A POSSIBILITY

Although Alaska has been assured for the time being that there will be ratoning of sugar in the Territory the picture is vastly different in the States Soon only much of the sweet stuff per person will be allowed per month Whether or not sugar rationing will come to Alaska is a ques- tion that can't be answered yet And whether or not the rationng of sugar in the States will reach point where the lack of it will cause discomfort and going without, also is something the future to decide
 The curtament of sugar imports to the United States, plus the need for sugar from which to make pure alcohol for high explosives are the two main reasons for the apparent shortage If this shortage becomes really acute it looks if the pro- hibitionists going to have something to argue about, and the first thing know we'll be arguing again over the question that the repeal of the Egh teenth Amendment supposed to have settled.
 It seems inadvisabe to us that America should have to fight this thing again. especially right at the time that we're fighting a war. Never-th less, sprinkings the alcoholics are begin ming to appear in print.
 It is pointed out that it would be perfectly feas- ibe for the government to take the hard liquor which is in storage redis it and use the alco- ho for production It is also pointed out that rather than to clrta the use of sugar it would be fairer to curtail the sale of liquor
 It IS estimated that we nave approXlmately 2375 100000 gallons of 100 proof alcoholic hard liquor in storage at the present time. There is ques- tion but what the pure alcohol in this amount would contribute sizeably to the program
 Says pro-prohibiton magazine: Why de- prive the housewife Of sugar while this immense quantity of liquor is hand?" We'll, it's possibility. But it to us that it depends more or less on how you like your in your coffee, in your nghtcap. There are probably a great many persons who would rather go without sugar in their coffee than their liquor There are also probably a great many persons who would rather go without liquor At any rate this is no time to fight about it. If the government thinks that it is necessary to cut off the liquor supply it will probably do without any help from the pro- hibitionists Typical of some of the arguments which hinge on the is this bit
 "A few weeks ago heard that the German government reversing itself and supplying each soldier the Russian Front with his flask of liquor to help keep up his morale Then the Russian break through, and the Germans began to be forced back"
 We don't believe that our Russian Ally would swear to the authenticity of this yarn neither do we believe that Hitler has that much liquor

FRIENDLY ENEMIES

Joseph Fanelli is brilliant young lawyer who is Chairman of the Board of Immigration Appeals. His mother, Mrs. Mary Fanelli. came to the United States from Bari Italy, in 1905 She has raised eight children in America, but has never become a citizen herself, because she couldn't pass the educational tests.
 But in the early days, she scrub bed floors in New York office build ings so that her children might be educated Appreciating deeply the opportunities of America, she sent her boy Joe to Dartmouth, and then to Harvard Law School.
 His brilliance was recognized Now he presides over immigration mat ters in the Justice Department.
 Every year, Mrs. Fanelli comes to Washington to see Joe. She comes on his name day-Saint Jo- sephs Day. March 19
 But this year she didn't come. Joe wondered what was wrong.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1942-04-11

Next day, however, she appeared overjoyed to see him, but still upset about what had happened.
 Dat District Attorney" erie q Mrs. Fanelli, he don latta me eofne see my Joe! I tall heem my boy Joe eesa beeg man in Wash ington. But he don lat me come What'sa matter?"
 The matter was that Mrs. Fanelli 37 years a resident of the United States, and mother of an important official in the Justice Department was obliged to get a permit from the District Attorney before sht could leave the community.
 Reason. She is an enemy alien
 NOTE: The case of Mrs. Fanelli is typical of thousands of others along the Atlantic seaboard These cases are causing the Justice De- partment and even the Army tc think twice about proposals to move alien enemies" inland.

MILITARY INFORMATION

No announcement has been made, but the Senate and House Military Affairs Committees have won their battle to be kept informed of the progress of the war effort.
 During World War I. the two committees were kept advised of military developments abroad and and war production at home at con- fidential sessions with Colonel Leonard P. Ayres, chief statistical officer of the War Department. Ayres holds the same post in this war, and last year began a similar series of these meetings.
 But they were abruptly ended after Pearl Harbor. Chairman And rev J. May of the House Committee complained to Secretary Stimson, and got the explanation that the War Department wanted to avoid leaks"
 This drew such irate protests from both committees that Stimson has backed down and Ayres has been

Nature Trouble
Philadelphia Record)


 We thought we had trouble when imported starllngs to chase English sparrows. The sparrows and starlings promptly signed some kind of non aggression pact and now we've got both.
 But look at Caribbean possessions. They've got mongoose and whitehall deer trouble according to an article in the Puerto Rico World Journal Mongooses were imported into Puerto Rico by the Spanish in 1870 to kill off the islands rats But the rats climbed trees and escaped. So the hungry mongooses went after nests of birds on the ground and ate the eggs, and then spread out into eating hens eggs.
 White-taed deer introduced into St Croix Virgin Islands, in 1850 There are now 40OO of them They not only eat pasture intended for cattle but spread ticks the herds. Moral: When you monkey with nature make you know what you are doing
