ALL-OUT CONTROL

In recent comment Bernard M. Baruch re- stated effectively his belief that any antinflation program be successful, must be unified program, and every segment of economic life Price control alone will not work magic MT. Baruch ob- served We must tie it in with industrial mobiliza- tion which will bring about total preparation to meet total war"
 This is the only practical approach to the prob lem of waging and yet preserving stable econ omy The price system, ordinarily fluid thing to make our economy self-regulating can be made a weapon of enforced stability in wartime. But this can be done only if every factor which enters into prices is itself subjected to intelligent regulation
 Tn practice this that the price-control system lately set upitself tribute to MT Baruch's foresght--is merely beginning We must follow through by stabzing wages, by still heavier tax aton by the development of substitute materials and by standardization and simpification of products.
 The government has come reluctantly to the all- out price control long ago recommended by MT Baruch. It ought now to face frankly the impli- cations of his further proposals, and begin cour- ageously to impose equally effective curbs all other facets of our economy. Otherwise the price control scheme will only be dam holding back the onward surge of purchasing power and eventually the dam will break A

We Learn Geography
{Cincinnati Enouirer)

{Cincinnati Enquirer)
 It is one of the misfortuneS of the American school system that for most pupils geography is taught only in the primary end grammar grades while history and other subjects opened to older pupils though it important. In sconse- quence most Anerieans woefully lacking in a knowledge of geography as they leave formal edu- cation and go to their careers.
 War has way of bringing geography into its true importance. Wars fought land and sea Battles are in great measure lost com manders understand and utilize the features of the terrain And the larger strategy of any is at bot tom process of relating ones military forces to the facts of geography. sfias9 ta
 Nothing can make war a decent or pleasant busi- ness. But of its incidental benefits is that it evokes lively interest in geography The early campaigns of this made exotic Polish and Scan- dinavian place familiar newspaper readers everywhere The campaign in the Low Countries drove home to all the significance of the fact that the northern rim of Europe is low plain, while the bulk of the Continent is broken up by mountain bar
 AS the has progressed the place names of greatest interest have become increasingly exotic Hong Kong and Singapore had their moments of pub licity Americans learned much about the Philip pines, which 40 years of our sovereignty there had failed to teach The fabulous isles of Netherland India to Bali came for their share of atten- ton. And the ceners such utterly un- known places as the Solomon Islands, Madagascar Mauritius New Caledonia and the Coral Sea- We learning also how deceptive our flat maps, for global warfare is literally that Only on globe discern the relationships of islands and continents It is poor consolation for all the evils that entails but shall all be better edu- cated in the neglected subject of geography before the last battle is won.

Something seems to have happened to Juneau in the last several months It's something which every person in Juneau ought to be pretty darn proud of.
 Juneautes have shown that they know what morale is and that they've got plenty of it.
 few months ago not few persons all set to make tracks for parts which they believed might be safer. They realized that there pos sibity that the Japs might pay them call in Ju- neau They were little jumpy. They bely-ached over some insignificant things like rationing. and priorties and less fresh and vegetables. and censored mail
 Then funny thing happened All of these things got worse The days became longer and the possibility of bombing raids heightened More mail was censored than before Travel regulations became strict Merchants began looking price ceil- ings in the face along with delays in shipments of goods. Motor engine parts wore out and couldn't be replaced Many more things were rationed. The tourist trade shut off completely.
 But instead of rantng and ravng and gripping, Juneau residents bought more War Bonds than ever. They entertained soldiers who driving heavy trucks over their and only road and making it as rough a washboard They learned how to take their weekly air raid drill without batting eyeash
 Many of them parked their autos in their garages Many forgot all about planting flowers and worked like the devil in planting their front yards with spuds and other vegetables.
 Most important of al Juneau residents have come to realize that come hell high water tfilled with Jap submarnes), they live in Juneau because they like it and they aren't going to leave their homes because there's going It takes a lot more than war, when it's knocking at our front door, to make any American give up his home And that applies to Alaskans, too.
 We're going to have to sacrifice quite a bit be- fore this thing is We're going to be told that there aren't such things as luxuries. We may even have to eat some of these spuds and carrots we're planting in our front yards.
 Wire going to have to learn how to wear gas masks, how to walk when want to look at the scenery dnstead of looking at it through car win dow), how to do without trip to the States now and then, and other things.
 But if take these things with the same spirit that we have in the last few months, we'll do al right

CASH OR NOTHING

Next day, the experiment was re- peated with salt water. This time, to make sure there was no decep- ton, the mixture was made in a room entirely bare of furniture Again the inventor poured water into the gasoline tank, mixed a few drops of green liquid with 1t, the engine started and did not even sputter. It settled down at once, developing 75 percent of it's rated horsepower.
 Next, Inventor Andrews was talk en to Washington for a demonstra- ton before the Nays Bureau of Engineering. It was so convincing that the Navy asked to buy his invention. The price asked was s2o00,o00. The Navy countered by offering to put $2,000,000 in the bank in escrow, the money to be paid when he had taught ten naval experts to mix the fuel.
 Andrews refused the offer, saying he wanted cash. This made the navy skeptical, They hesitated, and a day or two later the inventor dis appeared. He has never been heard of since.

Nov el innovations in knitting and sewing are foreseen. Preparations for winter needs of men in service are to be more effectively conducted than in previous months.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Vagaries in weather will be hampering to agriculture cut great crops are prognosticated The handling and distribution of food products will engage great numbers of persons through the summer Women will contribute expert help through the canning season as well as in pack ing houses and offices concerned with the exportation of fruits and vegetables. Plenty of money will be in circulation.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Care and direction of evacuees will cause diff ferences of opinion regarding Am erican methods which may appear overgenerous and too trustful. The stars warn of sabotage for which innocent aliens will be blamed. Among the Germans and the Jap anese who are interned the ma jority will be found worthy of our good offices but danger turks in the few, according to the seers.

Institute Proceedings, an official record, and the Navy in 1916 was 20 convinced that gasoline could be made cut of water that 1t was willing to pay S2,00o,000 for the process.
 But suddenly, the inventor, a Portuguese. disappeared The Navy has never been able to find him since.
 Here is the official version as written down by Captain E. P. Jes-' SOD, then a senior engineering of- ficer at the New York Navy Yard. He records that Portuguese named John Andrews came to the engin- eering laboratory of the New York Navy Yard where he poured water from Navy bucket into the fuel tank of a Navy motor boat engine, then took small phial from his pocket and dropped 6 or 2 drops of a greenisli fluid into the tank. Then he said, Start the engine"
 The inventor had not examined the engine or altered it in any way. It sputtered bit at first then settled down to work and consumed every drop of fuel in the tank, developing 75 percent of Its rated horsepower.
 By this time" writes Captain Jessop in the offical record, we were in a state of mind to describe, We had seen gas engine assimi- late great percentage of water in it's fuel, when all our experi- ence had proved that a very small percentage of water in the fuel would make the engine refuse duty; and the simplicity Of Andrews equipment seemed to make 1t inn possible for him to have deceived us.p
