 We have surrendered our aluminium pots and pans swept the counters of silk, turned to plastics adopted plywood in place of metal and wood where we could, expressed willingness to use silver instead of tin for soldering, and otherwise readust- ed our mode of living because of the shortage of essentials. If only change of raw materials were called for the problem of production would be easier than it is. Manufacturers know better. To substi- ute glass for metal in decorative lamps is not so easy. The plant that knows how to handle metal knows nothing of melting casting and working glass, nor does it know where to turn for the necessary new equipment in these days of priorities There is also the problem of raw materials particularly of chemicals without which synthetic rubber, plastics and artificial fibers that must take the place of silk cannot be made Before the downfall of France Parisian artist ampooned the German situation, which must be far worse than ours, in cartoon which depicted frantic Hitler hysterically screaming
 Where is the Ersatz for the Ersatz?" To this pass we also are beginning to be reduced
 Something more than expediency and artful dodgng is involved in these upheavals. Our chemi- cal industry nothing to boast of the last war now it is strong in its knowledge and skill. Of synthetic rubber and plastics knew very ttle now we lead the world in the production of both War is the great spur of technology. Out of the Crimean War came BeSSemer steel out of Ger manys need of motor fuels and synthetic ammonia came the processes with which the names of Bergus and Haber are associated. For that matter, the whole vast iron industry came out of the military needs of the 17th and 18th centuries The quest of substitutes has driven home the lesson that even country rich in natural resources as the United States can never hope to be self-suffcient We may be able to dispense with vegetable oils in some in- dustrial processes and find that silver is a sats- factory substitute for tn but perfect sef-suffciency will be unattanabe for decades, if it is attain able at all Science and technology draw on the world It is we'll that their international character should be recognized. ,#4ass

BACK TO NORMAL

Boy, what relief to be raned on!"
 Such was the expression of more than one Ju- neau resident yesterday morning. when the first rain after a long period of sunny skies bounced on downtown streets and splattered on dry house. tops.
 According to the Weather Bureau we can look for lot rain in the weeks to come with storms gathering out the Gulf of Alaska and rolling in to Juneau to dump inches of rainfall But certainly not surprised at these predictions. Rain is no new experience in Juneau
 In fact the Juneau folk who expressed joy in yesterdays first showers not kidding a bit. It's hard for fish to live out of water and it is almost as hard for people used to a great deal of rain to stay healthy and feel active during a long period of rainess days, when dust blows into their noses and eyes and the beats down grass and trees and dries all the moisture out of them.
 At the same time, regretted the record breaking August weather which gave us the most hours of sunshine and the least amount of rainfall of any August since weather records have been kept here. Everyone picnicked and went fishing and swan, grateful for the sunshine There were few grumbes to be listened to from people who actually caught colds from the dry weather, but most of knew well the good weather wouldn't last forever, and for days were surprised each morn ing when the skies were again clear and the sun again out.
 We were surprised because Juneau isn't in Southern California, and don't expect our weather to be ordered by the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. We even found ourselves explaining to tourists and visitors from the States that this weather is really unusual' just as the Southern Californian habitually uses the same phrase to ex- plain away stray rain shower. As matter of fact, we've even heard them talk about the weather being unusual" when floods in Los Angeles were washing houses down the streets
 Anyway with the exception of few sunny days scattered the next few months we will probably have little explaining to do until next summer We can settle down to enjoy Juneau weather which

UNFINISHED JOB

That reshuffling of defense agencies and personnel cleared up a lot of dragging underbrush and strengthened some glaring weak spots. The result is certain to more efficient and more coordinated ad- ministration.
 But the job is far from finished And privately the President knows it.
 Still untouched is the vital need for a single, forceful, directive head of the whole defense program to give it the highgeared drive and initiative it urgently needs.
 How soon the President will get around to naming leader of this caliber he alone knows. But he does know one is badly needed.
 Recently, talking to a close friend, the President complained about the failure of defense chiefs to take the initiative and to exercise the powers they have. He contended they have plenty of authority 10 act If only they would use it.
 Barney Baruch," he said, had
The Daily Alaska empire., 1941-09-05

made to get him to pose before he left the White House, but he said he was too busy. Congress was equally apathetic. It took three at tempts to get a bill through both chambers to defray the cost of the painting.
 In 1886 bill was introduced, pro- viding a joint authorization for pie lures of both President Roosevelt and Hoover It died in the Senate Library Committee, of which Demo- cratic Leader Alben Barkley is chair man. Again. in 1888, a separate bill for Hoover's portrait was intro duced. This also got nowhere.
 Finally last year the sum of $2,- 800 was appropriated for the job, which Johansen completed several weeks ago. The portrait is in Bark ley's office, awaiting approval of his committee before it is sent to the White House. Friends say the former President is extremely pleased with Johansen's work-possibly be- cause it shows him as he prefers to be, solemn and impressive.
 NOTE: Johansen's portrayal of the ex-President's face is as devoid ot expression as grapefruit.

only half their authority, but he went ahead and did things. He didn't run to Wilson every day to ask what to do. Barney took the lead himself. He ascertained what was needed and got it done. But unless tell my defense men what to do, it's not done.
 They claim it's because they have not the authority. That's bosh. They've got all the authority they need. What they lack is initiative. They are excellent men, sincere, able and patriotic, But they are executors and not leaders. Unless they are told specifically what to do, nothing happens"
 The friend agreed heartily with the President and then quietly re- marked, What about Bill Douglas?"
 The President made no direct re- ply to the delft question. But he waxed enthusiastic about the hard hitting young Supreme Court Jus tice, relating how, when newly ap- pointed chairman of the SEC during the 1887 stock market crash, Doug las had bearded Wall Street and forced thorough housekeeping of the New York Exchange.
 NOTE: Inner Administrationists who played big part in last weeks OMP shakeup. have long advocated assembling all defense agencies, plus Army and Navy purchasing author ities, within a new department, to be known as the Department of Supply and headed by new Cabinet member. Their choice for this job Douglas.

 NOTE: It should always be re- membered that Axis war moves are like a game of chess Part of Hit ler's strategy is to keep the United States enough worried about the At lantic to station several powerful chessmen (ships) in the Atlantic, thus giving Japan freer hand in the Pacific. However, we have kept such a large naval force in the Pa cific that Japan is worried. This was one topic reported to have been dis cussed by Hitler and Mussolini last week = how to scare the United States more in the Atlantic, get more U. s. ships shifted from the Pacific, so keep Japan unworried, make sure she remains in the Axis.

HOROSCOPE. "The stdrs inclime a~e but do not conpew A
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6

Conflicting planetary aspects rule today. The morning is not fortunate for merchants. Shipping is under threatening aspect Workers are well directed and should be fortunate as they close the week.
 HEART AND HOME: In the fall wardrobes of many women uni forms will have place. Before the end of this month the number of girls in various forms of defense service will be greatly increased. Heads of households will find that home routines are changed with sons and daughters engaged in public work. It will be remembered that astrologers predicted many months ago that uniforms wouh be prominent in fashionable at- tire. Numbers of women long re- tired from business or the profess sions will be recalled to shops and desks. There is a sign warning of deceit and inconsistency in love af- fairs while this configuration pre- vailS.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Risks of every sort should be avoided at this time. The element of surprise so conspicuous in war movements will affect business and commerce as the month advances and uncer- tainies in trade multiply. The general trend will be satisfactory, however, as Government expartA direct many lines of production. The urge to speculate or to take chances will be strong, but should be unheeded. The feeling that all which pertains to life at this time is a gamble should be overcome
 NAL ISSUES: While Washington guards secrets that concern international developments affecting the World War, trouble makers will find fault because cer- tain matters are hidden from the people of democracy. This and other criticisms are encouraging to fifth column agents and should be suppressed as inimical to the public welfare. Danger of internal trouble within the United States will increase within the next few months. @@
 INTERNATIONAL FEARS :: Increased aid to Britain from, her colonies and dominions will be most fortunate. Australia and Can ada will prove their ability to con- tribute amazingly to the needs of the Empire in it's time of supreme stress. In Northern Africa there may be unfavorable incidents. Un- successful efforts to capture the Eastern Mediterranean and Suez Canal may be made by Germany. There is sign read as indicating a possible brief possession of the Canal.
 Persons whose birthdate itA is have the augury of year of hard work attended by perplexities. Spending and social amusemehts should be curtailed.
 Children born on this day may be exceedingly talented, but i'm provident. They should be trained for constant self-discipline. i47.

GAIN FOR OUR YOUTH NEEDS
YOUR WISDOM
This Week IN Religion
and Thought
BY R0BT. L. MOODY


The hearts of many mothers are
aching in war-torn countries. Our
present world problems reveal the
honor and responsibilities of Mo-
therhood.
On Mothers boy" each year,
we show much honor to u moth
ers both living and dead. But we
may do well to create an aware
ness of the responsibility that ac-
companies this special honor. The
young women of today and tomor-
row need inspiration from the pow
erful influence of ideal mothers"
of today and yesterday.
We talk much about creating a
better society through an educat-
ional process. It seems to be GER
tain that this process must begin
with u present and potential mo-
theirs. The native equipment Of
each individual has a deterxx ming
influence upon his character. The
development of this influence be-
gins in the mother before concep-
ton. OF course, we admit that
the father is the other source for
equipment, but we may think of
his part next month.
We honor the good mothers Of
the past but we also plead with the
present and potential mothers to
realize their responsibility TO the
child and society. Genuine homer
can be appreciated best when it
is proceeded by wise and cody
training of children.
