WAR" AND "WASTE"

The Arlington (Washington) Times recently published an article which will be of interest to Alaskans.
 The article mentioned "the Canol oil project up near the North Pole cost $165, ,000; abandoned after producing a mere trickle of oil.
 Next on the listed items came, the Alcan Highway cost $139,0O0,00O proved impractical and scheduled for abandon ment."
 Third expenditure item in the arti- cle read as follows: "The huge Excursion Init transshipment base, Alaska, cost $17, 300, 900; never used"
 The Arlington Times article conclud- etd with totalization of these items and an admonition to Congress: Total, $321, ,500,000, virtually wasted. Is it not about time that our Congress would be- gin to temper the bleak boondoggling winds to the shorn lamb-the taxpayer?"
 It is our opinion that War" and Waste" are synonymous.
 It is also our opinion that if these ex- penditures were instrumental in saving one human life, or part of our nation, they can be considered well-founded

POLITICS AS A PROFESSION
 Washington Post)

That indefagitable researcher into the private opinions of the public, Dr. George Gallup, has come along with some evi- dence which seems to him to indicate that the great majority of the people in the American voting population apparently do not think much of politics as profes- sion" He posed this question to a national sample: If you had son would you like to see him go into politics as life's work when he gets out of school?" Twenty y-one per cent of his respondents said "yes;;" 68 per cent said mo-" and II per cent ex- pressed no opinion. Dr. Gallup's infer ence, we think, is open to opinion.
 We are doubtful, to begin with, that more than one-fifth of the American vot- ing population would say ives" to any particular profession proposed as car eer for their sons. We'd like to see Dr. Gallup try them out on medicine or even journalism. So great is the range of opportunity open to young men in America that no single avenue of endea- vor is likely to claim more than minor ity of adherents. But this could scarcely be interpreted to mean that the public thoVght ill of these professions.
 We suspect, moreover, that what Dr.
The Nome nugget., 1945-05-28

Gallup has discovered, at worst, is sim ply that the semantic overtones of the term politics" carry disagreeable con- notations to the American ear, Suppose that in phrasing his question he had sub- stituted for politics" the word govern ment" or the more euphemistic phrase public service" Might he not, in these circumstances, have received a higher percentage of affirmative answers? It is indisputable that in modern usage "poli- tics" commonly suggests artifice or in- trigue or even skullduggery.

Ask Approval Of Automatic Mail Pickup

Northern Airways have asked the Civil Aeronautics Board for approval to use graphing hooks 10 pick up mail sacks ranging on rope stretched between poles in small interior communities. They also applied permission to run the ~ervice in virtually every com r1uni from Fairbanks down the Yukon river valley and in the Kuskokwim country, including hundred twenty-five places on seven routes from Barrow to Bethel. The Civil Aeronautics board said no automatic pickup is now used in the Territory.

Edward Knight, su- pervisor of Methodist work in Alaska and pastor of the Method ist church in Seward, Alaska, paid Nome a visit last Wednesday and left Thursday noon.
 They are on a survey for their church and met here with the Federated Church board Wednes- day evening. The Methodist Church and Congregational church cooperate in the mainten-. ance of tre Federated church. The Methodist church also maintains the Native Methodist church, known as the Lavinia Wallace Young Mission, and the Maynard Columbus hospital.

STORM BREWS ON
 UNIFIED COMMAND
By JACK STINNET

day now the lid is going to blow off-verbally at least-on the fight for unification of the armed forces under one command.
 Rep Clifton Woodrums post war military policy subcommittee was doing routine job when the thing popped into the open. Sec retary of War Stimson, himself ex- ploded it by out-and-out backing of unification.
 The idea of a unified command of the Army and Navy is nothing new. But when It. Gen. Joseph T. McNarney, deputy chief of staff, followed Secretary Stimson before the committee and laid down a virtual blueprint for it, it proved the thinking along these lines had gone much further than any one realized. Gen. McNarney's blue print was so buried in the story of that day, it got very little atten- ton.
 Briefly, the proposed set-up would call for a chief of staff to the commander-in-chie (the Pres ident. He would be the supreme professional commander of all military forces on land, sea and air. Under him would be three deputy chiefs of staff; one each for the Army, Navy and Air Force. Separate and responsible to all of these would be the Services of Supply. There would be in the cabinet one secretary of military affairs and his staff would do all the civilian work for all three branches.
 The reason why the Navy does not like the idea is rather obvious. Behind the scenes is an even bet ter reason than those in the Navy who have or will testify against it would admit publicly.
 Regardless of what opposing ar guments Navy men put forth, many of them agree privately that unification at some future date is inevitable. Their strategy will be to put it off as long as possible. Even with the greatest fleet afloat today, the Navy has not nearly reached is full srength. This year and next will see it increase and then the Navy will be ready for it's big show in the Pacific.
 By the size of it's personnel and it's tasks ahead in Europe for a year or two to come, the Army would be top dog" if the forces were consolidated now. But with the European war over the Navy's big show in the Pacific is starting and the work of demobilizing our vast Army has started. The size of the Navy will continue to be larger, for it will be many years

Carr Van Andu

The secret of the distinctive
achievement of Carr Van Anda prob
ably lay in the fact that he was at
once a ruthlessly practical person
and a dreamer devoted to a whole
world of interests having little if
any market value anywhere. During
his term as managing editor of the
New York Times he was privileged
to control facilities and materials
with which it was possible for him
to make the kind of newspaper he
wanted-a daily chronicle of events
and opinions so full, so complete, so
accurate, so fair as to be challenge
as well as model for all contempo-
rary publications. He was fortunate
in that regard. With the continued
confidence of Adolph S. Ochs, he
developed between 1904 and 1925 an
institution of public service which,
as he himself declared, is in effect
"a university of the people"
OF course, Mr.. Van Anda had COM
petent assistants. The men with
whom he worked included Charles
R. Miller, John H. Finley, Rollo
Ogden and many other able journal
lists. His own task was the bringing
together of vast array of talent
and production. To it he devoted
himself with passion which was.
bred of love of such work. He was
tireless of mind and body because
his spirit was so intense and un-
faltering. Even when he was des-
perately Ill he stayed at his desk
much of each day and most of each
night. He had been a printer in
his youth, and he never lost the
feel of type.
The Times still covers the en-
tire field of culture Systematically in
line with Mr.. Van Anda's personal
enthusiasm for diverse learning. In
common with Terence, he was con-
cerned about everything human and
like Virgil he wanted to know about
the hidden nature of things. He
studied endlessly and without re-
spect to any arbitrary limitation.
His memory was both phenomenal
and miscellaneous. It followed that
he was an excellent critic. When he
praised member of his staff, the
individual thus commended had rea-
son to believe that he really was
appreciated.
Let it be added that Mr.. Van Anda
always remained the traditional
newspaperman. He permitted no
publicity for himself, granted no
interviews, made few public speeches,

the Free Germany Committee, but espe-
cially In the union Of German off,
GERS, they have men whose names are
known to every German.
The Moscow agreement made and
signed by Messrs. Hull, Molotov and
Eden in october, 1943, contains this
passage:
After the termination Of hostilities
they will not employ their military
forces within the territories of other
states, except for the purposes en-
visaged in this declaration and after
joint consultation
This was, and can only be interpre-
ted to mean-in the framework of the
rest Of the text-that the occupation
should be common task for common
purposes and be commonly ended. But
there is nothing in the agreement which
concerns the German successors. If one
power establishes in its region a real
authority and possible successor, and
the others fail to do so, who will take
over all of Germany when the occupa-
ton ends? And, for that matter on
whom will all the occupying authorities
have to depend to overcome chaos?

Hitler Speaks Aouin

The most interesting aspect of
Hitler's twelfth anniversary speech
is the fact that he chose to speak
at all.
He had almost nothing to offer
his people. Even so recently as a
year ago he could hold out some
hope of victory. The Anglo-Amer-
lean armies of the west were still
in England, and the legend of the
invulnerable Channel wall had not
yet been punctured. Signs of dis
aster were rising in the east, but
even so he could still say truthfully
that the Red Army was far from
the Reich. and he could still promise
that it would never set foot on Ger
man soil. But all of that is behind
him now. The Anglo-American
armies are hammering at the Rhine
and the roar of the guns on the
eastern front must be almost audible
In Berlin. After twelve years of
Hitler, the German people stand
face to face with ruin and the
Fuehrer did not even attempt to
disguise that fact.
To be sure, he called upon every
able-bodied German to fight to the
end, the sick and the weak were
commanded to work with their last
strength, and those who would give
up the fight were assured of an
tgnominous death. Yet Hitler, while
not conceding defeat, could hold
forth no real hope of victory.
He spoke of warding off the "horrid
fate that is now taking shape in the
east, but he added Immediately that
"if this is possible at all, it is only
because a change has taken place
in the German people since 1888"
However grave the crisis at the mo-
nent, he continued, it will, despite
everything, finally be mastered by
our unalterable will, by our readiness
for sacrifice and by our abilities"
No one knows better than the people
of Germany, however, that unalter-
able will, sacrifices and abilities are
but poor substitutes for that superb
ority in guns, planes, tanks and men
to which Hitler could point in earlier
days with pride and confidence.
The undeniable fact is that the
armies of the Reich, by every mill
tary standard, have been beaten.
Even Hitler did not claim otherwise.
Why he chose to speak at all is
something of mystery unless, per-
chance, he felt that the time has
come for a valedictory Certainly,
in any event, his calamitous misrule
of the Reich will not survive its
thirteenth year.

One-Room School

They are dotted here and there
all over the Nation. They are in the
pine woods areas of the South on the
fiat, rich soil of the corn belt, at
four corners on the wind-swept
prairies, in the forest regions of the
Northwest, and among the hills and
valleys of New England. Millions of
men and women now working in in
dustry or Offices of teeming cities
remember the days when they
tramped country roads to the little
cne-room school.
There is something peculiarly
wholesome and democratic about
one-room schools. This is no apology
for poorly-paid teachers or made
quate equipment, but in many of the
little schools boys and girls have
learned life lessons more valuable
than those taught in more elaborate
institutions. Life in one-room
school did not have to teach de-
mocracy; the teacher and the pupils
lived it. The big boys took care of
the fire in the stove at the front of
the room. It was always worth
while reward to go for pail of wa
ter at Farmer Smiths. a few min
utes' walk down the road. The
farmers wife, by some intuition, al
ways knew when to have piece of
hot gingerbread and a glass of cold,
creamy milk, Or it might be a piece
of chocolate cake with thick FROST
ing.
One teacher handled all eight
grades and all subjects The settee
at the front of the room was for
recitation, and it was amazing how
quickly teacher could spot the pu-
pill who had not been studying. Old
er pupils helped the younger ones,
and every one knew every one else's
abilities in all subjects. Midmorn-
Ing and midafternoon recesses were
welcome breaks for a few minutes
of hide-and-seek or blindman's buff
but the real high light was the noon
hour. That gave time for a real
play period. In spring and fall one
could really get workout; in win
ter in the colder climates, there was
sliding and skating.
The one-room schools are gradu-
ally disappearing, but they have
made a valued contribution to
American life. In the Friday after
noon exercises, boys who have be-
come leaders learned to speak; there
was competition on a wholesome
scale and mutual cooperation for
the good of the group. Teachers
who have labored hard and faith
fully have not earned much In ma
