the state department itself is IN
dermanned. However, it needs no
such small army as will be avail
able.
Most Of our Latin American
consulates, though, are under
manned, too. They'll be glad Of
additional help. They require, in
deed, more of it than a few years
/ ago, due to Pan-American actiW-
ties, now accentuated by our ur-
gent wartime desire for still closer
trade relationships with our south
ern neighbors.
Our Europeanly-expelled consul
lar contingent will have big ad-
vantage over new men at the
game, in that they've had plenty
Of training in advance. To be sure,
not many Of them will be familiar
with Latin American local condi-
lions or with the Spanish and Por-
tuguese languages. The state de-
partment has. however, established
a school for these chaps, in connec-
ton with the University Of Chi
cago. Its course is Of only few
months duration, but it's tremen-
dously intensive. BY the time it's
through with a student, already
consularly well educated, he's quail
fled for almost any post.
I've a son-in-law Of my own,
state department assistant for the
past year, who's soon to start in on
the Chicago grind. He doesn't need
1t as much as the average, having
previously held down a vice con-
sular Job for several years in Ar
gentina. He figures, though, that
this Chicago postgraduate course
will make him a super-past-master
at the game.
Consuls Don't Trade
It's true that consuls and vice
consuls don't dabble in actual
trade.
Business has to be developed by
sure-enough businessmen, but our
business concerns are sending their
representatives to Latin America
increasingly, every day, to attend
to this part Of the campaign.
We and the Latins also are ex-
changing college students. Presi-

eminent officials likewise. Recent

The trouble with US, at both

 Others also charged that the real instigators of the committed were Matthew Woll, AFL Vice President, and Robert Watt, AFI international representative. chair man and executive secretary of the committee.

 About six months-by which time both the Pope and the Presi- dent of the United States will have made an intervention for peace and the action of the President will be very important"

(CleVelanQ Plam Dealer)
 We who privileged in this time of national emergency to remain regular jobs have no right nor inclination to underestimate the sacrifice being made by the young men who are giving up at least year of their normal pursuits to in their country's armed forces The life they now leading is not soft one, and for most of them the time away from home amounts to a financial loss.
 But it should not be assumed that these boys getting nothing in return for their sacrifice. Many would give a fortune for good, strong physique; and yet the appearance of the young soldiers who return their furoughs indicates that this is just what Uncle Sam is giving practically every one of his selectees and enlisted men.
 Although the going may be tough now, it is not unlikely that those who have been called tenn porariy to the colors will look back on this period of outdoor life and training healthy experience they would not trade for anything It probably is the making of many of them.
 And if it is any immediate consolation to the boys. let homebodes confess that it is with more than touch of envy that we notice how handsome every of them appears getting off the train and walking the streets in his uniform that makes him look like at least colonel.

The Lesson of Quantity
Cincinnati Enquirer)

(ClHClnIldu EIquueT)
 The myth of Naz invincibility is based on many things including the unquestioned genius of the Teu- ton for military organization. But the most impor- tant factor in Germanys success thus far is very simple. It is sheer mass Germany has more trained men with good equipment more airplanes, more tanks than any opponent-or combination of oppon- ents at given moment.
 Plane for plane, the French were better than the Germans; but they were outnumbered seven to in the air. The British planes and pilots immensely superior but Germany has had numbers on her side, until recent weeks.
 Germanys biggest setback, apart from the un- successful attempt to invade the British Isles last summer has come in Russia. The explanation lies in the simple fact that the Soviet Union had great numbers of tanks, the most important weapon of land warfare today, and the courage to use those tanks in
 This indicates the nature of the problem Britain and America face They must accumulate decisive superiority in the air, and also in the mechanized weapons of ground warfare and then use those weap ons with prodigal determination when the moment comes Because the equipment made in Britain and the United States is better, their advantage will be even more telling when it is based superior num- hers

HELP FOR ALASKA

Defense has had tremendous influence AL aska, more than anything that's happened since the gold rush. The effects of the many millions of dollars worth of projects now under construction in the Territory for the moment largely beneficial Our workers have money in their pockets; stores and service enterprises enjoy welcome prosperity; faster steamer and plane service has resulted from the defense activity.
 But the boom has had other effects not so happy Several of Alaska cities have found themselves unable to cope with of the problems brought about by the phenomenal growth of the past year. Utilities. schools, highways health facili- ties are taxed to the limit and beyond the limit Alaska communities adjacent to the new Army and Navy bases crying for help
 Help of just the kind most sorey needed appears to have arrived in the form of $l500O000O appro- pration under the Community Facilities act. This legislation, signed by the President and all ready to be put to work, will provide defense congested com munities with the means to alleviate some of their more pressing problems Cities in defense areas will be granted funds to provide adequate water sewer, power health, school and transportation facilities to meet needs aggravated by rocketing population gains.
 Alaska communities which urgently need help of this kind in varying degree include Kodiak Sitka Anchorage, Ketchikan and Fairbanks. Even Juneau might very properly ask for assistance to keep the Glacier Highway in usable condition during the period it will be receiving heavy pounding from equipment used in constructing the new airfield.
 The Territorys claims on the Community Faci- ties fund many, legitimate and pressing. Mo- where else we sure has national defense caused so many dislocations among people little able to take care of them with their resources. Alaska communities should lose time in making known their requirements under the new act.
 And-as is ever the case-a reasonable offer to meet the Government half way by helping ourselves, will bring us the greatest aid.
