HISTORY OF WARFARE

I have been thinking, for in- stance, about the history of war. In the old days, wars didn't hurt so many people. Knights in armor had their tilting jousts. Fair ladies applauded Those who could afford it sailed off to the Crusades. Wars were more localized, affected fewer people, and that was one reason they dragged on for years without people rising up and revolting.
 Then, gradually, wars got so they affected almost every man, woman and child. Actually, we in this

IGNORANT ALASKANS

Just why Alaskans should be any ignorant than the average voter the States remains puzzle to us-but that's the opinion of two of the congress- men who recently visited Alasla one of the annual pleasure trips.
 Congressmen Jed Johnson and John Rooney say Aaskans are too ignortant to know how to govern themselves-that we should learn little more about "economics and fair government before be allowed the prerogatves of self-government
 Just what these two gentlemen base their extra ordinary decision we are at loss to state They certainly knew nothing about Alaska when they they did then
 Rooney says Alaskans aren't ready for statehood when they allow the fishing industry to take $60000 900 year from the Territory and returns only s1- 100000"
 We venture to say that these figures are little far-fetched.
 The opinions expressed have familiar ring. They heard during the last session of the Legislature more than and their reappearance at this time leads us to wonder if the good friends of Alaska who publicly clamoring for statehood and home rule for Alaska aren't secretly whispering into the of the visiting congressman statements designed to bring about the opposite effect.
 However, that aside it to a sad con- mentary upon the type of serving in the Con- gress of the United States that any congressman should publicly state that any group of Americans are unfit to govern themselves.

BRASS HATS PLAN WAR

Already scientific planners for the next war had been working se- cretly on such weird things as bases on the moon from which they could launch huge rocket bombs on any nation; plans which would seem ludicrous and laughable were it not for the deadly achieve ments of science in other direc- tions.
 Already, Gen. William Donovan and his Office of Strategic Ser vices has been planning a world wide espionage network to operate in peacetime by which we could spy on other countries.
 Already Adm. Ernest King had drawn plans for 73 warships not to be completed until three or four years after the war, which peace aspiring Jimmy Byrnes knocked out of the budget because they were not needed and obviously were aimed at future use against only one country-Russia.
 Already the War Department had been spurring a campaign for

 Benefic aspects rule today which is fortunate alike for employers and employees. The President of the United States continues under stimulating and promising plane tary influences.
 Heart And Home
 This is a rarely fortunate sway for women. Girls will find it me- morable for romance. Under this configuration summer flirtations will become serious. Stage and screen offer unusual opportunities for talent. The stars promise fame for Leo actresses.
 Business Affairs
 Greed for easy money will pre- gail in the autumn when many speculative and gambling devices will lure the public. Making the world safe for democracy should begin at home.
 National Issues
 Care of children now will be- come of great importance to our nation, which properly appraises the value of wise education and guidance of rising generations. War babies are believed to be endowed with unusual talents and strong characters, so the United States should spend generously in the scientific training of hearts as well as minds, the seers declare.
 International Affairs
 The tremendous price paid in lives and dollars for victory obli- gates United States to provide the most progressive and enlightened nome government. According to as- trology, period of amazing achievement is to last for at least two score years.

peacetime conscription, never be- fore adopted in the U.S.A.
 In other words, our top planners were largely ignoring the hopes and ideals for which this war was fought. Already, they were plung ing ahead toward the abyss of the next world war, blindly oblivious to the awful state in store for them. They were plunging ahead just as if another war were a fore gone conclusion-until August 5, and the atom bomb over Hiro- shima.
 Now a cold chill has crept over the world, even the hard-boiled war planners, though not over all of them. The day after the results of atomic bombing became known, the New York News came out with an editorial urging that unless Can- ada share with us her uranium deposits, we should forcibly take them.

GOOD NEIGHBORLINESS PAYS

This is the Kino of jingoism on which war feeds. And, if there is one thing we have learned in this country, it is that being a good neighbor pays dividends. We have only to look at our vast borders with Canada and Mexico, minus a single armed. guard, or at the thousands of people committing every day across the Rio Grande or the Niagara or the Detroit River, to see that we of North America have led the world in neighborli- ness. A-.d when you remember that our ,-ade with Canada, Cuba and Mexiao is greater than with any other three countries, obviously good neighborliness pays.
 Except for off intervals, wheni we landed Marines in Nicaragua or Haiti, we have not tried to lord it over other people. We have tried on the whole to respect the rights of others We did not dam off all the water in the Colorado River from Mexico, but divided it peace ably by treaty. We have made plenty oi mistakes, but perhaps we have come nearer putting Chris tianity to work on an international basis than other major powers. But even so, we have not kept out of war.
 So the problem of preventing future wars is very deep and very difficult. It goes much deeper than the United Nations, which, though a start in the right direction, has very severe limitations. It gets down to education, to the churches,

Young Elroy Ninnis, Jr, who was taken to St. Ann's Hospital last week for treatment of an eye injury, which he suffered when a spike on which another was hammering, flew up and cut the eye, has gone to Seattle with his parents, MT. and Mrs. Elroy Ninnis, for a further checkup.
 The attending physician reported the eye was healing satisfactorily and that there would be no serious results. MT. and Mrs. Ninnis had left for Anchorage on a vacation trip, but returned to Juneau inn mediately upon being notified of the accident to their son.

country were the first to practice total warfare. When Sherman marched through Georgia for the express purpose of destroying the ability of the South to support it's armies, he was carrying out exactly the same principle as the atomic bomb. It took him longer to root out the agriculture, the industry, the economic structure of the South, but the objective was just the sane.
 Then, in World War I, and now in World War II, we went on to bigger, better, and more fiendish instruments for spreading destruc- ton, until today the civilian popu- lation suffers most of all. No longer, as in days of old when knights were bold, do the men who make war go out and fight the wars which they create. They stay behind in bomb-proof shelters with their charts and their telephones, while vast conscript armies of men who have no choice in the matter, plus their women and children, who starve and are bombed out behind hem, do the fighting and the dying.
 So now, as of August 5, the day w dropped our first atomic bomb on Japan, we have reached the point in warfare which was abso- lutely inevitable, the point at which either we stop going to war or mankind reaches its own end.

The W ashinqton Merry -Go- Round
By DREW PEARSON It. Col Robert s. Allen now on active
 service with the ArnyD

GAITHERSBURG, MS., = In a weak moment this writer yielded to the importuning of the wife, and after five straight years of pounding out column every day, Sunday, Fourth of July, Christmas, and St. Swithin's Day, decided to take a vacation.
 But what a time to take vaca- tion
 Out of all the days in the year, President Truman chose the first day of this alleged vacation to an- nounce the dropping of the first atomic bomb on Japan.
 Then Joe Stalin, after keeping the world waiting three years, chose the exact moment when this ex- typewriter-pounder was yielding a pitchfork in Maryland hayfield to unleash 100000 troops along the Siberian border.
 Next came the 0econd atomic bomb, the Japanese surrender, and so on-until I have concluded that I was right after all, and l never should have taken a vacation. But being only Is miles from Washing ton. I am going back to work-at least intermittently.
 However, there is one advantage to being out in the Maryland Countryside where the telephone doesn't ring every five minutes and folks are interested in other things besides what change President Truman will make next in his Cabinet. You can get clearer per spectiye of today's tremendous events and what they mean to future mankind.
