WARNS OF MENACE

He gave advance notice that
occupation Of Dakar, the Azores
or the Cape Verde Islands by
Axis forces would constitute .
direct danger to the safety and
freedom Of the hemisphere.

clared, twill decide for ourselves

tack"
To underscore the acute grav-
ity of the world situation as he
saw it, President Roosevelt issu-
ed his formal declaration that
an unlimited national emergen-
cy exists and requires the
strengthening of our defense to
the extreme limit of our nation
al power and authority"
"Your government" he told
the people of the United States,
has the right to expect of all
citizens that they take part in
the common work of our COM
mon defense - take loyal part
from this moment forward. 80
All will have opportunities, all
will have responsibilities to full
fill"
DISPUTES MUST END
Addressing himself particu-
larly to capital and labor, he
asserted that no disputes of any
sort must interfere with arms
production. The government
henceforth would exert all its
powers to end production stop
pages. Articles of defense
must have the undisputed right
of way in every industrial plant
in the country"
This was the fireside chat for
which the nation and most of the
world had awaited eagerly for
days. The radio carried it to
the four corners of the globe by
direct transmission, and by re-
lays in the languages Of many
peoples - Spanish, Portuguese,
French, Italian, German, Arab
ic, Dutch, Czech, Slovak, Greek,
Serb-Croat, Norwegian, Ruman-
ian and Bulgarian.
Even before the President fac
ed the cluster of microphones in
the east room at the White
House, the complete text of his
address was already being sent
to Berlin and to, Tokyo by Axis
powers neWSmen.
REACTION SLOW
Foreign reaction was slow,
particularly from official quar-
tiers. Sleepless British people
followed the broadcast with
close attention, however, and the
typical manufactured COM
ment was: Hes with Us all the
way It means we're going
to lick Hitler even sooner than
we expected" The British ra-
do interpreted the proclamation
Of unlimited q eMherttncy as
proof that the President il very
much alive to the present mill
tary position"
Prime Minister w. L. Mac

Press Secretary Early said q

said that it was calculated that

ada, South America and the
British Isles.
Rebroadcasts are continuing :,
translations into other languages

Early said the survey had given
the speech . 10 per cent rating,
q record high for any program
ever broadcast.
CALLS POUR IN
kilograms and telephone calls
pouring in on a swamped White
House staff also have exceeded
all previous volumes, the presi-
dental secretary asserted. 1t has
been impossible to tabulate
them.
Secretary of State Hull said
that as far as he had been able
to learn, the reaction generally
to the presidents speech had
been excellent.
This, he said, appeared to ap-
ply also to Latin American dip
lomats with whom he listened to
the speech at the White House.
In response to q question,
Early said Wendell L. Willkie

split up into ten night sessions of two hours dura-
ton each. Then there is an advanced course OF
five sessions two hours each, and refresher course
offering men and women who have had some pre-
vious first aid training chance to brush up on
their bandage routine. School children should be
interested in junior course consisting of IS hours
of instruction.
I'VE must plan though we had definite know
ledge that an attack by the enemy will come" Dr.
Smith emphasized.
Whether that attack comes or not no one will
find it a waste of their time to learn the funda-
mentals of first aid. Even in peacetime this vital
knowledge is often invaluable in the saving of life
or lessening of human suffering.

From Defense To War
Cincinnati Ennllire

Cincinnati Enquirer)
The stunning events of the last week make it
necessary to convert what has been termed a de-
Tense program into a program This transition
cannot be accomplished merely by expanding the
existing program, as the mammoth $150OOO 600 900
victory program apparently contemplates If the
American effort is to have the maximum efficiency,
a drastic change in the present program is essential
The so-caed defense program has been admin
istered directly by the President The officials APP
pointed by him to handle various phases of the
program never have been autonomous, so to speak
ALI final decisions had to be made by the President
This lack of a single, responsible head to whom Mr.
Roosevelt might delegate complete authority, I'M
doubtedly has hampered the operation of the
program. ~
Now that the United States is at war, it obvi-
ousy is impossible for the Chief Executive to dis
charge all his tremendous new responsibilities and
to the countrys effort also. The appoint
ment of a responsible program administrator
cannot be postponed longer without danger to the
public interest
This must be done not only to relieve the Chief
Executive of extra task which he cannot possibly
discharge along with his other duties but also to
consolidate the program. There too many con-
ficting and even competing bureaus and offices in
the complex defense establishment.
So far as the contemplated $1500O0, 900 vic
tory program" is concerned this project invited
criticism because it is grandose gesture rather
than a carefully particuarized program If it is
necessary to spend this fantastic to achieve
victory, then it must be done. But the necessity
has not been demonstrated, and the meaning Of
this gargantuan expenditure surely has not been
appreciated by those who drew it up. Moreover, the
victory program" would be superimposed upon the
present program and would to enrench all its
defects.
These defects include more than the lack of a

MEN WANTED

In one line Of national defense actvity-and
mighty important line, toe-Juneau women have far
outdistanced the men.
We refer to the field of first aid preparation.
We consider this work of first line Importance,
because believe in event of a bombing raid the
first aid workers will be much buster than will rifle
men.
Without paying too much attention to the move,
we have noted for eight months that
juneau women were attending first aid classes,
learning TO bandage apply tourniquets and other
wise for injured persons to prevent suffering,
or even loss of life, in that interval between the
injury and the time medical attention can be Sc
cured But yesterday, at the Rotary Club luncheon
here, Dr. Courtney Smith of the Territorial Depart
ment of Public Health summed up all these activ-
ties and pointed out that juneau generally, is pro-
crossing rapidly toward its emergency goal of a
well developed system of dressing stations and first
aid posts throughout the city.
The Juneau Medical Society has been at work
planning for medical treatment on an emergency
basis Dr. Smith reported Every doctor in the Gas
tineau Channel knows where he will be sta
toned and just what assistance he is to have for
his emergency work Locations for casualty sta
lions throughout the city have been chosen and will
be equipped with surgical instruments supplies and
other necessities
Ambulance services will be performed by the
Forest Service trucks manned by trained Forest
Service employees, DR.. Smith declared Plans have
already been made to handle this end of the work
Only weak link in the set-up, he explained is
the scarcity of men trained in first aid work.
Already, locations have been designated for 20
first aid posts in the city. 1t is hoped that these
posts may be tended by two men and one woman
at each location. But there just aren't enough
trained men to go around
For the past eight months, Red Cross first aid
classes have been training women in this phase of
defense work. Some 81 women have already been
graduated from first aid training courses. Classes

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not c0mpeW
THURSDAY. JANUARY |

Promise of much good with the
bad is seen in the stars on this
first day of the year. Kindly acts
and unfailing generosity to early
war victims will serve as barages
against many evil things.
HEART AND HOME: This is a
day in which to make the most of
many blessings The stars presage
separations which will be eased by
happy memories. There is a sign
indicating growth and development
in many families which will be
brought into realization of true life
values. Courage will be required in
coming months for this is to be n
year Of tremendous experiences for
Americans of every class. Women
are to prove their heroism in splen-
did service to the nation.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: January is
to be an important month in many
lines of trade. The first two weeks
will show a falling off in retail
transactions, but mass production
and distribution will be possible
Labor will be recognized as a
power which will function success
fully if not put under legislative
duress. Serious strikes will cause
resentment among average citizens
of the United States. Heads of bus
mess are reminded that the seers
all along have foretold a complete
change in world financial systems
after the war.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Today is q
time to remember that in unity
there is strength. The first of the
good resolutions should be de-
termination to avoid all prejudices
that prevent the fullest cooperation
in whatever affects the national
welfare The wise will see both
sides OF every issue and will advo-
cate justice for all. The stars pres
age serious differences of opinion
regarding war policies, but most of
these will be forgotten in the spring
when the most severe tests to pa
triotism are foreseen.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS s.:
Again astrologers prognosticate that
future world leadership belongs to
the Western Hemisphere. In 1912
the destiny of the United States to
carry this responsibility will be APP
parent. Full participation in the
World War II will take place prob
ably in April, but not later than
May Is, the seers foretell. The stars
presage victory for the only ma
ton in the world which never has
lost a war, but it may be bought at
a great price.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of a bust year.
Earning power may increase as ex-
penses rise month by MONTH.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be brilliant in mind and
exceedingly independent. Extremes
of mood may affect many. $50

foreign policy. Bridges contended
that with the country at war, the
CCC should be disbanded and the
members modified for industrial
jobs and special assignments, such
as guarding public buildings and
bridges.
They are excellently qualified
for this kind of duty" argued
Bridges. Also, this would mean a
reduction in non-refense spending,
about which there has been so
much talk but nothing done. / have
always considered the CCC one of
the best programs undertaken by
the New Deal, but with our en-
trance into the war it has outlived
its purpose"
Senator H. H. Schwartz, staunch
Wyoming New Dealer, vigorously
objected, contending that the CCC
provided excellent character
building training for unemployed
youth and should be continued.
Besides" he said. what you
propose would call for specialized
training of CCC men. This would
place an added burden on the
Army
"Bosh!" exploded Bridges. Those
husky boys already are trained for
the type of work l suggest. Many
of them have learned vocational
trades which equips them for de-
Tense industrial jobs, and the
others could be modified for guard
duty with very little training

was after this that he went to Ar
mold thinking the Air Corps chief
might be impressed by the drama
tic flight, if not by the blueprints.
But Arnold remained unim-
pressed. He merely said, That
doesn't prove damn thing. Give
Seversky a broomstick and he'll
fly anywhere"
So Seversky tried another stunt
He gave the plane to a girl, JAG
queline Cochran, who was not &C
quainted with that type of plane
Yet, she flew it from Los Angeles
to Cleveland, a distance of 1000
miles, winning the Bendix Trophy
But the War Department reac-
ton was: 'Seyersky is seeking
cheap publicity for his firm
What he wanted, however was to
prove that it was necessary TO
have pursuit planes with a suffici-
ent range to reach the outposts of
the United States-HaWaii, Wake,
Guam, the Philippines. This was
stated formally, with what now
proves to be prophetic foresight, in
a letter Seversky wrote to the War
Department on June rs, 1888, in
which he said:
AN important aspect of such adj
ditional range is the problem of
transports of pursuit aviation in
case of war. If our theories are
correct, and Air Power becomes
supreme, we cannot depend upon
naval protection for our war planes
being transported by boats. The
Navy will not be able to afford the
necessary protection for our trans
ports.

chuckling over clipping of lin
structions for air raid wardens"
that had gotten grotesquely gar
oled in the printing.
These little outbreaks of humor
throughout the day seem to whet
his appetite for the gruelling
work which he now is putting in
from almost dawn to midnight
To most of his intimates,
however, the Presidents trait
most often referred to is his
Unwaivering optimism. When
he took his brief message to
Congress calling for the decIar-
alton Of war on Japan, he was
surrounded by Army and Navy
and government officials who
wore stony, funereal stares. But
not the President, he already
was locking ahead.
A little more than "a hours

lilo to an estimated 100000 peo-

punches about the seriousness OF
