THEY TALK OF PEACE

Yesterdays news columns full of hints Of a world peace which it was inferred can be ar ranged if the United States will but join with Great Britain and France in talking terms.
 The peace talk yesterday came from two quar- ters. John Cudahy, former U. s. Ambassador to Belgium told members of the Senate Foreign Rela- tions Committee that if this nation would join with Great Britain and France the peace terms could be arranged with Hitler From the other of the globe the Japanese press hinted that the Land of the Cherry Blossom is the logical voice to be raised pacier to halt the present world conflict.
 Although MT, Cudahy expressed his belief that Awful Adolf has no aspirations for conquest in the western hemisphere, we don't believe this talk of peace will go far At least we hope that none of the Democratic powers will find any peace terms agreeable which leave the Nazi party dominant in Germany.
 Any peace of that nature could be only an armed peace ready to flame into another at moments notice Time after time, Hitler and his followers have proved that they not to be trust sd tn the agreements they make. Their records as breakers stands as tops for all time.
 Certainly we in Alaska must feel secure
 with military bases established to defend the Territory against invasion than could ever feel ivira in the period of uneasy peace which would

 ir power in a good share of Europe and
 ies the Japanese growing in the Pacific.
 We are no war mongers. We would like to see he boys who donned khaki brtches and left us re- turning to their jobs and families. But we can see no peace which leaves the old world in its present position.
 When peace does come, We want it to be last ing peace, and satisfied that it can be if the right international adjustments made a result of the present

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25

Conflicting planetary influences are active today. The morning is under a benefic aspect, but later there is configuration of evil portent affecting labor. Jr
 HEART AND HOME: Loyalty in words as well as deeds should be impressed upon every member of the family. College students may incline toward radical views as they find many of their interests affected by war conditions. Subtle propaganda will be widely dissem- mated to affect the point of view of young and old Criticism of the Government in Washington should be suppressed wisely for. there necessarily will be many mistakes made. While the globe is encirclcd by hideous conflict facts will be difficult to assemble, but there can be no question regarding the .neces- sity of fighting to prevent h e cause of democracy from defeat.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: The spec ter of imitation will disturb states men in Washington as leading fin anciers discuss the financial fu- ture of the United States. The stars are read as presaging such wise direction of banking interests that this misfortune will be avoided. Co., operation between big business and the Federal Government is fore cast as so effective that danger will be minimized. agr
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Return of thousands of young men fromrmili- tary training camps to homeB and remunerative employment twill De awaited impatiently and will be the subject of endless speculation re- garding the future. There is a sign which is read as presaging modi- fication of present Government plans. Service in foreign lands is prognosticated for numbers of sol- diers as well as sailors and ma rines. Readjustments will mark the winter months. The spring of 1942 is to bring diverse activities.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR Tn Germany's national horoscope Jupiter, ruler of the midi heaven, is in Cancer, the sign of the peo- pie. The conjunction of fJupiter and Pluto with other aspects is read as presaging more evidences of the military power of the Nazis. There are conflicting signs, how ever, which are read as indicating that the German people will be- come weary of sacrifice. Hitler comes under unfavorable planetary rule which will sap his confidence and affect his health. He will real ize that he has underestimated the potentialities of the joint resis- tance of Britain, the United States land Russia.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of tad- vancement and lasting success. Love affairs will occupy attention even though for many young men Army or Navy service will affect plans for marriage.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will have eventful careers. They should be fortunate in the possession of courage and extra ordinary intelligence. l

 Weather Bad
 A rain storm and poor visibility has been prevailing for most of the time the plane has been miss ing Wernecke may have gone down but remained in a sheltered cove.
 Mrs. Wernecke, who accompanied her husband to Hyder, expected the plane would return from Alert Bay by Wednesday at the latest. Yesterday, when the plane failed to return to Hyder, she gave the alarm.
 Second Plane Missing
 Besides the Canadian Air Force planes making search, plane piloted by Bud Bedding, of Ket- chikan, formerly of Juneau, is also in the search, it is said. Bedding is bringing a Waco plane north from Seattle for Pilot Tony Schwamm of Petersburg. He has not reported however.
 The red Belanca plane, owned by Wernecke, may have gone down for shelter in some cove and there is a possibility Bedding may be company in the same plane, both holed up-awaiting weather clear ance. The Waco plane has not been reported since the steamer Ton gass reported seeing it Tuesday near Bella Bella.
 Bradley Asks Aid
 An Associated Press dispatch from San Francisco says P. R. Bradley, President of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company, has asked that all possible search be made for the missing WernecIe- Gropstis plane. The dispatch states that Wernecke was to meet J. A. Williams, General Superintendent of the Alaska Juneau, in Van couver, on Thursday of this week. Williams left Juneau last Sunday on the voyage south of the Prin- cess Louise.

has been made, the petition states:
 Due to lack of seasonal employ ment, an especially poor fishing season in 1940, and little or no money for relief purposes due to the costs of the defense program, this district is particularly badly hit economically. Many of our residents who rely on fishing, trapping and other outside endeavor for a liveli- hood are unable to meet the needs of themselves and families. The burden naturally falls on the mer- chants and business houses of the community. There is limited CCC activity, but due to age limits, quo- ta limits and other qualifications, the CCC is available to only hand full of our younger residents"
 The petition estimates the take of beaver would be from 300 to 400 in the 20-day season which would mean at prevailing prices be- tween $6,0OO and $7,000 to be spread among resident Alaskans.
 Weis, who was in Juneau the fore part of the week and in conference with Dufresne, said the latter was prepared to try for early action from Washington and that the proposal Lw0uld have his recommendation
