Anomalies of War
(NeW York Times)

tNew York Times)
 With alliances, semi-alliances, ideologies and royalties, old and new, cutting the paths of nations and individuals in ways unprecedented in history certain anomalies tax the understanding of many readers of the news A few examples will serve. Germany, ally of Italy, has normal rela- tions with Greece, with whom Italy is at The Germans with sizable dipomatc staff and few thousand business and tourists" in Greece able to gather information of importance to Italy whose interest in winning the larger war against Great Britain is identical with Germanys
 Japan, an ally of Germany and Italy, is at peace with Great Britain. Russia, -belligerent ally of Germany and Italy, is helping China which is at war with Japan The French Vichy Government has an uneasy peace with Britain and Is represented by Minister in the British Dominion of Canada but Britain is sponsor of the French de Gaulle forces who are in conflict with the Vicfy Government.
 It does not take a master mind to figure out that such situation cannot go indefinitely for be- heath 1t all lies the one salient easily understand able fact-the world is, indeed becoming unified Two forces are at work here: totalitarianism and democracy One or the other must rule. The ano- malies become understandable in the light of this dictum-Over simplifed to be sure but better yardstck in the light of experience since Nazism came to power than any other that presents itself totalitarian Powers do not see eye to eye on all things work hand-ing glove in perfectly arranged conspiracy they willy enough to go to the rescue of each other when it appears the collapse of one might mean the disappearance of them all.

Yes" replied the Senator from North Carolina.
DEFENSE GRAPES OF WRATH

California no longer has a copy right on the Grapes of Wrath" Its drama is being re-enacted the coun- try over as great foot-loose army of migrant workers moves on de- fense centers in quest of jobs.
 It is one of the most serious prob lems faced by Defense executives. Yet they have done relatively little about it. Over 100000 destitutes, mainly from rural sections, have hit the road in the last six months look ing for defense jobs. Seven cities alone - Charlestown, Ind; Corpus Christi and Orange, Tex; Radford, Va; Detroit; Boston, and the Nor folk-Newport News, Va. ,area-have attracted more than 250,000.
 Only a fraction find steady em- ployment. The rest eke out half starved, hand-to-mouth existence. depending largely on odd jobs and private charity, Many states have settlement laws" which bar mi grants from relief until they have lived certain length of time in the state.
 An example of what footloose job hunters are up against is the Lock heed aircraft plant at Burbank, Cal, where the average weekly number of job applicants is 2,050 of which L. 450 are turned down for lack of raining. Lockheed officials estimate 75 per cent of those rejected are from outside the state.
 The unemployment crisis is so acute in some Texas towns. where cantonment construction is under way, that migrants assemble each day in bull pens" (vacant lots) to be hired. A bull pen" in Brown wood, Texas, site of a National Guard camp, averages from 500 to 1000 jobless day.
 Living conditions of the tent-town Uayfarers are unbelievably bad and due to housing shortages, are not much better for those lucky enough to find work. At Mineral Wells, Tex where Camp Walters is located many workmen sleep in crowded dor nltories, equipped with one shower four water faucets and one toilet for 60 men. si.t5

 But when Senator George called the roll, Reynolds responded:

 "Yes = with reservations, replied Reynolds.

The increase last year alone was 39,452. Junior College enrolment is roughly fourth that of the standard colleges and universities. It is more than three times the total population of Alaska This is szable army of young people continuing their educatons in this comparatively new kind of inst- tuition.
 There are now 610 Junior Colleges in the country, an increase of 35 for the year and an increase of POS in the past dozen years California has the most 64, and Texas is next with 43. The largest States those with population widely dispersed are making the greatest use of Junior Colleges There nay be an example in this for Alaska Every Western State has adopted the Junior College plan. Such institutions are flourshing in Washington Oregon, Idaho, California, Arizona, Colorado Montana New Mexico and Utah.
 For the most part the Junior College is a small institution with modest physical plant Average enrolment the nation is only 397 which is considerably less than half that the Juneau Public Schools
 The Junior College plan is which will some day reach Alaska, if not this year then at time in the not distant future

TAXES ON MINES

When additional taxes (call them defense taxes if that makes you feel any bttter imposed in the United States the Government would do we'll to study the example of Canada with respect to the tax on mining.
 In order that mining development work, inn portant to national sefsufciency in time shall not cease the Canadian government adopts special tax attitude toward mines. Under the income war tax act al mines coming into production or having into production between October 1885 and July 1942 given three and one-half years completely free of income stion.
 After the date on which mine starts shipment of when milling operations actually start with a commercial milling unit, the Dominion allows taX-free six months period for tuning up, adjust ments and absorption. At the end of this six months a mine is deemed to have come into production of in reasonable commercial quantities After that the company is given additional 36 months of tax exemption
 This provision allows mining ventures to get a healthy start n life before they begin contribute toward the national treasury. It encourages pros pecting and development In the long run it prob ally brings more tax money to the Dominion than if mines were to be taxed from the moment they "ame into production for it gives the man with capital and the man With property the incentive to create an enterprise which will contribute toward national prosperity
 The Canadian plan is worthy of serious study on this side of the boundary.

NO BOILED BOSOMS

Nearest approach to a campaign uniting the American people during the emergency has been started by Orville s. McPherson, publisher of the Kansas City Journal, who con- ferred with Roosevelt last week.
 McPherson's organization, United Americans" got off to a purely inn promptu start when he published an editorial on war aims and united nation. There followed such a deluge of mail from farmers, auto mechan- icS, ten-cent store workers that the movement has now spread to other cities.
 We believe that democracy is not dead or dying" says McPherson, that it can be effective in an em- ergency and is effective today. That is why we would rather have Mrs. Zilch from Pittsburgh and MT. O'Grady from Boston with us than a select membership of boiled bosoms."

Air Route to Alaska
Seattle TirneS)

It seems this column today pretty much to war and preparations for Announcement is made in Canada that air fields being constructed in the Dominion to facilitate the movement of Am ercan airplanes from this country to Alaska. It is understood seven bases are to be constructed and equipped to handle the largest machines. These provide an air road from Edmonton to Whitehorse in the Yukon They will be complete by the coming summer. Thus route will be opened for the Unit ed States to the northern territory over course equipped for travel both by military and by com nercial planes. Incidentally, this was of the first recommendations of the Canada United States Defense Board Dominion official is quoted as declaring when this route is finished it will be possible for planes to run across Western Canada in unlimited numbers" Seattle is keenly inter ested in another air road" from the United States to Alaska and indications its plan will receive the thoughtful consideration of this country and of Canada. No one way to the Northland will meet all military needs Furthermore after the war crisis has passed these air fields and their connections will remain to speed the journeyings of peace.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not conapeW
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25

This is a lucky day over which benefic aspects rule. It is most promising for big achievements in government and business All con- structive work is under stimulat- ing influences.
 Heart and Home: Women should pursue routine duties under this configuration, which is fortunate for all associations with persons in any position of authority En- ployees should gain under this planetary rule Whatever is artifi- cial or superfluous should be dis carded by women. They should see the handwriting on the wall which warns of sweeping social changes and corresponding tests to charac ter. The wise will prepare for simpler modes of living and less costly methods of entertainment.
 Business Affairs: With prosperity extending to the great and small in trade and commerce, there should be careful preparation for an in- evitable ebbtide of good fortune, the seers declare. However, it is wise for Americans to enjoy to the utmost all their privileges and pleasures while they possess them and before they feel the effects of yUhi1n t11n eff fyir surance that the United States will be the outstanding power after peace is established, there will be heavy cost for tk.e people of the great democracy.
 National Issues Various phases of class consciousness will develop in the course of national readjust- ments in which workers gain power. The stars presage something like socialism in government policies here, as in England. Liberty and equality are to be something more than words prominent in the Con stitution. While conscription of Wtdltll VIII ilOt Dt IlcQ, cACcpU by means of taxes, there is to be a financial leveling which insures broader distribution of money and property, the seers prognosticate.
 International Affairs: Secret di- plomacy, treacherous as well as exceedingly clever, will puzzle the people of the world who await an- xiously the machinations of dicta- tors and their generals. Warning is given that there will be an agree ment that promises much for a British colony and is easily broken in an attempt to involve the Unit ed States in active war
 Persons whose birthdate 1t is have the augury of year of pro- gress, especially for surgeons and engineers, who will perform not able professional service.
 Children born on this day may be extraordinarily clever or even marked by genius. They are likely to be born leaders who reach fame.

JUNIOR COLLEGES

Whatever this or any other session of the Legis- ature may do about the proposal to establish Junior Colleges in Alaska there is denying the fact that the Junior College idea is one which is growing phenomenally throughout the nation.
 Junior College enrolment in the United States increased by 20 percent last year. It has doubled in the last six years and redoubed in the last 12. This form of education is the fastest growing in the nation
 The l94l directory Of the American Association of Junior Colleges shows 236l62 students enrolled compared with 107,8O7 in 1885 and 54438 in 1929

 Insiders give two reasons for this: l. The large number of British
