of the importance of other ores mined, or which for other reasons are essential to the war industry.
 The order will probably affect virtually all gold mines in the Territory with the exception of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Com pany.

 Wade said today Immediately following the issuance of the order by the WIPE, the War Manpower Commissioner, Paul V. McNutt. ls- sued a directive that all employees of the gold mining industry must, before seeking employment in the critical area, obtain a certificate of separation from the United States Employment offices"
 All former employees in the gold mining industry will be re- ferred to the states to employment that is available in the non-ferrous mining industry, he said.

 It is expected that gold miners in the States will be diverted to relieve the acute shortage of men in other mining industries.
 In Alaska, the many defense pro- iects have advised the employment service offices of their labor needs, and miners will be referred to lbs

Oil of North Will Be Piped Soon To (onned
 With Alaska Highway

Writing for The Philadelphia Record, James Montagnes, Science Service Correspondent, says that aviation gasoline and diesel oil soon will be flowing through a new pipeline toward the Alaska high way from oil wells and the worlds most northerly refinery at Fort Norman on the Mackenzie River in Canada, 125 miles south of the Arctic Circle.
 Vast, undeveloped tar sands in Northern Alberta are being mined now for oil, gasoline, asphalt and coke and pending operations may help greatly in the defense of AL aSka.
 Wells Not New
 The wells at Fort Norman are not new. They have been in eX- istence since 1921. They were little used however, and were capped until 12 years ago.
 Shortly after the war began new refinery was built at Fort Norman for the production of avia- ton gasoline and engine diesel oil. That plant, according to Canadian Munitions and Supply Minister c. D. Howe, has been expanded, and will likely be in use for longer period than just during the sum- mer, as it has been since install lation.
 Howe further stated that an in- tensive study of the tar sands is under way at present. Speaking in Parliament, he stated:
 Increase Capacity
 Arrangements have been made further to develop the wells on the lower Mackenzie River at Fort Norman. Additional wells are being drilled, the refinery capacity is being increased, and short pipe line is being installed to bring the oil across to the location of the Alaska highway"
 The bituminous sands along the Athabasca River also are being utilized. The sands produce high quality of asphalt and it is ex- pected that the material will be used as surfacing on the Alaska highway.

 Employment Changes

Gold miners who are going to be seeking employment because of the order of the War Production Board yesterday suspending the operation of mines, should do so through the United States Employ ment Service offices, according to detailed information received here by Hugh J. Wade, as representa- tive of the War Manpower Com mission for the Territory.
 Wade said today that he had re- ceived complete information re- garding the order, which affects all gold mines except those that are permitted to operate because

 Although the order of the Man. power Commission does not specifi- cally prohibit employers in the Ter ritory of Alaska from employing former workers in the gold min ing industry" Wade said, they are directed by the Commission not to do so."

CAN NOT LIVE ON PAST
Editor Askov American:

Editor Askov American:
The opponents of planned economy
and the New Deal have constantly
maintained that production and pro-
gress would be retarded by regula-
tions and governmental interference
with the economic processes which
were supposed to be controlled by
the law of supply and demand. Moth
ing of the sort has happened. The
war mobilization of industry strongly
controlled and motivated by the Fed
eral government, surpasses anything
that the world has ever seen.
Anyone looking back during the
past IL years cannot help but to ar
rive at the conclusion that the sup
posedly "best minds" were not best
minds at all, but a bunch of con-
ceited jackasses. Where are all these
nitwits who were telling us a few
years ago that our economic pros
perity depended on the gold standard,
rugged individualism, orthodox meth
DDS and other fool things? They have
been relegated to the ancient past,
to remain among the fossils of the
past. These people after all went
contrary to common sense, a sure
route to failure.
A nation will progress as long as it
keeps alive. When a nation wants
to live on past glories and its fat it
is bound to deteriorate. The world
had not learned this lesson after the
last war. People and nations longed
to 60 back to the past-to normalcy-
to the good old days. But conditions
had changed and the various nations
could not 60 back to the past, they
had literally burned their bridges
behind them. Events and the future
in the long run will be controlled by
economic and social forces, which
have been set in motion by powerful
influences, far too great to be
thwarted by any man or group Of
men. The real leaders of the times
correctly interpret and read the trend
of the times; the false leaders try
desperately to 60 back, only to be
overwhelmed by forces which they
fail to understand.

NO PROFTTEERING
Editor ASkov American:

There seems to have been some
misapprehension in Minneapolis as
well as here as to profits made by
dealers in the salvage campaign-a
misapprehension which has ten
dency to check the gathering of much
needed salvage for war use. This
is the way the Minneapolis Star
Journal answers the charge:
"Is there unfair profteering in the
salvage campaign?
"No.
"Scrap dealers couldn't profiteer
if they wanted to- The government
won't hesitate a minute to COM
mandeer the stock of any dealer who
refuses to keep it moving. One auto
graveyard dealer in Indiana refused
to sell his stock, and the government
seized it.
IF you see piles of metal scrap
in dealers yard, keep these things
in mind:
"The war production board requires
reports to be made of all stocks on
hand every 80 days.
"The dealer can't possibly move
metals out of his yard at once. There
are hundreds of kinds and grades,
and the dealer must ordinarily ac-
cumulate carload or half a carload
of each kind before moving it on to
Askov American., 1942-05-07

the mill. Minneapolis scrap dealers
must have As to so tons of any one
grade of iron or steel scrap before
shipping it and there are IS different
grades of iron and steel scrap alone.
They must have Is tons of aluminium
and 20 tons of copper or brass before
shipping any of those metals. The
dealer must sort metals, cut them to
size and load them before they can
go off.
GAS for profits-the office of price
administration has set maximum
prices at the mill for metal scrap.
The dealer must bear the cost of COL
lecting the metal, sorting it, cutting
it, loading it into freight cars and
shipping it to the mill. The margin
of profit, federal officials say, is per-
fectly reasonable.
''When you help the salvage cam
paign, you're doing as much to win
the war as the man who makes tanks
or machine guns. What you save
will go into war uses or vital civilian
ones. You can be sure nobody is
taking advantage of your patriotism
to hold materials for high prices
or to make fat profits"
If by our cooperative effort we can
bring this war to a successful con-
clusion at an earlier date thereby
sparing its terrible cost in lives and
materials, our efforts will not have
been in vain.

GAME AND FISH DIVISIONS PET
GOT SOCKED IN ILLINOIS
Park Region Echo)

Park Region Echo)
The Emergency Conservation COM
mittee, which seems to have the pur-
pose of telling sportsmen things the
State Game and Fish division wants
to keep covered up, sent out infor-
nation the other day to sportsmen's s
clubs about the repeated fining of
George Kanenen of Grand Rapids, for
trucking undersized bullheads to Chi
cago for sale.
Kanenen is the man the State Game
and Fish division let off so lightly
for selling large number of illegal
beaver pelts.
After this letter went out to sports
men, the State Game and Fish Divis-
ion (Which had had nothing to say
about the Kanenen affair before)
came out with its story. 1t claims
that Kanenen had nothing to do with
it; that the bullheads were some the
state had seined and they were sold
to man named Moench, who sold
them to Chicago concern.
But the Illinois state department
tells different story. It doesn't
know anything about a man named
Moench. It caught Kanenen's truck
driver February 9 with a load of
illegal bullheads. Kanenen called
long distance to ask how much the
fine was. He was told it was $55, and
he was warned that if he did it again
he would get socked harder. In spite
of the warning, they picked up his
truck again on April z, loaded with
illegal bullheads, and again on April
13 with another big load. This time
it cost Kanenen $610, Kanenen send
ing the money to his driver to pay
the court.
It seems that the Emergency Con-
servation committee is something the
sportsmen of Minnesota need to get
the lowdown on what's going on in
the State Conservation Commission.
Long may it wave!

to-day physical life. People who get
even a $3O-a-month pension (the
maximum in this state), cannot lay
up much of backlog for the hard
times "sure to come" after the war;
They are lucky to have a little fore
stick during the war. Besides, lot
of them will be dead before the war
is over.
+. Most everyone admits these facts.
But in their all-out appeals for all
out efforts they make no distinction
as between those who can and those
who cannot afford it. From the White
House down to the Straw-stuffed
shirt on this-or-that "drive" not once
in blue moon is a sensible word
said about those who are unemploy-
able and who live from month to
month on beggar's dole. Those old
folk are timid, patriotic souls. Out
of sense of duty and loyalty, they
make sacrifices they cannot afford
to make. They cannot afford to
ask for their change in stamps
even if they have any change coming.
We ought to be frank, honest and
realistic. We ought not to club

haven't got it.

IF THIS BE TREASON
Editor ASkov American:

Editor Askov American:
Stung by backsets in the far east
some Of us grow hysterical and start
screaming, "buy stamps, buy bonds. !"
Much of this behavior springs from
the sadistic impulse to ''crack down.
on scapegoat-to point a finger
and yell "stop thief" to shift the
blame.
Because some "dollar-a-year" men
are giving" their time and some
people are getting good wages (the
first in a dozen dolorous years), we
think everybody is lousy with fold
ing" money-or do we think at all?
So we start yelling over the radio,
laundering in editorials, jabbering
from the platform, trying to frighten
some poor devil to buy stamp when
he actually needs a sandwich.
From letters and personal contacts
l find people who are actually being
wronged by these blanket broadsides.
I speak of oldsters, those over IS,
those who were not asked to register
for work (because they were "too
DID," though some of them can run
rings around many under 65). I
mean the $4,000 in this state who
are "existing" on an average of $21
a month-and living costs gone up
10 per cent in a year. And those
people are actually buying war
stamps! They are buying stamps
when they need to buy bread, buy
ing bonds when they need bacon.
Now the buy-bonds campaign ought
to be kept clear as to its purpose.
It is, primarily, to stop luxurious
extravaganza The oldsters on "as-
sistance" are not guilty. They don't
buy caviar and chrome-plated autos.
They buy corned beef and day-old
bread. Thanks to our bone-headed
philosophy of scarcity they warm
over the coffee grounds while Brazil
dumps hundred of tons Of coffee into
the sea-to keep the price up.

COMMON PEOPLE
Editor Askov American:

Editor Askov American:
The Republican Minneapolis Tri-
bune, referring to one of its politi-
clans in an editorial, stated: "Why
should he make believe he is one Of
the common people"
The paper unwittingly restated the
political philosophy of the Republican
party and that section of the press
that has been it's mouthpiece. For
over fifty years their editorial pages
have echoed that same doctrine,
"Why should we make believe we
are of the common people?" In all
those years their theory of govern
ment has been to build from the top
and to attack any social reform that
would improve the standard of the
people they classify as common.
Who are these people the Repub-
lican party and their Charley Nc
Carthy" press hold in such contempt?
They are those millions of common
people, who in 1917-18 invested 1870
billion dollars of economic man pow
er in war for liberty and laid a
victorious foundation for world peace
for the Republican party to build on.
After twenty-five years of lethargy
with the election "just around the
corner" they open their eyes to find
political expediency compels them to
admit they had neither the cour-
age nor the CUTS to consolidate the
gains the boys of 1918 had entrusted
to their charge.
Republican statisticians and press
agents work overtime feeding to their
loud speakers facts and figures to the
American people that distort the truth
and create in the minds of the people
opinions that will work to the adj
vantage of the interests they serve.
They have no time for statistics
that show every man entering the
armed services has an economic life
expectancy of thirty years which to
this man has an economic value of
$4,000. Before this present war is
over the common people will have
to invest $480, ,000, 600, 900 in economic
man power to clean up the mess the
