Later Mr.. Bruce thought some
thing should be done to perpetu-
ate the day and hit on the idea
of a mural. He appointed a COM
mittee that sought and received
small contributions from all parts
Of the country. Then came the
competition for the mural and Sc
lection of Mr.. Jameson.
The jury was unanimous. 1t was
composed of Duncan Phillips, direc-

Department and has won local
prizes. He studied at the Abbot

exhausted his administrative reme-

Remedies Are Exhausted

The United States Court of Ap-
peals today denied a motion filed
by Ogden H. Hammond, jr., 90

ment which ruled that Secretary

islands is a circumstance of geography and not of power politics. There Russian bases on Big Diomede and no probability that there will ever be.
 But Alaska is still the most direct route from the Orient to North America. If any potential foe in Asia harbors thoughts of attacking America, he would be foolish not to come by way of the Alaska stepping stones.
 We don't think this is the time the place for confusion alarm. But this is certainly the time and place for the people and their leaders to do clear thinking the possibilities and proba- blities of the situation

LIVESTOCK PRODUCTS

Sales-or--loans-to England will be chiefly in livestock products such as canned pork, dried eggs, evapor- ated milk, lard and cheese, which England once got from Poland, Dem mark, and Holland, but doesn't any more
 Agriculture Department experts who have been studying the ques- tion don't expect the British to ask for wheat and corn. England gets all it needs from the Dominions But they figure that British pur- chases of livestock products, such as pork, will greatly help the price of corn and be great boon to the corn belt.
 Whether or not the British will pay for this later or make some kind of swap, has not been de- cided yet. The matter is entirely up to the President, and he has kept completely mum on the subject.
 NOTE: Man at the head of the farm -products-for Britain program is Milo Perkins, a dynamic young Texan, who as Administrator of Sur plus Marketing already is an expert on getting rid of Uncle Sams per- petual excess crops.

Is Another Betrayal Coming?
Philadelphia Record)

tPnllaQelpnla RecOrd)
 For month there have been persistent reports that the Soviet Union is seeking closer relations with Japan. This policy would be extension o that which brought about the German Russian pact of 1889. If Russia can sign treaty of friendship with her natural western enemy why not sigr one with her natural eastern enemy?
 In the case of the Russian-German pact, the resulting victim was Europe If there is a Russian Japan agreement, the victim will be China.
 There signs of that The rift between Chinese Communists and Marshal Chiang Kai-sheks Chungkng Government seems to be widening
 The Communists have presented Chiang with a list of demands which he describes as just like the demands served the (Chinese) Government and the Kuomintang by the Japanese" before the start of the present war in 1887.
 The Communists still maintain front of super patriotism But it is scarcely believabe that Chiang would have diverted troops from the with Japan in order to suppress the Communist Fourth Army recently unless the Fourth Army had been in vrtua rebellion.
 Chiang charges that the Communists insist upor full political control in the dominated by their troops and he charges further that Commun- ist troops do not conform to orders of the nationa Government
 No doubt the Chinese Communists have done an excellent job of organizing resistance to Japan in some regions. (Chiang's non-Communists have done equally good job) No doubt Russian aid to China has been an essential factor in saving China.
 But in any movement to which the Communists contribute there comes time when Communist party aims Ge, Russian policy) and the aims of the movement will conflict. When that happens the Communists do not hesitate to tear down what they have helped to build.
 The present schism in China is especially dis couraging because Chiangs successes against the Japanese continue. The Japanese described the recent seizure of South China cities as of "the ut. most importance ana blow that would finish Chiang.

 Chiang isn't beaten. Nor is he likely to be beaten by the Japanese in the field If defeat to China it will the same vehicle it used in Poland-a pact between the enemy and Russia

ALASKA AND THE WAR

Among good many others, the Seattle Post Intellgencer is disturbed about the position Alaska may find itself in if war comes the Pacific.
 Says the Post-Intelligencer in lead editorial:
 There were cries of No at the Seattle Civic Auditorium Friday night when a speaker at the Town Meeting of the Air suggested that the United States had an interest in the Orient akin to our interest in South America.
 Let's about that
 We have full responsibility for the Philippines at least until 1946.
 We have Alaska. No one suggests that we Island Alaska, is only mile and one-half from Russian Big Diomede The westerly Aleutians are only few hundred miles from Japanese fortified bases. All Alaska, unless well protected, is vul- nerabe to attack by air or sea and Japanese economic interest in salmon and seals has been all too plainly evidenced .
 If the Axis powers should be victorious in Eu- rope we would deal with Japan on Japan's terms or fight-probably on two fronts
 Viewing these facts anyone who suggests that the United States has interest in the outcome of affairs in the Orient convicts himself of simple folly"
 What about threat to Alaska? Does such thing exist is it. Legislators shout in the Senate, just so much hot air" The fact that the United States Army and Navy have seen fit to em- bark on the construction of hundred million dollars worth of defense bases in the Territory should be evidence that in the minds of those who should best be able to estimate the threat to this part of the world such threat does exist.

BRITISH REAL ESTATE

Washington real estate owners have every reason to be pro- British for the expansion of British office space in the Capital has been their greatest godsend,
 Though already occupying space in five buildings. the British Pur- chasing Commission has now taken over new building at a downtown location-15th and M Streets. It was recently sold for $165, 5,0O0. Now the buyer turns around and rents it to the British for $40,000 a year, which means he may get his money back in four years.
 This building is used by the Com missions heavy ordnance units, in- cluding two famous tank experts, General Douglas H. Pratt and Michael Dewar.
 Other buildings being used by the Pure h a in g Commission are the Adams Building, the Hibbs Build ing, the building at 1518 K Street. Andrew Mellon's old apartment house on Massachusetts Ave, and a while floor of the Willard Hotel They have found the Willard space uneconomical, because there are too many bathrooms"
 In addition, the British Embassy distinct from the Purchasing Com mission) has overflowed into new annex, built last summer, and is now building an extension of the Chan cery, to provide IS additional rooms. Also, they have taken over the Wardman residence below the Rock Creek bridge off Massachusetts Ave. to provide quarters for the informa- ton and press section.

HEALTH IN CONGRESS

Genial Congressman Sol Bloom celebrated his Fist birthday about the same time he helped bring the lend-lease bill to final conclusion and he went around the Capitol kicking up his heels and crying, "To hell with vitamins!"
 Health is all matter of cir culation," opined Sol, lapsing into a rhapsodic account of the old days when he was prize fight promoter and they used to fight 50 and 70 rounds. That was real fighting. says Sol.
 Now about circulation, tell you what to do When you take off your shoes at night, rub your feet. Get 'em limbered up Then rub your knees. Circulation, see? And then turn our head this way and that, easy.
 Its all circulation. Some garters prevent circulation. Now look at me" Sol pulls up his trousers in the Capitol lobby to show a garter less sock.

MONDAY, MARCH "A

After the early morning hfurS benefic aspects rule today. There is a sign read as bringing good news of national conditions. It is fair ly favorable rule for constructive projects.
 Heart and Home: Women should find tlle afternoon hours favorable for important work, especially in i.osp. t:,ls or relief headquarters. There IS a sign indicating success h providing entertainment for boys who are in training for national de- sense. Actresses will contribute much to programs that divert thought from war. In the home, realization of world needs and perils will turn girls away from frivolous interests. Love affairs will be serious, although uncertain.
 Business Affairs: Demand for killed workers in the trades will be great among manufacturers and builders engaged in private enter prise. Shortage of skilled men will cause women to be employed in cer- tain mechanical vacations, as pros- ,erity encourages building and man. ufacturing for civilian needs. Again there will be trend of population toward small towns and villages. California and Florida will profit, as government contracts attract thousands to manufacturing centers.
 National Issues: Arbitration in labor disputes will be advocated by farseeing employers and statesmen The stars presage harmony an
