IL lican in Democratic cabinet?"
With a grin on his ruddy countenance
and gleam in his eyes, Secretary OF
the Navy Frank Knox replied
There's no politics in this job-never
has been and never will be-"
Nevertheless 1T is an open secret in
Washington that Col Knox has been
pilloried by some Republicans and
Democrats.
The Democrats would like to have his
off1ce-one of the most important in ma
tional defense and war. Some Of them
have hungered for it ever since he was
appointed by President Roosevelt year
and a half ago. The Republcans-par-
ticularly those who did not 90 along with
the Presidents foreign policy-have
dubbed him traitor"
Ever since Japan's attack-without
warrington the Pacific fleet in Pearl
Harbor, Col. Knox has been taking it on
the chin. His chin is still up.
Further, the Secretary Of the Navy Is
anything but pessimist so far as the
American Navy is concerned. He may
tell you, if you ask him, that it was a
great humiliation to be outguessed by
the japanese. He feels deeply about it.
His great ambition is that the Navy
will soon wipe out the Pearl Harbor de-
feat. He is confident this will happen.
With the President, Col. Knox is driving
fast for the American fleet to take the
initiative.
Resents Baseless Rum0rs.
Like the President, too Col. Knox
resents the widespread charges-of the
rumor variety-that the country has not
been told the truth about Pearl Har-
bor."
The iibe-"there isn't any Pacific
Fleet"-which has gone the rounds OF the
Capital, is given the lie direct by the TACT
that successful attacks on the Marshall
and other japanese held islands have
been made.
No one will ever have to tell Col. Knox
however, to remember Pearl Harbor.' =
The heart-rending thing about the Pearl
Harbor affair to Col. Knox, aside from
the loss of life and blow to the country's
naval strength, was the fact that there
was SUFFICIENT force, well equipped, to
have blasted the Japanese attack, had
this force only been used. This goes for
both air and naval forces.
The Secretary of the Navy is particular
" proud of the fact that at no time has
there been a charge anywhere that the
program for the expansion of the United
States fleet-now looking to two-ocean
Navy-has fallen behind. On the con-
trary, the ships are coming off the ways
and into commission months and months
ahead of the program schedule.
BY the end of this year there will be
six new IS OOO-ton battleships in commits
sion-the greatest fighting craft ever
launched. Two of these ships have al
ready been commissioned. Four more are
on the way. Cruisers, destroyers, sub

marines and other auxiliary craft are
coming fast in this building program, too.
Col Knox Is no traitor" to the Re-
publican party-but he just is not play
ing politics, or having any part in them
at this time-despite the fact he owns
and controls the Chicago Daily News.
He took his present office in July, 1910,
after the fall of France. He went into
it with the full understanding that there
was to be no politics in connection with
his duties-just as did his Republican
colleague, Secretary of War Stimson.
Never once during his more than
year and half in the cabinet has Col.
Knox been asked to do political Job by
his chief, President Roosevelt He has
never been asked to make q political
speech or speech with political impli-
cations. He has never been asked to
make a partisan political appointment
in his department.
Furthermore, political questions have
never arisen in the meetings of the
President with his cabinet while Secre-
tary Knox and Secretary Stimson were
present. Nor have his Democratic COL
leagues ever twitted Col. Knox for being
a Notwithstanding the fact
that he has come to be on the most
friendly terms with them.
Politics Is "Out."
In others words, politics, so far as the
Secretary of the Navy is concerned. is
out" And yet his appointment and that
of Secretary Stimson cannot escape en-
tirely a political implication. 1t is that
partisan politics, so far as national de-
fense and the conduct Of the war are
concerned, has been laid aside.
This is, of course, the only tenable po-
sition that the two Republicans serving
in Mr.. Roosevelts official family can oc-
cupy. Col Knox is entirely frank in say
ing that he has burned all political
bridges behind him, that he has no po-
litical aspirations and no axes to grind.
And the same may be said of Secretary
Stimson.
After all, it is rather an amazing thing
that the two major Offices having to do
with the running of the war under the
President should be in the hands OF men
who have been prominent in the party
opposed to Mr.. Roosevelt. Col. Knox
was the Republican candidate for Vice
President In 1886. Secretary Stimson
served as Secretary Of War In the cabinet
of the late President William Howard
Taft and as Secretary Of State in the
cabinet of former President Hoover.
They were selected by the President be-
cause they saw eye to eye with him IN
the matter of national defense and the
need of preparing the country for war
and because they agreed with his for
eign policy.
When the President first invited Col.
Knox to become member of his cabinet
many months before the appoint
ment-Col Knox declined. He told the
President there seemed at that time no
need for him to take the job-that the
war was far away from this country.

Exit The Gadget

NEW YORK IlmeS)

We can't even be vulgar and get new spitoon Home

However, the guests who COM
mand most attention were Secre-
tary of Interior Harold IckeS and
Secretary of Agriculture Claude
Wickard Because Ickes and Wick
ard have differed over who should
have jurisdiction over the Forest
Service. everybody waited to see
if there would be any fireworks.
Leavy is a good friend of both,
but he loves an argument, SO he
grabbed them as they entered the
hotel and insisted they all have a
soft drink together.
I'm thirsty" said Leavy, with a
mischievous grin, and l know you
fellows enjoy each others company
very much. We have plenty of
time"
While slipping his drink, Leavy
revealed that he did not plan to
quit Congress until the Appropria-
tons subcommittee, of which he
is member had acted on the
Interior and Agriculture budgets.
Ickes and Wickard exchanged a

for the check. Wickard won out

Leavy. Il insist on paying"
Not at all, Charlie replied
Wickard. I'm delighted to buy you

Later Ickes brought howls when
as POSTMASTER, he related the In
cident. Its not surprising to me,
he said, that Claude got that
check. He's an expert at grabbing
off things"
Wickard shot back: rThat's the

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not Compel
TUESDAY, MAY &c


Adverse aspects rule today which
should be used with caution. In
itiative should be postponed for
disturbing news may be expected.
HEART AND HOME: Simple liv-
ing will be planned by all who
have foresight. AS in England,
large homes in this country will be
abandoned for homes that can be
maintained at moderate cost Post
war customs will be different from
those followed in previous years.
Women will study artistic decora-
ton and furnishing at low costs
and will find solace in days of
anxiety by changing their environ
ment in ways that will assure beau
ty and comfort as we'll as sweep
ing economies.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Discov-
cries of much-needed metals re-
quired in the industries is prog
nosticated for the coming summer
when prospectors will find rare
ores, formerly supplied by import
alton from foreign countries. War
is to develop many supplies of raw
materials formerly ignored in times
of uninterrupted commerce. I'm
usual fluctuations of the stock mar
ket may be expected next month.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Discomfort
among men in the armed forces Of
the United States will be definitely
expressed as labor leaders demands
again cause consciousness of the
difference between high wages in
industry and the low pay of men
under arms. Great differences in
the sacrifices entailed by the exig-
encies of war will inspire heated dis
cussions among the people on whom
heavy tax burdens rest.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR 5:
Jupiter on the ascendant at Lon
don presages better conditions for
Britain as spring intensifies the
conflict in the Second World War.
Anglo American cooperation will
prove most effective in coming
months. Jupiter eliminating at
Marking should benefit China, who
will receive aid that is most for
tunate at this time. The stars
seem to promise progress toward
victory for the democracies.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of a busy year in. which
social contacts are fortunate. They
should be on guard against all
forms of impulsiveness.
Children born on this day prob
ably will have high ideals and dis
tinctive talents. Their esthetic
sense will cause them to love ar
tistic things, but exotic tendencies
should be eradicated.

GAS WARFA

When the German war machine recently was
accused of using gas in its Russian campaign, 1t
wasn't the first time that such violation had been
attributed to Axis nation. Japan used gas in its
China campaign Conclusive proof of this latter ex-
ample reached the United States in pictures.
Colonel Alden H. Watt, Of the Chemical War
fare Corps of the United States Army. in recent
article in Flying Magazine gives very sensible &C
count of the effectiveness of gas warfare.
Many writer's would have believe that large
bombing planes carrying chemical agents may cover
cities and towns with gas and literally blot out en-
tire populations. Others say that chemicals will not
be used against cities and towns because of inef-
fectiveness
Col Watt says that Gin gas war, the chemical
weapon will find wide uses as an important auxiliary
TO high explosives 1t will not wipe out populations,
nor will it entirely supplant explosives But it will
be most effective weapon"
The JapS, who have used gas in their warfare,
are themselves especially vulnerable to in their
thicky populated island cities They realize this and
for years held repeated gas defense exercises in
their large cities and have well-deveoped civil de-
Tense scheme
Our Office of Civilian Defense also is considering
the chance of gas attacks and Alaska cities will
have gas masks and protective clothing which they
will learn to just in
In most cases. local civilian defense boards which
have considered this problem have utilized members
of their fire departments medical services, nurses,
and others appointing special anti-gas wardens and
supervisors to educate the population in the methods
of protection.
The members of the civilian defense units through
out the United States and its Territories well as
the entire population all will be equipped with gas
masks as soon possible according to the present
policy of the OCD.
Juneaus gas masks as well as protective clothing
and other civilian defense equipment has been or
dered and soon will be received here. Other Alaska
cities also have requsitioned such equipment.
This is necessary precaution to be taken in any
war Let's hope that never have to use the gas
masks But let's learn how to use them

WAR FLASHES

Belgian anti-Axis saboteurs have
blown up one of the largest syn
thetic fertilizer plants in their
country, This is a serious blow to
the Nazis, who have been using the
output of this plant fol food pro-
duction in Germany. = For more
than month there have been no
cereals of any kind on the Sofia
market. Also the lack of feed COM
mandeered by the Nazis. is so sew
ere that thousands of horses have
died of starvation.
Four small Buffalo concerns are
demonstrating that where there is
will there is way tc aid war
production. Three of them tomb
stone manufacturers, have obtained
contracts to sandblast castings for
battleships and machine gun
mounts. The fourth, which formerly
made wigwag turn signals for
trucks, is now making ornaments

Slaughter of Innocents
Cincinnati Enquirer)


Once more the mass executions SO typical of Nazi
policy in conquered countries have reached new
peak Germany is attempting to enslave the popu-
lations of dozen countries of Europe to make them
work for bare subsistence to provide the foodstuffs
and ornaments for the Reich. Having failed to
persuade any appreciable number of persons that
they should Join forces with Germany, Hitlers only
recourse is to the bludgeon-and the firing squad
In recent days than 125 Hoanders and
Frenchmen have been executed. In most instances
they were not found guilty" of terrorism, but
men selected at random hostages" Naz policy
persons a warning to their neighbors to toll I'M
remittingly for the triumph of German arms
From the military standpoint the significance of
this rise in executions is momentous. 1t indicates
that the of sabotage and resistance is mount
ing in all the conquered nations of Western Europe
This that Hitler will have to keep more of his
troops in garrison service reducing the effective
forces he can send to the battefronts 1t also
that public opinion in the conquered countries is
turning and openly to support of the
United Nations.
We cannot expect helpless civilian populations
without arms to overthrow their conquerors 1t would
be wishful thinking of the worst sort to expect the
French and Dutch and Norwegians to win
for us But we can count on ever-greater friend
illness in the civilian populations wherever the troops
of the United Nations may land on the continent
And that is a military advantage of real Importance
