AS a result he has made himself
one of the most useful men in
the entire United States.

CHE anything which went wrong.
capable of making suggestions to
the President himself
ELDER STATESMAN HULL
Chairman of such a board might
be Cordell Hull. Mr.. Hull will. go
down as one Of our great Secre-
taries of State. His job on reducing
tariffs and pioneering for trade
treaties alone will ensure him of a
place in history.
In recent months, however, Mr.
Hull has lacked some of his old
fire and energy. Close friends say
that the war has depressed him,
and not for months have they seen
him smile.
Perhaps it was this nervousness
and fatigue which caused him to
make the unfortunate statement
about the "so-called" Free French,
a statement for which he subse-
quently apologized and which was
serious rebuff to the independent
governments Of France, Greece,
Jugoslavia and all the others which
we are encouraging to resist Hit
Ter.
Perhaps fatigue also was behind
Mr.. Hull's veto of Colonel Dono-
vans plan to send a second Colonel
Lawrence to make friends with the
Arab chieftainS in French North
Africa, especially around Dakar.
Donovan had commissioned Colonel
Charles Sweeney, familiar with the
Arab tribes, to go to Dakar, and
do what Colonel T. E. Lawrence did
when he turned the tide against
Turkey in the last war.
But Secretary Hull flately refused
to give passport to Colonel Sween-
ey. He said that his mission, even
though secret and not officially
connected with the United States.

that the men in our armed forces, men like those
with Gen Douglas Macarthur in the Philippines,
would believe are. Over there, perhaps, there
are better for pessimsm.
The causes for the loud cries OF being
heard these days in Juneaus hotels, restaurants,
offices and Homes plain. Japan's lightning ad-
vance has not been stopped Whatever actions our
Pacific fleet is taking yelled behind the neces-
sary barrier of censorship. The British have fallen
back repeatedly in the Far East and English troops
in Libya are being rolled back as rapidly as they
moved forward
The Russians are beginning to complain now
that British and American deliveries Of and
material are falling short of promises. There are
ugly rumors not single one of them we'll founded,
of a Soviet disposition to quit when Russian soil is
recovered.
The list could be extended much further But
the point is the same Events have been against u.s.
But look-there have been no developments of
real Importance to justify any pessimism. 1t was
recognized last December that the would pro-
coed unfavorably for several months before our
turn at victory came. Isn't this precisely what is
happening?
The main factors in favor are unchanged.
Provided only that this war continues long enough
for American production to reach its goal the pre-
ponderance of powers on the side of the United
Nations will be decisive. There is absolutely no
development in any theater of war which hints
at an early Axis triumph Our ultimate victory is
therefore assured.
Thus, the only legitimate reason for pessimism
is the fact that recent reports confirm what we have
already known but have failed to appreciate fully
that we have long and grueling fight ahead of
us. This is reason for encouragement
This blunt reality ought to make us work all
the harder sacrifice more willingly, and unite more
fuy-for victory.
In the meantime, let's be thankful in Juneau
that still have home to go to after each days
work, plenty of food to eat and lot more things
we could mention that you won't find now in Ger
many, Japan Itay-or on Batan Peninsula.

SO SORRY

The Japs the who usually so
sorry, please Back in 1923, big disaster hit
Japan. Humanitarans in the United States told
everyone that ought to be so sorry" for the
Japs. SO sent them lot OF clothes, food, med-
cine and first aid supplies Now should be 80
sorry" that we sent them
In case you're wondering, 1923 was the year of
the big earthquake in Japan The Japs were down
on their Nipponese begging for relief The United
States gave it to thenl-sl2, 100000 worth
The other day, the War Department announced
the following facts related to Washington by Gen.
Douglas Macarthur. You all know where he is.
Reported Gen. Macarthur in landing more
troops in Subic Bay, the Japs have employed
specially built barges to reinforce the 100000 troops
already confronting the gallant American and Fill
pno forces Several of these barges have been cap
tured and in them, Gen. Macarthur states, were
found pieces of life-saving equipment which formed
part OF the relief supplies sent to Japan after the
1928 earthquake .-..
The equipment marked United States Army
Transport Merritt which was of the ships
rushed to aid the Japanese. The little yellow men
apparently had been saving it all this time for use
in the assault upon their former benefactor
But to make matters worse, it was brought to
light that the shipping of the supplies the Mer-
rift and the transport Meggs under the direction
OF Brig. Gen. Douglas Macarthur then commander
of the Philippine Scouts Brigade.

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
bat do not compel"
wEDNEsDAY. FEBRUARY Is

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY Is
Mingled good and evil are in
dicated in the horoscope for today
There is an aspect which promises
mental keenness under this con-
figuration.
HEART AND HOME; Women
should pursue routine tasks today
which may bring them anxieties
through the medium of the radio.
The stars encourage freedom OF
thought and independence of ac-
ton. 1t is a date from which to
extend home interests so that the
most efficient public service can
be assured. This is an suspicious
date for starting any new house
hold program. Drastic economies
should be established, especially in
the kitchen where girls should
demonstrate their culinary know
ledge or should acquire it if they
are not already expert.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: This is
the year of transition and as old
customs are abandoned for emer-
gency conditions careful systems OF
procedure should be established.
The end of American generosity and
open handednesS must be recog-
nized, for thrift henceforth must
rule concerns great and small. The
seers predict that large salaries will
shrink and even though the cost
of living rises moderate compen-
sation for hard work will prevail
among the white-collar toilers. 1t
is important to be prepared for
whatever develops in the course OF
the greatest war in all history.
NATIONAL ISSUES: There is
a sign read as presaging labor dis
content which may be settled adj
vantageously by employers or gov
eminent representatives. AS the
pinch of war conditions reaches
professional men and women i'm
patience at exorbitant demands of
workers will spread and in-feeling
will supplant the sympathy which
has marked previous attitudes to-
ward union ambitions. The stars
are read as forewarning of tagging
production and war needs that can
not be met.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:
As the coordination of all the forces
of the Allies becomes effective Jap
an and Germany will resort to des-
perate measures. the seers proph-
Iesy, and again they warn of re-
course to gas and to- new forms of
barbaric warfare. Danger from in
side foes will be even more formid-
able than it has been. Subversive
groups that escape suspicion will
become active. A major disaster
is prognosticated for a center of
industry engaged in government
contracts.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is have
the aug,iry of year of fairly good
fortune but extravaganza should be
avoided, also every form of specu-
Iiation.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be fortunate in their
careers which will be connected
with the arts if success is won.
They should be popular with young
and old.
