Alaskans wish to take advantage of the future. You must spend money to make money. If Alaskans are to profit from a postwar tourist trade they must be making plans invest and to prepare as soon as this is possible
 Some day (soon we hope) all of who love adventurng will be loading up our cars and setting out over the great Alaska Highway for the huntsmans and fsherman's paradise of the North Countree.'
 This is the announcement accompanying the latest in series of books that have been written about Alaska in the last 12 months. It comes from High way to Alaska" by Herbert c. Lanks published by the D. Appleton Century Company. Except for the fact that the highway to Alaska will probably be by boat and plane, the publicity is all right
 No amount of money that could possibly be spent by our Territorial Government, Alaskan cities or private individuals could get the volume of high class advertising that we getting free in the books and articles by nationally known writers. Many of the States that prosper from the tourist business have developed such business through paid advertising So Alaska has the advantage of securing gratis the needed advertising.
 But thing that no writer can do anything about is to tell prospective tourists just where they can enjoy themselves if they decide to spend vacation in Alaska. Alaska-the country and the opportunities it offers-has been pubcized in these recent books and articles not the travelling to and from the Territory We must have facilities with which to entertain the flood of visitors who are sure to hit Alaska when the normal way of life is resumed But this flood will dwinde to trickle unless we do something to counteract.
 We need more and better hotels in most Alaskan towns We need some resorts out of towns. We will need some pretentious expensive, resorts ana many more smaller, family operated lodges and cabins available
 No matter what we have will have flood of tourists as soon vacations and travel are per mssabe To bring these first tourists back again, with their friends, we must make a favorable impression.
 No start has been made yet

MONDAY, ocToBED le

Adverse planetary aspects rule today; there may be suspense re- garding war news. Aviation is under better planetary influences than naval movements.
 HEART AND HOME: Initiative of all sorts is well directed today, which should be a fortunate one for domestic activities and club in- terests. Politics will inspire many women to party services. Seers warn against unkind personal criti- cism of candidates.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: This sea- sons great agriculture record pre- sages the outpouring of food which must go to liberated peoples. Our national prosperity is meant to be shared generously and unselfishly. Farmers are to profit substantially.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Increase of crime will demand attention. in every town and city as the autumn advances. Municipal government must be unflinching in it's attitude toward lawbreakers of every type. Underworld power will grow and politicians will continue to ignore grave dangers
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR Conferences at which the Allies reach agreements regarding post war issues are again forecast Tn the United Nations are peoples of many minds but they will achieve understandings that promise pro- tracted peace, the seers prophecy.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year in which release from war service and war work will enable many of them to return to normal occupations.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be exceedingly clever h. ventive genius and much travel are indicated.

kano attempted to organize a putsch against the conservative tendencies of the Tojo government, the police nipped it in the bud and he committed suicide.
 Later, toward the end of l943, Admiral Tojo made a new attempt to strengthen his grip over the economy of the country. Calling a special session of the Diet, he formed a new Munitions Ministry, headed by himself, and placed all war production under it. This, 1t was hoped, would speed the output of planes, ships and guns.
 Theoretically, this subordinated all business to Army control as far as the planning and direction of war production went. However, Tojos power didn't last long. Japa- nese big business moved in during November, 1943, and forced the addition of several businessmen to the Cabinet. They had the effect of negating the Army's industrial power.

the Cabinet. Before the war, they never were too sympathetic with the Japanese military. And as the war goes increasingly against Japan it is possible that the merchant princes may try to dump the mili- tary entirely and sue for a soft peace They may try to sell the idea that the Allies can come to a safe" agreement with the mod crate" elements in Japan. Though how long it will last is proble- matical

MILITARY AND PRINCES CLASH

MILITARY AND PRINCES CLASH Probably if Tojo had been win ming victories, during this period, he could have won out in his Cabinet struggle But Japan was suffering bitter military reverses. The military were blaming them on Japan's merchant princes, and princes were blaming them on the military.
 Finally Tojo fell.
 Premier Koiso, who replaced him, has made no attempt to control the cartels. His most important ap- pointment, to the all-important post of Munitions Minister, the post which Tojo created for him. self, was that of Ginjiro Fujiwara, Mitsui man.
 AS soon as Fujiwara became Min ister of Munitions, he made it clear that this was major victory for business over the Army and Navy by taking over all Army-Navy ar senals.
 Thus Japan's merchant princes have strengthened their hold over

SUPER CARTELs INSTITUTED

SUPER-CAkIELS INSIll U lED
 The new economic structure set up a series of super-cartels or control associations. Theoretically, these control associations were public organizations embracing an entire industry and responsible to the ministry of Commerce and In dustry. But in reality the executives of big industry were given the key jobs in the control associations, somewhat as $1-a-year men have supervised their own industries in the War Productoin Board.
 For instance, the man appointed to head the iron and steel control association was Hachisaburo Hirao, a Mitsubishi man, formerly presi- dent of the Iron and Steel Manu- lecturers Federation. This is com parable to the Iron and Steel h. stitute in the United States
 The New Economic Structure, created Sept. 1, 1941, worked well during Japan's easy victories at Pearl Harbor and immediately thereafter. But when Japan began to lose in the Solomons, in the fall of 1942, and as Jap merchant ship ping was decimated by U. s. sub marines, the Japanese economic structure became sorely taxed.
 Tojo needed more ships, more planes and more guns and the New Economic Structure was not producing fast enough. So finally at the Diet session of January 1943. he demanded emergency powers to deal with the economic crisis. The big Jap cartels, how ever, bucked

ToJo's CONTROL HAMMERED


 For a time opposition was so tough that Admiral Tojo had to postpone the Diet session and feigned illness" as an excuse. In fact, he was so slow getting control of Jap industry that his middle the-road methods. aroused the re- sentiment of the extreme National Socialists" and the left wing of his military -Fascists. They fumed and fretted. Some of them, headed by Seigo Nakano, who admired Hitler's storm troop methods. urged the standardization of all industry.
 Nakano had been a strong sup porter of Admiral Tojo, but Japa- nese big business was so resentful they persuaded Tojo to withdraw the support of his Imperial Rule Assistance Political Association when Nakano ran for the Diet. De- spite that, Nakano was elected by a large majority.
 But in October, 1943, when Ma

AWVS SUGGE5TS GIFTS
 FOR AIEUTIAN BASES

At the regular monthly meeting
 of the American Womens Voluntary
 Services yesterday afternoon, it was
 decided to postpone the sending of the Christmas gift cartons to the
 distant Aleutian bases until next
 Monday, November 20. The reason | for this is that there have been premises of fruit cake and home
 made candy, as yet. unmade, and also requests for suggestions for gifts.
 The AWVS submits the following ideas as acceptable for presents
 playing cards, games, books, candy, fruit cakes, steel mirrors inexpen- sive at local drug stores) soap darge cakes of pleasant smelling, solid variety can be had for 25 cents a cake or in boxes of four) writing paper, and inexpensive handker- chiefs. Indelible pencils are also suggested as it is difficult for the
 boys to get ink. It is requested that the gifts be done up in Christ mas wrappings.
 A careful distribution of these do- nations will be made through the personnel officers to whom they are sent. The AWVS earnestly asks that townspeople give what they can
 for tl1e boys who may otherwise be entirely neglected on Christmas Day, and may contact Mrs. B. D. Stewart or Mrs. John Mccormick

THAT OLD HOME TOWN

An article, widely enjoyed, on the names of American towns recently appeared in Life" It included the poem on that subject by the late Stephen Vincent Benet.
 In our USO State Register every day new fellows write their names and those of their home towns. The majority, of course, are from the big cities, but by no means all And many are the fascinating names of the towns listed there. The littlest ones, naturally, often are the most striking.
 To a lifelong Fastener, some would be thrilling, if for no other reason, just because they speak of the history C. the frontier or the wilderness. For instance, ROUND UP, Montana, and DEERTRAIL, Colorado, along with MEDICINE LODGE, Kansas, and WAR CREEK, Kentucky. The boy in us thrills also to LONE ROCK, Iowa, and EAGLE ROCK, California, along with WOLF CITY, Texas, and the two WOLF CREEKS, of Montana and Iowa.
 Then there are the simple names that possess a stark beauty in their very simplicity: RIVER, Tennessee and SALTWATER, Minnesota, and PLAINS, Montana, and CLAY, Kentucky.
 If you happen to prefer some thing more on the vanilla -flavored side, you'll find in the book fellows to whom Home, Sweet Home
The Daily Alaska empire., 1944-11-16

means SUGARLAND, Texas, or SWEETWATER or FRUITVALE in the same state, or PEACHLAND, B. O., or BELLFLOWER, California.
 If it's a name celebrated by the lsongwriters you're looking for we've got RED WING, Minnesota
 tthe place where genial Leslie Swanson gets his letters from home) And for you and your gal, there's LOVELAND, Colorado, from whence the Army acquired our good friend, Sgt. Bill Cook.
 Then there are some other town names that appeal to us for no well-definable reason. Nevertheless we do like them, and lot: 1 STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colorado, is one. We understand there isn't a steamboat within hundreds of miles of this land-locked village.) Also. there is PUNXSUTAWNEY Pennsylvania, and THIEF RIVER FALLS, Minnesota. Neither we nor anyone else, surely, could fail to get thrill out of meeting a man hailing from WELCOME, Minne- sota, CT from HOPE, Arkansas, or shaking the hand of somebody from LIBERTY, New York, or LIBERAL, Kansas, or from that town with the heart-gripping title |of YOUNG AMERICA, Minnesota! Personally, we get a kick out of an occasional name just because we love to hear 1t pronounced by la native son. We will have to go far before we'll listen to anything prettier sounding than TULLA- HOMA, Tennessee, spoken affec- tionately in that soft honeysuckle- and-magnolias voice of the popular Sgt. Price Gist. CfAnd that's the only place in the whole world that's got that namep' says Price, with no little emotion.)
 Once in while the name of a
The Daily Alaska empire., 1944-11-16

town endears itself to you simply because of something that hap lpened when you saw it. for the first time Thus it was with CLARKS GROVE, Minnesota ito us there simply wasn't such a place until it suddenly came to light in our book as the home town of a lad named Richard Sorenson, who in June of l943 had dropped into cur USO as just another Marine, but who few months later so distinguished himself by his ex- treme gallantry at Kwajalein as to be decorated with the Congressional Medal of Honor Now we expect never to forget CLARKS GROVE, Minnesota.
 Nor had we ever heard of MON- ROE, Louisiana, until that day in March when a young sailor walked into the club He registered his town along with his name, w. G, Ferguson, and his hobby, baseball, adding with youthful loyalty, Ne vile High" His loyalty didn't stop there, however. His brothers name had never been entered in our registry, quite naturally, since he'd never been in Juneau. But this lad wanted it to be in there, anyway He was proud of that brother of his. Now the brothers name is registered, too. And our USO is mighty pleased to have in that book the entry which reads March II, 1944, Sonny Ferguson killed in action, January IA, 1943 Light heavyweight champion of Louisiana High School boxing, from Neville High, Monroe, Louisiana.

Travelog

Since earliest records, man has been a partaker of alcoholic bev- erages made from fruits or grains, or from other forms of vegetable matter all products of nature. And, it seems that a nations alco- holic beverage is usually made from products which it raises in greatest abundance.
 In the Scandinavian countries, the national beverage IS AQUAvIT, , made from grain or from potatoes. Since the distillation is neutral in taste. it is favored with caraway seeds. It has plenty of power.
 And then, to the East, lies Rus sia, the home of amazingly intre- pid soldiers, and equally intrepid" VODKA. My impression was that it too was made from potatoes, but I find that it is made from wheat, because Russia is, normally, one of the world largest producers of that grain; wheat is cheaper. Their VODKA is usually consumed at a considerably higher proof than the alcoholic beverages of peoples liv- ing to the West of them. The Rus sians can take it. Perhaps the eli mate has something to do with it. It seems, with few exceptions, that the colder the climate, the hotter" the liquor. VODKA is neutral in taste; no fiavoring IS added, and it, like AQUAvIT, is not aged.
 Nearby the United States, we find RUM the prevailing drink in the West Indies. RUM, an alcoholic dis tillate from the fermented juice of sugar cane, or molasses, has a dis tinctive flavor and is aged.
 In the United States, the earliest alcoholic distillation was made from corn or maize. This grain, you will recall, was introduced by the Indians to the English colon ists. And later, when German set tiers came to Pennsylvania, their whiskey was made from surplus Rye. So American whiskies are known as BOURBON, and RYE. Since Canadians live under much the same conditions, their whiskies are quite similar with a leaning to- ward RYE.
 Now, we go South of the Rio Grande, to Mexico, and there we find completely different raw ma .terial used in making Mexico's national alcoholic drink--TEQUILA. It is inexpensive, and possesses a fiery potency. It is as sharp as the tines on a cactus plant, and TEQUILA is actually made from variety of same family as the century plant. This plant bursts into bloom when it is three years old, at which time there is lot of sap in the base This sap is tapped, and 1t ferments in about ten days. The resultant product is called PULQUE. It has a heavy flavor and looks like sour milk. TEQUILA is made by distilling PULQUE.
 And so ends our little travelog. Maybe we will have another one some day soon. We mustn't travel too much these days.
