Every mayor, he pointed out,
needs six months to become ac-
quainted with his duties before ac-
complishing anything. City admin

Stewart spoke Of the schools built
in juneau under projects originating
during his term of office and also
the salt water fire fighting system
both brought about by downing OPP
position with truth and education.
The argument that city manager
might be an outsider" is not VALID,
he said. He stated that any bust
ness in need of expert technical
hely used experts not available
locally.
Furthermore, he said, there is no
Interior motive in the plan which is
endorsed by such men as Charles
Evan Hughes. The argument that
the soldiers at the front want us to
wait until they come home is not
valid, he said, adding that these
men expect us to improve and take
care of things at home while they're
gone.

FORMER MAYOR

B. D. Stewart, Territorial Com
missioner of Mines and former May
or of Juneau, spoke. urging adoption

eminent at meeting of the Juneau

Stewart was introduced by Charles

and yelled, come and get it," LIN
Stewart hailed the city manager
movement as interesting and en-
couraging progressive thought, de-
sire to think ahead and plan for
the benefit of the community. He
said that Juneau's future is as
sured and Juneauites have every
reason to feel confident they can
go ahead.
He pointed out various postwar
plans including schemes for great
er tourist industry, better transpor-
tation as witnessed by recent APP
plications for air routes serving
Juneau, the proposed car ferry sys-
tenn which originated in Juneau,
plans for establishing a pulp paper
industry in Southeast Alaska by the
Forest Service. He said the future
of mining for gold and other min
erals in the immediate vicinity is
good and mining will be resumed
with a vigor.
The city, he said, must be pre-
pared to take advantage OF oppor-
tunities as they arise. He called

Recruiting Drive Ordered
To Man Alabama Mines

BY the Associated Press.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Jan. 26.-
Declaring the shortage Of coal
miners in Alabama has reached the
critical stage" James A. Downey,
tr., area director for the War Man
power Commission, today ordered an
intensive recruitment drive for $500
additional miners. ...
Mr.. Downey said the supply of
coal above ground is sufficient for
only 10 days, and that some rail-
roads in this area are operating with
only fve-day supply.
"It is imperative to supplement
the dangerously low stock piles" Mr..
Downey said. These stock piles are
being depleted at rate which
threatens to slow down the war
effort and severely restrict civilian
use of coal"
Approximately two-thirds of Ala
bama coal is used by industrial
plants, principally by the iron and
steel manufacturers.

4 Of complete

tary surrender David Lawrence.
to the Allied command is to be well
coined, but any initiative from the
United States or Britain or Russia
that looks toward discussion OF
terms of peace would imply to all
the world that the German Armies
had not been defeated and were
merely arranging an arm1stice
based on a draw or stalemate.
The phrase negotiated peace
can only mean that surrender is
conditioned on terms relating to
postwar settlement. This was not
tolerated in 1918 and cannot be
tolerated now. The procedure fol-
lowed In the World War was to de-
mand surrender and then, after the
armistice, the terms of peace were
written by the Allies and handed
to the Germans to sign on the DOT
ted line. The German representa-
tives were not present at the Paris
Peace Conference and were called
in at Versailles only when the
treaty was finished Such changes
in the document as were mace az
Versailles were minor in nature.
The only kind of peace that the
Allied people want to see at the end
Of this war is dictated peace,
which mlans a peace settlement
that Is within the discretion OF the
Allied representatives and only a1ter
military surrender OF Germany Is
an accomplished fact.
The misguided effort OF Peace
Now" Is that it gives the German
rulers grounds for fighting on ana
holding on, their theory being that
the Allies would negotiate terms
of peace. One reason why TINS Is
inpracticable is that the United
Nations cannot discuss peace with
the representatives Of Hitler or MS
regime at any time, and the flrst
condition is that the German
armies surrender and hand over
Hitler and his staff to the CUSTODY
of the Allies, after which terms OF
peace for the German people Will
be fixed.
II would certainly be timely II
the Allies announced that the ar
rest and delivery Of the principal
Hitlerites to the Allies must De
made before any surrender by Ger
MANY will be accepted. Mussolini
slipped out of Allied hands because
this procedure was not followed
last summer when the high com
mand Of italy was trying to caplt-
ulate.
The mischief In the peace Now"
activities is just the same as that
which "Pravda," the Russian news
paper, sensed last week-namely,
that rumors of peace must be
scotched at once and the wnole
world notified that. they are base
less. While the "Pravda" incident
NAV have caused some dismay at
the time, It has served to make
clear that there are no separate
peace" maneuvers going on any
where. This was one way to con-
vey to the German people that
they need not put their hopes IN
division Of the Allies on the diplo-
matte front.
Talk Of peace gets to the Allied
soldiers and gives them false hopes
of early return home and tends to
diminish their interest in further
fighting. 1t is a weapon which Is
worth more to the enemy than any
other. That's why it is vital to
squelch any Peace Now" activities
at their very inception.

tial rains and deep mud begging

but Canadian troops, pushing
forward a mile, captured ST

Germans from underground shelters
in the advance into st. Martin after
selzlng st. Andre-sur-O on the
east bank of the Orne River.
Tank Counterattack Beaten OFF.
A German tank counterattack was
beaten back near st. Martin.
British and Canadian infantry
had taken over the brunt of the
fighting from Gen. Sir Bernard L.
Montgomery armored units.
The deepest penetration of the
German defenses took place directly
east of Caen, where British Tommies
by-passing Troarn to the north drove
to within 1000 yards of the village
of Bures on the Dives River slightly
more than miles from Caen. The
enemy has flooded the river to block
the coastal route to the great port
of LIE Havre.
1t was apparent that Gen. Mont.
gomerys advance, while making
gains, had failed thus far at least
in the main objective of bringing
the main German Army to battle.
