
rich mines and highly trained artisans.
of plenty.
1t mad started as simple agricultural
community. where all had equal op-
portunities. but with the growth of the
cities, conditions had changed. The
stronger and shrewder men had risen to
the top and formed ruling class called
the Grabbits, which were supported by
middle class called Rabbits, and these
two soon owned all the tools of pro-
duction.
The Grabbits and Rabbits worshiped
the god Mammon, but even more than
him they loved his Prophet sometimes
spelled Profit. In times of plenty a
goodly portion of the production of the
country was set aside as sacrifice to
the latter In fact the lower classes
gave so much to the Prophet that they
had nothing left to spend on themselves
The result was that more goods were
manufactured than could be sold The
shops anG mines were closed and the
peasants could not sell their crops
They had the first depression recorded
in history In Atlantis.
Seashells were used for money at
that time The warlike tribes in nearby
Europe bought great quantities of sup
plies from Atlantis and paid for them

Gratitude Inspires Proof That
The World Is Not HeartIess After All.

TO the Editor of The Star:
Would that we were poets so that
we could more eloquently express our
Selves Nevertheless, may we praise
the Good Samaritans with whom we
have recently come in contact, and at
the same time thank all of our MANY
benefactcrs?
On one of the bitterly cold nights of
February. we had a disastrous fire at
our home, in which our material pos
sessions were completely destroyed.
Thank God all of us escaped unharmed! /!
However, the situation was rather grave.
as We had no shelter no clothing and
little cash to provide for our six children,
the oldest of whom is 8. That night,
through the kindness of our relatives
and neighhors, we were comfortably and
adequately clothed and sheltered.
The next day an account of the fire
appeared in all the Washington news
papers, and we began to learn first
hand how many truly generous and
kind-hesrted people there are. Rela-
tives and friends offered food, clothing
and shelter for us and our children.
Collections were taken up by churches
of different denominations and various
organizations In the community. People
whom VIC knew and many whom we
did not know sent us food, clothing,
furniture, money, all sorts of house.
hold goods and even toys for the chill
dren. The unsolicited kindness, good
ness and generosity of our fellow citizens
was inspiring.
We arc truly grateful and appreciative
to all who have helped us in any way,
both those who are known to us and
whom VIC have previously thanked and
those unknown to us whom we now wish
to thank
May We also commend the valiant
volunteer firemen who strove so des-
perately to save our home?

gard as precious. 1t is a beautiful
land. Nature has endowed it with
mountains and valleys, lakes and
rivers, trees and flowers which appeal
to the stranger as dramatic realities,
notably impressive in their influence
upon sensitive minds and hearts. For
example, it happens frequently that
the tourist enters a railroad tunnel
in one striking scene and emerges
in another, equally breath taking
but utterly different. The contrasts
between Belgrade and Sarajevo are
as compelling as those between
Washington and Calcutta. Both
cities, however, are memorably graft
flying to the responsive visitor.
No one, of course, can say when
Yugoslavia first became dear to
human inhabitants. Near Ljubljana
geologists and archeologists have
traced a prehistoric lake and dis
covered many dwellings like those
of Lakes Constance and Geneva in
Switzerland. The Bronze Age cul-
lures of remote antiquity are repre-
Sented in the museums of the larger
towns, and occasionally even now
farmer or a shepherd finds in the
field the iron blade of an ancient
knife, a fragment of brass helmet,
a copper button or some still more
remarkable clue to the mystery of
the origins of civilization in the hills
above the Adriatic.
An agrarian society predominantly
is that of Yugoslavia today. But it
should be added that its farms are
mid crags" because "vain on the
plain is freedoms quest" The nest
of the eagle may be invaded, but,
considering the passionate devotion
of Serbs, SloveneS, CroatS and their
neighborS to their homes, 1t safely
may be prophesied that it will be
defended desperately.

Additional installations have not
been pushed in the intervening ten
year period, largely on grounds of
economy. But during that period the
most modern fire alarm headquar-

in Mcmillan Park, and once the
exact needs of the city have been
determined, there should be no
further delay in modernizing and ex-
tending the alarm system.

Rapid Development of AL aska Defense Bases
 Reports Delegate

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10-Alas- ka's Delegate in Congress Anthony J. Dimond predicted today on his return after a months visit in AL aska, that it will require total appropriation of $300,000,000 to complete defense establishments in the Territory.
 The speed with which nation al defense establishments in Alasr ka are coming into being was ac- tually surprising to me" Dimond declared. T hadn't looked for such activity The evident efficien- cy with which the work is being done is most encouraging.
 He said economic conditions are excellent in the Territory, and that as a result of this improvement in national defense work almost every resident in Alaska who wanted work and was able to work has found employment. He said citi- zens in the Territory are happy that the national government is so energetically setting up defense bases there, which at least in a reasonable degree have assured the safety of the Territory.

 Denying that the opposition Of labor unions to the company in some cities influenced the decis- ion, J. H. Requa, territorial sales manager from Portland, Ore, who came here to close the local Mont gomery, Ward unit, said the lack of shipping space aboard Alaskan vessels had interferred severely with the company's usual business in the Territory.
 He pointed out that orders are weeks late in reaching the custo- mer, because merchandise must wait on the docks in Seattle.
 The Juneau office will be closed by Monday, Requa said, with the other offices in Anchorage, Fair banks and Ketchikan to be shut by October Is. All office equipment and supplies will be sold to the highest bidder
