The State Department will offer pilot training courses to a number of Mexican youths in the Unit e d States.
 Initiator of the idea was Vice Pres dent Henry Wallace. When he visit ed Mexico last year, one of the prob lens discussed was the shortage of aviators in the Mexican army. Wal lace was told that Mexico wanted to undertake a pilot-training pro- gram similar to that in the United States, but lacked planes and in- structors.
 Wallace promised to see what could be done about obtaining help from the United States. However, when he preached the matter to the Presi- dent, Roosevelt regretfully explained that planes and instructors could not be spared at this time. All avail able were needed for our own army and navy and for the British.
 However, the President suggested, as a way out of the dilemma, that Mexico be invited to send number of youths to get their training in this country. Wallace readily agreed, and the State Department was en- trusted with the plan.

IRON LUNG ASSURED

On the basis of the response to date, there is question but that sufficient money will be raised here within the next day two to purchase the portable iron lung which will be Juneaus invaluable safeguard against infantie paralysis attacks
 Industry labor, civic, fraternal and patriotic or ganizations have responded along with private ct- zens to make it possible for Juneau to have iron lung hand for emergency. To all contribu- tors, the committee in charge of the campaign ex- presses its sincere thanks.
 Several contributors have asked what will hap pen if there is some money left in the fund after the iron lung has been bought and delivered to the community The committee promises, in that event, that any surplus will be put to a compatible with the purpose for which the entire fund was con- tributed. Prospective donors need have no fears that their gifts may not be needed or that any of the fund will not be put to good use. There is always good work along this line which a little money will do.
 Again Juneau has demonstrated that Alaska really has golden heart-n the generosity of it's people

 There was long silence at the other end and the steel worker lm- patiently repeated his order. "There must be some mistake" came the reply. This is the White House"
 Startled the steel worker replaced the phone. This certainly is a screwy place." he told his compan- ion. q ask for room service and l get the White House. Somebody must be kidding me"
 Just then the phone rang and a voice said, T understand there is a coffee shop a few blocks away. If you will repeat your order, we'll see if we can get it for you"
 More mystified than ever, the steel worker repeated his order. Fifteen minutes later waiter ap- peared with six hamburger sand wiches and big pitcher of coffee.
 Swell" exclaimed the delighted steel worker, 'how much do I owe you?"
 Nothing, sir" the waiter said. This is with the compliments of the White House."
 The steel worker blinked. Some things screwy somewhere" he re- marked, but it's okay with me, pal. Tell the President thanks"
 Next morning the hotel cashier cleared up the mystery. The suite they had occupied belonged to Sec retary Frank Knox, who was out of town, and they had apparently pick ed up his phone connected directly with the White House.

WHAT ENGLAND FIGHTS FOR

The distinction-so vast-between democracy and totataranism has never been better expressed than by Lord Halifax, British Ambassador to the United States In talk to Americans the tall envoy tells in word what his nation is fighting for and what the world will not again for scores of years if his nation falls.
 Says the Ambassadors
 We British are wont to say that are fight ing for freedom and for democracy-for freedom, as the quality of life that desre for democracy as the system of government which is at once it's best expression and the surest guarantee for its pro lection.
 What do mean when we use these large words?
 T can only tell you what I mean and what I know my fellow -countrymen mean, even if they do mot always translate it into precise language; and do not think you will take any different view
 There seem to us to be certain principles that
The Daily Alaska empire., 1941-05-12

are essential to life wish to live and see it
 First the religious principle of the absolute value of every human soul;
 Second the moral principle of respect for per- sonaty and for conscience;
 Third the social principle of individual liberty finding it's expression in two ways in the sphere of politics through equal opportunity, justice and the rule of law; and economically, through the di- recton of national effort to the creation of condi- tions that may bring some real security into the daily life of humblest citizen;
 And, finally, the domestic principle of the sane tity and solidarity of the family, which is the natural development of the individual "A q
 "It is only by slow process that man has learned to apprehend these principles They have come to him by Christianity and by other great religions. They have drawn vitality from the best of human thought throughout the centuries. For us they are expressed and protected by democracy, and that is why value it. Y
 Now there is inch of common ground be- tween those who accept and reject those principles, assert and deny those rights"

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compe"
TUESDAY, MAY 13

OEODA I, MA To
 Threatening stars rule the early hours today, the thirteenth of the month. but later there is a benefic aspect which promises much in the way of constructive work.
 Heart and Home: Routine work should be pursued under this con- figuration. It is a time to enjoy to the utmost all the spring recre- ations while preparing for summer service in defense programs. This is a day promising for gardening and for domestic improvements. It is a lucky day for those who are caring for refugees especially chil- dren. The seers foretell for the fu- ture great national benefits through these guests of the United States, many of whom will become citi- zens.
 National Issues: Planting of pri- vate gardens will be fortunate for many as food aid for war victims continued to be of utmost interest among forward-looking and we'll intentioned citizens of the United States. Agriculture is subject to favorable planetary influences, al though losses from floods and storms will be great in widely sep arated parts of the, country. The seers emphasize the need of recog- nizing the universal brotherhood ot man, even though evil forces bring about wars. r4 International Affairs: AS the year progresses revolutionary move ments will begin to gain secretly, although many innocent men and women will be executed by the Nazi government. If the seerS are to be believed, ultimate victory will be attained by the British with the aid of the United States. The down. fall of the dictators is inevitable. AS the cost of war is felt more and more in Germany and Italy the spirit of conquest will lose its force
 Persons whose birthdate it IS have the augury of year of fair ly good fortune, although there may be deception in certain busi- ness transactions or financial trusts Children born on this day should be lucky, for they will be generous, industrious and far-seeing. They may have quick temper which leads to nasty speech and sarcas- tic comment

WHITE HOUSE HAMBURGERs

Two Pittsburgh steel workers are telling their buddies fabulous story of their experiences in Washington last week And the story is true.
 Sent as union delegates to get the approval of Phil Murray on the new wage contract with Jones and Laugh lin Steel Company, they arrived in Washington late at night and were unable to obtain rooms in the pack ed downtown hotels. Finally they phoned a fashionable outlying hos telry, which had a suite vacant for the night that it would rent for $l0.
 Carrying their battered suitcases. they hustled out and were ushered into handsome six-room suite. Be- fore retiring one of the men picked up the phone, asked for room sery- ice, and ordered "six hamburgers

SHIPPING SHORTAGE

The report that 40 per cent of the lend-leaSe cargoes are being sunk Is only part of the stoI1 of the acute shipping situation facing Britain in the North Atlantic.
 Because of the lack of ships, huge stocks of raw materials are piling up at U. s. ports. The accumulations have become so large that in some instances, such as steel the British are actually turning back some of it for use in U. s. defense production rather than let it lie idle on the docks.

Mrs. Strubing appeared in court
Wednesday for the first time, ac-
companied by uniformed nurse,
her private attorney, Michael

through a lengthy examination at
the hands of Mr.. Friedman.
Obviously angered at the man
ner in which Defense counsel was
puncturing the story told by the
wealthy society woman, whose
husband sat in court watching her
intently, Willis asked the Court to
advise Friedman about "torturing
and badgering" the witness. Judge
Foster Immediately asked the jury
to step out of the room, when
Friedman insisted that this request
constituted a mistrial. The court
reprimanded the prosecutor, but
refused to allow the trial to stop.
According to Mr.. Marshall, the
trial is expected to consume the
balance of this week and run well
into next week. Irwin Friedman,
brother of the defense counsel is
also associated in the case.

when in those sections organic
ing a mining company. Eastern
papers were full of his exploits at
the time. He returned to Helena
with a bride. and several men with
whom he attempted to establish a
small city at his mining claims.
Those who came out here, later
came to Helena and secured en-
ployment. One was a dentist, DR..
Brister. A tale is told that once
when he had sold a claim, he took
a trip east to splurge and finally
found himself stranded. He wrote
to Col. Thomas Cruise, one of our
wealthiest mining men of that
time, for money to return to Hell
ena. Cruise sent him the money
saying, he was too damn smart
a man to live outside of Helena"

If East Indians had military
training they might be in a posi-
ton to defend Dutch interests, but
Dutchmen say arming the natives
is risky-a native trained to fight
is not easily oppressed.
So Japan gets its opportunity to
walk into a country where oppo-
sition is not great and where its
inhabitants, in blood and in reli-
gion, are more closely related to
them than to European whites.
Asia is Japan's natural sphere
of influence. AS long as it stays
there and lets us alone, we ought
to be willing to give it our benedic-
ton.
We listen about the hardships,
cruel treatment, starvation, suf-
fering and the deprivation of edu-
cation sanitary knowledge and me-
dical development for the curtail-
ment of sickness and disease and
its connection with the war and
its ravages among our youth and
children. We deeply sympathize
with war-torn Europe and its suf-
ferers, but we are thoughtful of the
millions of dark, brown and yellow
children and youth who were be-
fore this war, and we hope not af-
ter the war were condemned to
the experience of hate, envy and
greed of the successful Europeans
who enjoyed a civilization built up
upon ignorance, weakness, greed,
force and race and color hate.
