z. .s1 -. PIQUE AND POLITICS.

One trouble with Congress today is that too many people are voting according to personal pique and pre- judice. The question of whether Roosevelt opposed them on this or that, or whether he gave them the patronage they requested, sometimes counts more than important na- tional issues.
 About the time the extension of the draft act came up, for instance, isolationist friends of Congressman Martin Dies urged him to vote against the Administration and veto a longer period of service for drattees.
 Why should do that22 asked Dies.
 Well, Roosevelt opposed you, didn't he?" was the reply He ran Lyndon Johnson against you in the Texas primaries, didn't hep
 "Yes," replied ;Dies, 'but this isiit an Issue between me and Roosevelt, This is an issue involving the coun- try. It's question of whether we haye-arf arnyur fiaif an~arry 1t'y

rescued by Hill from the Make Eur ope Pay War Debts Committee.
 Since the J ustice Department charged the Make Europe Pay War Debts Committee with being fi- nanced by Nazi agents. it would seem that Congressman Fish's office knowingly or unknowingly - was playing into the hands of Nazi agents.
 Tragedy is that instead of wanting to clean up this mess and show who is guilty and not guilty many Con- gressmen are crying Hush! Hush!" and pleading with the Attorney General to call off the dogs. They don't seem to realize that one or two bad apples can spoil a whole barrel and that the reputation of Congress is at stake.

ALASKA'S VITAMINS

We may be overly optimistic. but the start of vitamin oil production at plant near Ketchikan seems to us the signal of the start of a new, and potentially profitable industry in Alaska.
 The trail blazer is Willis Lebo, who operates a fish by-products company at Ward Cove and is said to have long dreamed of building up vtamin concentrate industry in the Territory That he is on his way toward fulfillment of that dream seems indicated by the interest in his operations the part of Abbot Laboratories purchasers of his con- centTated vitamin products
 This week Lebo and George w. Burchard, a representative of the Washington Laboratories were in Juneau on a round of visits to fishing communi- ties of Southeast Alaska, attempting to interest fishermen in going after scrap fish" for use in the vitamin plant
 Certainly if this new industry get under way it will offer welcome fall and winter activity for the fishing fraternity It is believed too, that this fishing for vamin- producing fish will prove profitable That there is money to be made in the little vitamin pills is amply demonstrated in the price one must pay 100 halibut cod liver oil globules at the drugstore
 This vtamin vogue may be just passing fad with the American public but scientists offer proof that certain of these vtamins, absent in the dinary diet will make all the difference in the world in building up energy, resistance to disease and general physical well-being
 Besides&fthe Abbot laboratories, leading pro- ducers of vtamin pills include Hoffmann- -LaRoche, Inc, Parke, Davis and Company, Merck and Com pany and the E. R. Squibb and Sons Company Certainly, if the waters of Southeast Alaska can be shown to be good source of the fish from which these vitamins are extracted several Of these pro- duction companies may place processing plants along the shores of the Inside Passage. And fad or permanent sindustry our fishermen have their boats nets and other gear hand the year around so they, might as well get on the vitamin band wagon and make hay while the nation eats pills
 Livers of the fish ordinarily thrown away by fishermen are what these vitamin processors seem most to want although it is understood they process

ROOSEVELT HATER

Former Senator David A. Reed of Pennsylvania, one of the big name isolationist witnesses against the ship arming bill during the Senate hearings, entered the Foreign Rela- tions Committee room like lion but departed like a lamb
 Administrationists gave Reed Pittsburgh chairman of the America First Committee, working over he won't foeget for along time.
 The fireworks started when he belligerently declared that certain members of the Foreign Relations Committee favor this country going to war"
 ITO what Senators do you refer?" promptly demanded Chairman Tom Connally.
 Everybody knows who they are, !" retorted eX-Senator Reed.
 Name them,f snapped Connally. Reed coughed, souirmed in his chair, finally blurted t"Well = CT - Sen ator Pepper, for one"
 He had barely got the words out when Pepper jumped up, demanding that Reed cite on instance in which he had urged U. s. entry into the war. Reed had to admit he couldn't.

Plutocracy, Indeed
Cleveland Plain Dealerl

Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 With reckless abandon the Nazis toss about their slogans and catch phrases to lure the unwary People be trapped by a promise wrapped in glittering rhetoric They can be counted upon to forget the sugarcoated canard of yesterday in the pretty promise of today. Now Walther Funk, eco monies minister and Reichsbank president adds his two-marks worth to the mountainous pile of Nazi pseudo philosophy. A nasty examination will show how hollow it is IF ssF .se
 We aim to break the system of plutocratic im perialism and make international trade decent instrument serving mutual economic needs says Funk after blaming power politics as practiced by England for centuries the root of all evil
 This may fool some people but let us look closely at this business plutocracy at which not only Funk but all Nazi leaders hammer in and out of season.
 "Plutocracy," according to Webster lis govern ment by the wealthy; the rule dominion of wealth or of the rich; also controlling influ- ential class of rich men; a body of putocrats."
 Never in all history has there been thorough going plutocracy than the leadership of the National Socialist party They, along. with the Junker land owners the only rich in the Third Reich today. The industrialists who financed Hitler to power soon lost everything to the state and were transformed into purely managerial class with limited resources.
 Look, for example, at penniless Herman Goer- ing who in few years took up residence in a Karin Hall into which the contents of half dozen ums were dumped. Look at the figures of royalties drawn from German industries by the Nazi leaders plus their opulent subsidies from the state! This is putocracy in it's highest sense.
 In "putocratic" England the other hand, man, whatever his income, has access to more than S25.O00 a year. The remainder is taken away for the defense. of the nation in taxation Rich inen do not rule Britain as they do Germany. Not only there no rich" in that sense, but the common man, through the Labor ministers has the greatest representation in the government in its history.
 This loose talk of plutocracy is piece of all Nazi propaganda. It falls to bits scrutiny. The Nazis are out for the Nazis and not for underdogs as they endeavor to make others believe. To them the underdogs fit only for slavery to enrich the physical we-being and the power their plutocracy

With this rebuke off his chest, Pepper subsided, but Reeds pum- melling wasn't over Senator James Murray of Montana, listed supporter of Roosevelt's domestic and foreign policies, swung into the fray with, "I'd like to ask the wit ness to name one instance in which he has supported the President on any issue, domestic or foreign"
 Reed again defaulted. T didn't think you could answer that one" said Murray. You've been against the President on everything and it is only natural for you to oppose him on this issue. You're just a Roose- yelt hater, regardless of what he Stands for"

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER T

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER T
 Benefic aspects rule today which should be especially fortunate to merchants, lawyers and educators. There is a sign encouraging to op- position which will have influence in politics and in trade unions.
 HEART AND HOME: Owing to the Pluto influence, social barriers will disappear and in coming weeks both boys and girls will fall in love with persons whose back grounds and traditions are dissimi- lar from theirs. What once were designated as mesalliances will lose significance. When peace is again established, human relations will be changed so greatly that the older generation will suffer through difficulty in readjustments to, fit strange codes. ....t
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: California, Washington and Oregon will gain greatly in volume of business this month and next Populations will grow and the port of Seattle will rise in commercial importance. San Francisco and Los Angeles har- bors will achieve extraordinary na- val importance. Warning is given that danger of sabotage or fire IS foreseen for the Pacific Coast Gov ernment projects will expand and production will be amazing in many factories.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Radio talks which voice criticism of Govern ments policies as directed rom Washington. D. C., are to be stih- jects of protest. While free speech must not be abridged, the seers foretell that subversive activities will be encouraged inadvertently by citizens who are at heart patrio- tic but miSled in their judgments. The stars presage a turnings of mems minds toward postwar eco homie conditions. There is con- figuration read as promising peace that will come as surprise, ow- ing to death of hostile leaders and rebellion of subjugated peoples.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR S: Better conditions are to dawn for Belgium and France within a few months. Switzerland is to prosper. Spanish and Irish political crises are indicated. Seismic disturbances are prognosticated for New Zea- land. Recognition of the tremen- dous growth of power and prestige of the United States, which be- comes the greatest of all nations, is to have a salutary effect upon the minds of Axis diplomats.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good fortune. Business should expand and profits pile up.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be alert, talented and kindly. They may succeed brilliant ly as writers, orators or lawyers.

U. S. ARMY:
Changes Ideas

Partly as a result of maneuvers
in the South, partly as result OF
reports from American observers
with the warning armies in Europe
and Africa, the U. S. army's ideas
Of fighting force are undergoing
rapid changes.
Modern arms had been accepted,
also modern motor transport, and
our army had its planes, tanks, anti
tank guns, anti-aircraft guns, and
all the other appurtenances of mod
ern warfare.
But this has not been deemed the
best arrangement, and army officers
now are rearranging the basic arm,
the infantry, so that each unit is
practically whole mechanical
army in itself.
Each infantry outfit, the new army
idea emissions, will have its own
screen of tanks, will be completely
motorized as regards transport
from place to place; it will have its
own battery of planes; even its own
self-propelled 75-millimeter guns.
Thus what used to be regiment
of foot-soldiers, working in conjunc-
ton with separate outfits of plane,
artillery and tanks, will now become
a complete little army in itself, with
all the necessary arms.

LIBYA:
British Ring

After winning battle after battle
by swift encirclements based on the
use of fast tanks and screaming
dive-bombers, the Nazi forces in
North Africa had evidently received
dose of their own medicine, and
while dealing out deadly punish
ment to the British, had been unable
to break the iron ring which had
trapped an estimated half of the
German armies.
The German High Command had
blithely announced early in the bat
tie that a "counter-offensive" had
retaken Sidi Omar and was NOV
ing across the Egyptian frontier, de-
spite the fact, obvious from the
maps that in this maneuver the Ger
man tanks were going the wrong
way up one-way street" as one
British commentator put it.
The chief Italian mechanical
force, the Ariete division finally
managed to join forces with the
chief remnants of general Rom
mel's tank outfits, and were attempt
ing to break out near Rezegh. But
Rezegh was at the extreme west end
of the British trap, not the extreme
east end, as was Sidi Omar.
1t was obvious that it was at
Rezegh that the main battle was
joined, the battle that would spell
success or failure for the British eff
fort.
Despite the fact that Germany
was sending airplanes from Europe
to back up her tank forces in At
RIGA, the British claimed they were
still able to hold supremacy in the
air, being equipped with hundreds
of American planes in addition to
their own.
The British also claimed they
were steadily widening their wall
within which the Nazis were trapped,
and that each day the battle contin-
ued found them better able to con-
tinue it.

ARMS:
For Merchantmen

As America rushed to arm its
merchantmen in accordance with
the permissions under the neutrality
act as revised, the controversy ragged
holly as to what good the weapons
would do the vessels.
Naval authorities pointed out that
they would do little good If the yes
sci encountered a surface raider.
But against submarines it was a
powerful weapon if the ship were
able to fire lethal weapon at its
attacker.
Naval men gave figures from the
last war, showing that of 800 I'M
armed merchant ships attacked,
only 81 escaped; but of $40 defen-
sively armed merchant vessels at
tackled, 1853 got away.
The secret was this, they said:
Submarines attacking ship while
submerged, must get close enough to
get good view Of the target through
the periscope. Through a choppy
sea this is well-nigh impossible be-
cause the vantage point is SO close
to the surface.
But if submarine may attack a
ship from the surface, then its
chance Of missing its mark is much
less. M
Hence the presence of guns, fore
and aft, ON the armed merchantmen
practically forces the submarine to
remain submerged for its own pro-
lection.
Guns and depth charges on mer-
chantmen may spell safety for q
large percentage, navy men believe.
VICHY:
Surrendered?
London had become perturbed
over reports it had obtained from a
reliable foreign source" that vichy
already had yielded to German de-
mands for air and naval control in
French North Africa.
While the reports had been cur
rent that Petain was ducking a final
showdown with Hitler while watch
ing anxiously the British offensive
in North Africa, it was reported
that the Nazis had taken over four
French commercial airlines.

Firms:
Being Replaced?

The report by the British adj
miralty that submarines of the Roy
al navy had sent to the bottom eight
Axis troopships and supply vessels
recently in Arctic waters gave rise
to the belief that the Nazis were
seeking to replace Finnish troops on
the northern Russian front.
This indicated a probability that
Finland might not ,be as whole
heartedly in the war as the German
High Command would have the
world believe.
One submarine, the British re-
ported, sank five ships and seriously
damaged sixth, and the other sub
sent three to the bottom out Of con-
voy of seven and damaged the 9TH
ers so that their destruction was
believed probable
At least two of the vessels were
carrying troops, London said.

RUSSIA:
Gateway Cain

AS the Russians admittedly had
their backs to the wall in Moscow,
they had claimed an outstanding
victory in the central southern sec
tor where they asserted their armies
had reoccupied Rostov-on-D Don, an
important gateway to the Caucasian
oil fields previously lost to the Nazis.
For several days the Russians
had been talking about counter
attack somewhat to the west Of Ros-
TOW, an attack which was driving
southwark with some success.
At that time Pravda and the army
paper Red Star had limited that this
counter-attack was seriously affect
ing General Won Kleist's supply
lines. A4s tAa tA -
Suddenly the Russian armies fell
with full force on the Won Kleist
army corps, and Kuibyshev report
ed the entire. corps was annihilated
and that the Russians had the Nazi
forces in the Rostov district rush

treat" -as as
The Germans admitted the evacu-
alton, and ascribed it to an effort to
gain time for retaliation against the
attacks Of the civilian population on
the German rear Sin defiance of in
ternational law"
Stripped of its Nazi propaganda
angles, this seemed at least a par
tial admission on the part Of the
German High Commend that the

tured Red dispatches for > week.

FROM THE FARM
EVERYTHING!

ACCORDING TO Wheeler McMil-
len-and he knows if anyone does
future American prosperity will
come from our farms. Farmers
have produced what all of us eat
and wear. In the future they will
produce much of the material that
will be used in industry. The prod
ucts of 100000 American acres
are now going to our industrial
plants and that is but start. From
the farms the scientist and the in
dustrialist will secure products from
which to make many commodities
and make possible that increased
American factory production from
which prosperity is born. The six
year-old science of Chemurgy is re-
sponsible for it all.
