PARCEL POST zONINo VOW W USe W ALASKA

The new parcel Post zone order went into
 effect on Tedne esday of this week. This zoni zoning is the result Of numerous confer
 ences between Delegate Bartlett and Post Off ice Dep artment off ici a1s. h 1925 the Terr itor ia1 Legislature lemor 1a1ized Con- gress and the Post Master General to es- tab1ish parcel post zoning system for | the Territory, but it is only now being
 put into operat ion.
 The regular fourth-c1ass parcel post rates
 in force in the cont mental United States will be applied for shipment of Parcel Post, packages within the Terr itory. Heretofore, anyone sh ipping package, for example, from Palmer to Anchorage, had to pay l charge based on the eth rate at the
 same cost of package shipped from New York to Pc int Bcrrow.
 The Terr itory has been divided into units | of area and zone keys establ ished. Using
 Anchorage as an example East Anch~ age and Chugtak combined into one zone key. Any point from that zone key up to l5o miles away will be in the l-2 zone, l5o 15o to 800 miles will be in zone 3,
 300 to 600 miles will be in zone
 500 to 1000 miles will be in zone g..
 1000 to l4oo miles will be in zone 6;
 l4oo to 1900 miles will be in zone ?,
 over 1900 miles will be in zone 8, and parcel post rates will be charged accord
 ng1ys
 Air parcel post service recently established by Congress will also apply to parcels trans ported by air from postoffice to an-
 other wi thin Alaska. Sealed unsealed packages weighing moro than ounces and not moro than 20 pounds more than 100
 inches in length and girth combined may handled at t he new air parcel post ratess Rates are by the zones vi thin Alaska as proscr ibed for Surface parcel post. They start at 55 cents for the first pound and cents for each additional puund in zores l and and run up to 30 cents for he first pound and 65 cents for each extra pound
 in zone 6.
 Shipments by parcel post from tho conti- mental United States to any point in the Territory will cont inuo to be charged at 9th zone rates: Third Class Postmaster General 1owle under whom tho system will bo admin istorod, has assured Do1o gato Bart lott that packages will cont tiruo to be sont within Alaska by air at su urfaco parcel post rates to destinations not supplied by sur- faco transp ion.

ers, the strict Communist discipline
makes it impossible for workers to
refuse to obey their leaders orders.
The present strikes already have
caused a serious setback to the
French economy and have seriously
damaged the ERP program. This
is particularly true in heavy indus
try. The French coal production,
without which the industry cannot
live, is losing some 10000 tons a
day. And, making things worse,
some Of the mines which have been
flooded cannot start production

Partial walkoutS which are seldom

In Italy the situation is quiet on
the surface only. For the last few
weeks the Communists, headed by
Palmiro Togliatti, have been very
active, particularly in the industrial
north. These tools of Moscow are
aiming at creating conditions SINH

France are pivotal republics in
Western Europe and if through
conspiratorial methods Moscow can
destroy the economic recovery which
is beginning, particularly in Italy
the German problems in the U. N
will become of only relative impor-
tance.

also will nullify all attempts of the
Western bloc to reorganize Its
armed forces, is at this time Mos.

Nor Is the struggle over the

part of the battle for Europe; the
battle for Europe is part Of the bat
tie for the world.
Soviet's Chief Asset.
In this struggle the Soviet's chief
asset-and monopoly-has been a
clear concept of the minimum and
maximum objectives for which it
fought the war. The minimum OBJ
jective was to save the integrity of
the Soviet Union and recover the
territory lost to the Russian Empire
by the First World War when Lenin
and Trotsky-for the sake of the
bolshevist revolution-ceded away
some of Russia s most valuable terri
tories, not all of which were re-
covered through a subsequent vic
tory of the Western Allies. For
Stain to prove bolshevism's capacity
to throw out the Germans, to whom
it had once capitulated, and recover
every inch of territory Lenin himself
lost was surely always q minimum
objective.
The maximum objective was the
realization of Lenin's long view
dream-the turning Of war into a
revolution to make the socialist
fatherland" master Of the globe.
For the achievement of the max
in,um objective, the Soviets needed
the initial cooperation Of the West
ern Allies, especially over Germany.
They got it. The most favorable
condition for the sovietizing of Ger
many was German truncation and
division, under circumstances which
would enable Russia permanently to
hold a knife at the heart Of the
capital and exclusively control a
large section Of German territory.
The first was achieved by forcibly
sovietizing Poland and then extend
ing the borders Of Russia dominated
Poland to within q few miles Of
Berlin.
When we discuss the possibility
Of both Russia and the Western
Powers withdrawing from Germany,
we obviously must ask: Where to?
The United States would withdraw
5000 miles. Russia would withdraw,
leaving armed Soviet republics all
contiguous to Germany and herself
and all acting under Russian orders.
These republics would surround an
entirely helpless country in the
Baltic. at the gates Of Berlin,
Saxony, Thuringia and Bavaria, on
frontiers obviously defensible even
by an armed Germany and all Of
Western Europe.
