Hubbard Says kiska's HarbOr Is Excellent
FATHER HUBBARD SAYS LAPS HAVE BEST PORT
 ALEUTIAN ISLANDS

SEATTLE, Aug. - The Rev. Bernard R. Hubbard, s. J., the Glacier Priest said that Jap occupied Kiska island has the best harbor of any island in the Aleutian chain, and one that the enemy can utilize as a submarine base.
 Arriving in Seattle from AL aska, Father Hubbard told inter- viewers: There are three good harbors along the Aleutian chain namely one at Dutch Harbor, one at Atka, and the other a5 Kiska. Of the three, Kisxa by far IS the best.
 Now there Is no use kidding ourselves in the face of the plain fact that the Japs have the best harbor in the AleutianS.
 Asked if occupation of the AL eutian outposts constitutes a real threat to the Pacific Northwest, the famous Catholic priest declar ed: Of course it is. Forget about bomberS in the Aleutians and weather controls for flying, but think about submarines. Think a moment and realize Jap Subma- rlneS based at Kiska can prey on North Pacific shipping from a base 2,000 miles closer to Am erica than ever could have been done before.
 Father Hubbard said that the United States Navy is doing a grand job in Alaska, but warned that the war in the west must be long and bitter.
 Americans at home are notyet awake. He said:
 Tt is distressing to come from a land where American men are fighting and dying to find busi- ness as usual, politics as usual and politicians worse than usual at home"

Know No Limit

But when it comes to souven- irs, the natives know no limit.
 The AussieS, anxious to get some of the really artistic sou venirs made by the natives. are paying sky high prices for them.
 As a result, the native souvenir caterers are colning money, and changing t into tobacco sticks. which they carry about like a wealthy man carries bank notes.
 With such wealth as Is pounds of tobacco sticks, the native can buy himself a wife and live in luxury for many months.
 By the simple expedient of con tinuing the souvenir trade, the native workers discovered they would extend the life of luxury indefinitely instead of returning to arduouS labor in the stone quarries.

 United States Trade
 Incidentally, it is pointed out that Argentina cannot trade pro fitably with the United States un less Washington can and will make available in New Orleans and other Gulf of Mexico ports coal and other goods Argentina requires.
 The exchange of notes between Buenos Aires and Berlin over the torpedoing of the tanker Victoria and the freighter Rio Tercero has done nothing to weaken relations between Argentina and Germany, Indeed, it gave Germany an op- portunity for reaffirming her friendship for Argentina.
 The exchange served one use ful purpose, however, for it show ed that Germany set a high value on Argentine neutrality, and this cannot but mean that the Axis finds it's embassies and consulates in Argentina are val uable.

Argentina Affirms Neutrality Policy

BUENOS AIRES - At the an- ual Army-Navy dinner, Presi dent Ramon s. Castilla reaffirm- ed Argentina's neutrality more categorically than ever before. He evidently felt public opinion was behind him, for, not content with limiting that it was by no means certain the United States had the right on her side in her fight against this continents en- emies, he indulged in a tirade against war mongers." He add ed the warning that he would not tolerate any agitation against his policies.
 Perhaps Senor Castillo spoke as he did because he was address ing an audience composed most ly of Army officers, who notor- iously have great admiration for the German military machine. In the case of a large majority of Argentina's officers, this admira- ton is purely professional; it does not extend to the political regime that built Germany'S arm ed might. It is an open secret, however, that the Argentine Army is convinced that Adolf Hitler cannot be defeated and therefore firmly believes Argen- tina should not abandon her neu trality.
 Senor Castillo, who for the last two years has spared no effort to win the sympathy of the Army and Navy, expressed him. self more strongly than he would otherwise have done, knowing that a decided isolationist stand would please his immediate au- dience.
