AIR RAID DRILL
 ORGANIZATION E
 FORMED, SCHOOL
Phillips Asks HousehoId- CTS to Volunteer fo Take
 Bus Pupils in Homes

Juneau public school pupils were to have their first practice air raid drill today. according to A. B. Phillips, Superintendent. Today's alert was to be merely an organi- ration drill, showing the pupils how to leave the building what to do if the alarm sounds.
 In preparation for the organiza- tion of the schools to clear the pupils from the building in case of an air raid, MT Phillips today asked for householders in the city to volunteer to take care of some of the out-of town children.
 There are about 185 pupils who come to school on the bus," MT. Phillips said this morning. These pupils will not be able to get home during an air raid. Many, of course, have relatives or friends in town with whom they can stay, but we would like householders to volun- teer to take care of two or three pupils"
 MT. Phillips requests that volun- teers write him, telling him how many children may be assigned to their home
 The parents of out-of- town chil- dren are to be notified of this policy so that they make their own arrangements if they prefer. Tn all cases, the parents will be noti- fled Of the place their child is to go in an air raid drill, so that they can always find him.
 Householders willing to volun- teer to do this service may write MT. Phillips in charge of the school, or telephone. He would prefer to receive the offer through the mail, however.

Personal Popularity Of Mohandas Gandhi
 In Washington Low
Continued from Page one)

Continued from Page One) Jap claims, and a wave of "So what?" defeatism swept India after Cripps returned home.
 The cobbler, the peasant, the lit tie shopkeeper-they do not see how fatal Jap victory would be-" Singh says passionately. They only see that another hope of independence is smashed. So they say Why fight for freedom we haven't got?'"
 Jailing of Gandhi and Nehru plays into the Japs hands, Singh contends, and they are the only Indian leaders who could counteract the Jap pro- paganda but they can't do it from jail Singh explained the Gandhi- Nehru demands on Britain not as blackmail but as more forced by the Indian masses. Jap agents would have claimed they were selling out" to the British had they not demanded immediate action.
 Singh bitterly assails any sugges- ton that Gandhi and Nehru are pro-Axis. They are inviolably demo- cratic, he says, and points to Nehru's record as the first world leader to denounce Jap aggression in China, the Italian move in Abyssinia and | the fascist attack on Spain in sup ! port of his claims. In contrast, he points out that L. s. Amery, British Secretary for India, defended the Jap invasion of Manchuria in the House of Commons in 1881. Singh brought with him a plan for the U. s. State Department which he says Gandhi would accept It's simple. First, a gentleman's | agreement that the veto power Of the Indian viceroy will not be used during the war. Second, guarantee of Indian freedom after the war. Third, replacement of the present government council by an interim government of IS members, five tc be Indian MOSlemS, i've to be lnulan Nationalists and five to be named by the viceroy.
 America should insist on a set tlement of the Indian crisis" Singh says. America has big stake iil it. If India is allowed to go by default because her people have nothing to fight for, American boys now playing in the streets will grow up to find the country still fighting Japan"

'ALL OUT FOR WAR
MEANS JUST THAT
DURING World War I, a manu-
facturer friend, whose plant was
working to capacity on a govern
ment order, said to me:
''The government needs my prod
uct. 1t cannot get it elsewhere. I
can, and propose to raise my price,
and the government will pay"
docs your present price meet
your production costs?" asked.
Eyes, and more, but"
''You have a son in France. He
is offering all he has, including life,
to serve his government, and not
asking price, but you"
The tears came to his eyes as he
stopped me. NO." he said, 81 had
not thought of it in that way. The
price will not go up; it will come
down."
That should be the attitude of all
of us in this war.
''All out" war means a total sac
rifice on the part of all of us to de-
feat the enemy. The men in our
armed forces offer that total sac
rifice without thought of gain. They
offer life when needed. The manu-
facturer who demands a profit on
his product, the farmer who insists
on higher prices for his crops, the
workman who demands excessive
wages, who refuses to work long
hours, or strikes because he can en-
force unreasonable demands, are
not fighting an "an out" war. They
refuse to sacrifice for the cause.

SOME OBSERVATIONS
ON BLACKOUTS'

ON MONDAY, Tuesday and We'd
nesday following the Jap attack on
Hawaii, it rained, and rained hard,
throughout southern California. All
who could had remained indoors to
avoid a ducking. Late Wednesday
afternoon the storm broke, the sun
set clear and by seven o'clock peo-
pie of the cities, towns and farms
were out en- masse to see the
Christmas displays in the streets
and in the shops.
Then-bing !-street lights and the
decorative Christmas lights were
out. The sirens were sounding an
air raid warning. Over the radio
the interceptor command was order
ing all lights out in all homes, mo-
florists were instructed to stop at
the side of the road wherever they
might be, put out all lights, and re-
main there until the "Au Clear" sig
nal was given.
It was a Observation-Disclosures s
first hint of the meaning of war.
The interceptor command reported
the possibility of enemy planes be-
ing in the offing.
Winter nights can be chilly in
southern California. To sit for three
hours and more in unheated, I'M
lighted cars; to sit for three hours
and more in unlighted homes or to
find the way to bed in the dark,
takes more of something than the
American people usually display
but they did it.
Whether the interceptor COM
mand had heard the drone of a fleet
of Jap planes or the sound of a
flock of boot owls, that alarm DEM
onstrated that the civilian popula-
ton will obey wartime orders and
that we have the spirit needed to
win this war.
SPENDING Sc BILLIONS
FIFTY-SIX BILLION DOLLARS
for war expenditures in 1912. Can
we spend it? That is far more than
it cost to run the federal govern
ment for the first 100 years of our
national existence, including the
cost of three major wars and some
smaller ones. It means spending
approximately $153, 900, 900 each one
of the 365 days of 1912; Sc, 350, 900
for each one of the $3.50 hours. My
guess is that there will be some of
the Sc billions left over at the end
of 1912.
SEVEN OR MORE cents a pound
increase in the price of coffee at
the grocers, and in Brazil they are
burning thousands of 126-pound bags
to keep it off the market. A bit
of flooding" of the American mar
ket might help us and Brazil. Amer
lean housewives would consider that
as being a good neighbor.
THE FIRST BLACKOUT is thrill;
the second is accepted as a neces-
sity; the third is nuisance, for the
fear of Germans or Japs is gone.

DEBT DECREASE

THE COMMERCE department at
Washington reports decrease IN
state and local debts by total of
$42, 900, 600 for the II months end
ing last June 80. That is not much
out of a total indebtedness of $780,
183, 1000, 900 for local and state gov
ernments, but at least it is step
in the right direction.
The present bonded indebtedness
of local, state and federal govern
ments amounts to SIT, 434, 000, 900.
That does not include the debts of the
various corporations and admins
trations chartered by the federal
government and for which we guar
antee their bonds, which means we
must pay them. It also does not
include the money loaned to the
democracies under the lease-lend
law, or much of our own cost of
preparedness and war. America will
not kick about any necessary war
cost, but most of us may complain
a bit about the cost of unnecessary
civilian activities.
