 Furthermore, the United Stat es Is alrcdy holding as of this date already over 9 billion TOO million dollars in gold and before the war Is over will no doubt have close 10 25 billion dollars in gold. Today the United States is on an a.l-2at war basis. involv- ing expenditures far beyond all previous estimates. In this con- neltIon Dr Walter E. Spahr re- gently said.
 " With the probability that the United States ultimately will have a deb of 150 billion dollars or more; with the probability that the American dollar will eventually be devaluated further with the possibility that the price of gold will be raised to at least $70 an ounce in the United States those owning large shares in gold mining companies can well afford to sit tight with their hold ings, ignoring meaningless inter- mediate market quotations on gold stocks. Moreover, consider ing its potential greater future value it is our opinion that gold in the ground, ownership oP which Is represented by gold share certificates, is a better tn- vestment today than gold ahova ground in the form of bricks If the price of gold should eventual ly be raised to $70 an ounce if is not difficult to envisage the nro fits and dividends of gold mining companies increasing to such an extent as to warrant their sell ing at undreamed of heights

Predicts $7O.OO Gold After War
 And Tells Miners To Stand Pat

A. F. Woodward of the Fl Paso mne says in a message to the gold miners of Cripple Creek, Colorado.
 Don't think. because you hear so much talk of lead, zine, cop per and all the strategic metals that the work you are doing Is not amongst the most important, for while all these metals are in demand to make instruments with which to win this war, gold is still the most important metal of all. Every country is striving 10 get more gold.
 As one of the European die tators started in 1889, this is a war by countries having no gold against countries that have prac- tically all the gold. While we are fighting for liberty, justice and democracy, gold is still one of the underlying motives of the war and after the war is over gold will be the metal that will be relied upon to pay off the enormous wardebts. So the gold you are now mining will not only help win this war but it is going to be worth at least twice as much as it is at the present
 Fear not for the future of gold or gold mining companies be- cause their future is becoming increasingly assured as time marches on. Remembered that the United States, Great Britain and Russia produce about seven eighths of the worlds gold and these countries are going to use gold to pay for this war rather than make slaves of their people

JUNEAU-With liquidation of the civilian conservation corps in Alaska as elsewhere now in pro- gress, forest service headquar- ters in Juneau has issued a re- view of the CCC's accomplish ment and contributions in the Territory.
 One extremely important pro ject,' says the review, having great archaeological value, has been the restoration and preser- vation of totem poles and com munity houses, the most interest ing form of art developed by the Southeastern Alaska Indians.
 "The totem poles and commun ity houses were rapidly decaying and disappearing from sight when the CCC undertook the task of preserving these strange memorials and perpetuatlng this ancient art.
 When possible, the poles were restored but often they were so badly decayed that duplicates had to be carved. All of the com munity houses were in such poor state of preservation that they had to be entirely rebuilt.
 All of this work was done by Indian enrollees, the older In- dians teaching the younger men the art of carving. In addition to preserving the totem art, many of the younger Indians will be able to earn a livlhood in the future, through the sale of their carvings to curio shops and tour ists. This program of rehabilita- tion has received high praise from many organizations and in-

 Defense Contribution
 The review also says that dur ing the past year, work projects concentrated upon were of the type which contributed directly to the war effort, such as con- struction of an army airfeld, the development of strategic roads, trails and community gardens, and the providing of several camps for the armed forces.
 However, ar large part of the work accomplished during the entire nine years that the corps has operated in the Territory is now of real value to national de- fense. Air, sea and land transport ation have been materially bene fited by the construction of en- ergency airplane landing fields in remote areas, the installation of docks, floats and breakWaters, and the construction of low stand ard roads, trails, bridges, shel- ters and dog trails.
 Great strides have been made in the improvement of sanitation and living facilities in the Es- kimo and Indian villages through the development of water sys- tems, drainage ditches, sewage disposal systems, hydroelectric plants, model homes and street improvements.
 Recreation areas through the national forest have been devel- oped by the construction of shel ters, cabins, bathhouses, picnic areas and trails"

Latin Americans Seel
Approval Of Legion
To Fight With U. 5.
But Experts Here Feel
Southern Republics
Should Guard Selves
BY Wide World News.

By Wide world news.
Formation of a Latin American
legion-a token" brigade that would
fight beside United Nations troops
already opposing the Axis-is being
sought here.
Creation of such a fighting unit
to manifest the unity of the Amer
icas has been requested of the War
Department by persons in every
stratum of Latin society.
Diplomatic feelers have been put
out by Latin American ENJOYS. Re-
quests for active service with the
United States Army have been made
by scores of South American student
flyers now in training here. Citizens
of Caribbean and Central American
states who are living in the United
States have tried to enlist.
The desire to form a token
brigade is strongest among citizens
of those countries that already have
declared war on the Axis-Nicara-
qua, Guatemala, Honduras, Ell Sal
vador, Costa Rica, Panama, Cuba
Haiti and the Dominican Republic
Mexicans Want Action.
The same desire to fight has been
expressed by some citizens of Mexico
and by Chilean and Argentinean
student flyers whose countries still
maintain relations with Germany
Japan and Italy.
The preponderant military feeling
here Is that such a token" force
except from the inter-American
morale point of view isn't necessary
There Is no lack of military man.
power in this country. and such a
division would have to be outfitted
with United: States arms that are
sorely NEEDED by troops already
trained in the United States school
of warfare.
Also, military strategists of this
country believe the most vital
thing for the Latin American coun-
tries Is protection of their own ter
ritory against possible Axis attacks.
They argue that Jealous patriots
should enter the armies of their own
nation instead of joining Latin
American legion"
Although it won't appeal to men
who want a chance to fight, Latin
American flyers being trained in
this country will be far more val
liable to the United Nations war
effort, 1t is felt, II they return to
their native countries to teach new
sn,,adrons of flyers for future Use.
Must Resist Invasion.
It is imperative, the strategists
agree, that the Latin American
countries-particularly in the vicin-
ity of the Panama Canal-do all
they can to protect their own shores
from invasion attempts.
They emphasize that ANY spot
in the world, in a war like this, can
suddenly become theater of war.
Subsecretary of War Perez Benz
toa of Cuba came closest to making
concrete military offer when he
told President Roosevelt that Cuba
was ready to send troops anywhere
to aid the United Nations
Mexico and the United States
have signed joint military pact
but it applies only to mutual de-
fense of either country's territory.
Citizens of the other 20 republics
are not eligible to enlist in the
United States, which limits its rolls
to citizens and those who have filed
for citizenship.
