JUNEAU WOMEN ARE NOW UNIT OF WNAA; BANQUET IS HELD

Chartered last night at a din ner meeting in the Iris Room of the Baranof Hotel, a recently form ed group of local women interest ed in aviation became unit of the Women's National Aeronautical Association.
 The banquet table was beautifully decorated with lighted globe sur mounted by silver airplane with red, white and blue streamers lead ing to a smaller plane at each place. Photographs were taken of the group by Trevor Davis.
 In presenting the charter, Mrs Frank Hermann, local President and a former National Director from Raton, New Mexico, said, i've feel it an honor that the Juneau unit has heen accepted as mem- Der of the national organization, and we are a unique unit in that We are the first Alaskan unit, as well as the first unit outside of the United States. This makes another link between the Territory and the States. which some day will mean a link between our 48 states and the future state of Alaska"
 We accept this charter with the knowledge that we are assuming added responsibilities as individuals and as a club, which will help de- velop our Territory. Aviation means more to the people of Alaska than it does to the citizens of any state in the nation, because of the great CT distances between communities Therefore it is proper that we, the charter members of the Juneau unit should take a wholehearted in- terest and active part in the future development of aviation in the Territory.
 AS aviation is in it's infancy, we have innumerable opportunities to help promote what is fast becoming our main mode of transportation and by our utilization with the na- tional organization we shall be able to render greater service to the Territory through the suggestions and backing of any national plans that may be developed by the Wo- mems Aeronautical Association. Committee chairmen appointed by Mrs. Hermann are as follows membership, Mrs. Thomas Dooley; program, Mrs. Hunt Gruening; fi- nance. Mrs. John Doolin; legisla- tion, Mrs. Godfrey Goss;. publicity Mrs. Marvin Kristan.

AUTO PURCHASERS SAVE $50 UNDER
 LATEST RULING

During August of this year the Attorney Generals office was in- formed that Alaskans purchasing automobiles through local dealers, with arrangements to take deliv- cry at Seattle with the purpose of driving in the States before shipping the car to Alaska, were being subjected to the Washington State Sales Tax of 3 percent. Up- on inquiry, it was found that such practice had not been carried out in such cases until 1941.
 A letter was sent by the Attorn- ey Generals office to the State Tax Commission at Olympia, Washington, protesting said prac- tice, pointing out that only the wholesale phase of such purchases by Alaskans was effectuated at Se- attle, that the tax in question was a consumers retail sales tax, and that, therefore, the subjection of Alaskan purchasers to such tax, when buying through an Alaska dealer, was illegal and should be stopped.
 After long deferred consideration by the Washington State Tax Com mission, a letter was dispatched to the Attorney General at Ju- neau, under date of october 3, 1946, stating that the Alaska view point was correct and that the Washington retail sales tax did not apply in such cases. The Tax Commission also said that only cer- tain Seattle wholesalers had ap- piled the tax to such cases and that they were being notified to cease such practice. It was also stated that the attorney for the Automobile Dealers Association had been notified so that he could in turn take the matter up with all Washington automobile distributors.
 The Tax Commissioners ruling was based upon the presumption that an Alaskakn who obtains de- livery of a car under the circum- stances above stated would be pre- pared to equip said car with an auto license issued by the Terri tory of Alaska This might ap- pear to conflict with the Territor- ial law which requires owners of automobiles to obtain certificates of ownership before or in conjunc- tion with applications for vehicle licenses. However, under the l946 amendment to the vehicle registra- ton law, conditional certificates of ownership may be issued to cover persons who operate automobiles under conditional sales contracts, so M. P Mullaney, Tax Commission CT, has stated that Alaskans who have ordered cars through local dealer and are about to proceed to Seattle to pick up such car, may register their car, with all known data, prior to their trip and

fight it out to see who is right,
but rather that there might be a
way of reconciling these views.
If you don't set about the task
of reconstructing the world in a
spirit of good will and in an hon.
est attempt to respect other view
points than your own, you may be
laying the foundation of new
hostilities.
1t would be good thing if peo-
pie could look at the United Ma
tons not as a miraculous remedy
but merely as a piece of working
political neutrality-suspicious. with
too much scepticism nor with too
much enthusiasm. 1t is the steady
work done by the individual men,
bers which will prove the efficien-
cy of the machine, of whose good
purpose there can be no doubt.
The important test is whether the
members by their contributions to
international cooperation can Gre
ate a genuins spirit of goodwill
and mutual understanding.
An organization as such is of no
value at all unless it is operated
in that spirit.
Still 200, 900 German Intruders In

Denmark has seen quite enough

possible for the people to decide
their future destinies. Until the
rumors and alarms of war and the
collapse of Germany have sub
sided more into the past, it would
neither be fair to the Slesvigers
nor to the Danes to force the
issue.
This is the principle of self-de-
termination which We should like
to see practiced in its pure form,
and it would certainly not appeal
to any Dane to appear to take
advantage of a beaten enemy The
only consideration is to be the in
terests of the people of Slesvig
themselves as expressed by them
selves, coupled with considera-
tions of the future security of the
Danish State.
This is our policy as the Danish
parliament has expressed it. Now
it is up to the controlling powers
in Germany, and in the first place
the United Kingdom, whether they
will accept it.
But the whole future Of Slesvig
depends on a solution of the refu-
gee problem 1t is vital to the sur
vival of the province as a Danish
outpost that the strange, Intruded
Germans from other parts of the
Reich which have more than
doubled the population of South
Slesvig are removed, as soon as
possible, before they get firmly
settled. To achieve this end we
have made an urgent appeal to
our allies. Even though Slesvig is
the least devastated area in Hit
Sr's ruined Germany we feel that
it should be possible to place them
in districts where they do not con-
stitute a direct threat to a neigh
boring country's security, and par
ticularly that it should be consid-
cred that Slesvig is an ancient
Danish province, robbed from us
by Hitler's spiritual forefathers.

Denmark always believed in the
greatest measure of frank inter-
national cooperation as the only
means of securing world-peace.
The organization created at San
Francisco after the last war
should have better opportunities
than any previous international
organization of achieving its OBJ
jects. In the first place it is prac-
tically speaking universal. We
have today the cooperation of the
great powers of the United States
and Soviet Russia, both of which
were missing when the old League
of Nations was started
In the second place l feel that
people are more realistic in their
outlook on world affairs after this
last war than after the first
world-war. There was too much
simple minded propaganda about
the millennium, peace eternal and
all that then.
You can't create peace merely
by setting up an organization. 1t
requires a lot of hard work and a
good deal of resignation. Try to
remember that someone else might
look at things from a different
angle, and that if his and your
views don't coincide, it doesn't
necessarily mean that you have to

ture. This people stood their
ground under changing political
and dynastic conditions,
In 1864 Denmark, singlehanded,
had to fight both Prussia and
Austria. We We're the first victims
of Bismarck's blood and iron pol
icy and we lost the whole of Sizes
Wig to Germany. Then followed a
period of systematic Germaniza-
ton of the whole province. Ger
man officials and workers of all
kinds poured in, and no effort was
spared to make life unbeara BILE for
those who openly remained loyal
to their old country. Many emf
grated overseas, mostly to this
just country, where they found a
new home in the liberty and peace
which they cherished.
BY the generous action of the
allied powers an old. half-hearted
prom Sc which the Germans had
never thought of fulfilling was re-
deemed through a plebiseite held
after the first world war, in 1920
! 1t resulted in the northern part of
Slesvig voting by an overwhelm-
ing majority for a return to Den
mark, but the southern part voted
German. The policy of Germaniza-

Slesvig, and between the two, the
deliberate process of eliminating
the Danish element was continued.
Today Germany lies frustrated
and it appears that the process is
being reversed by the action of the
Slesvig population themselves.
In numbers which could never
have been contemplated before.
the people of Slesvig are now join
ing the Danish political and other
associations, clearly with a view
to ultimately establishing a claim
to be separated from Germany.
We in Denmark have. of course.
been deeply moved by this spon-
taneous appeal from an old DAN
ish population and by their mani
festation of a very real desire to
become Danish by language and
culture again. We do not question
the sincerity of the movement, but
important political groups in Den
mark tend to be sceptical about
the permanency of this reversion
No serious political group in
Denmark would, therefore, at the
present time make a bid for the
incorporation of South Slesvig in
Denmark, but we feel bound to ex-
ercise all the influence that we
can command to secure for the
people of South Slesvig the right
to enjoy entirely free political and
cultural rights and to live as a
separate province within Ger
many, without the traditiQnally
hateful joint administration with
the purely German province of
Holstein.

organization, and we are, of
course, still suffering from the
after-e effects of the shock. We are
supposed to be a hospitable ma
ton but our hospitality has GER
tainly been put to a hard test now
that we have been Saddled with
100000 German refugees for near
ly two years. These people, who
mean an addition to our popula-
ton of per cent, consist of what
we technically call intruded per-
sons to distinguish them from dis
placed persons. They drifted into
Denmark during the. last phases of
the war, and so far only a small
number have been repatriated
owing to the desperate housing
conditions in Germany.
In a way they are to be pitied,
but We have to be quite realistic
about their presence in Denmark
and keep them confined in large
camps. They are, of course, prop
erly fed and looked after, but we
cannot allow them to go out and
work. We have had too much eX-
perience of German infiltration
and fifth column activities. This
attitude is all the more onerous
because we need all the extra la
bour we could get for our work of
reconstruction, and they cost us
no less than 3 per cent of our an
nual national income. At the pres
ent time We have a dawning hope
of an early settlement of the re-
patriation question. And it is, in
deed high time that we were re-
lieved of this burden; our stocks
are exhausted. our soil is in a poor
state owing to lack of fertilizers,
our industrial machinery is obso-
lete or worn out and our housing
shortage is desperate, not to speak
of the war losses to our shipping.
But there is an old song:
"Baer med ct Smil din Byrde,''
Garry your burden with a smile)
which we try to live up to.
On the South Slesvig Question
A much more troublesome ques-
ton in a way is the arrival and
settlement of several hundred
thousand German displaced per-
sons just south of our frontier in
Jutland This is part of the South
Slesvig question, which I shall try
to put into a nutshell, knowing
that you over here are used to
fairly big nuts.
For more than a thousand years
a Danish national state, not ma
tionally different from the coun-
try as it is today, has been the
neighbor of Germany. First the
German empire and the Hanseatic
states, then of rising Prussia
and in modern time of the second
and third Reich.
Throughout all those centuries
the province of Slesvig has beer
the outpost of Nordic and Danish
civilization, taking the brunt OF
the challenge of strong and ex.
pansive German policy and cul

Jewish Leader Asks
Board For Palestine
Trusteeship Plan Would
Replace Mandate Held
By Britain

WASHINGTON, Jan. g. Up -
Joseph Proskauer of New York,
president of the American Jewish
Congress, today urged the Anglo
American Palestine committee to
recommend a United Nations
trusteeship over Palestine.
It would. replace the. League OF
Nations mandate under which
Britain now administers that area.
Proskauer said such trusteeship
should safeguard Jewish settle
ment and immigration and help
Palestine prepare to become self
governing, Independent and demo-
cratic commonwealth.
He declared that such a common
wealth. would safeguard the reli-
gious, political and civil rights of
all elements of the population
Jewish, Arab and Christian.
Proskauer also urged that even
before the committee completes it's
inquiry, it should recommend that
10O,O 900 Jews from Austria and Ger
many be admitted at once into
Palestine as a humanitarian meas
ure.
This, he commended, would not
materially affect the ratio OF
Jewish to Arab population. He add
ed that there now are 100000
Arabs and 100000 Jews.
"What has any Arab to fear from
the immediate immigration OF
these 10O,0O0?" he asked.
He also presented estimates OF
the American Jewish committee
that there are 10000 Jews in Poland
