British Close Strait
Connecting Red Sea
With Gulf Of Alden
Little Bob Ell Mdndeb
Waterway Dangerous to
Ships, London Warns

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, March l3.-The Adj
miralty announced today that the
small Strait of Bah el Mandeb, at
the southern end of the Red Sea,
was dangerous to navigation"
The Admiralty statement said:
The Admiralty give notice that
the small Strait of Bah Ell Mandeb
is dangerous to navigation and that
all vessels passing between the Red
Sea and the Gulf of Alden should
proceed by way of the large strait.
Vessels which disregard this warm
ing do so at their risk and peril"
Closure of the small strait leaves
the British only one channel to
watch to prevent any Italian ships
in the Red Sea from escaping into
the open ocean as the land pressure
in Eritrea increases, observers said.
The Admiralty declined to disclose
how it blocked the small channel
between Perrin Island and the Arab
ian coast, but probably used mines.
Bah FL Mandeb is divided by the
British island of Perrin. The small
strait, to the northeast. is about two
miles wide. The large strait ranges
from to Is miles in width. Navi-
gators commonly have used the
small strait, since it is a shorter and
more direct route.
The large strait is adjacent to
italian territory in East Africa and
to French Somaliland.
The island Of Dumeira, coded to
Italy, by the French in 1925, is is
miles northwest of Perrin and there
were unconfirmed reports as much
as two years ago that the Italians
were fortifying 1t.

1944-particularly ON the Republi-

politics going on right now than is
usual at this period between cleo
tiOnS.
Politics Not Quite "As Usual"
Our old two-party system is func-
tiOning much as usual-as it ought
to function-but just as our neu-
trality law puts certain sections of
the sea out of bounds, so the de-
Tense program and it's relationships
are practically out of bounds politi-
cally. Otherwise, the very circum-
stance that the parties can go
ahead in their familiar domestic
way is all to the good. 1t empha-
sizes the difference between our
liberty and the handouts that are
on anything of the sort in the ma
tons that are trying to boss the
world.
| Our Republican friends are not
| forgetting their creed. The other
day the G. o. P. National Chair
man swung from a fine patriotic
speech into a dissertation on the
power and strengthened prospects
of the minority party. He pro-
claimed the faithfulness of Repub-
licans to the National Defense pro-
gram and continued: Now as to
strictly party matters, there is no
reason for Republicans to feel dis
couraged," etc.
Excepting again." Chairman Joe
Martin continued, the ten South

cans carried 1,120 counties and the
Democrats 936 counties in the other
thirty-eight States
What he failed to mention was
I that eliminating the ten Southern
States - and throwing in the Dor
der states of Missouri, Kentucky
and Tennessee for good measure
we find that Franklin D. Roosevelt
would have won the election. If
Wendell Willkie had carried all of
Dixie and the border lands, Presi-
dent Roosevelt would still have
had 299 electoral votes - 33 more
than a majority of the electoral

was so clearly threatened. The. re-

imposed on ourselves when it was
thought possible to get peace by
that means, brought on what was
practically a partiZan struggle. But
when it became evident that the
old neutrality act simply played
into the hands of the gangster ma
tons, the isolation forces began to
disintegrate.
The lend-lease bill, though there
was plenty of vocal opposition,
showed a distinct advance toward
the sort of unity which Hitler had
stated could not obtain in a democ-
racy. There were still political
partizans who proceeded on the
theory that whatever a Democratic
President recommended must be
opposed - and a lot of time was
wasted in oratory along these
lines.
When the Country Woke Up
But nowthe country is thorough
ly aware of our danger Most of
the Republican leaders, including
their recent candidates for the

Halle Selasse has re-entered in triumph the capital from which he fled 5 years ago. He was the first of the peaceful rulers to b, forced out of power by the devel- oping might of aggression. It is fitting that he should be first also 10 regain his throne.
 There has been good deal that was pathetic and in some de- gree admirable in this bearded little Oriental whose will, while he ruled. was law to five millions of people spread over 350,00o square miles of territory. Admit tsdly he was doing the best he could to lead a backward popula- ton along the paths of progress when the Italians invaded his country and their airplanes made resistance futile. He himself, throughout his five years of eX- ile, nev5r ceased to appeal to European conscience fer the jus tice European nation he'd de- nied him. His appearance before the League of Nations to demand it's help was ons of the dramatic incidents in the last years of that body.
 The League could give him no answer, It's "sanctions' had fail ed and it had no other weapon. But now the pendulum has swung back and he is again en- throned, riding into a gayly be- decksd Addis Ababa to be receiv- ed by a British General who's atd has wrought this wonder.

Infantile Paralysis Aids Available At Juneau

Th2 Territorial Department of Health recently received by ex- press from the National Founda- tion for Infantile Paralysis, 108 splints and frames for use of in fantile paralysis patients. This was done at the request of the Division of Maternal and Child Health and Crippled Children's : Services of the Territorial De- partment of Health through the Alaska Chairman of the Presi- dents Birthday Ball Committee, . Governor Ernest Gruening.
 A d pot for these appliances will be established in the Office of the Territorial Department of Health in Juneau and the appli- anceS will be distributed through out the Territory on the requ st ef private physicians. Although only four cases of infantile par alysis have been reported and there appears t0 be little danger of the r cent outbreak of infan- tile paralysis reaching epidemic l proportions, the officials of the Department of Health are taking no chances and are therefore pre- pairing for any eventuality.
 It was pointed cut that al though there is no specific treat ment for infantile paralysis, much can be done for those at tackled by the disease, by placing and keeping them in a position where weakened muscles are 2ut at rest This is the objective 5la result of properly used splints and frames. It was also pointed cut that many children who show extensive paralysis in l the acute stage of tn. disease, if cared for by the proper applica- tion of splint and frames even tually recover completely after weeks or months.
 Letters are bling sent to physic ians in the Territory informing them of the establishment of the depot for splints and frames. A pamphlet giving description of the appliances and instructions for ordering is being enclosed.
 IL is to be noted that the splints and frames are loaned to the Territory by the National Founda ton for Infantile Paralysis with cut cost except for the transporta tion expenses. This s-rvice has been made possible by the nickels and dimes collected in the coin boxes and the purchase of tickets for the Presid nts Birthday Ball not only in Alaska, but in every state in the Union.
 l. is hoped that other commun- tics in the Territory may see fl o follow the example of the citi- zsns of Juneau, through who's contributions a respirator Gron lang) is made available to the community.
 These activities on the part of the Territorial Department of Health and the City of Juneau are examples of preparedness that merit the support of every citizen in the territory.
