GREAT DAY COMING?
Many Alaskans, reading the following editorial,

smiling and fertile agricultural valltys.
The Future of Alaska
(San Francisco Call-Bulletin >
One of the happiest results of the war in the
Pacific, from San Francisco's standpoint, is the re- :
newal of interest in Alaska.
Of course, that interest now centers on the pen
insula's strategical importance in the war. and vast
sums- of money are being spent to develop impregnable
military bases there.
But the military spotlight has served to reveal
Alaska in its true non-military character, too. Par
ticuiarly, the tens of thousands of young people who
have been sent there in connection with the war effort
arc learning at first hand that Alaska is not a land,
as so many people have believed, of Isolated mines;
fog-bound fishing stations, glaciers and frozen moun
tains, but is one of warmth and splendor and color, of
apparently inexhaustible mineral resources running
the gamut of the elements, of boundless forests and
splendid harbors, of smiling and fertile agricult ural
valleys.
And the tremendous military developments now
taking place will serve inevitably, after the war, to
stimulate and facilitate exploitation of the Territory’s
incalculable natural wealth.
The fleet sof ships that now crowd Alaska's new
harbors, the trucks that roll over- the new Alaskan
highway, and the airplanes that now roar into the
northland's new airports with the material of war,
will return again to bear the goods of trade, and
Alaska will become in fact what it is now in potential
ity—the richest and greatest of the United States’
possessions.
San Francisco is not the direct gateway to Alaska.
But San Francisco is, and is destined to remain, the
center of trade and commerce in the entire American
Pacific, and any development increasing the wealth
and productivity of that area must redound to the
wealth and prestige of San Francisco. That the
development of Alaska will do in unpredictable
measure.
Mark of Hiller
i Cincinnati Enquirer'
The pence terms which, according to the recent
pronouncement from British Foreign Secretary An
thony Eden, were brought to England by Rudolf Hess
when he made his sensational flight to Scotland, beai
the marks of Hitler diplomacy and strategy. Most of
the facts in the Eden report had been made public
before, but the six peace terms shed much light upon
the operations, within the fabric of nations it sought
to seduce, of the Nazi machine.
The six peace terms might have been considered
attractive to a nation in the straits which England
found itself on the night when Hess, the No. 2 Nazi
! of the time, dropped from the skies in Scotland. They
I offered England control of her Empire: asked a free
i hand for Germany in Europe. But—and there was
th<* rub no negotiations were to be considered until
the Churchill government had been overthrown.
Thus it can be concluded with some logic, that
Hitler sought to bring what he thought might be
powerful British influences to,work to upset their own
war government. The fact that Hess insists he came
without the knowledge of his leader is unimportant.
The Nazi government in Berlin had tried the same
trick time and time before, with different govern
ments, in different lands marked for conquest. And
many times, as the record of the war will prove, this !
technique was successful.
What would have been the attitude of Germany,
once a seething internal unrest had overthrown Chur
chill? It is to be presumed that the new government
would have been more friendly to Germany.
Tims Berlin had laid the groundwork for an easy j
conquest of her toughest customer. She hoped to .
succeed Without too much loss of men or material, j
The terms she offered, after her foot was in the door,
would have been disregarded entirely, as such terms j
were disregarded in the other countries similarly j
brought in to defeat.
But the Nazi plan was doomed to defeat by the
patriotism of the various factions of Englishmen. They
wanted no truck with such as Hitler, whether or not
they happened to be supporters of Mr. Churchill. It
was in the Hess matter that the Nazis lost their
first major battle with England, although for months
afterward the fate of the British Isles lay in the
balance.

GENERAL CLARK CABLES
Congressman Henry M. Jackson
of Everett. Wash., has just received
a cable from Gbn. Mark Clark from
the Salerno-Naples battlefield.
Representative Jackson recently
enlisted in he Army as a buck pri
vate, and just before doing so, sent
cables to Gen. MacArthur, Gen.
Eisenhower, and other field com
manders stating that he would like
to see active service and was at
their command.
Gen. Clark cabled from the thick
of the bloody Naples battle: “Wish
you could be with me as soon as
possible.”
CAPITAL CHAFF
Phil Reed, former General Elec
tric Chairman who slid gracefully
out of the War Production Board in;
Washington, is slated to take Aver
ell Harrimnn’s place as Lend-Lease
Administrator in England *
The Army and Navy both have
given belated but vigorous assur
ances to the Truman Committee
that from now on when the Com
mittee turns up inefficiensy. the
armed services will root it out im
mediately—if tire Truman Commit
tee will refrain from a public airing
* • • Certain Senators still have
their lingers crossed • * «* It re
mains an unfortunate fact that
WAC recruiting is suffering as a
result of John O'Donnell's contra-!
captive story * ♦ * Also it is felt
in high Army circles that Col. Hobby
has slightly over-organized the
WACS. The WAACS themselves
would prefer male officers to wo
men. They say the men aren’t so
tough.
POST-WAR INDUSTRY
The President has just had a
i-'nlflcatu conference with Repre
sentative Wright Patman of Texas
on past-war domestic economy.
The President expressed himself
forcefully on the necessity of greater
decentralization of industry after
the ♦ar, said every section of the
country should, as far as possible,
bo made •economically self-suffic
ient." Our vast program of war
preduction has been instrumental
in the spread of industry to many
sections in the South and West that
previously had no factories to speak
of. the President said.
But he added that there was still
much to be done. For example,
steel had to be shipped all the way
across the country to aircraft plants
and shipyards on the West Coast,
though the West and Northwest are
rich in iron ore deposits which
haven't been developed because the
steel trust has concentrated its mills
and blast furnaces in the East.
Out of Patman’s talk at the While
House evolved the meeting of 50
Congressmen from 26 states to de
mand that the Administration take
steps now to insure greater decen
tralization of industry.
Senator Pat McCarren of Nevada,
Representative John Coffee of
Washington, Clinton Anderson of
New Mexico and Cecil King of Cali
fornia, were the main movers.
MERRY-GO-ROUND
Top men in the War Department
were boiling mad over the Selfridge
Field court martial which merely
reduced Col. William T. Coleman
to the rank of captain for shooting
a negro private. Generally it is
difficult to increase the penalties
of court martials. but this time
Army chiefs are so incensed they
will try to do it * * * Without any
fanfare. Attorney General Biddle
has been quietly reorganizing his
; Justice Department. In addition to
Congressman Jim McGranery of
Philadelphia. Who becomes Assist
ant to the Attorney General, Ed
Ennis takes over the Registration
of Foreign Agents * * * Herbert
Bayard Swope, genius of the old
New York World and a director of
the Columbia Broadcasting System,
has determined that CBS directors
get to the bottom of censorship
charges against Columbia * * *
Congressman Ramspeck of Georgia
has declared war against the civil
service requirement of a college de
gree for any man holding most
government jobs which i>ay over
$1,800. Ramspeck declares that
anyone serving in the armed forces
has better qualifications than a col
lege education and that war ser
vice will be equivalent to a college
degree when the boys come home.

I HOROSCOPE 1
| “The stars incline \
but do not compel”
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 14
Benefic aspects rule through the
early hours but. later, adverse
planetary influences are active. The
people come under exciting im
pulses.
HEART AND HOME: Women of
all ages should work in thought to
overcome old-time prejudices of
many sorts. Social bars have been
let down in recent weeks when war
emergencies eliminated class dis
tinctions but coming months are to
'bring about even greater changes
in human relations than have taken
place in the past. Positive thoughts!
cf love and understanding should!
be harbored wherever criticisms are
suggested. Readjustments in hu
man relations will be sweeping and
at first difficult to accept, the seers
prophesy.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Astrolo
gers warn of propaganda meant to
undermine long established founda
tions of business. Efforts to dis
credit all forms of capitalism will
be persistent and will be aided by
many persons in public office, the
seers predict. Campaigns under
various names and different aims >
will discredit many long-established I
American methods of cai-rying on |
great enterprises. The stars are
read as presaging reforms in places
where changes are desirable but they
advise conservative policies.
NATIONAL AFFAIRS: Refugee
problems will be of much concern
through the next few’ months. Ac
cording to certain interpretations of'
astrologers, the United States will j
be the haven toward which thou-,
sands of Europeans will turn in
planning for the future. This will |
cause a new order of Isolationists j
i who foresee industrial difficulties as
well as heavy Governmental obliga- j
tions. There are indications that.'
despite opposition, large numbers
; of foreigners will pour into the land
' of liberty. It is foretold that well
I laid plans already are complete^1
j by which relatives’ of naturalized
i citizens will be admitted in greaj
j numbers.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:
: The full Moon for this month is
I read as unfavorable to Japan, since
ills aspects may cause unrest and
extreme peril for the subjects of
j Emperor Hirohito. Desperation wfll
mark the policies of enemies of the
United Nations. However, the
strength of Japan and the resources
of the resolute fighters must not be
underestimated. It is forecast that
many months of conflict must be
expected before our Oriental foes
are vanquished.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of a year of advance
ment. Happy domestic conditions
are indicated.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be artistic and ambitious.
These Libra natives usually are
kindly, unselfish and successful,
