Dewey of New York as its presidential nominee ito restore the presidency of the United States to the American peo- pie to make the American peo- pie once more masters of their own household"
 Placing Dewey's name in nomina- ton for the presidential candidacy, Griswold termed him the "spokes- man of the future" backed by the American people who, he said, want Republivan victory in November flor the good of the nation.'
 This man will win because he is faced in the directon the American people want to go," Griswold told the delegates and the first capacity audience the stadium has housed since the convention began Monday.
 "The direction of the war is al- ready set and will not be changed by the coming election" he con- tinued. "But the coming election will change our direction here at home"
 He recalled Dewey's racket busting" record, and took note of his vote-pulling powers in New York, state which for more than 20 years had been under a Demo- cratic administration. He also pointed out that in the recent Me- braska primary 10000 persons made Dewey Q write-in candidate over Wendell L. Willkie and Lieut.. Cmdr. Harold E. Stassen, whose names were on the ballot.
 while federal taxes were noun ing, the taxpayers of New York were saved $45.000,00O in state taxes
 Through wise handling of the public's money, his administration has built up surplus of $l64, ,000. .
 Working together as a team, he and the legislature of his state have provided a model program for the security and rehabilitation of war veterans |. as a result, New York state now has government that is all-out in war and prepared to be all-out in peace"
 Obviously referring to President Roosevelt, Griswold concluded:
 '"The past will have its spokes- man in this campaign. I give you. as the nominee Of the Republican party, the spokesman of the future. Thomas E. Dewey"

COMMUNICATION
Editor, Daily Alaska Empire, Dear

Editor, Daily Alaska Empire, Dear Sir.
 We have read with a great deal of interest the long letter from MT. Curtis G. Shattack, in which he describes at great length some of the points of the Council Manager form of government. A great deal of interesting data was brought into the light of day by this letter which will, undoubt- edly, commence great many peo- pie to thinking about this form of civic government. Getting people to thinking about their civic gov ernment is exactly what the Civic Forum was trying to do.
 Unfortunately, typographical error in the letter published on July fourteenth from the Juneau Civic Forum caused Mir Shattuck to write his letter The addition of one single letter-the letter "t"-is' responsible for bringing out more facts about the Council Manager plan of government than all the. conversation hithertofore indulged in. Our letter should have read, An engineer is highly trained for HIS work, banks are operated by. trained personnel, an insurance man is familiar with all the phases of his work and so on ad infinitum. In the printing, the. additional "t" made the line read An engineer is highly trained for THIS work" etc, thereby changing the meaning of the sentence.
 (Signed) JUNEAU CIVIC FORUM,
 BROOKS HANFORD,
 Chairman.

shores. The Japs may retreat to China, make it their last-stand battle-ground The war lords don't like the prospect.
 The real people of China can do a great job of fighting-when they are fed Under the war lords, Chi nese troops are never fed, must forage and loot for themselves. When organized and fed, the Chi nese can go to town. Gen Claire Chennau.t has done the best job of organizing them Actually the war lords are no more repre- sentative of the real people of China than Madame Chiang is. Both represent opposite poles-one of the medieval East, the other the modern West Chief problem of the U. s. A. is to reach the real people of China. They are great people when you can get to them, but the system under which they live takes great patience, sympathy and understanding.
 Wallace got down to the soil in China and Siberia. During a days lay-over in a Siberian town, he helped Russian farmers in their gardens. Later, in China, he did the same for Chinese farmers In- tensive Chinese cultivation fascin- ated him. Not an inch was wasted Wallace took with him three motion pictures on wartime farm ing in the corn belt, cattle raising and agricultural planning. Also, he took 36 agricultural year books

CANADIAN WAR LOANS

Our Canadian friends have made an impressive record in all phases of their all-out war effort particularly in the hold -the-line program An im- portant feature of their program has been the large volume of war bonds sold to individuals, with the consequent need only minor recourse for funds from the banking system In it's Sixth Victory Loan, inaugurated in April, the Canadians sold about Sl- 100000 in bonds Approximately 46 per cent of these sales were to individuals Compare this with less than one-third sold to individuals in last bond drive and with the objective of 37 per cent in the current drive The Canadian record is even favorable than the above figures indicate because they exclude sales to special names-that is, to those buying in excess of $25 00O-from the total of sales to ndi- yiduals such sales included in totals However we sell many bonds under the payroll deduction plan than do the Canadians

WEDNEsDAY. JuLY 1a


 This is not an important day in planetary direction. Fairly good news from war fronts is indicated HEART AND HOME: Prepara- ton for winter food needs should be made on a large scale this sum- mer. The autumn is to bring re- strictions that make imperative |greater stores of canned fruits and vegetables than in the past. Pre- election ration laxities may be tenn porary.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Real es- tate buying, which will be brisk, especially in the south and west, should not be speculative, astrolo- gers warn. Investments that gamble on population changes should be avoided.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Foreseeing the war, astrologers have been preaching thrift for two decades and now they emphasize the need of training in home economies for all school girls. Waste and ex- travagance in cooking by young wives of servicemen prove lack of training for domestic duties.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Poland should benefit this month when Jupiter is on the ascendant at Warsaw but the unhappy nation has the portent of slow and diffi- cult restoration to anything like unity and independence. Stalin is to prove his friendliness while he looks out for Russia's best inter- ests.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of pro- gress but there will be many novel experiences. Romance is foretold for many.
 i Children born on this day prob ably will be dependable and hard working. They will be affectionate and home-loving.

missions paid for the sale of bonds to individuals on a house to- house basis The basic commission is five-eighths of l per cent. These commissions are pooled in an equalization fund, so that a somewhat higher amount be paid to those who sell in less lucrative territories while relatively smaller amount paid to those in the better territories commensurate with their effors Partly result of this practice, sales individuals in Canada excluding sales to the special names estimated have been 13 per cent of their national income last year, while in this country the total only 10 per cent, including the larger sales.
 Liquid savings by individuals were estimated to equal about 25 per cent of national income last year If only half of this total had been invested in war bonds, we would have approxmated the 13 per cent figure attained in Canada Is it too much to ask that we invest at least our current savings in war bonds when fighting men are giving their all so that those of home will have peace and security?

American For time, China was run by the students who had studied in the U. s. A. as a result of the Boxer indemnity educational fund That was when U. S. Chinese friendship was at its peak. But now, the East is winning over the West, and the war lords are reverting China to type.
 Madame Chiany is having hard sledding. One of her great diffi- culties is that she is childless. As long as she bears the Generalissimo no progeny, popular sentiment IS with the Generalissimo when he goes to another wife Madame Chiang is his third wife and, for a time, Chiang went back to No. 2. That was one reason she came to the U. $. A. Now there is talk of a l6-year-old girl in the sum- mer palace, the niece of a war lord who wants to get Chiang away from Madage Ciang and her Am- erican ideas.
 American munitions were for a time the chief weapon of Madame Chiang. Through her friendships in Washington, it was expected she could deliver the goods So the war lords tolerated her :" For while she did deliver. Then we woke up to the fact that U $. weapons were being used not against the Japs, but against the Chinese Army doing most of the fighting against the Japs This is the so-called Communist Army in new China. Chiang calls them Communists because he doesn't like them. Actually they have a we'll knit fighting force of over quar- ter million and for time really fought Japan. Then they had to stop fighting Japs and protect themselves from Chiang's own war lords, armed with U. s. guns Wiser, we now send no more guns but instead, ladies perfume and silk stockings for the war lords concubines.
 Not nice, but true is that Chinese war lords are getting concerned over Allied victories in the Pacific The war is getting close to them Many war lords, educated at Japan's West Point, would prefer first to fight the Russians, second the British, third the U. S. A, least of all the Japs When Wen dell Willkie was in China, he had difficulty getting to the war front Finally, he told the Generalissimc that he had visited the war fronts in North Africa and Russia, in- sisted on seeing the Chinese front So the Generalissimo put him or his famous private train, the Blue Express, sent him to the front Last lap of the trip on a little hand car He was greeted with thousands of little paper American flags which Chinese troops got from nowhere. On the Jap side was a big sign, Welcome, Willkie' 7" Both sides had hung their laundry out. There wasn't much fighting But now the U. S Navy edges closer, closer to Chinese
