GORMAN IS TO SPEAK ON
NATIONS PRESERVATION

Declaring that self-preservation
is the chief aim of the United
States participation in the San
Francisco conference on April 25,
Frank j. German is prepared to
discuss the present status of inter
nation security plans in the fifty
third of a series of "Speak Up For
Democracy" talks to be heard over
station KGHL at 10:45 a. m. on
Wednesday, April IL.
Speaking in behalf of the Veter-
n of Foreign Wars, sponsors of
this series of patriotic monthly
broadcasts, Mr.. German will out
line the steps taken to date in an
ticipation of the pending conference
and the detectives to be sought by
the delegates of the A participat-
ing nations.
"The American people should
understand that the San Francisco
conference will have nothing to do
with the settlement of terms be-
tween the Allies and the dictator
nations" explained Mr.. German.
"Like the Dumbarton Oaks con-
ference, the meeting in San Fran
will be concerned exclusively
with a postwar plan to preserve
international peace. Out of the
negotiation of the assembly in Cal
.ifornia, the delegates hope to create
machinery which will settle dis
putes between nations, prevent the
threat of new wars and possess the
power to suppress aggression"
On April IL, speakers represent
ing the Veterans of Foreign Wars
will deliver similar talks on 400
stations located in all sections
If the United States. These month
y radio addresses represent only
me phase of the Americanism pro-
gram of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars. The talks are dedicated to
he purpose of ac%quainting the
average American with current
rational issues.

Yuletide Package To
Soldier Boy Without
Kin Draws Response

In the fall of last year the word
went out to the folks at home to
send some Christmas packages to
the boys in the service who had no
people to remember them. The
military authorities and the Red
Cross wanted all the boys to re-
ceive packages.
Many organizations and individ-
uals responded, among them Mr..
and Mrs. w. w. Grannis. This
week there came a letter from
Frank j. Klein, somewhere in
Luxembourg" dated Feb. 8. 1t said:
"Dear Mr.. and Mrs. Grannis-
Your thoughtful Christmas gift to
some soldier boy has been received
and has been divided among five
or six of us, and it is in the name
of them all that | am writing this
letter to tell you we are most
thankful for your kindness. We
enjoyed every last item the pack
age contained. Thanks so very
much. Although our greeting is a
bit past the date, we all hope that
you had a joyous Christmas and
also wish you good fortune and
health for the rest of this year and
all the New Years to come. May
there be many.
winter has left this particular
of Europe, and everything
indicates that spring is not far dist
mt. All the natives insist that
winter is out, but being from Min
1esota | am inclined to be skeptical.
Bet you are still shoveling the snow
rom the sidewalks there in Mon
ana. Wish we were too. In fact,
my place in the good old U. S. A.
would be most welcome to all Of
Is.
Thanking you again for your
,indness, and wishing you the best
f luck, l am, gratefully, Frank ].

that local churches be encouraged
to organize their memberships full
ly in stewardship.
Deploring the prevalence OF Sab
bath desecration, especially in Flor

rupting Sunday evening church
services, Touchstone observed that
movies and cabarets and other Sec

a series of courses in Bible and
stewardship for church schools,
with daily program in every

an aid to combating the 'evil influ-

CANCER RESEARCH
(Alaska Daily Empire)

Under the chairmanship of Eric A. Johnston, the new executive council of the American Cancer Society is to raise at least $5,000,000, which is to be ex- pended on research. There is need of both this fund and this work Though not enough money is contributed to hos pitals even for the care of those who have been stricken with cancer, still less goes to the laboratories to which we can speak of having conquered an afflic- tion which is now surpassed only by diseases of the heart and circulatory sys- tenn as cause of death.
 What comments the program of the American Society is the purpose and direction that will be given to cancer re- search. The geneticists who concern themselves only with what looks like the inheritance of tumors know nothing of chemistry, and the chemists, who have discovered scores of cancer-producing compounds, think in terms of inanimate matter instead of living bodies The pathologists are largely historians -

 Miss Pearl Bragg, one of the in structors, arrived from Fairbanks Tuesday and will be back at her old job of instructing again. Last summer thirteen students learned to fly and completed their solo flights. Three of them now have their own planes.

experts undoubtedly can offer val uable interpretations but inter- ference is not help.
 Business Men Think
 Business men can understand government figures, inter pret them and apply what they have learned. Figures from the Depart ment of Commerce and the Gen. sus Bureau have, benefited many industries in the past, interpreted by statisticians in the employ of trade associations. If wheat is over produced one year, bread will be cheap. The next year, wheat men can plan more wisely.
 What did the cotton subsidy do except open the gate for rayon to storm the cotton planters mar ket? A fictitious wheat price can only bring that industry some similar calamity. It is bad enough 10 have loyal citizens taxed with out mercy to build a false price structure; worse when you know that the result will be to lift big essential industry off it's economic foundation and permanently crip- pie it.
