BANNING NAZI FILMS

Music Czar Petrillo may be able 10 ban all foreign music from the airways, no matter how inocuous, but the Alien Property Custodian has had hard time deciding what to do about releasing 600 German movies to the American public, some of them containing subtle Nazi propaganda.
 Alien Property Custodian James Markham had decided last summer to sell the German films for public showing, but his plan reused such a storm of protest that he can celled the auction. Whereupon, the Civil Liberties Union stepped in with a protest that refusal to re- lease the films was censorship.
 More recently. Trustbuster Thur man Arnold and Dr. Alexander Meiklejohn, famed educator. ap- peared here to argue for releasing the films Opposing release were Representatives I1Cltll ddlldEdll Douglas of Hollywood, former movie star and Emanuel Celler of New York
 Both Arnold and Meiklejohn maintained that withholding these films was in violation of American principles calling for no censor ship of ideas placed before the American people. Music Czar Pe- trillo, of course, doesn't agree with this principle) In addition, they made the point that there is little or no direct propaganda in the films. As a matter of fact, the films were shown widely in this country during most of the war period because APO was slow in seizing them.
 Representative Douglas, however, maintained that it is. not a ques- tion of censorship but one of sur viyal. It was far less dangerous to show these films during the war

HOROSCOPE 'The stars incline
 but do not compel"
THURSDAY, JANUARY 10

Good and evil aspects are dis 'cerned in the horoscope for today. it is a date for careful decisions and cautious procedures.
 HEART AND HOME
 Under this configuration construc- tive plans should be carried out. Ev- cry member of the family should be conscious, that this will be year of amazing changes, social and econ omic.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Economy will be emphasized by large corporations. In view of wage increases the need of careful man agement will be pressing, astrologers predict. American methods of speed ing manufacture will be improved and miracles of production are fore cast.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 The seers warn of danger from national optimism. Nasty demobiliz- ation of our great armies may bring serious consequences. According to certain signs treachery will make necessary another demonstration of armed strength. The Navy should be kept in full power, if the stars are rightly read.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Inconsistencies in the aims of the members of the United Nations will delay the establishment of machin- cry for lasting peace.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a memorable year. Financial success will encourage TO- mances as well as domestic rejoic- ings.
 Children born on this day will be endowed with extraordinary pow CTS of mind Of great potential ities, they will have strong characters and lofty ambitions.

FDR,s LOYAL FRIEND

A New York woman was at a party in Washington talking with ex-FDR Secretary Steve Early. They discussed people who quickly forgot FDR's help, etc. They also talked about the loyal. ones and named several.
 Let us not forget Walter Win chell," remarked the lady. He still is loyal"
 Yes" said Steve, who should know. He was one of FDR's most loyal friends-and Walter, mind you, had the least reason to be"

Alaska assumed it's greatest role in World War II It was our closest outpost to Japan
 TT WAS THE NORTHERN ROAD TO VICTORY.
 Given fighting chance Alaska will grow even stronger in peacetime.
 World War II brought it transportation system which would have taken years to create in normal times.
 Military agencies including the Naval Air Trans port Service blazed air trails Aaskas distant reaches where located great treasures in natural wealth.
 Not many weeks ago Alaska's air lanes and airports buzzed with war activity Today there is mere tricke of traffic
 From tidewater at Seward the northern Territory has 500-mile railroad line running through the heart of Alaska. War geared the Alaskan Railway to boom time traffic.
 With surplus ships Alaska steamship lines are equipped to move increasing commerce and trade
 Alaska has the transportation but it is standing idle It waits for goods to move"

On the first anniversary of the end Of
World War I the Ku Klux Klan, though
not yet attracting general public atten-

national expansion. On the first ami

the Klan is again in the news but less
for its own activities than for action
aimed to prevent its gaining a new grip
on popular emotions.
The rising cost of living, source of
so much public concern today, gave
even greater cause for lament in 1919.
In the year after the Armistice retail
prices of living essentials rose IA per
cent, compared with a rise Of about 8
per cent from vi day to mid-July of
this year. Coffee had gone up in 1919
from around 30 cents a pound to over
43 cents: butter from 58 to SO cents a
pound; eggs from 81 to 63 cents dozen;
milk from Il to is cents quart; pota-
toes from 48 to 81 cents peck (Pota-
toes were to Jump to 95 cents in 1920,

Back OF the argument Is doubtless a

which Mr.. Molotov denounces but in
which he, like the others, is engaging
Fully third of the states that suffered
aggression from the countries with
whom treaties are to be made are in
the Soviet orbit, and to grant them
veto power would strengthen Soviet in
fiuence. The matter of voting rules is
therefore highly important one
But it is with the argument itself,
and regardless Of its source of motiva-
tion, that we are concerned.
The men sitting at the peace confer
ence are there to guide the future
course OF mankind. On them depend
the happiness, security, peace and de-
velopment in civilization of all people
now living and yet unborn. What they
do will lay the foundations of a stable
international order, in far-sighted and
fore-sighted perspectives of justice and
estimates of developments, and of ac-
ceptable and, therefore, enforceable
law, or it will fail to do so, and precipi,
tate the world into another of those
postwar periods that turn out to be
prewar periods.
Under such a solemn and awesome
responsibility 1t is no test whatever of
the intelligence or validity of any
NATIONS claim or recommendations,
that it suffered either more or less
than others. Such a standard provides
no frame of refer ence whatsoever for
political decisions, except, as is obvious.
in respect OF reparations-and even in
that question not only damages but
the possible repercussions of the means
of payment must be effectively
considered.
The decisions of this conference can
not be aimed only or chiefly at COM
pensating the injured. They have far
loftier object-the prevention of a repeti-
ton of the monstrous injuries and
sufferings Of this age. The conference
must, therefore, address its decisions
to the standard Of historical experience,
to reason. to principle, and, with
imaginative foresight, to decent re-
spect to the opinion of mankind yet
unborn.
Who makes the decisions, influenced
by how much suffering, will not in the
least, affect the ultimate judgment of
history. Every decision will either be
supportable few years from now, in
reason. within the framework of de-
fensible and universally applicable prin-
c1ples, or each of them will be swept
>of the table of history by passionate
and violent future events.
