Sudden complete loss of voice

a strong suspicion of its being

Both the loss Of the voice and

Japanese Embassy Silent

Official. German, italian and Rus
sian diplomacy in Washington also
is discreetly silent, at least for the
time being. It's suspected that
these embassies regard the Toxic

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

NJ. A. HIS a hernia in a
small child dangerous? My little
girl is one year old and has a
hernia on her navel, which causes
it to swell up and get hard and
blue when she cries. She is just
beginning to walk and when she
stands it protrudes considerably"
Answer-Small hernias in the
navel are very common and usual
ly close up without any special
treatment. The way you describe
the present case, it seems to me
it is a rather severe and advanced
type and it might require surgery.
1t is well, however, to wait until
little later when the muscles are
more mature, at which time the
chances Of permanent relief are
better. However, l would advise
you to take the advice Of a sur

ing is that DR.. HUI Shin would
greatly like such war. It's nat
ural to suppose that he would, con-
sidering that it would be a big
help to the Chinese. in their strug-
gle with the Japs, to have the lat
ter physically jumped on by Uncle
Sam from our side of the Pacific.
Germany and Italy wouldn't mat
tire as Jap allies; they haven't any
strength in the Orient at present.
And DIR. HUI Shin doesn't think it
would be logical for the Russians
TO turn overtly anti-Chinese; any
way not now. on the opposite
hand Britain, being fully occupied
elsewhere, couldn't be bit helpful
TO Chang Kai-shek at today's
juncture, but Uncle Sam ?-gosh,
yes!
Nevertheless, reasoning dispas-
sionately, DR.. Hu Shin responds to
the Toxic press forecast with an
emphatic, pooh, pooh"
British Ambassador Halifax
agrees with DR.. HUI Shih, perhaps
partly because he prefers to do so;
the British want our aid across the
Atlantic; they decidedly don't want
us to divert our strength to Far
Eastern waters.

 Of course, some of the men who will be out of work when the defense period comes to a close will go right to work in the mighty effort which Ameri- will undoubtedly be called upon to put forth to rebuild a war-runed Europe.
 Food-thousands of tons of it-must be shipped, immediately the fall of Hitler is accomplished, to the thousands Europeans who will be in starving condition. Then there will be the long, slow process of restocking European countries with the equipment for peece-tme production which has been destroyed by the bombs of war.
 Hundreds of herds of cattle, focks of chickens and other livestock must be sent to the Old Coun- tries, so farmers there can get start at feed ing their fellow citizens Bags of seed must be sent them, too, so they will be able to grow feed crops and once more carry on the job of supporting their fellow countrymen.
 But this help in Europe's reconstruction problem
 
 would be thrown into unemployment by the end of defense work It is with this in mind that em- poyees of the National Resources Planning Board have been busy planning works projects which will be of benefit in the development of the nations sources, and at the time will buffer period for workmen between the time they layed off their defense jobs and the time they find steady jobs in peace-time pursuits.
 The possibilities for these works projects are almost endless There is much that needs being along lines of construction aHd development almost any field we think of that the planners may be faced with choosing the most feasible pro- jects and those which would be most worthwhile, rather than having to scratch their heads to find things to do.

MUNITIONS BOSS

The Gas, Coke and Chemical Di- vision covers all workers in the munitions industry, which of course is rapidly expanding, and the union is keeping step with this growth.
 So by installing Gassaway and his daughter at the head of this union, Lewis quietly made himself labor, boss of one of the most strategic defense industries He put himself in key position where the Govern ment must deal with him to obtain gun powder for the Army, Navy and Air Corps.
 Also, he ensured that the union will vote as he orders at the CIO convention.
 Story No. 3, the only one that attracted attention, was the Lowden- Hoover-Landon attack on Roosevelt's aid-Russia policy. Lewis was one of the fifteen signers of the blast, and thus disclosed the circuitous political game he is playing.
 To the rank and file of the CIO John L. is parading as an ardent defender of their interests. Labor has no real representation in the defense setup" is his battle cry and his henchmen's. But simultaneously he is lining up with old Guard Re-

Censorship
(New York Times)


 In democratic country still technically at peace it is impossible to keep the lid all military secrets. Any one ships coming and going in the harbor and people have a tendency to talk in- discreety in public places. The air is full of infor- nation useful to Great Britain's enemies and poten tial enemies of ours and there plenty of little pitchers" all around. At present any one who has to Berlin Tokyo simply sending birthday greetings to Aunt Emma. That is why the Navy Department is seeking legislation to permit the cen- soring of outgoing cable and wireless messages
 The idea of censorship is abhorrent to Ameri- cans, but so is war itself. If comes the other follows logically. The question is whether under present circumstances steps shouldn't be taken at once to prevent Axis agents from nullifying, to some extent our help to Britain by cabling precise information about the movement of conveys and warships. The British, who share our own feelings about free speech and freedom of the press, have managed through two years of war to prevent leak ages of military information without curbing the rights of their press their people.
 Strictly limited to outgoing cable and wireless messages it is difficult to how censorship of military information would impnge upon any ones rights of speech except possibly those of agents for totaitaran Powers who have very low regard for such manifestations of democracy. In granting powers of censorship to the Navy however, Congress should take care to define and limit them so that they cannot be stretched to cover anything more than is intended

QUESTIONING THE FALL

What is the nation going to do with the millions of and women who will cease working in de- fense industries or serving in military forces when the present emergency is passed?
 In particular, what is Alaska going to do with the host of unemployed which a sudden stop in de- fense work would dump in the lap of the Territory? Those questions, which probably worry all of us a little when we pause long enough to ponder them, to be the official worries of the Ma tional Resources Planning Board which recently opened an office in Juneau Just how serious the situation is likely to be pointed out yesterday by J. c. Kettle, acting counselor in the planning board office here, when he talked to luncheon meeting of federal employees.
 According to the rate at which defense work is expected to build up, by 1914 there will be total of 27OOOO0O persons in this country either in uni form in active defense industry work. There are approximately 6,600,000 in military defense work this year It is expected that this number will be swelled to 1420OOO0 by 1s41 and to 18,500OOO by 1943.
 Charts also show that the national income this year will be about $84 900 OO0O0O and that by 1944 there should be the equivalent of $1O5O00O 100000 in national income, granted the purchasing power of the dollar should not change between and then. In planning to weather the post-defense period without suffering the almost inevitable resultant era OI unemplOyment ana economic QepreSSlOI, the Ma tional Resources Planning Board feels that we Amer jeans must have the following high objectves in view

 This juxtaposition charts Lewis strategy. As President of the CIO, the ally of the COP Old Guard, and an isolationist leader, he would be at the top of the political heap. In next years congressional elections and in 1944, he could write the ticket, pos sibly even put himself on it.. ~
 This ambition is Lews' consuming passion second perhaps to his hatred of Franklin Roosevelt.

 Heart and Home: Women are splendidly directed by the stars on this date which stimulate them to unselfish work and to high achieve ment for the public good. Govern ment policies which have strong influence in molding their opinions regarding war responsibilities will undergo certain changes which will be beneficial to the husbands and sons enlisted in defense forces. This should be fortunate for cer- tain boys serving in the Navy which is to gain fame for its exploits.
 Business Affairs: There is an evil portent for Labor and a sign is read as most unfortunate for the air service. Sabotage will cause losses through novel method, more or less indirect. Prosperity will attend our trade and com merce as our stores of food are increased through generous crops Manufacturing will achieve mar vels in production and inventors will contribute magical designs that improve our airplanes and sub marines. Housing problems will take on new angles as preparations for the winter must be made. 9lf
 National Issues: As the month ends the habit of putting off un- pleasant tasks and forgetting sug- gested dangers will bring to the American people abundant cause for regret.

The world will then enter a new phase of the lfar-flung war. The United States comes under planetary sway read as presaging at least two years of antagonism on the part of the Axis powers.
