 "Oh. hullo,' replied Johnson. Again there was a silence, which was brok- en by Willkie with an inquiry about Johnson's destination.
 ''Oh, I'm just going fishing" and then, thawing little, the General added that he had not been able to attend the Senate committee hearing because he had been busy with an article.
 That fellow Clark (isolationist Missouri Senator),n remarked Will kie conversationally, Ifs one of the dullest persons I've met in long time I don't see how he keeps in office"

sign of the times and model for the future is the worlds first pane-devered magazine the air express edition of Time which will go to the far corners of the world beginning with the May issue. The air express edition will be almost identical with the regular edition of Time, but will be printed on special lightweight paper to lessen the cost of air delivery Its cost will be so per year delivered just double the cost of the regular mail edition.

companies are going to have to de- eide very soon whether they continue building both commercial and milit- tary planes or only the latter.
 For months this debate has been raging inside the Defense Commis- sion. With tagging plane production War Department chiefs are demand ing that the companies concentrate only on military orders. But with civilian air transportation more pop ular than ever this would mean a serious business loss to many com mercial companies.
 So after many hours of secret de- bate the Aircraft Priorities Commit tee has sent representative to the Pacific Coast to investigate. Upon his recommendation will depen whether commercial airlines es get more planes or not.

Germany's Peace Aims
(New York TimeS)

(New York Times)
 The recurrent demand for a statement of the peace aims of Great Britain and her allies is seldom accompanied by a similar demand for statement by Adolf Hitler of his peace objectives This is not too surprising, for the Nazis and their apologsts are well aware that the Fuehrer is not man of his word. Yet of his actions hint of the road that he would follow were he to achieve peace while defeated in Europe
 How would the map of Europe look under vic- torious Hitler? Is it conceivable that a man who has uprooted hundreds of thousands of German speaking persons from Lithuania Latvia, Estonia Finland, Poland Rumania and elsewhere would per init non- Germans to live in war important" places? It is not fantastic to believe that the selfstyled fanatical' leader of the Germans would uproot Nor wegans, Danes, Hollanders, Begians and French from the seacoasts to freeze forever the Ger man grip on the Continent. Indeer, there is no reason to believe otherwise. The peace aims of the Nazs which recorded in hundreds of speeches and books and written in horror upon the minds of persons in many countries read like nightmare
 "The world order which we seek" said Presi- dent Roosevelt in his address to the Seventy Congress, "is the cooperation of free countries working together in friendly, civilized society" Under the Nazi belief in the inherent superiority of the new order they have established only a Deutschland ueber Alles' could be regarded an acceptable peace aim of the Third Reich.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
TUESDAY, MARCH 4


 Benefic aspects dominate today but there are strong adverse plane tary influences. In. the early hours the judgment may be unreliable but later, foresight may be keen. <
 Heart and Home: Self-denial that enables generous contributions to relief is recommended to families of all classes. This is the time to make ready for future exigencies when there may be lessened op- portunity to indulge in luxuries Simplicity in dress and economy ill the purchase of non-essentials are enjoined. Dancing is to become less popular as serious demands upon time affect young as well as old. Training classes of many sorts now will take the place of bridge. Business Affairs: AS the United States assumes more and more the character of an immense armed camp, there will be amazing pros perity in which persons of all walks of life will participate. Skilled hands in industry will profit as much as trained brains in the learned professions. The value Of mechanical ability will be recog- nized as never before. This is a lucky date for merchandising. Ini- tiative is under the best sway. e
 National Issues: AS aid for starv- ing victims of ruthless war be- comes of greater necessity, there is danger of treachery in connec : tion with British blockade reglla- tions. While there will be opposi- tion with British blockade regula- tion to sympathetic policies that are rapidly involving this nation in world perils, the stars forecast inevitable participation in t,4l Q greatest of human conflicts. Unity of thought and action is empha- sized as imperative at this time by the seers. a0
 International Affairs: Demands for government in India will be more insistent this spring, it is forecast, for Mars will culminate at Delhi in Capricorn, India's rul- ing sign. Wise diplomacy may as- sure an ally to democracy if in dependence is attained without bloodshed Intensified world war fare is prognosticate as this month progresses Evil portents are read as most threatening for the demo- cratic ideals and those who defend them.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of ex- treme activity. Prosperity is foro- seen and much unexpected good luck may be expected.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be fortunate all through their lives. Ambitions will be real- ized. Many will gain fame.

NEW FARM BOARD

After many years of supporting the New Deal farm program, the powerful Farm Bureau Federation wants to set up a new government farm agency which it would largely dominate.
 In backstage congressional con- velsations the farm leaders have proposed that the AAA, the Soil Con- sergation Service and the Farm Se- curity Administration be taken away from the Department of Agriculture and made a completely separate agency. Then they want five-man board to run these important bu- reaus.
 Naturally, they expect to have a goodly representation of members on that board.
 So far, Vice President Henry Wal lace and Secretary of Agriculture Wickard are vigorously opposed. So also is the President.
 NOTE. = Herbert Hoover estab- lished a famous farm board to buy wheat. It was mess.

Now here is my point-there are many in this Territory who can well afford to pay anywhere from $100 to $1 ,O0O who neither drink nor smoke. They pay NO Territorial tax. There are others who because of their Faith, neither drink, smoke or dance. they earn, many of them, as much or more than we do, but they pay NO Alaska tax. Then there are the outside fishermen and miners who come to Alaska for short season. who earn and take out anywhere from three to ten thousand dollars. Possibly they have an occasional binge. and pay twenty-five cent tax, but they either smoke pipe, roll their own or chew snuff, conse- quently they pay very little or NO tax at all.
 Now all these liquor. cigarette, gas- oline and other nuisance taxes will have to be high enough to make peo- pie like us pay enough taxes to take care of all of those people who pay no taxes, but reap all the benefits. You might say, Well. quit smoking and drinking then" Many of us will have to-or roll our own and 30 to the bootlegger who pays no taxes. I don't know much about this par ticular income tax bill that is before the Senate, but I do know that the only just and fair tax is an income tax that makes EVERYONE pay his share according to his ability to pay.

SHIPPING CRISIS

It has not leaked cut yet but to relieve the shipping shortage the Maritime Commission was on the verge of arranging a deal on all Danish ships hl American haIbors- when New York insurance men sud- denly killed the plan
 The plan was for American ship ping companies to charter the Dan ish ships and use them only in the Pan-American neutral zone. This would have avoided their seizure by Germany. would have given the Danish owners some revenue, and would have released other ships in

 March 3, I94l. To The Editor of The Empire:
 As just a plain citizen I'd like to vent my ire at being sucker" Tax payer. I believe in taxes,-but I don't believe SOME should pay the taxes for ALL. I think it is about time hat we have tax in this Territory that makes EVERYONE pay his just share.
 The political seers that be, are say- ing that when the legislative session IS all over, we will have liquor tax. a two cent package cigarette tax. a gasoline tax and NO income tax. Well, we are just an average family with the average amount of minor vices. We smoke three packages of cigarettes a day between us. That makes a cigarette tax for the year of S2l.9O. We will also pay $10 or SIP on the liquor tax. That makes over $50 tax year for US. Our taxi rides Will increase to take in the gas tax, 50 our tax bill to the Territory will be still higher.

 But the New York underwriters refused to insure the cargoes of the Danish ships. They feared that the Danish crews, once they go on the high seas, would sail for Germany instead of South America. So the Maritime Commission hopes to put American crews on the ships.

looked away and whispered. Then
one lad sneaked around him, stole
his staff and limped around in such

every one laughed
The boy thought he was very

back he poked the old man IN the
ribs. But as he did so queer
thing happened: green leaves sprung
from the staff.
The boy turned and ran and the

moved farther away. So the ole

annoyed and said, "Beggers can't

M. Plaza, Ecuadorian consul at San
Deigo, believes that on peaceful
settlement of the border dispute
between his country and Peru hangs
much of the hope for Pan-American
solidarity against potential European
incursions
Back from flying trip to Ecuador,
Sentor Plaza told interviewers he
was convinced that this years fresh
outbreak of the century old contro-
versy had been stage-managed by
Nazi propagandists.
He cited these evidences of what
he termed Axis methods:
Bombing of unfortifled towns to
terrorize civilians; stripping of con-
quered territory: use of parachute
troops and mechanical units: estab-
lishment of concentration camps for
enemy civilians.
The border dispute is test
case of the validity of the high
ideals so often expressed by the Pres
ident of the United States and
voiced by American and British gov
ernments in the Atlantic Charter"
