Salvation Army Commis- sioner Discusses Inter-
 national Situation

If the Japanese decide to make open warfare against the United States and Great Britain. they are either mighty sure of their mili- tary power or ready to commit na- tional Hari-Kari, Commissioner Benjamin Orames, of the Salvation Army divisional headquarters in Toronto, told 50 Juneau business men today at a joint Rotary Club and Chamber of Commerce lunch con in the Baranof Hotel.
 Commissioner Orames, who is in charge of Salvation Army activl- ties in Canada, Alaska and the 3ermudas, arrived here Wednesday for the 37th annual Salvation Army congress, now in session. With him at the luncheon meeting today were Col. Frank Ham, field secre- sary, also from the Toronto head quarters; Brigadier John Giiling- nam, of Wrangell, in charge of the Alaska division; and Capt. Stanley Jackson, Juneau Salvation Army representative.
 With only 17l2 percent of the Japanese empire which can be properly cultivated, the Nippons were forced to develop industries, Commissioner Orames pointed out, with the result that they now send their ships to the far corners of the world and are dependent on all other nations to perpetuate their national economy. A war, he declared, now forces them to face the possibility of having all their raw materials cut off, he declared.
 Interdependence
 Orames forcefully brought out the extent to which modern civili- zation has made all peoples depen- dent on others to maintain our modern standard of living.
 T believe in two or three years, America could defy the whole world Orames stated. But I also believe that if Britain falls and the Japanese join forces with Ger many in an Axis-dominated world, the combination could strangle our commerce"
 Americans are nurtured on free dom from the time they receive their first mothers milk" Orames said. "As products of this freedom, Americans can be trusted to do the right thing for the United States and the world We must be willing to think and act in such a way that when this crisis passes, the Stars and Stripes will still float at the masthead and not the flag with the crooked cross. We can't pass a life of bondage on to our children and our children's children"
 Service Work
 Oranes said the Salvation Army now has 107 large service centers in operation in conjunction with army camps throughout Canada, where soldiers can see motion pie i ture shows and purchase supplies at carteens. He pointed out that all recreational centers are operat- ed under direct supervision of the Canadian government, with can teen receipts, purchases and other operations checked weekly by gov elnment officials.
 The present Salvation Army Con- gress here will continue through out the weekend, with a city-wide meeting at the Northern Light Presbyterian Church at 2 pm. Sunday to be addressed by Com missioner Orames.

MICHAEL HAAS
 RETURNS FROM LABOR MEETING
Nation $ Capital ViiallY h. ierested in Defense
 Gf Alaska

Intense interest in Alaska and its attitude toward possibilities of a conflict in the Pacific kept Terri torial Labor Commissioner Michael T. Haas busy answering questions when he attended the Eighth An nual Conference on Labor Legisla- tion in Washington, he reported today:
 Haas, who attended the confer ence at the invitation of the De- partment of Labor, returned to Juneau yesterday on a Pan Amerl- can Lodestar. Expenses of the trip were defrayed by the federal gov ernment. Labor commissioners of fl states gathered with union rep resentatives, government labor of- ficials and other interested group representatives for the two-day conference, which was presided over by Madame Frances Perkins, Ser retary of Labor.
 Addresses Conference
 T was asked to address the con- ference at the first morning ses- sion," Haas said. Not only was the Alaskan labor problem of interest to the commissioners but they were vitally interested in how Alaskan defense projects are moving along and what our attitude toward the possibility of invasion is. l would have had much more time for other if I had not been required tc discu7s the Alaskan defense sit 0aticn so thoroughly with every one I met"
 Despite the increasing tension while Haas was in the nations capital, due to the Japanese crisis, debate over the Neutrality Act and the captive mines strike, the AL askan lobor commissioner had ap- pcintments with many Congress- ional leaders and labor officials. Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond and Washington State Representa- tive Warren G. Magnuson were among these he conferred with.
 Talks With Perkins
 T talked at some length with Madame Perkins and was surprised at the wide grasp of Alaskan labor problems which she holds Haas said. She is well informed on the Alaskan situation, as are her assistants. Madame Perkins made a very favorable impression on the conference delegates by the able manner in which she presided as chairman. She kept the discus sions moving, saw to it that indi- 7idual matters were fully discussed and kept side-issues from entering and hampering the main thoughts
 After working throughout the conference as a member cf the committee on safety, health and welfare, Haas was appointed to the general committee of the confer ence, headed by F s. Shurford, North Carolina commissioner. Others on the committee are Mcr- gan Mooney, Connecticut; Luther M. Slinkard, Missouri, and R. G. 5oderstrom, Illinois.
