At best, this second attitude represents sabotage
of effort, which plays into the hands of the
Axis through creating national disunity and hamp-
ering the whoehearted cooperation of all groups for
maximum production and victory
At worst, 1t is nothing more nor less than an
American fascist tendency, as Wilson seems to
hint. 1t selfish and shortsighted industralists
and f1nancers, fearful of labor and democracy, who
instigated and financed dangerous men, like Mus
solini and Hitler in their rise to power.
The catastrophe which they brought down on
mankind, and in particular their people, in
Guiding themselves. should be warning enough to
any similarly minded industrialists in this country
who firt with ideas of American form of fascis.
But even short of this extreme, there are dam
gerous tendencies in this direction in the develop
ing political campaign for 1914.
There are too many interests seeking to fish
in muddied waters deliberately encouraging in
fation, playing off group against group, and in
citing other descriptions of the home front, with
the idea that anything going wrong between now
and elections will be blamed the administra-
tion and labor and will help right wing reaction
into the saddle
Against all such tendencies, a strong labor
movement, active politically, will be the greatest
bulwark. The CIO extends the hand of sincere CO.
operation to all elements in national life who
victory the first consideration
1t will work with them for the election of real
Victory Congress which will guard our democracy,
both during and after the war, against all threats
of fascism, whether from within or without.

A Timely Warning

Charles E. Wilson, vice chairman of the War
Production Board, issued a serious warning to
American industralists at the recent convention of
the Natl. Assn of Manufacturers.
81 am deeply alarmed today" he said, "over
the possibility that a right wing reaction may
draw some sections of capital so far away from
our traditions as to imper the entire structure
of American life as we know it,
"This above all Is a time when the industrial
leaders of America owe 1t to their country and to
themselves to exercise temperate judgment-to
practice the arts of comprOmise-tO avoid the
temptation of sacrificing values for temporary
gains and to withhold encouragement from dam
gerous men who preach disunity.'
Two opposing tendencies are evident in the
ranks of American capitalists and their hangers-on
In this critical war period
On the one hand, there are those who share the
patriotic attitude of Wilson, himself leading in
dustriast and president of General Electric until
he took his present job that national unity for Win
ming this war should be the first consideration.
On the other hand, there are those who regard
the war as an opportunity for selfish advantage
to profiteer all they can, to instigate anti-labor
campaigns, to undermine social legislation, to
play politics against the administration and to
prepare for unon-busting drive after the war.

Merry Christmas

This Christmas the thoughts of most Americans
will be with the boys who are far from home fight
ing for their country. Here are some gift sug-
gestions:
(1) Let's give them the right to vote, by de-
handing that Congress reverse the Senate action
and pass the Green-Lucas bill.
90 Let's give them some postwar security, not
only through adequate bonuses but also through
the Wagner Murray -Dngel social security bill and
other measures to assure them jobs and full pro-
lection against all hazards.
(3) Let's give them strong home front, with
prices strictly controlled through subsidies, with a
fair tax system and with every other necessary step
taken to prevent imitation, so their money will be
worth something when they return.
az Let's give them national unity to back them
to the limit behind our Commander-in-C Chief
(5) Let's give them and of the
weapons of war, in uninterrupted fow to speed the
day of their victorious return.
(6) Let's give them country worth returning
to, with democracy preserved, jobs under decent
union conditions, security and opportunity for all.

 It seems that somewhere in the Aleutians 8 young soldier was scheduled to appear at an insanity hearing. To put it bluntly, there were doubts a. bout the boy, who, to purloin a phrase, was suspected of having missed too many boats." He had been at his station over two years.
 When it came to the hearing, one asked him, as is customary, if he had any objections to those appointed to examine him. Did he object to so-and-so? No. To somebody-else? No. To some one-else-or other? No. Then they

 It gives the correct hiero- glyphic shortcut as Alas period. And here we part ways with Webster. We just don't like the thought of getting letters marked:

However, if 1 am correct, all can say is that your reporter could have found some of the incest homes in America, and met some of the most hospitable people in the world, if he had but chosen to do so, instead of hanging" over some Nome 'bar", as evidently was the case. Bars" "Rowidsm", Gamb- ling' and so forth, can be found even in Seattle, according to articles and stories printed in the Seattle Post Intelligencer, and which I have read. So much for that.
 Getting back to the real req son for writing this, l have this to say, which is, to my knowledge there has not been one pound of emergency supplies, that were sent to Nome, wasted, spoiled or other wise destroyed due to hav- ing been frozen. l am in a posi- tion to know what I am talking about in regard to this statement.
 In regard to the acutal ton mage mentioned, that was ship ped to Nome, I cannot comment. 1 do know however that all food stuffs were stored and taken care of. The milk is stored in the basement of building which is not far from where I reside. The pears, butter and other freezables are also in warm stor- age, and have been since the first cold weather set in.
 I will say that I think there was considerable more toilet tis- sue and vinegar and salad oil shipped in than what was really needed. But if an emergency does arise, I do know that it will all eventually be used, and to a good advantage.
 In regard to there being only 400 persons here, that is also a bold-faced lie. Only two weeks ago, attended dance which was held here, and there were over 400 persons attending. As you we'll know, everyone in a town or city does not attend a dance. So there evidently is really more

Saturday evening was a gaia affair of the events of the season
 The Arctic Club dinner dance was fine party and a huge sue cess. Arctic Club members and their friends enjoyed the dinner music, and the varied. almost pro- fessional type of entertainment, which was interspersed through out the evening.
 Other parties will be planned during the winter season. The committee in charge of the party is to be highly commended.

Ii seems to me the staff of the P. I. would investigate some of these stories before publishing them.
 Quite some time ago, your pa- per printed another article that left very bad taste in the mouths of the residents of this community. This article had to deal with the great number of 'Fbars" and saloons" in Nome. Also the 'rowdyism' of the population in Nmeral. If remember correctly, this ar ticle was written by a reparter that spent some time in Nome. In this, l may be mistaken.

t would not lay out in the wea- ther and spoil. II trey did, they are certainly of e different cali Der than the AlaSkans from other parts of the Territory.
 You mention the salmon indus try as being the chie- occapa.ioa Of Nula:o. l have beer n Na- lato, times too numerous e men ton, and l have never seen c case of salmon packed there All the salmon that IS packed there IS enough for the native dogs, and this IS just dried in the sun. Nulato needs came salmon just as much, fl not more, than Seattle. From what ] am able to learn, all salmon canned around Bristol Bay, which is the closest cannery to Nulato, had to be shipped Outside be- fore any of fl could be sold in the Territory.
 You also mention in your aYii- cle that Nome and Seward Penin- sula merchants had already re- ceived years supply of food stuffs. This is true, but do you know the years supply that was received was far below the reg ular shipment, and If the boats with civilian freight are late in arriving here this spring, our food supplies are going to be very low.
 We have al present time all we need. Some things are low, and some articles are sold out. This has been the case in Nome since 1900. Due to the war the merchants and the citizens of Nome have voluntarily agreed to go on ration system. We are eating regularly and will con- tinue to do so for some time 10 come. HoWeer, as l have men toned before, If the merchants do run out'' all of the foodstuffs that were sent in for an emer- gency, and which by some seems to be a joke, will come in very handy, if (and we hope it don't an emergency arises.
 This foodstuff was sent in for an emergency, and if an emer- gency did arise Galena IS one place supplies would be badly needed.
 I could go on with this further, but think I have said enough, so will close, hoping that in the future you will give more con- sideration to articles published by you about this district.
 Very truly yours,

than the 400, which you quoted.
 l would Ike 10 know who these so-called Alaskans are. | one of them had ever been in Nome, and had done any invest gatlng, they would know bet:s- tsan 10 say there is room fot orly 50 .o1s Of warm storage ! personally know of one building, that with g small amount or work coula be made to handle 500 tons. This building is now empty and mas been for some t--ne. Also rem en- Der that all these tons you are quoting are in measurement and not in weight. Il storage space had not have been available, I know for a fact that the resi- dents of Nome would have stored perishables in their own homes and living rooms, rather than to see it spoil, as you are trying to convey.
 Of these emergency supplies that came to Nome, there has al ready been over 50 tons in weight, which included coffee, rolled oats, canned fruit, butter. etc, transported to one outlying town, which received no supply on the last boat owing to the fact that the Boring Sea "froze over" before the last boat could get in there. This emergency food was delivered by Caterpillar tractor train and was a danger ous undertaking at this time of the year. However, with depend able equipment and the seasoned and experienced men, this food stuff arrived at it's destination nj first class shape.
 The joke" as your prominent Seattle-Alaska business man, who did not want his name mention ed, is "joke' only to those who want to make it such. I'll wager that this Seattle-Alaska business man is not from Nome, and is talking about something of which he knows nothing. This ship ment of supplies was not for Nome people alone, but for all of the population of Seward Penin- sula, and Nome was chosen as the distributing point. Consider the number of people on Seward Peninsula and then figure out for yourself how much of a joke this thing is.
 l think that it is slap in the face" to the Nome and Seward Peninsula citizens, also the gov ernment officials and especially. to the men and officers of the U. s. Army, for you to even let them think these supplies spoiled on the Nome beach.
 l was born in Nome, raised in the Territory and I have trav- eled from Point Barrow to Ket- chikan. l have seen 68 and TO de- grees below zero weather and have yet to see brine butter freeze hard enough so that it would burst a barrel. The resi- dents of the north country keep their canned supplies frozen as they do not have the warm stor- age space, and I have yet to learn of any of it being spoil ed''.
 l cannot say or comment on the condition of the supplies that were sent to Galena, but I will wager that the people of that community would see to it, that

Make 1t Plain That We Fight For
Liberty, Equality, Freedom, Mrs.
Bethune Urges In A. u. Address

Together, with the eyes of
white and black Americans fixed
on the common goal of universal
freedom, we will march ahead I'M
til the enemies of democracy at
home and abroad are put to rout.
This time the fight is all one,
and wherever the enemy raises his
head to challenge the true princi-
pies of liberty, equality and brother
hood, be it abroad or at home, we
must strike him with equal vigor.
We cannot win back the Holy Grail
if our armor is besmirChed with in
equality, greed and race prejudice.
And so, we must cry out in the
midst of the struggle itself and
insist that we cleanse these blots
from our shield. In this cause
we can thus be the real conserva-
tors-the conservers of the princi-
pies of our American forefathers .
AS one who is veteran of wars,
I commend you to the source of
courage, faith and power. Draw
heavily on God. He will be your
Guide, your Stay and your Protec-
tor"

ATLANTA, Ca (SNS)-
Threatening clouds late Monday
afternoon gave way to a friendly
sun, allowing the 10th COM
mencement exercises of Atlanta
University to go down in history as
one of the most COlorful ever stag
ed by the celebrated institution.
Gathered there in a special Sec
ton on the green of the spacious
campus to witness the impressive
ceremonies were $50 soldiers and
35 officers of the Army Administra-
ton School, enlisted branch No.
Z. Their commandant, Colonel
Carl A. Nesbitt, occupied the
speakers stand.
The commencement this year had
an attractive setting The stately
library formed an imposing back
ground; green shrubbery flanked
the speakers platform; spreading
trees lined both sides of the at
/ tentive audience. and overhead,
giant airships sliced the clear open
space, reminding all during those
solemn moments that the entire
world is at war,
DR. Mary Mcleod Bethune, proud
and eloquent, talked of the Negro
and his part in the current world
wide conflict as she delivered a
masterful commencement address.
MAKE THE ISSUE PLAIN
eve always have and we shall
again join our blood and sinew and
resources with our brother Ameri-
cans in defense of American ira
ditions. But, this time, we have
an added responsibility. We must
make very plain, at home as we'll
as abroad, just what it is for which
we fight" declared DR.. Bethune.
1--WE must make it ever so plain
that we fight to conserve that
which is noble in the democratic
ideal that we mean liberty and
equality and freedom for all peo-
pie without regard to race, creed
Or color or where they live. We
must make it evident that when we
fight against brutality and lynch
ing in Nazism or Fascism, that
we fight brutality and lynching in
Mississippi or Illinois; that as
we fight for the right of govern
ment of, by. and for the people
of England and Czechoslovakia.
that we fight for it also in Georgia
and Alabama: that as we oppose the
doctrine of the master race and
raciSm Germany and Italy. we
fight 1t equally in Florida and
California, Michigan ana Massa-
chusetts."
DR.. Bethune's APPEARANCE at At
lanta University Monday was two
fold. After delivering the COM
mencement address, she and three
other distinguished Americans were
awarded the honorary degree of

PARISH STREET SATURDAY

NIGHT
Getting around to some of my
favorite Saturday Night Spots,
ran into a crowd of old friends
having their Saturday Night fish
and beer and we got to talking
about Parish Street, and the Ole
Towne when we were boys. After
going over a lot of pleasant re-
minders of boyhood that took our
minds back across the weary waste
of years as the poet says, we got
to talking about the boys CT today
and right away my friends said
that there are no more boys.
At least after they get ten years
old and put on some Of them
long breeches. Then he took his
text on that new crop of CRAP
SHOOTERS that seems about to
take over Parish Street here lately.
It's getting to be an everyday thing
now, but Sunday seems to be the
most favorite day And they
don't care where they play In
front of the church, on the side
walk and in The middle of the
street And they don't care who
sees them, and don't have any re
speCt for themselves or nobody
else. Then We got to talking
about how it used to be when We
we're boys that if you were seen
with a pair of dice, or, if you ever
got in Jail none of the girls
parents would let YOU come to
their home or parties anymore,
but it looks like all that is changed
