Seattle Times)

Seattle TlmeS)
 Since the outbreak of war the immense importance of Alaska in the national defense and the national economy has been better understood in the seats of the mighty in Washington D. C. This recognition is evidenced anew in the reesablshment of separate Alaska District of the United States Army Engineers with headquarters in Anchorage. Though the Seattle District Engineer will continue in charge of civil projects the Territory the Anchorage office responsibility for the military installations. This organzational revision partly restores the setup that prevailed from 1921 to 1882 when Alaska had Its district engineer office with headquarters in Juneau Since 1882 the Alaska has been under the immediate jurisdiction of the Seattle District Engineer
 Another pre-war Setup recently has been restored. The Seattle office and that of the Portland District Engineer formerly had been under the higher jurisdic tion of the North Pacific Division whose headquarters were in Portland. Then during the emergency, the two Pacific Northwest districts including Alaska reported to exalted regional headquarters in San Fran cisco Happily that arrangement has been diScon- tinued. The Seattle and Portland districts and the new Alaska office comprise the North Pacific Division with headquarters returned to Portland
 Alaska should benefit by the reestablishment. with limited autonomy, of it's Army Engineer District It is advantageous to have authority the of it's assigned operations not directing them by control Similarly Seattle and Portland should welcome the return of the division offices northward If must be subject to the higher powers however benevolently disposed, must prefer to have them situate the neighborly banks of the Columbia River rather than in the distant pureus of the Golden Gate.

DOLLAR VALUE DECREASES

Action of the Canadian Government in dropping the exchange value of the American dollar by ap- proxmatey nine per cent is the first direct effect of the dsconnuance of OPA foreign currency markets II s dollars which have commanded a 10 per cent premium in trade for Canadian dollars, now will be exchanged at par American bankers, while admitting this is an nfationary indication, do not believe the move will seriously affect the economy of either nation
 For several years the American traveller in Canada has taken advantage of his dollar premium Presenting a S1OO bill in payment for $10 article he has been pleased to note that he received only the article purchased but change of S10O (Canadian) in return. Of course any Canadian currency he wished to ex- change into U S. dollars on is return home brought the nine per cent discount, but for his buying in Canada the premium was effective. While it was a source of some satisfaction to American visitors the exchange was a constant annoyance to many Can- adians
 Bankers in this country will not be surprised, they confide if Mexico immediately follows Canada's example and changes the peso value of the U. $. dollar Today one dollar. American, is worth five pesos-the peso being begged at 20 cents It is probable authorities believe that this be boosted before many days have passed
 Another-and even important-possibility- is shift the value of British pounds Under normal times the pound is worth $487 U s. today it is valued at s4-a considerable percentage advantage for the American currency. How much higher the pound will climb-if indeed it climbs at alls probematical been noted on many American markets already has reached the money market-as witness Canadas dollar-and may continue farther.
 Canada's price stabilization program, of course, is point to be considered. Her regulatory laws have been even more stringent and more drastically en-

GEORGIA FASCISM

Greatest Hitlerian threat to Georgia's political system it Tal- madge's new plan for abolishing state primaries. Most people haven't examined this scheme carefully. On the surface, many are inclined to welcome it as move to take the vote away from the negro.
 The governor-ele plan is to get around the Supreme Court edict that negroes have a right to vote in democratic primaries. To do this he proposes abolishing the state primary Instead of a primary vote supervised and policed by the state, Talmadge plans to run a pri- vate primary policed by his own political organization.
 In other words, the Democratic Party would become a private club in this case, the Talmadge club. He would name his own state Dem- ocratic executive committee. It would make all the rules governing i elections, would specify who was qualified to vote, could abolish all criminal laws governing elections, do away with all rules against fraud
 There would be no control over the ballot boxes, over the counting of the votes, or anything else except the control laid down by Gene Talmadge. Under such a plan the new governor of Georgia plans to have free" elections. In other words, like Hitler, once Talmadge gets into power no oppo- sition party could ever stop him. { No better pattern for Fascism ever was devised in the USA. Already Harman Talmadge, the Governors son, is preparing to run either for the U. s. Senate or to succeed his father.
 And yet Talmadge is elected to office, by a minority vote!
 No wonder lot of people around Atlanta are wearing long faces, wondering when the new governor will start retaliating against his enemies.

 McKellar then asked the married but childless Pepper regarding his experience in raising children. Pep per replied that he had raised no more than has the bachelor Sena- tor from Tennessee.
 50 the Senator from Florida and I are on an equality" Mcclellan came back T feel very proud of the fact that in one matter at least am on a basis of equality with the Senator from Florida"
 However, I am 30 years under 75," replied Pepper, who entered the Senate as one of the youngest members in history.
 When the Senator from Flor ida grows older he will come to the conclusion, I think, that the na- tional government is not good mother to rear children" said Me- Kellar.
 Tt is better than a bachelor shot back Pepper
 It does not often happen that the Appropriations Committee is over ridden by the full Senate, but in this case, government nurseries triumphed over bachelor opposition by the overwhelming vote of AT to Is.

Admission of Failure
Cincinnati Enauirer)


 If, as General MacArthur is reported to contend, it is necessary to occupy Japan for 50 even 100 years that is stringent indictment both of his own administration of Japan and of the worlds capacity for organizing peace and security.
 To exercise absolute control defeated na- tion for several generations is to embrace the philosophy of conquest which inspired the Nazis and the Japanese warords. In such long period, the ruling powers could not avoid using their position for the furtherance of their trade and the exploitation of the defeated people
 Inevitably, should ourselves acquire the meres of an imperiaist state and very possibly lose the quality of tolerance which today sets apart from the Fascist ideologies against which waged suc- cessful
 It not to be expected that the American occupation could remake Japan in the image of American democracy Nor is that responsibility. Our is to deprive the Japanese of the means of waging aggressive war and to give them chance establish democratic institutions if they wish. Our only further is to remain alert-for the 50 or 100 years of which Macarthur speaks-and to remain strong that any renewed threat from Japan could be dealt with promptly and decisively
 This does not call for occupation extending through several generations. And MacArthur's mis- chievous talk of such wild adventure in imperialism cen only reflect doubt his suitability for the i'm mense responsibility his to discharge.

HEART AND HOME

HEART AND HOME
 The stars warn all women to keep thinking in cheerful and construc- tive channels and to resist every temptation to brood on disappoint- ments and other unpleasant ex- periences of the past.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 The West Coast almost certainly will feel the effects of another maritime disturbance within the next few months There are nc indications that it will spread to the East Coast.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Diligent efforts to combat juven- ile delinquency at it's source are foreseen. Minds and hands kept busy at wholesome and interesting activities have neither time nor in- clination to get into trouble.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Pro-Italy sentiment in this coun- try will be a factor in the attitude of the United States toward solu- tion of the Italian problem. Italy probably will fare much better than she deserves in view of her role in the war.
 Persons whose birthdate this is are promised by the stars: A year of interesting employment, good health and harmony in the home. An investment in friendship will pay off in personal satisfaction and some material profit.
 Children born today will be cour- ageous, ambitious and generous. They should be permitted to think for themselves as soon as possible, though they will need parental counsel throughout their early years.

SUPREME COURT GAVE TAIL
 MADGE BREAK

Talmadge's biggest break came when the Supreme Court handed down its ruling against the Jim Crow law in interstate bus traffic. This played right into the hands of the rootin'-tootin' gentleman from Sugar Creek. From that point on he ran his campaign on the theme of white supremacy.
 "A nigger's place is to come in the back door, hold his hat in his hand, and say gee and 'haw' to a horse" proclaimed red-gallused Gene.
 He flayed the negroes as Hitler flayed the Jews. And it was the race issue that really elected him.

TALMADGE MERRY-GO-ROUND

Talmadge boasts of having read "Mein Kampf" seven times.
 He makes no secret of being a student of Hitlerian methods. Dur ing his previous 'reigns" as gov ernor, Talmadge called out the militia IT different times. For a while no one could get into the highway department without mil itary pass. Talmadges chief use of the militia was to oust elected of ficials It made no difference that the state treasurer had been duly elected by the people of Georgia, Talmadge called out the military and forcibly evicted him from of flee When the treasurer locked the vault where state money was kept, Talmadge blew the door off the vault. For a while Talmadge spent the states funds on a cash basis, with no record of expendi- lures. He employed an exracketeer to inspect the books of the uni versailles and if he didn't like them, they were burned. .Talmadge

and students of the university that its very existence to-

Established at time when the Negro, only recently re-

traditional and historic truth With respects to the future
progress of the Negro however his remarks were of greet
and far reaching significance.
To those who look with understanding and anxious
hope to the future of the American Negro of the most
alarming developments in the present day Negro youth,
especially of the class usually found at universities such
as Howard the growing cynicsm and doubt with which
they regard the existence of goodness and right as the

and with which they look upon the existence of God as
