Alaska's Value
Seattle post-Intelligenceo

Seattle Post-Intellgencer)
 Aaska's gold production during 194O valued at $25375o00 tops all previous yearly records brings its total production past $56l 00000
 Quite neat profit from original investment Of S72o0OO0
 Economists, of course, will point out quirk in current figures, with gold priced higher than in earlier years. Some, indeed, would question any figures based gold production, raising the issue as to whether intrinsic and monetary values are to be considered in the category
 That may be answered by pointing out that the Yukon and Alaska discoveries of the Kondike era strikingy altered worldwide financial conditions, completely changed the trend of monetary theory over large part of the United States-and inci- dentally made Seattle as a modern city
 But complete answer is that whatever happens to gold Alaska has other resources of more substantial value on any method of reckoning. The red flesh of its salmon today is worth than its yellow metal And fisheries will become in- creaslngly important asset in world at war-and growing increasingly hungry.
 There are dangers in being too well provided with this worlds goods hungry man would starve with no other nourishment than the gold buried at Fort Knox An envous aggressor nation might or might not be able to that gold-but it certainly could use Aaska's salmon.
 To guard the wealth that has been developed and conserved by our own national efforts is among the duties that men now alive owe to posterity
 Alaskas wealth and its exceedingly important strategic position in continental defense accuredy justify all the steps thus far taken in establishment of air bases and other military measures. Much more might well be done.

A Bad Time for Threats
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enquirer)
 The United States is the point of major decisions on its policy toward the This is the one obvious explanation of the burst of threats that have come from the German and Italian Govern ments warning the American people not to aid Britain actively with American vessels. The Axis powers know American intervention would destroy their hopes of victory. They know the American people do want war. So they. are trying their only available weapon, which is that of threat.
 In itself this weapon is not strong one No American is going to be influenced by the fear of what Italy do to this country And few Ameri- cans will be plunged into fear by Herr Goebbels' loud threats that American saings to Ireland will be treated as acts of war-which, of course, they would not be in law fact.
 Yet the warnings of the Fascist governments may have an indirect effect For they provide new and telling arguments for those unconscious tools of the totalitarian powers-the Wheeers and Holts and Johnsons Bent on blocking really vigorous gener- ous aid to Britain, these men intend to campaign against the admnstrations plan for aiding Britain and to argue that any extension of assistance will plunge us into Goebbels and Virginia Gayda are providing the warlike threats which the extreme isolationists will wied However unconsci- ous their cooperation Is highly efficient.
 The Axis threats against the United States do serve one wholesome purpose They identify the men in America who are playing the game of the Axis without awakening to the meaning Of their own words and gestures

BIG NAME COMMITTEE

In addition to the promotional drive, a big-name executive com mittee was set up, headed by Wood as Chairman and Stuart as Ma tional Director. Under this title young Stuart, operating from his fathers Quaker Oats office in the Chicago Board of Trade Building, is signing the letters and other campaign.
 The elder Stuart, not known to be particularly isolationist, has a fatherly pride in his sons meteoric rise. At the same time, he is fear tul oi the effect on Quaker Oats and not entirely at ease over hay ing his son use his office. There already have been some sharp pro- tests from stockholders.
 Young Stuart says that contri- buttons are coming in at the rate of $50 day and that not more than Sl,000 is accepted from any one person.
 While Stuart Jr., is playing the role Of general in his fathers or nate office, the real master -minding of America First is securely in the hands Of the executive committee The committee is not only the heart of the organization but of the whole lsolationist-appeasement movement.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1941-01-11

B0wles, who with General Wood did most of the early promotional work in the Middle West and now is the most dominant influence in the organization with
 Castle, considered the brains" of the movement. Castle is credited with. advising the organization not to have Lindbergh openly associ- ated with it. The flyers name ap- peared on one of the early America First lists, when behind the scenes he worked actively with Stuart and turned over to him his personal mailing list of thousands of names. Castle is convinced Germany will win the war and favors a concilia- tory policy toward Japan, although he hotly denies that he is an ap- peaser.
 Henry Ford, bitter union hater, holder of a high Nazi decoration.
 Kathryn Lewis, daughter and confidential secretary of John L. Lewis, a strong appeasement advo- cate. Miss Lewis never does any thing without the approval of her father and on the committee she is recognized as his representative
 Jay C. HOrmeI, Minnesota meat packer, who as member of the I~oncy Committee at the Republi- can convention, enthusiastically ap- plauded the olationist-appease- ment demands of Representative Ham" Fish.
 Mrs. Burton K. Wheeler, strong willed wife of the Montana Sena- tor, who had a hand in getting America First under way on a national scale. Mrs. Wheeler speaks on the committee both for herself and her husband.
 Thomas N. McCarter, founder and chairman. until 1889, of the giant Public Service utility in New Jersey. A close friend of Joe Pew millionaire COP boss of Pennsyl- vania, McCarter is considered among intimates as being Fascist-minded.

INDIANS ON THE INCREASE

Alaska census figures for l94O have not been broken down as yet to show how many of the Ter ritorvs 9ll residents are natives In 1930 had few more Indians than whites the official totals being 29e83 natives as against 28640 whites.
 That this slight balance has by now been tipped the other way is indicated by a recent statement of John Collier United States Commissioner of Indian Affairs which gives the Indian population of Alaska as approximately 330OO" This would show ten year gain of 5000 natives and 10000 whites The whites would thus be about 5000 in the majority to- day. There are, in addition, about 1000 residents of Alaska who can be cassed as neither Indians whites These are Chinese, Japanese, Negro, Fili- pinos Mexicans, Hawaiians and Koreans
 As matter of fact the 194o census figures for Alaska are already badly out of date. On October l. 1889, the "as of" census date for Alaska the na- tional defense construction program had not really begun. Thousands of soldiers, marines workmen and their families, and the tradesmen which such a gain in population attracts, have north since. This influx has increased the white population and still further outweighed the native.
 The true picture of Alaska population today would probably be about Al GOO whites 33000 natives and 1000 who are neither Although the native population is the increase, the white population increases even rapidly and it is already in correct to say Alaska is half native and half white
 Throughout the United States the Indian popu- laton is increasing much more rapidly than the white Collier estimates the Western Hemisphere's native population at 30 0000000 This compares with an estimated H. 100000 at the time Columbus first sighted American shores. Receding before the more aggressive whites, the Indians of the United States were reduced from approximately 900000 in l492 to one-fourth Of that pre-Coumbian number. It is in the last decade that the Indian has made his most spectacular gain Today the Indian population of the 48 States is about 36l GOO with another 330o0 in Alaska
 The Indian Commissioner views the once vanishing American Indian as a dynamic factor in the battle between democracy and dictator ship His thesis is that the Indian is essentially democratic and has, in spite Of vastly inferior bers already exerted a measurable influence the

obtained the crack services of Eaten, Barton, Durstine & Osborn, of which COP Representative Bruce Barton is president; Ruthrauff & Ryan; and several other big-shot advertising outfits.
 It was this aggregation of mas ter minds that planned and placed the newspaper ad campaign. The ads were prepared in rough draft by Stuart and turned over to Will ham B. Benton, vice-president Of the University of Chicago and for ner partner of BowleS. Benton then rewrote them and sent them to Bowles, who did some more re- vising and relayed them to Gen eral Wood, who also made some changes. In this form they were published.

ment that sponsored a speech by Earl Browder head of the U. s. Communist Party. The same argu- ment of freedom of speech was used to defend both affairs.
 Lindbergh's talk was big suc- cess, and Stuart's movement at tracted the notice of certain busi- ness and social leaders in Chicago. Chief among them were General Robert Wood, head of Sears, Roe- buck; Edward L. Ryerson, director of Inland Steel and a number of other large concerns, including Quaker Oats; Mrs. Janet Aver Fairbank, wealthy socialite; and Chester BoWles, chairman of Ben ton and Bowles, one of the biggest advertising firms in the country.
 Through these potent contacts, Stuart quickly met others who also were keenly interested in the possibilities of his movement. Among them were William Castle, Under Secretary of State in the Hoover Cabinet, one of the closest intimates of the former President, and the original master mind be- hind Lindbergh; Senator Burton K. Wheeler, isolationist Democrat; and Senator Boo Taft, runner-up for the COP presidential nomination at Philadelphia.
 Stuart became so enthusiastic about Taft and his isolationist views that at the Philadelphia con- vention he refused to swing over to Willkie even after he was nom mated, because Willkie advocated aid 10 Britain.

 National Issues: Reforms in .gov- ernment expenditures of cities and counties will be urged as economi- cal administration of public affairs becomes more and more urgent Waste and graft will be exposed as so prevalent that Congress will be interested in aiding efforts to- ward the purging of political ma chimes. The future is bringing to this nation serious tests in which citizens must prove their worthi- ness as members of the greatest of democracies.
 International Affairs: Statesmen in England and the United States are warned to safeguard their health. The stars seem to presage for Winston Churchill, the great Prime Minister of Britain, break down due to long nerve strain. Other English leaders come under sinister portents as war adds to their anxieties and perplexities. In Washington there may be illness among members of Congress. The stars foreshadow the passing of many aged persons of prominence. Accidents of extraordinary sorts may disable men and machines valuable to the Federal govern ment.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not compel"
SUNDAY, JANUARY 12

Benefic aspects rule today, d. though adverse p,anetai infiu- ences are active. It is fortunate for the clergy who will note a re- surgent interest in religion.
 Heart and Home: Tn the family today there may be a sense of un- rest and even discontent which should be quickly overcome. The tendency to behold what is un- pleasant while ignoring the bless ings. may be apparent among the young. The mind may be open to discouraging suggestions, but warn- ing is given that this is time to rejoice in peace and liberty, for. the stars presage grave test1 in the future. It is well to make the most of present joys.
 Business Affairs: Fluctuations in the stock market will be sharp as the winter advances. Weather con- ditions will be severe and may cause losses for various industries. Obstacles affecting freight con-. signments and shippings are fore. told. General business will continue to expand and employment will ex- tend to many workers long de- prived of jobs. Warning is given that Nazi power will be used in a trade war that must be kept in mind as the United States prospers at the beginning of 194l.
 National Issues: While public eff forts to eliminate fifth-column in- fluence are pushed relentlessly, the danger of gains in quarters hither- to unsuspected is emphasized by astrologers. Among our intellectuals, so-called persecution will stimulate secret work by writers and lectur- CTS. Women as well as men will use subtle methods to distort points of view on international problems. Straight thinking should be constantly encouraged and dis royalties of any kind should be rebuked. q
 International Affairs; According to a foreign astrologer, the people of the United States will be sub- jected to incredible experiences within the next two years. In May, l942, Saturn and Uranus enter the sign of Gemini. This and other aspects warn of great perils to democracy as it is maintained in this country. It is pointed out that the Revolution and the Civil War took place with Uranus in Gemini.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of really good fortune. Sudden and unex- pected gains are indicated for many.
 Children born on this day will meet with success and happiness along the path of life. They should have fine intelligence strong will and sturdy character.

MONDAY, JANUARY l3


 Conflicting planetary aspects are active today In the morning the judgment should be keen and later there is sign making for fore sight. Planning is under an auspici- ous sway
 Heart and Home: Women should follow routine affairs today. Under this configuration girls will find their best inspiration in books and not in love affairs. For time the interests of women will be sub merged beneath duties that belong to the home or to wage-earning, for world changes will affect father, brothers and husbands first. It is well to keep the mind open to new suggestions as it becomes necessary to make social and eco- homie readjustments.
 Business Affairs: Labor troubles must be eliminated as war clouds continue to draw nearer to the na- tion's possessions. The stars presage perils that must speed defense preparations to the limit. Har- mony among unions is indicated as a possibility before strikes cause serious results. Trade and com- merce will continue most favorable. with novel innovations affecting
