FOREIGN LANGUAGE NEWSPAPERS

What action, if any, should be taken in regard
to curbing the foreign language press in the United
States poses interesting and not unmportant
problem for the Federal government.
There is no question that ample authority for
controlling foregn-anguage publications exists Such
authority is provided by the old Trading With the
Enemy Act and also by recent power legislation.
Nor is the question che involving freedom of the
press. To place restrictions upon foreign Language
publications is not to interfere with the right to pub
fish, but merely to regulate mechanical feature of
publishing.
The War and Justice Departments reported
to be in disagreement the type of control to i'm
pose. The War Department is believed to favor the
suspension of all publications in German, Italian
and Japanese and the licensing OF all others The
Justice Department appears to endorse a licensing
system designed to suppress only the undesirable for
eign-language publications.
The problem is no small one. There are 900
foreign language publications in the United States
These include 220 in German $50 Italian and 25
Japanese In addition, there are 2l3 Yiddsh 1859
Spanish, and 81 Polish Some form of control is i'm
perative. Which system would be more valuable is
extremely difficult to determine.

HOROSCOPE.
"The stars incline
bat do not compel
THURS DAY. MAY 81

lnlS is an unlmpOrIant DAY Ill
planetary direction but it is for
tunate for Gemini natives who
should find much action inspired
by sense of freedom and joy in
maintaining liberty
HEART AND HOME This is a
date that may bring dispiriting news
regarding a certain phase of the
war. Anxiety concerning members
of the family-boys and girls in the
service Of the nation-should be
overcome by hard work for the gen
eral good. Realizing that this is
period of transition, america II
homes should be havens from
which are sent forth inspiring ideas
that bring comfort to all who Wis
ion the future. Through sacrifice
and tribulation a better civilization
is to emerge, the seers prophesy
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: The stock
market will continue spasmodically
to reflect the optimism that is
maintained by the nation There
will be sudden rises in security
values and numerous slumps al
though the general prosperity is
widespread and but slightly af-
fected by the many necessary trade
restrictions and the Government
fight to prevent any advance toward
initiation. Production OF American
factories reaches a new high as
labor becomes each week better
able to apply speed to tasks great
and small
NATIONAL ISSUES: Astrologers
warn against drastic methods to
prevent strikes or labor troubles of
any sort. Congress will from time
to time threaten legislation that is
manifestly unfair because it ignores
the possible blame belonging to en-
ployers. Profits on Government
contracts are to be regulated, if
the stars are rightly read. Before
the autumn elections the people of
the country will compel elnnina-
ton of political considerations
which now add to national appre-
tensions.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:
Aspects unfavorable to Hitler seem
to be dangerous for Russia also.
Disagreements among the Nazi
leaders will bring about real diff
culties for Goebbels and Goering,
it is forecast. The Russian situa-
ton may be affected by need of
greater aid from the United States
which will have the major respon-
sibility of providing airplanes and
supplies for the United Nations.
The Pacific conflict will add fame
to the Australians.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have an augury of good and i'll
fortune oddly mixed. Adventure is
foretold for both men and women.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be talented, self willed
and extremely artistic They should
have the ability and the industry
that assures success.

NEW SHIPPING BOSS?

Lewis Douglas early New Deal
Budget Director who broke with
the President over the economy
issue, is a good bet for War Ship
ping Administrators to replace Ad-
miral Emory Land
Land is also chairman of the
Maritime Commission and it is
felt that the two jobs are too much
for one man to handle. The di-
rection Of the loading and routing
of cargo ships has been under hot
inner circle fire for months and
top war chiefs recently reported
to the President that this is the
sourest spot in the war program.
If Douglas is made shipping boss
he will be given control over a
tangle he has been trying to I'M
ravel as a subordinate for several
months.
Early this year the President APP
pointed Douglas as assistant to
u. S, Lend-Lease Expediter Averell
Hartman in London. To prepare
himself fer this job. Douglas made
a study Of the handling Of shipping

such that the President cancelled

INDIANS
CONTRIBUTE TO
RED CROSS FUND

Groups of Eskimos and Indians,
in widely separated sections of AL
aska are contributing their bit to
the war effort by raising money for
the American Red Cross, according
to information received by H. w.
Startling, head of the Arts and
Crafts Division of the Office of
Indian Affairs.
At the Teller Mission a War Re-
lief Committee with five women
and five men as members has been
formed and has set quota of $500
to be raised for the American Red
Cross during the year ending March
IS. 1913, according to letter re-
ceived from John w. Ftllts. teacher
at the Mission.
OF this amount $40 has already
been raised by the sale of Eskimo
slippers sold through Mrs. Edna
OLeary at Nome. The slippers were
made by school girls and adult
women of Teller who took part In
the sewing project. Beads and slip
per Innings were furnished by the
school and all work donated by the
project group. School girls origin
ated the decorative bead designs
and the adults finished the lower
part of the slippers and the sew
ing.
This is an indication of how
money for the Red Cross can be
raised by these people who are
anxious to do their bit but among
whom sash is scarce" Mr.. Fults
wrote.

Work for the same purpose, to
raise money for the American Red
Cross, has also been completed by
the Alaska Native Sisterhood, Camp
10. 4 at Sitka, which decided to
make mocasins to be sold for the
benefit of the Red Cross, according
to Samuel p Troutman, principal.

TATTLETALE

The brashness with which good many Canadian
newspapers and military officials have been revealing
news which military and civil censorS in the United
States and Alaska consider military secrets is becom-
ing quite thorn in the sides of the gentlemen who
run the through the sieve.
Certainly, without the cooperation of Canadian
newspapers and censors who allow the publication of
vital bits of information the detectives of the West
em Defense Command in keeping such information
from the enemy is lost

highway was still in the contemplative stages one

Unwanted Help
Cincinnati Enquirer

British and American armed forces are in India
to defend that country against the japanese invader
Their numbers will have to be increased in all prob
ability because the Indian leaders themselves failed
agree to projected plan for self government, and
therefore blocked the development of adequate In
dian Army. And even if the Indians could build
sufficient ground force they still would need Ameri
can air sqladrons and British forces to make a
real defense.
All this ought to be obvious But Mohandas
K Gandhi apostle of nonvolence, is reSentful of the
inflow Of foreign troops He wants no help from
Britain or America, even China, contending that
a limiteSs number of fighting men could be trained
in India
Gandhi is undoubtedly correct in saying India
could provide limiess fighting man power. But he
chooses to ignore the fact that his own obstinate
refusal to cooperate with Britain in building strong
Indian Government has made it doubly necessary to

If it happens that part of India is overrun

may that there much things than the in

GLAMORIZEE

Hereafter. when the Navy awards
an "E" banner to a war plant, you
can write it down that the cere-
mony will reek with glamor.
It hasn't been announced yet but
the Navy has hired Steve flanagan
super press agent, who is famed for
glamorizing Miami Beach, as the
publicity mastermind of the Indus
trial Incentives Section, which has
charge of the e. banner program.
flanagan will replace James
Sewage, former publicity man of
the National Manufacturers Asso-
citation, who was brought to the
bureau as a $25-a-day civilian con-
sultant" by his close friend Comdr,
Lewis S. Strauss, former Kuhn
Loeb & Co. partner, who is chief
of the bureau. Sewage departed af-
ter it was disclosed that while on
the Navy payroll ne was involved
in campaign against Roosevelt's
labor Policies.
This activity is now under quiet
scrutiny on Capitol Hill, as is a
charge that it was the Industrial
Incentives Section that secretly
furnished Senator Harry Byrd of
| Virginia much of the material he
used in his attempt to scuttle the
40-hour week. Byrd's charge
against war plant workers later
were repudiated by Assistant Navy
Secretary Ralph Bard.
In addition to glamorizing Miami
Beach, flanagan also has exerted
his unique talents in behalf of Gene
Tunney, Gar Wood famous motor
boat builder and racer, Coca Cola
and the Union Pacific Railroad.
NOTE: So successful has been
the Nays policy of awarding e.
banners TO plants and shipyards
for outstanding war production
that the Army plans to adopt the
same practice.

on the right track, is that some of the prominent persons who partici- pated in the COP Douglas debacls may be in there swinging with the donkey riders. Party colors have been changing the last few years. Men who heretofore would have eringed to be found even visiting at a Democratic rally and were firm in their COP principles have been entering Democratic primaries
 partly because Of the Democratic trend, mostly because of a natural political desire to do a little fifth Column work within the admins tration ranks. Not fifth columning as we think of it in connection with the war, mind you, but just a little old-fashioned political maneuYering. Clyde Ellis. former COP war horse In the Third Division, probably put It about right recently when he commented on voting in the Demo- cratic primary: No fun In the Re- publican party any more; might as well get into a party where there is something doing" It may have been some such reason that inspired such prominent and long-residence COP Alaskans as II. L. Faulkner, B. D. Robertson, ". s. Pullen, Nor man BanfieId and others to desert the Willkie party ranks in the re- cent primary and ask for a Demo- cratic ballot-just good, clean pol itieal fun. Report is that one who saw no fun in switching parties was veteran G0Per Albert White. The man who ran that famous Douglas convention is still a Republican, ac- cording to primary reports.
 It is these reported party deser- tions which cause political observ- CTS to forsee great things ahead in the next donkey riders convention. The first line Democratic group can see, they believe-though it may be something they ate-smart ex- GOPers, with impeccable personal regulations and wide followings. moving into the Demo ranks bent on raising a little havoc and possib- ly gathering up enough votes in advance to challenge control, if not actually to take oyer. It's probably one of the most interesting pict- ures in Alaska politics today. War, being what 1t is, and party politics being buried under the push of all Americans to win the war, one nev- CT can tell, but this old reporter rather thinks a convention of such
