fortunate sway for merchandising. The public mind under this plane tary government may be apprehen- sive and ,foreboding, although there are signs of great promise for the ultimate supremacy of the United States among all nations.
 National Issues: Secrecy among officials in Washington who must maintain silence regarding certain plans will arouse criticism. The President and his Cabinet will carry heavy responsibilities that re- quire the utmost wisdom and di- plomacy. for what is hidden from the people is likely to be alarming for lovers of peace. Leaders of the opposition to Administration poli- cies are to learn the need of unity among patriotic Americans.
 International Affairs: Astrolo- gers declare that despite many trials and tribulations, treacheries and betrayals, France is to sur- vive as a nation, although the out look for this year of 1941 is one of evil portents. Economic condi- tions will become extremely seri- ous as agriculture is restricted by war and lack of men to till the earth. Surprising and dramatic events are prognosticated.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of varied fortunes. Financial ups and downs will be followed by unexpected good luck.
 Children born on this day may have varied and interesting careers. They should be gifted and endowed with noble traits of character. Copyright, 194D

The Punishment of Amsterdam
Philadelphia Record)


 Amsterdam is punished Its penalty for the re- cent riots against the Nazs is 15OO0000 guilders about s8o00O00
 You figure what that means by remember ing that Amsterdam is was-a city of about 80o.000, and that on comparable basis a conquered Philadelphia of 100000 would be fined $2000OOOO.
 Where would the city government of Philadelphia find $20,000,00O within a week? Only by confisca- ton. How could any city government obey the Nazi demand that the fine be collected, within six weeks, from all inhabitants making over $5,OO0 year? Only by confscation
 That's what this Nazi order means. It is con- fscaton of the property of the people of Amsterdam It is peculiarly Illuminating example of the icy ruthlessness of Hitler and the heels who are de- bauching Europe with him.
 The point is that after this ransom is paid there are not likely to be many more riots in Amsterdam It is one way of subjugating people well as their Government It is the way the Nazis subju- gated their people. It is the totaltarian way wherever totalitarianism conquers

The RAE. Cuts Loose

Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 Released bys the assurance of American aid from the bonds of strategy described penurously de- fensive, the British Royal Air Force has begun large lcae bombing attacks against factories, railroad ter ninas, airports docks and warehouses in Germany md the occupied countries.
 From the start of the the R.A.F pilots have been outnumbered and have been compelled to fly reaer distances than the Germans to retaliate for 5he bombing of British cities. Moreover the con- stant threat of invasion made it necessary for the British to adopt cautious policy, designed to their to the fullest extent possible in anticipation of the day when Hitler would try to land troops in the British Isles The handicaps of numbers and distance still remain, but there is nope that, with American help, the time will 2ome when British flyers will be able to carry out Churchills promise that every bomb dropped on English soil will be returned four-fold to Germany.
 Long ago the Royal Air Force achieved daylight mastery of the air over Britain. And there is cause for rejoicing that improved defenses against night bombing have now reduced the ratio of night bomb- ing planes shot down from one in 30 to in 20 which raid the British Isles. When the proportion ish sources the hazard of night bombing losses will outweigh their military effectiveness.
 But perhaps the most significant and encourag ing of all is found in the terse references to regular daylight offensive patrols conducted by the Royal Air Force over the invasion ports along the coasts of France and Belgium.
 This means that the Royal Air Force is acquiring daylight control over enemy territory objective which the R-AF achieved during the last year of the first World War When this control is finally and completely obtained, it will eliminate virtually all daytime military activity in the areas so pa- trolled.
 Todays defenders of liberty and democracy are the boys of matchless courage and skill who maneu yer the speedy fighting planes over Britain and the Channel and pilot the long range bombers Nazi land. Now that constantly increasing supply of planes from the United States is assured the Royal Air Force is in position to open up and show Hit Ter how it feels to be the receiving end of an aerial blitzkreg

A YEAR AT THE MINE

The annual report of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company shows that the amount of ore mined and trammed to the mill during 1940 was the greatest in the history of the company that operating costs reduced slightly, but that a five-cent per ton decrease in grade of ore as pared with the previous year offset these advan tages.
 Before deductions for taxes, depreciation and depletion the operating profit for the year sl.4Ol 75853 In view of the reduced earnings, the Directors considered it advisable to reduce the dividend rate to 50 cents per share per year.
 These figures are of interest to everyone in Juneau, for nothing means much to this com munty the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company Its continued prosperity means the continued pros- perity of Juneau.
 During the year the main shaft was sunk from the 10O0foot level to the 1,300-foot level to pre- pare for mining the between those levels. A drainage tunnel started in 1886 was completed, the total length being 10000 feet drift to the east started the 100O-foot level for explor- ing the deep levels of the South Orebod the largest unexplored area in the mine. Development in known orebodies during the year established increase in the dimensions of some ore blocks
 All this activity goes on at Juneaus front door without most of realizing apprecating from day to day the great importance of the work being done underground.
 
 67876 of Alaska Juneau gross profits last year. De- ducting this sum and allowances for depreciation and depletion, the profit before Federal income taxes amounted to $851 56291 Federal income taxes took $12986522, leaving s72169769 net profit for the year. This was realized on production revenue of $444717l3o and represents only about 16 percent of such revenue.
 The three varieties of taxes which show in the mines profit and loss statement amount to more than half the net profit In other words every time the Company earns dollar for its stockholders it has already paid more than 50 cents in taxes
 Rock trammed from the mine in 194O amounted to 473s79o tons. During the year 5O4150 pounds of powder were used in blasting powder drifts and 55,25o in deep stopping in the blasting of long hold stations making total of 594OO pounds of powder more than 25o tons-for primary breaking.

SCATTERING DEFENSE FACTORIES

Weary Westerners who have been dragging their maps around to Army brass-hats and National De- fenSe chiefs for months, trying to get new factories located west ot the Mississippi, view the new Plant Site Board with wary eye. They're wondering if the new board really will do something about distribut- ing defense industries, or whether its just foxy piece of window dressing
 The Westerners heard Roosevelt promise that all sections of the country would share in the de- Iense program, then watched the orass-hass cram factories into the overcrowded East. They have seen labor shortages, boom town head aches and mass worker migrations develop. Finally they have been tipped off that the Plant Site Board was set up to keep Con- gress from kicking over the traces and creating its own locating com mittee.
 So naturally they're skeptical And the first meeting of the Plant Site Board increased their skepti- cism.

BRAINS, NOT MONEY

Clarence Burlington Kelland is at the top of his profession when it comes to magazine fiction writ ing, but what he doesn't know about politics would fill the long, est serial written
 Kelland, a super Roosevelt hater, is Republican National Committee man from Arizona, where he lives on a model ranch. His efforts to spread the COP gospel there have been something less than sensa- tional, since Arizona still remains one of the strongest Roosevelt states in the country.
 Last year, though, when polls showed the President leading in Arizona by wide margin, Kel- land adamantly insisted the state could be swung to Willkie. COP campaign chiefs paid little atten- tion to him, but Kelland had bet ter luck with the candidate him. self. Willkie went 400 miles out of his way to make a speech in Ari- Zona.
 Election results confirmed tn c judgment of the campaign chiefs but Kelland wasn't satisfied. Dur ing the recent National Committee meeting in Washington the post mortemed noisily to luncheon group which included Mrs. Worth ington Scranton of Scranton, Pa veteran National Committeewoman

RUBBER STAMP?

RUBBER STAMP?
 Why do we have to adopt a policy?" Fuller asked. "All we're going to do is pass on Army and Navy recommendations
 That wasn't my idea of the boards duties," drawled Clifford Townsend, OPM Agricultural Ad- wiser. Tt seems to me we'd be running out on Congress and the President if we didn't take the bull by the horns and try to spread out defense work"
 Well now" cautioned Fuller, T don't believe We can make any hard and fast rule on locating fac tories. In some cases it may be necessary to build near existing fa- cilities."
 "Why?"
 Because of shortage in plant superintendents," replied Fuller gravely..
 Townsend caught his breath winked at Nelson, idrawled: Tt would seem to me that it might be Ia little simpler either to train new superintendents or have each one supervise two plants by tele- phone or airplane, than to force thousands of workers to migrate across the country to an already overcrowded community"
 This reasoning, apparently, made sense to the other Board members Despite Fuller's protest, the policy proposed by Nelson of scattering plants was adopted. Also, Edwin Martin, crack young economist, was named as the Boards research di- rector.
 Martin and his chief, Sidney Hillman,, also favor dispersal o1 defense plants, but the Westerners after months of disappointment say that the Plant Site Board stnl has to prove it really can influence

HOROSCOPE "The std7.s incline
 bat do not compel"
SUNDAY, APRIL 6

Adverse aspects seem to domin- ate today. The tendency to look upon the dark side of things may rule both men and women, for the newspapers and radio may bring sad tidings of world conflict.
 Heart ana Home: Religious in- terest will be widely manifested and should be encouraged in the fam fly. The study of Bible prophecies will assume new interest and the churches will lead in scientific re- lief work for war sufferers. Organ izations for helping in nationwide defense work will multiply. Distin- guished clergymen from England will visit the United States and will give impetus to all forms of relief intended for refugees and war vic- tins.
 Business Affairs: Speed and ef- ficiency will mark manufacturing at this date, but danger of acci- dents is forecast. Loss of property is prognosticated through careless ness or sabotage. Labor may be restive under this planetary goy- ernment which presages conflicting aims among unions. Deceit and treachery may be attempted among men who promote speculation. The evening is unfortunate for naviga- tion on the high seas.
 National Issues: Changes among executives in the Federal govern ment are prognosticated. Washing ton will call for added clerical re- cruits. Patriotic men and women of all shades of political belief will unite in unselfish service for the nation. Training of the great civil ian army will proceed with amaz- ing speed, and American efficiency and resourcefulness will cause cer- tain Nazi plans to change.
 International Affairs Peace moves will be suggested again and will be supported by well-meaning American citHens who foresee grave dangers for the British. Defeatist ideas will be widely promulgated. Leaders in the United States who have had closeups of the war in Europe will prove themselves pow erful in their help for the foreign policies of the United States gov ernment. The seers forecast for 1941 decisive events, although the conflict may continue many months.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of gains in property. Travel is indicated for both men and women.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be serious and possessed of outstanding talents. Inventors and writers may be numerous among these natives of a fire sign.

There is a conflict of good and evil aspects in the horoscope for today. Adverse influences appear to dominate. Women are well di- rected in the early morning. Evil portents affect labor.

Musicianl and players of stage and screen will profit. Women of all ages will manifest emotion, for they vii be sensitive to world planetary in fluences. They should maintain positive and optimistic attitudes ol mind.
