Alaska's Good Fortune
(The Seattle Times)

Enduring good fortune has come to Alaska as a result of defense construction in the northern terri tory Large sums of money expended there by the Federal government have brought prosperity to AL aska but more important still permanent effects of the defense program that will be felt long after the present emergency is over.
 These are tdings brought to Seattle by visitors familiar with the whole story of Alaskas develop ment.
 factor which has contributed much to the growth of Alaska in recent years is the arplane Air travel has opened up Aaskas inaccessible areas as nothing else could have done. and incidentally, brought them closer to Seattle. Fairbanks, up under the Arctic Circle now is but nine and half hours away from us.
 One thing the defense program has done for the future of Alaska has been to provide the best air facilities airports, radio stations and weather re- porting stations that can now be designed. There is nothing temporary about these facties-they are permanent assets. They will give commercial avia- tion an immense further stimulus in the post emergency time to
 Alaska also is acquiring good new roads, such as the 135-mile Chuckaloon cutoff connecting the Anchorage areas with the Richardson Highway. City streets, that formerly muddy roads, are being paved. Good permanent office buildings are being built comfortable houses are going up.
 Before the defense program began, Alaskas new development already was under way, Gov. Ernest H. Gruening points out The 1940 census revealed a population increase of 22.3 percent, which was exceeded by only two states of the Union.
 The benefits which Alaska will receive from the defense activity extend in many directions One of these is toward Seattle Seattle citizens rejoice in Alaskas good fortune for the Territory's own sake But Seattle will always share in those benefits They will make Alaska a better customer.

Planning for Defense
(The New York Times)

(The New York Times)
 The industrial side of the defense program is gaining momentum. By January, according to MT. Knudsen, we shall reach the halfway mark in our armament schedule. Last month the country's air. craft industry established new record by produc- ing 1476 military airplanes. Soon guns tanks and other machines of modern warfare will be coming in increasing volume from factories In all Of this there is ground for satisfaction but not for complacency
 What is still clearly needed in Washington is a central board accountable only to the President with full authority and responsibility for planning and executing comprehensive program from the development of our air force down to civilian de- fense of our cities Such board was envsaged by the Industrial Mobilization Plan which Germany pgeonholed in Washington where it born after the last
 AS matters now stand it is catch -catch-can among the services with each branch emphasizing its own needs and trying to get the most while the getting is good Such situation leads to duplica- tion inefficiency and waste. The system in opera tion on priorties is example. Eight separate and unrelated governmental agencies at present exer cising some sort of control alocation of raw materials to industry with ninth, the Interstate Commerce Commission expected to enter the field soon in connection with preference in transportation
 The result is confusion in Government and in industry, because none of the Federal agencies knows what the other is doing and because the in- dustriast cannot possibly know what all of them are doing The muddle which conflicting authority has caused in priorities alone is strong argument for the establishment of central authority to plan and coordinate-to decide what first things come first and then see that they are produced

AN OBJECT LESSON

Most of the people who drive automobiles around Juneau are busy working during the day and do not have time to make applications for new drivers licenses in the middle of the afternoon.
 That much was proven this week when Room 100 at the Assembly building kept open until g pm as convenience to those who wished to apply for new licenses.
 On Tuesday morning, when the plan of keeping the license office open from am. to pm each day was put into effect only about l80 of the ap- proxmatey 1,50O auto drivers in Juneau vicinity had taken out their new operators permits. By clos ing time that night about 300 licenses had been issued
 As a convenience to those who work until 5 pm each day, the license office will continue to stay open until o'clock each week day night until the final day of applying for licenses, August l5
 / The example of the huge increase in license applications when the late hours at the office were inauglrated may serve well object lesson for Juneau merchants whose places of business close promptly at p.m
 Maybe the merchants losing some business they could cash in on from people who aren't able to do their shopping until after working hours.

WHY WE MUST HAVE ASSISTANCE

Most Alaskans will appreciate some remarks made recently by delegate in Congress. the Hon Anthony J. tTony) Dimond when he spoke before the House of Representatives and depored the strik ing from the proposed Territorial budget of $50000 for the construction of badly needed roads
 Dimond pointed out to the representatives that the federal government owns more than 98 percent of all public lands in Alaska. Then he declared:
 T have often said and I repeat that if the national government should see fit to give the government of Alaska all the public land we would not have to come to Congress asking for help except for such sums as would be spent in all of the states, just they are spent in Alaska, for the carriage of mails and for national defense and for simi- lar national purposes
 Of course, that will never be done. The public lands of Alaska are too valuable to the nation to ever take chance of giving that title to the government of the Territory
 Therefore, obliged to come here and ask for such things aid in the struction of roads,"
 Dimond also pointed out something else that old-timers in the Territory have long maintained He called the attention of the representatives the

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compe"
FRIDAY, AUGUST 8

Adverse planetary aspects rule today. There are evil portents for Labor and the public mind may be greatly disturbed by grave events.
 HEART AND HOME; Discipline of the mind is essential these days when suggestions of fear are myri- ad. In the home a positive faith in the ultimate victory of right should be maintained and all de- featist ideas should be contradict ed This may be a depressing rule of the stars for the aged who should be cheered by kindly sym pathy. This is not fortunate date for journeys and especially for those by airplane.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Summer heat will not affect trade and com merce. In both East and West there will be great mercantile activity and much profit. While shifting use of materials. owing to war needs, will be widespread. substi- tutes for fabrics and even for feathers will be successful from the point of view of producers and dis tributors. Some news regarding banking or finance may prove scn- sational, but the United States will be lucky in avoiding perils similar to those of the past.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Congress continues under direction of the stars which offers little promise of siircease of strain. While there will be unity of purpose regard ing war policies, many grave new problems are forecast. Warning again is given that the health of legislators will be impaired and that more than one career VIII close suddenly. There is portent of tragedy at the national capital where this month is to be marked by startling events.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s: Spain's part in the Axis campaign is especially menacing in view of Gibralter, although Franco will be unable to accomplish much because of terrible economic conditions and the fact that his people have had enough of war. The slogan declar- ing that the obliteration of Com munism motivates the Russian on- slaught will have little effect, As sassinations and civil strife are forecast for Spain where famine will cause spreading unrest. Through this month as in July peace rumors will be disseminated by Axis propaganda.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of un- expected experiences, and much ac- tivity in which delays in achieving chief ambitions merely prepare for real success.
 Children born on this day will be clever and fortunate. They should be talented and indepen- dent, ambitious and energetic.

THE RUSSIANS HAVE IT

This does not mean that these boys are unpatriotic. But it does mean that the U. s. Army so far has neglected the most important conclusion to be drawn from the lesson of France and the lesson of Russia.
 In France, battalions, companies, entire regiments surrendered almost en masse. The world was astound- ed. The French Army had been heralded as the best in the world Its officers had been trained for years. Its equipment, while not as good as the Nazis, was the next best in Europe.
 Yet the French Army collapsed in II short days.
 F'renchmen who went through that catastrophe surrender now tell us that more important than Hit ler's panzer divisions, more impor- tant than stuka -bombers, was French morale. French troops did not want to fight.
 The country was torn by dissen- sion. Men in the trenches had nc idea why they were fighting. | they knew anything, it was thar they were fighting for the Comitt des Forges (Steel Trusb or tn. Deux Cent Families (the POO fami. lies who ruled the Bank of France.

WE DON'T HAVE IT, YET

And to date, judging by our poll of selectees, plus the War Depart ment's own frank fears, the Ameri- can Army also lacks morale. They have no idea that the country is in danger They have little realiza- tion why they were drafted.
 We have spent year building up cantonments with most of the comforts of home. We have pro- vided better than average food. good clothing and fair equipment. But we have neglected morale the most important thing of all
 Nine months ago, this column published series on lack of mor- ale inside the draft army. Nine months ago, Mrs. Roosevelt ad- dressed an inquiry to Chief of Staff General Marshall. got the reply that the situation was OK. About the same time, Harry Har- rison, who ran the Smileage Book campaign for camp morale and entertainment during the last war, proposed new program, but was rebuffed.
 In other words, with the country facing an urgent crisis in both the Atlantic and the Pacific. the War Department has given the boys no conception of what is happening in the world, has made no attempt to show them why they are called upon to serve. It has completely fallen down on the one big weapon which makes a modern army fixht.

fact that the largest sums ssof money spent ebyh tn government in Alaska is for the 1ndians and Esknos who are cassed as Indians Then he added:
 Tn that respect Alaska is not in any dif- ferent category than any of the states which have Indian popuations. So the money spent for the support and medical relief and education of Indians in Alaska ought not be specifically charged against the Ter ritory, because the same expenditure would be made if those citizens of the United States should reside in one of the states rather than in Alaska"

NEW MARITIME COM.

Democratic congressman from Massachusetts are staging a tough fight to get a New Englander ap- pointed to the vacancy on the Maritime Commission created by the transfer of ex-Congressman Jack Dempsey from the Commits sion to be Under Secretary of In- terior.
 Although New England is one of the most important shipping sec- tions of the country, it has not had a representative on the Mari time Commission since the retire ment of ex-Congressman Carl Moran several years ago. Wyoming, which scarcely has a navigable stream. is represented on the Com mission, and until recently so also was New Mexico by MT. Dempsey: also Ohio. California and Pennsyl- vania, but not New England
 Admiral Land, who has done an excellent job as chairman oi the Maritime Commission but. who has penchant for naval officers. now is pushing New Yorker for the vacancy. He is John E.
