he said, adding:
The chief Value Of religion for

Canadian ships the Alaska were wittdrawh and converted into auxiliary cruisers to protect the British Empires lifelines. All these things have hurt Alaska to a certain extent.
 On the other hand the has had highly beneficial effect Alaska economy in general The monthly payroll of the North has been augment ed nightly by the employment furnished thousands of men on the Alaska Army and Navy bases. Im- portanty this is employment which has lasted right through the winter, cushionng the off-season slump typical of Alaska's normal economy Most of this huge payroll has found its way into the cash regis ters of Alaska merchants, bringing period of un- paralleed prosperity to the North.
 Wartime demand has strengthened the market for Alaska's fisheries products Canned salmon and other seafoods bringing the highest price in years.
 Alaska is getting some very valuable road mile age out of the campaign to improve the defenses of the North. Work has begun a Palmer Richard son Highway road link which will cost well over a to Alaska in the future.
 When think of all the benefits we are being handed at the present time, should be willing to sacrifice not just little but great deal to the effort of our nation to win triumph for democracy and freedom.
 If that sacrifice entails giving up ships and fore going business usual in the North, shall strug gle along best on little as necessary,
 All ships to Alaska loaded to the gunwales with supplies for the bases being built in the North It would unlikely that Uncle Sam would be able to spare any of them for the work of shipping sup plies to Britain. But in Alaska realize that the U. S-toEngland shipping lane is the most vital artery anywhere at the present time. If Alaska is called upon to make sacrifices to keep the life blood of democracy throbbing along this artery, Alaska will sacrifice gladly to whatever extent is required.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not comape"
SATURDAY, MAY 3

This is a day when inspiring and stimulating planetary influenc- es are active. It is date when many plans may be realized. It is especially promising for those who sign important legal papers of any sort.
 Heart and Home: This should be happy day for all members of the family. Good news may be ex- pected from college students and from young men in training for national service. This month is to bring crises or decisive events to persons of all ages. Under con- trasts of joy and sorrow, meetings and partings, the most should be made of happy periods. Today is fortunate for home entertaining for seeing friends and for enjoy ing a real Maytime.
 Business Affairs: Production is to show speed in the great fac tories where war machines are in the making There is sign read as presaging many serious acci- dents in industry and in transpor- tation. This month will reveal sup pressed excitement among civilians who will begin to realize the pos abilities of American peril from Axis forces. Money will circulate freely and to forget the realities young and old will spend carelessly. Tourist agencies and theaters will profit
 National Issues: Treachery of a foreign power is forecast as Amer ican exports reach strange destina- tions and pledges of European gov- ernment representatives are broken. Subversive influences will be strong in Washington, despite secret serv- ice vigilance. Enemies will be nu- merous, with headquarters in le- gations and consulates. After pre- mature excitement regarding es- pionage there will be lack of watchfulness at a critical time. Again spies will seek Government positions.
 International Affairs: Final re- covery of France is prognosticated, but. only after long tribulations. This year is one of evil portents. In Vichy, politics will continue to destroy whatever power the gov- ernment of occupied France might attain during readjustment. The conjunction of Saturn and Mars bodes ill for the nation in which the seeds of revolution will ger minate slowly. Pluto in the rising sign of France is not encouraging Entire change of government is forecast.
 Persons whose birthdate it Is have the augury of year of suc- cess and happiness. Surprises will bring good luck.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be individual and uncon- ventional. They may have event. full lives of many changes.

proach of a British warship to be repaired in U. :. navy yard, no restriction was put on use of the news; merely an expressed hope that the news be withheld until the ship was reasonably near Am erican waters
 However, neither British nor American ship movements are the real issue behind the Navy's high handed methods of dealing with the press. Washington correspon- dents are giving all possible coop eration regarding ship movements Real issue is the Navy's attempt to control the traditional right of American newspapers to expose and criticize inefficiency.

ALASKA IS WILLING TO HELP

President Roosevelts call for diversion of two nal trade routes to expedite defense aid to Britain has in it an ominous ring for Alaska Any area wholly dependent shipping, as Alaska is, would be apprehensive at hearing the President say that the pooling of Americas merchant marine to haul war goods would work certain hardships certain sections of the nation"
 Taking any ship from the Alaska run, busy as it is at the present time, would indeed work a severe hardship on the Territory
 But the President couples his warning with an appeal to the people of the shipping areas ffected to bear these hardships during the emergency. This is an appeal to which we respond unhesitatingly Alaska has made very little, if any sacrifice to the defense effort to date. None of our young men have been conscrpted from their normal occupations to give year of their lives to training in the armed forces. few have volunteered, but they are very the nation. AlaSkas great gold mining industry has begun to feel the pinch of preparedness as work men become more difficult to obtain and the de- livery of heavy machinery is held up while the priorities system sends equipment into industries more directly related to the national defense.
 As far as shipping is concerned, We have already seen two Coast Guard cutters the Itasca and Sho- given to the English for convoy duty. Just last week we learned that the Office of Indian Affairs motorShip North Star has been sent into the At lantic, presumably to our new protectorate in Greenland. With the outbreak of war the larger

CONSCIENTIOUS PRESS
 COMMANDER

Recently ln charge of the NaVy'S press relations was Commander Ray Thurber, capable, conscientious and experienced. If the Navy's press policy were based upon Thur ber'S ideas it would be better off. But loyalty to his superiors some times carried the Commander far afield-even to the point of mak- ing such statements as: Now we could make it tough for you if we wanted to-"
 Not long ago, the Commander objected to story which revealed that Admiral Stark, Chief of Naval Operations, had baked at a State Department request to bring the chiefs of Latin American navies to this country and entertain them as guests of the U. s. Navy in or der to foster Hemisphere solidar- ity.
 General Marshall, Army Chief of Staff, had entertained all the chiefs of staff of Latin American armies, and had flown them all over the United States as a goodwill ges- ture. Admiral Stark, however. de- murred for nearly six months, de- spite State Department urging, and finally consented only to a very limited tour of the Eastern sea- board by the Latin American Ad- miralS,
 Disclosure of these facts in print created furore among cer- tam naval officers, who, however oid not deny their truth. And loyal Commander Thurber, in rebuking thls column, contended that it was unpatriotic to criticize Admiral Stark, who held the important post of Chief of Naval Operations.
 This is a time of emergency. T said Commander Thurber.
 And in this time of emergen- cy,' he was asked, would you deny the press the right to criticize the National Defense Commission fo, the tagging defense program? Anc would you stop criticism of tho Army for inefficiencies of canton. ment construction?"

flecting on it's own prestige and efficiency.
 For instance, when the late Sec retary of State Frank B. Kelloog sailed for Paris to sign his famous Outlawry of War Pact, the Unit ed States certainly faced no emer- gency. Yet when one of the Merry Go-Rounders, accompanying Kel- logg on his voyage from Paris to Ireland aboard the cruiser Raleigh, wrote a dispatch kidding the Navy band on losing the music score of the Irish National Anthem, the captain of the Raleigh censored the message. It reflected on the efficiency of the Navy.
 A few years later, in 1892, when, except for Manchuria, the world enjoyed comparative peace, the Navy sent vessel to survey pos abilities for a submarine base in the Aleutian Islands. The survey was made secretly, on the pretext of studying geological formations for the Coast and Geodetic Sur vey. When one of these writers dis covered the real purpose of the mission, he was requested by the Navy to suppress the news because it would reveal naval move to Japan.
 He complied with the request. However, the reasons for the sur vey must have been quite obvious to Japan; and shortly thereafter the President publicly asked Con- gress for funds to fortify not merely the Aleutian Islands but also Guam.
 In other words, the Admirals went far beyond the President of the United States in attempting to suppress neWs-and they always do.

Wings for the North
(New York Times)

(New York TimeS)
 Both development of civil flying and valuable system of military airfields in Alaska envisioned in plans of the Civil Aeronautics Administration
 Under the current program, Alaska's airport facilities and radio aids to flying will be than doubled by next winter. New airports at Nome, Cor dova Big Delta and Boundary, several of them lying in the public domain, will have runways mile long, capable of accommodating the largest military air planes. Near Ruby field is to be located in a valley so wide that approaches by blind flying can be made from any direction
 The bush country of Northern Canada and the hinterlands of South America have demonstrated the practical value of air transport in otherwise nacces- sble terrain. This story evidently to be repeated in Alaska. At the same time military and naval bases will provide bulwark in the North Pacific
