SEES JUNEAU FOR FIRST TIME BUT
 ONLY IN PICTURE

Writing his sister, Mrs. Jessie McCreary, local manager of the Sears, Roebuck & Company order office, Sgt. L. M Frawley, stationed somewhere in England, said he would have to travel half way around the world to get a look at the place in which she lived.
 This is the way it came about. Frawley stepped into a movie house one night and there flashed on the screen Tale of Two Cities-Juneau and Sitka,' the Fitzpatrick travel ogue filmed several years ago.
 Commenting on the picture, F'rawley said he was impressed with the town as depicted in the movie.

Hull States the Fundamentals

Secretary Hulrs appeal for unity amone
the big FOUR Allied nations for organized
peace is the more timely because of the efforts
beng made to drive wedges between them

country which make political capital of di.
vergent views held in certain capitals.

achieved among the United States, Britain.

table in twenty or twenty-five years, he voices
and opinion that is widely held among the
thinking peoples of the earth. And if such
a catastrophe comes to pass it is obvious that
organized society cannot hope to survive.
Let the American people particularly ponder
seriously the consequences of another world
war This present war will leave the nation
close to the borderland of bankruptcy. To re-
cover from the costs in lives and resources
levied upon the United States in this tremend-
Gus undertaking of saving civilization from
the barbarians will require the most earnest
work and careful thinking and planning the
people are capable of. If they must face
another upheaval before recovery has been
more than started, they will be an easy prey
for any enemy of equal determination and with
equal preparation that has now thrown the
world into war.
We cannot afford to quarrel with any of
the major allied nations now fighting the Axis.
We can, of course, and we must seek to exert
commanding influence upon them, and upon
ourselves, for lasting and secure peace. To
this end we must try to prevent secret coven-
ants, trade seizures, disarrangement of geo.
graphical frontiers which would work a hard
ship upon native populations and other policies
which could prove the cause of future inter-
national quarrels.
Perhaps Mr.. Hull left much unsaid which
we would have liked to hear in his Sunday
broadcast. But at least he summarized clearly
and logically the fundamental requirements
for peace.

Politicians War

The comparative lack of action along the

to the oft-heard phrase, this is a politician s

And why? Possibly because the original in
vasion of the toe Of Italy last September was
dictated not by military necessity but politi-
cal pressure. Long before the first American
soldier set foot on the continent of Europe
proper, yes. even before the Scilian invasion,
armchair generals and field officers, too,
voiced the opinion that should the Allied high
landing troops on the toe and gradually work

occur before Rome was reached. Field COM
manders usually plan then execute h e i r

ton would mean defeat to the enemy.
Not once during the Italian campaign has
the foe been dealt singing defeat such as
have been taking place along the Russian
front and in the Pacific. Why? Because the
geography of Italy prohibits it, Italy is al
most nothing but one range of mountains
after yanother, with rivers between the ranges
of hills making ideal ground for defensive
but not offensive warfare.
Military men long before the first landing
pointed out these facts, but little attention
was paid to them. More attention was given

one being that the defendent Weinstein was
being dealt with harshly because he is Jewish.
The defense unfortunately used that theme
