CAPITAL CHAFF

The man who had lot to do with the Catholic Church's emphatic en- dorsement of Roosevelt's war pol- cies was Myron Taylor, Ambassador to the Vatican, who recently flew to Rome for an audience with the Pope Only short time ago, Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker, the man with nine lives, was an ardent isola- tionist, opposed Roosevelt's pre- Pearl Habor foreign policies. Since Pearl Harbor, he has been putting every ounce of energy behind the war One old Roosevelt friend who would emulate Rickenbacker, if called upon to serve, is Joseph P.

The American consumer doesn't know it yet, but he will suffer far more as a result of the war than merely curtailment of such things as typewriters, refrigerators, auto mobiles, tires, butter and coffee.

CENSORSHIP BATTLE

The fight the necessity of censoring mail between Alaska and the United States continues in Washington, DC, in hearings conducted by the Senate Judiciary Committee. The latest to testify for the continued censorship is Attorney General Francis D Riddle.
 He uses as his strongest argument the fact that Seattle censors have intercepted letters from persons in Alaska giving information on the Pearl Harbor disaster and on troop movements, planes. and other vital facts which would prove helpful to the eneniy if given to him
 That is his argument concerning the necessity. right of the Commander in Chief to impose domes- tic censorship if the need arises.
 Since when is the Attorney General or even the President taking the legislative powers of Congress-? This isn't totalitarian state yet-not where one man two or three men can give the orders unless these have been sanctioned by the Congress of the United States Riddle says that the President has the right" to impose do- mestc censorship. For who has such an important position as Riddle has and who is sup posed to know the laws of the United States, he is expressing little evidence of such knowledge
 The President has only those rights which are granted to him by the people in the Constitution. The first War Powers Act did give the Commander in-Chef the right to control communications be- tween the United States and foreign countries. That was all Not even the President has the right" to peek into our domestic mail and although mail between Alaska and the States has been cen sored to date, it has been going without any legal authority.
 Riddle knows that. He knew that yesterday when he said that he had no doubt that the prac-

tice entirely legal. He said much when he added, we would feel much better if Congress underlined the Presidents authority" Thus it seems that our democratic procedure has been reversed according to Riddle First the President takes whatever powers he wants Then Congress is to make laws 'underlinng7 granting these powers. Just because we're fighting is no reason to abaidon the American way of doing things.
 As to Biddles main argument
 It is no secret that the truth about Pearl Harbor was probably in the hands of thousands of Ameri- cans in the United States long before the results announced a few weeks ago This information probably travelled by mail all the United States Other information, such the size and location lof troops vital production centers etc. also prob ably was exchanged in the mail in the United States proper between Americans just it exchanged between Americans in Alaska and their American friends in the United States.
 mayor of California city recently crowed about the fact that the Presidents wife had given him the full story about Pearl Harbor in order to few days after the disaster
 Did he tell any of his friends? Did Riddle, who evidently knew the truth about Pearl Harbor drop any whisperings? Did any of the officers and men tell of the happenings? Sure they did.
 The important thing, We it, is this:
 Alaskans Americans and they shouldn't be treated differently than other Americans. If mail is going to be censored it for all Americans in the American way-not in the American way that it has been carried on to date. If intra- United States mail had been censored, the same vital information would have been found.
 Since this censorship has been going on, we have learned much about what has been hap pening in other parts of America by word mouth rather than through the mails. Word-of-mouth is the oldest form of communication. But according to the way the mail has been moving lately, after being tied up in the censorship cubby holes in Seat tle the earliest form of communication oral brings us the news almost as fast the mail
 Maybe they'll decide to clamp down on that, too Maybe we'll have to start whispering-just like the Germans and the people of German occupied countries are doing
 The American people don't like to be treated like Nazis They don't like unlimited censorship. There's no reason why we can't win this in the American way.
 There is a great wrong in this dogmatic and totaltarian attitude that has been expressed by too many of our governmental offcias-ths new theory that the government may act without the consent of the people even against the will of the people
 It close to this
 If the people may be disregaded pushed aside, their powers ursurped in time of war-that is ad- hitting the defeat of Democracy--because it shows that it can be done. And it be done in time of peace well as in war.
 If the people see fit through their reprosenta-
 ves in Congress to grant certain rights during war to their leaders, let them do it. But that is the only way that these extra, undemocratic and ml- American powers should be bestowed.

Spiritual rather than physi- cal aspirations will rule through the month which brings to many both joys and sorrows.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: This IS 6 time for completing all important transactions and for planning new commercial policies which will guide in the new year. Greed and selfishness wherever exposed will be causes for stringent reforms in business methods which have placed profits above fair play and human justice Taxes will be bur densome to the average business head and wage earner but they will be accepted with the under standing which makes payment a privilege that promotes victory. Curtailments in many stocks of merchandise will be evident as holiday shopping proceeds.
