WASHINGTON

Washington, D. c. (NWNS)-
After each talk which President
Roosevelt has made to the nation
in the past year. the first com
ment Of large number OF people.
including many congressman quot
ed in the newspapers. has been.
His talk was practically a dec
laration of war"
One congressman Is known to
have made that or a similar COM
ment following nine different
statements of the Presidents. But
in each case, after the spell cast
by the Presidents voice has fad
ed away and his talk Is analyzed.
II Is evident that, although he is
determined TO see that Hitler is
defeated. he still is wording his
talks to avoid a state of actual
war.
In his most recent talk to the
nation. for example, when he
made 1t clear to Germany that our
ships would shoot first at any
German ships sighted on the At
lantic, he said: 1T is no act of
war on our part when We decide
to protect the seas that are vital
to American defense. The ag-
gression is not ours Ours Is
solely defense"
The President has stated our
policy from now on will be to
protect all merchant ships en-
gagged in commerce" His policy
in regard to this was clearly stat
ed when he said:
mo act of violence will keep us
from maintaining intact two bull
warks of defense: first, our line of
supply to the enemies of Hitler,
and, second, the freedom of our
shipping on the high seas. From
now on, if Germany or Italian ves-
sells of war enter the waters, the
protection of which Is necessary
for American defense, they do so
at their own peril"
Although it is easy to interpret
that statement as almost amount
Ting to a declaration of war, well
known Washington correspondent
seemed to hit the nail on the head
when he said:
"Why do we have to try to ex

able. But he points out that il
isn't war So why do we have to
try to say it is war? We may say
that it invites war or that il is a
step toward war, but in defining
what we actually are doing we
might as well use the terms the
President himself uses rather
than try to tack the war label on
every act"
There are many in Washington
who feel that the Presidents
| speech was merely a matter of in
forming the public about what we
actually have been doing on the
Atlantic for several months. The
action of our navy on the Atlantic
has naturally been kept very Sc
cret and it may be that we have
been shooting first" when it
seemed necessary for some time
past. That of course is guess
work. but there are many we'll
informed men here who make that
particular guess.
Aside from the Presidents S
speech and the reaction of every
one to it, the most talked over
! subject here recently has been
the senate committee hearing to
determine whether the moving
picture industry should be investi-
gated for producing films aimed
at rousing us "to a state of war
hysteria." Although those who
.avor such an investigation con.
sist largely of the leading isola-
ionists in the senate. the case
has been given much attention be
cause Wendell Willkie, last years
Republican candidate for Presi-
dent. is handling the defense of
the movie interests. The isola-
ZIONIST committee claims that the
movies offer no opportunity to
spread their views to the Ameri-
can people but has produced nu-
merous films which it claims are
produced as propaganda for get.
ting us into war. Among the films
named are such well-known ones
as THAT Hamilton Woman" "The
Great Dictator" "Manhunt." "Con-
voy." Escape" and 81 Married a
Nazi."
In defending the stand of the
movie industry. Mr.. Willkie said:
THE motion picture industry de-
spises the racial discrimination of
Naziism. We make no pretense
of friendliness to Nazi, Germany
nor to the detectives and goals OF
this ruthless dictatorship"
Mr.. Willkie has also come into
the limelight here by his state.
ment that he will work in the
coming election for Republican
candidates who support the ad
| ministration's foreign policy but
will be silent where Republican
candidates do not support the
Presidents policy. He made il
clear that opposition to domestic
policies of the President is in
keeping with his own feelings but
he is striving to bring about more
unity in congress on foreign poll
cy.
A more optimistic spirit on get
ting our defense program working
at full speed has been apparent
here since the Presidents recent
appointment of Donald NJ Nelson
who was once vice president oi

requirements, materials available

labor supply. When completed
the survey is expected to give the
first clear picture we have had OF

production. For a long time one
of the chief criticisms of our de
fense program has been lack OF

CUTTING DOWN ON ELECTRICITY

AS government departments take steps to cut
down on civilian consumption of necessary mater
lalS, the consumer is gradually beneftng by an ed
cation in economy.
We have learned, for instance, as a result of the
alleged gasoline shortage, how can drive car on
less gasoline than we have used in the past.
Now because of shortage of electrical power
we are to be taught how to get along with less eec
tricity Some of us have always thought that eec
tricity was limitless
But now with an impending shortage, due to the
great amount of power needed for running defense
plants we are offered dozens of suggestions for cut
ting down our electrical bills. Outstanding among
those suggestions are the following:
l. Turn out lights when they are not need
2 Watch the basement light which some
times burns all night.
g. Conserve on hot water if you have an
electric water heater.
L. Keep the thermostat on your electric
water heater between 1876 and 140 de-
grees, no higher.
B. Keep the radio on only when you are lis
tening to it.
6. Turn off the electric fan when it is not
badly needed.
T. Use very small bulbs for any urgently
needed night lights
s. Use all other electric appliances spar
ngly and efficiently: your electric mix
er, toaster, small heater, washing ma
chine, vacuum cleaner and iron.
g. Don't put hot food or dishes in the re-
frgerator
TO- See that your refrigerator is properly
placed your kitchen. Your refriger-
ator is properly placed in your kitchen
Your refrigerator should be in the cool
est part of the room away from your
radiator, steam pipes, oven or hot sum-
All of those suggestions are good practical ones
which require sacrifice and which will save us all
money. And the best way we can thank the govern
rschp
trical bill is to invest that saving in defense stamps.

The band appeared to express it's thanks for a Chamber gift of $75 toward purchase of it's new uniforms. The uniforms are now completely paid for, Superintendent of Schools A. B. Phillips announced.

That memorial by Senator Leroy Sullivan asking Congress to declare the Niukluk River on-navigable has an interesting story behind it. It seems the stream. over whose sandbars barges are pushed and pull ed to the town of Council, is frozen solid most of the year and too shal- low for navigation most of the bal ance of the time. But an action was begun by the U s. Attorney at Nome last year to prevent mining on the bed and benches of the Niuluk on the theory that it is a navigable stream As there seems to be good deal of gold and very little navigation, Sullivan is trying to have the miners given the right to prospect there.
