ambassador to London, Joe Ken nedy, to advise Prime Minister Chamberlain that the only thing Hitler understood was hard-boiled tactics and that Britain should call an abrupt halt to appease- ment.
 But, while Roosevelt was map ping out a tough program against Hitler, word leaked out to the state department that the British were still continuing appeasement tactics.
 British bankers engaged in a scramble for business in Sudet- enland after the Germans marched in. Sir Auckland Geddes, head of the Rio Tinto mines in Spain, sub sidized Franco, who in turn sent money back to Germany. And whenever the state department took stern hand with Hitler, it was discovered that Sir John Si- mon or other Troy members of the British cabinet later called on the Nazis to tell them that Britain was net in sympathy with Ameri- can announcements.

NOlIClHldtl r-lIquleIl
 Passage of the Knutson tax reduction bill by the House and by spectacular vote of 297 to l20 seems to insure some reduction of income taxes at this session Congress irrespective of President Tru- mans veto action Not only did the Republicans in the House hold their ranks soidly-with just Min nesotan dissenting-but they picked up 63 Demo- cratic votes which is onethrd of the total of Demo- crats in the House.
 Such a break in the ranks of Democrats can be explained only by reference to the calendar This is presidential election year and also year ill which the entire House and one-third of the Senate to be elected The Democrats voted rather sodly to re- commit the bll-equvaent to indefinite posponement of action it. But when that failed, third of them were unwilling to be recorded against the one tax reduction bill to reach showdown vote.
 This does not mean that Congress will wind up by slashng $6 500 0OO off the governments revenues as the Knutson bill provides. The Senate will have voice. and it seems certain that it will trim the bill materially Even if the Senate cuts the measure back to the dimensions of $4O00000000 reduction of the income tax burden, the President still be expected to veto it. But there is chance for Congress to pass such a measure over the veto. There does not seem such possibility of enactment of the Knutson bill approved by the House
 Although everyone wants cax relief it would be unwise in the extreme to make any such tax cut as Representative Knutsons measure provides. That bill probably would wipe out all the anticipated surplus, leave nothing for debt retirement and quite possibly compel the Treasury to begin once more the infla- tionary process of deficit spending
 This is just about the most inflationary of all practices. If the government spends more than it takes in revenue it is simply pouring fuel on the fires of nflation And in doing, it is robbing the people who hold insurance policies savings accounts CT annuities, and the people who must live on fixed incomes such pensions. Such policy also augments the boom, and thus ordains more serious bust when the boom is
 In strict economic logic there should not be any reduction this year. But allowance must be made the fact that governments act from political mo- tives not solely from economic logic Some re- strained tax reduction be justified, perhaps If so it ough be than half of the staggering slash provided in the Knutson bill.
 The political gestures have been made in the House It now becomes the unpalatable task of the Senate to protect the national interest by udicious revision of the action of the lower chamber.

POOR ALASKA

For about 40 years now Aaskans have been trying 70 establish a industrial payroll for southeast Alaska in the form of utilization of our rotehig forests for producing pulp and paper
 Always one obstacle or another seems to stand in the way We are either fighting unfaVorable eco homie conditions, unfavorable and stubborn puphc officials or crackpot lawyers who spend their time dreaming up and selling one group of our citizens the idea they can get lot for nothing simply by foi- lowing their advice.
 After World War when it looked as if some of the large paper companies would be interested Tn expanding their enterprises to Alaska 1t was uaVof able economic conditions that spelled doom for such an industry.
 In 1914 after some of the large companies had expressed a new interest in Alaskan pulp forests It was former Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes who fouled things up by selling the Indians ot ths area theory that they had right to claim prac- ticaly any land their ancestors may have roamed ln the far-gone past-the aboriginal rights theory
 It doesn't seem to make any difference that to date the Indian attorneys the Interior Department solicitors have failed to win single case Tn court based upon this theory.
 They continue to block the development of ths area by pressing their unproven claims and the lh- dians continue to allow themselves to be used in a move to halt the coming of this great new industry that would give the Indians the employment they will soon find difficult find if the fishing seasons continue to grow poorer and poorer
 AS we have stated before the Indians are eN- hibting a selfish attitude in their continued attempts 10 block the utilization of our forests ana they are also hurting themselves in the long run
 They are full citizens of the United States ana have all of the privileges of citizenship enjoyed by all os the neople of Alaska. Indeed they enjoy more ,r;,eoes than do the other citizens in the form of liberal benefits in the form of free education ana medical care provided by Uncle Sam for many years.

F.D.R. GOT MAD

At one time British double -cross- ing became so fragrant that Roose- welt sent an ultimatum to Prime Minister Chamberlain, warning that if it continued, Great Britain, as far as the United States was concerned, could operate on her own.
 What aroused Roosevelt was the knowledge that British banks were actually lending money to Ger many for rearmament in the spring of l939-just a few months before Hitlets army invaded Poland. Also it was learned that the Federation Of British Industries was negotiat- ing a secret pact with Germany, in violation of the Anglo-Ameri- can trade agreement
 Following the 1888 Munich con- ference, Roosevelt instructed his

The Indians are proud of the fact that they are full citizens entitled to equal rights the law entitled to vote and in our legislative bodies
 Yet by pressing their aboriginal rights claims they demand special privileges which other citizens do not have.
 If the Indians wish to be treated as full citizens then they should not expect to have any more right to claim our forest lands than the whites
 The courts have stated this clearly in several de- csons relating to Alaska.
 Yet the Indians continue to seek exclusive reserva- tions for their alone denied to the whites And they continue to expect special financial support for education and health which the white citizens do not have
 They aided and abetted by the Interior De- partment, their attorneys and present Delegate to Congress.
 Meanwhile. all progress is halted in Alaska For tunately unfortunately Alaska has become "stra- tegic" in the military and the Federal govern has found it necessary to spend great deal of money to build up defenses.

% to war against Russia. The Germans. most methodical people in the world. took careful notes on these conversations, and at least part of these records were captur- ed by the Red army when they took Berlin.
 If the full documents are pub lished they will probably show the British up in much worse appeas- ing light than the American pub lie ever realized.
 For few Americans outside of the late Franklin Roosevelt and top-bracket U. s. diplomats ever dreamed how far the British went in appeasing Hitler in l938-l939. That was the era when Lord and Lady Astor, Lord Lothian dater ambassador to Washington, Lord Londonderry teducated among the German Junkersl, Godfrey Daw- son editor of the London Times, !, Lord Runciman and Sir Samuel Hoare were the most powerful hackstage figures in England.
 Lord Lothian made frequent trips to Germany for personal inter- views with Hitler. while Lord Run ciman, cn a special mission to Czechoslovakia was quite candid in encouraging the idea that Hitler should take over the Sudetenland.

in pivot shots with either hand to
give the Red Heads a 1876 adVan-
tage at the end of the first quarter.
At this point, the boys decided to
try everything from zone to man
to-man Cor man-to-Woman rather,)
and this served to aid them in cut
ting the score to 1923 at halftime.
Tuffy Tilton and John Watson with
five and four points each led the
ElectricS in this period, while Nc
Gee and Bohannon tailed lone
buckets for the visitors.
The girls put their pretty heads
together to start the second half and
decided to pour on little coal. With
MCGEE leading the way by flipping
in six points, the Red Heads netted
Is points to the Electrics 10 to move
ahead 1928 at the three-quarter
post. Of course, the officials chival-
rouSly overlooked what might be
termed as some unladylike pushing
and showing, much to the delight of
the fans. Bill Murrey's six points
were top production for the boys in
this quarter.
Big Dana Reed was literally hand
cuffed by Toby MCGEE, who was
quite concerned about his inability
to sink his shots, SO she tried to con-
sole him by holding his hand. Even
this didn't help Reed, who was
guarded so closely that MCGEE had
three fouls called on her for hold
highlands that is! Reed-the cad
was caught no less than four times
by the officials-Who were no doubt
jealous-and given fouls for hold
ing.
Scoring was even at nine points
each in the final quarter, although
one of the girls mistook Seffens'
head for the basket and bounced the
ball off it. Ruth Haines, Tilton's
guard, was snagged by the officials
in this period for illegal use of the
charms Cor rather arms), putting
Tuffy up to the free throw line for
one shot which he made, but the
boys couldn't seem to overcome the
lead, bowling 47-37.
John Watson-a married man
and Jim Waller were the only ones
able to keep their wits about them
and score any points, getting eight
each. For the titan haired beauties
McGee sparkled with II while
Haines netted II from way out Both
teams registered Sill free throws

boys l6.
Many of the fans had never seen
this type of game and consequently
were perhaps a little critical of the
holding and pushing, but this is just
the girls way of offsetting the speed
and stamina of the boys. Their busi-
ness is trying to please the fans with
basketball ability as we'll as comic
capers.
There was, however, nothing
phony about their fancy password
skillful ball handling, accurate
shooting, screening, beautiful body
blocks-With emphasis on the beaut-
iful body. In true professional style
they achieved maximum results
with the minimum of efforts, sink
ing their shots whenever needed. In
cidentally, while the girls didn't all
have fiery auburn tresses, none OF
them wore wigs, dispelling a rumor
floating around before game time.
In hastily scheduled preliminary
two teams of upper classmen al
Caldwell high school battled to g
3030 tie, Bill Murrey leading one
team with Is points and Joe Bigley
pacing the other with IL.
