stake in the Alcan worth protecting with dollars.
 All of which brings us back to our old contention that there is as yet no such thing as an Alaska Highway. If, as ap- pears probable, the Alcan is not kept in fit condition as a commercial highway, the Prince George to Dawson Creek link, now being built by British Columbia will be of no advantage to this section of the Pacific Northwest. It is being con- structed solely to make the rich Peace River district a part of the commercial empire of western British Columbia and without any particular regard for the fact that 1t connects with the Alcan at Dawson Creek.
 Even should the Alcan be maintained in condition making possible profitable truck operation, the circuitous route fol- lowed will create insurmountable cost obstacles to such operation.
 There is much to be said in favor of a railway up the Rocky Mountain Trench to Fairbanks-hooking up at it's south ern terminus with the Pacific Great East ern. Such project is said to have been scheduled up to the time that Attu and Kiska were cleared of the Japs As Welch says, "The army today is fight ing today's war, not. tomorrow's," and once the Jap menace from the Aleutians seemed removed the railroad project was dropped,
 IL was due to no preparation on our part that Alaska was not isolated from continental United States and the world in the weeks following Pearl Harbor and up to the present writing we have no possible guarantees that such situa- tion may not again arise Peace in the North Pacific is still as much a mirage as Chamberlain's "peace in our time" when he so enthusiastically left Munich
 This section must have direct connec- tion with Alaska if it is to hold it's posi- tiOn of dominance in the market which is destined to the most rapid growth of any in America We must have direct connection as we'll for the sake of mili- tary security for both Alaska and the entire Puget Sound area We should have both the railroad and the "A" route highway, the one for economical freight transport and the other for mak- ing available the worlds finest tourist house of natural wealth

has been seeking a return or
Tammany Hall to power.
LIE Is now organizing to take
IL over the mayoralty, which
includes the police. the district
attorney offices in the counties
and the courts.
Although the municipal elec-
tons are not due until 1945, the
battle for the control OF Tam
many Hall Is now taking place
and has been going on for two
years. Two figures loom large
in this struggle.
THE two figures are Bert
l. Stand, secretary of Tam
many Hall, and Vito Marcan-
tonic, boss of the Communist
American Labor Party, member
of Congress, protector of the
Porto Rican population In New
York and proprietor of Republic
can, Democratic and A. L. p.
club houses in an increasing
number of assembly districts in
Harlem.
Bert Stands power stems
from the paucity of Democratic
leadership and the corruptive
effects of Washington's inter-
ference in local affairs; Mar
cantonio possesses extraordinary
organizing and oratorical abili-
ties. He influences large blocks
of non-English speaking voters.
T'HERE Is no doubt in the
Il minds Of those who have
studied New York municipal
problems that the Grim n a I
racketeers favor this coalition
for the revival of Tammany Hall
and the control of the city.
The recent primaries Of the

Sidney Hillman, the nominal
leader. will disappear from it's
councils long before 1915, his
principal concern being the
fourth term which by then will
be settled one way or the other.
Bert Stand and Marcantonio
will then be in a position TO
take over the city unless its
citizens become alert.

CINCE Aaron Burr founded
~ Tammany Hall. this political
machine has managed to find
ways, often brilliantly devious,
to control the municipal govern
ment OF New York City.
Most dungeons to the citizen
has been the Tammany manipu-
lation of the police. the district
attorney offices and the courts,
for il has been in those areas
that the alliances between poll
tics and the criminal has been
most effective and most dis
graceful.
Big crime changes its fash
ions according TO the times now
engaged in marginal business
activities.
IN THE regimes of AL Capone,
Il Dutch Schultz, Lepke and
Gurrah and Lucky Luciano,
murder was an instrument OF
control. Since Lepke went on
the lam, however. murder has
grown increasingly unpopular
and is no longer used by the
professional criminal, his
method OF control being more
remote.
AS a matter of fact, for a
period of nearly 10 years. or
gained crime has not amounted
TO much in New York.
The racketeering CT i m n l
would like to get back into this
city where the take can be
extraordinarily good, and he
