RESTORING WORLD TRADE
In Uic study just issued by the Department of
Commerce, "The United States in the World Economy,"
there are a number of debatable contentions, but the
main conclusion is a thoroughly sound one. This is
that the United States, after the war, must resume
investment of capital abroad and prepare now to buy
more goods from other countries by prosecuting the
reciprocal trade agreements program vigorously, with
more emphasis on reduction of tariffs by this country
than on concessions obtained front others.
The strength of the Hull reciprocal trade agree- ■
meats program was that by emphasizing the tariff
concessions that we got from other countries it made
tariff reduction politically acceptable. The weakness
of the program was thaj to most minds it. conveyed
the implication that a reduction of our town tariffs
was essentially a favor to other countries, granted at
our own expense, and that such a favor was only to
be justified by the favors granted to us by othei
countries in return. But the reduction of our own
tariffs is. in fact, in the first instance a favor to oui
own consumers, who arc able to obtain cheaper goods
Ultimately it is a favor to our whole national economy
because it permits the great volume of world trade -
in the absence of which the prosperity of nny single
country is certain to be limited.
The Problem of Unity
(New York Timesi
If North Africa and Italy have presented difficult
political problems to the United Nations forces, what
of Yugoslavia and Greece? In Yugoslavia there has
long been open hostility between the guerrillas of Gen.
Draja Mikhailovitch and the Partisans of Gen Josip
Broz. more commonly known as Tito. In Greece, as
C. L. Sulzberger states in a dispatch to this newspaper,
active warfare between small Greek bands is raging
across the central portion of the country from the
towering Pindus range to Thessaly and the south.
Here there are no less than three groups, two of which
are now fighting each other to the neglect of the
outside enemy, while the third looks on. The Allies
have done their best to be impartial, but if an Allied
army were actually landed in Greece some decision
would obviously have to be made.
It is the nature of this decision that is the
problem. To the extent that the United States enters
into it two broad lines of policy-are clearly indicated:
First, that we do what we can to make possible a
democratic expression of opinion regarding the future
government of each country: second, that we use
what power and influence we have to prevent in any
country the rise of a new fascism or nazism under
another name. We have to assume that no democratic
vote will result in fascism or nazism. We also nave
to assume that fascism or nazism is not and cannot
be a matter of purely domestic concern in any coun
try, since either of these systems by its very nature
threatens the world's peace. We are intervening in
Europe by force of arms, and if it is necessary to take
political positions to destroy the forms of government
which made intervention necessary, then we must
take them.
The Germans have made the most of the fact
that one faction in Yugoslavia and one in Greece
seem to have Russian support. It will be one of the
tasks of the Moscow conference to do all that can be
done to remove this possible source of disunity, not
only in Yugoslavia and Greece but in every country
that has been under the Nazi heel. Civil war in
Europe, now and after Hitler is overthrown, can be
avoided only by agreement shared by Russia. Britain
and the United States—and, it is to be hoped, other
members of the. United Nations—as to what principles
shall be followed in dealing with liberated territories.
No country, big or little, can profit by civil war. We
will have had all the war civilization can stand. We
have to have faith that the Moscow conferees will put
this fact first.

SECRET GOP MEETING
It Isn't supposed to be noised
about, but Republican Congressman
"Ham" Andrews of Buffalo and his
near neighbor Congressman Jim
Wadsworth of Geneseo, N. Y., are
planning a significant meeting soon
with a view to launching a new GOP
candidate for President.
That candidate is Jim Wadsworth
himself.
They are meeting with GOP Na
tional Committeeman for N. Y.
Russell Sprague. Nassau County
bass, and Republican State Chair
man Ed Jaeckle of Buffalo to try
to convince them to line up the
New York state delegation for
Wadsworth. The meeting is to be
held very quietly on Long Island
with no blare of trumpets.
Behind the meeting is the feeling
of reactionary Republicans that the
country is swinging vigorously to
the right, that they can put across
a good solid conservative next year.
This was the interpretation they
placed ou last week's, elections.
Jim Wadsworth, now 66, has a
great record in Congress in prepar
ing the nation for war and in sup
porting Roosevelt's foreign policies.
A veteran legislator, he served in
the N. Y. State Assembly for five
years; also 12 years in the U. S.
Senate. After his defeat in the
Senate he had the courage to stage
a comeback in the less Important
House.
On other than war policies, how
ever, Jim's political thinking dates
back to ,the days when he opposed
woman's suffrage.
WHEAT FOR ALCOHOL
All along the eastern seaboard,
distillers are grinding wheat by the
millions of bushels for industrial al
cohol. at a time when wheat for
food is running tragically short.
Largest plants are New England
AlcpiiOl. at Everett. Mass.; U. S.
Industrial Alcohol, at Baltimore and
Yonkers. N. Y.; DuPont Company,
at Deepwarter, N. J.; Publickei at
Philadelphia They are consuming
wheat at the rate uf 60 million
bushels a year.
These plants normally make their
alcohol from molasses. They were
located near tidewater fur the spe
cific purpose of getting their raw
materials, molasses, by sea from
Puerto Rico or Cuba.
But today, that molasses is being
used to make Puerto Rican and
Clibau gin for the thirsty U. S.
market, while the alcohol compan
ies. denied molasses, haul wheat all
the way from St. Paul and Chicago.
Cubans are making gin as never
before. Quantity is high, quality
low. Current production is running
100 times that of last year. Sailing
vessels from the Caribbean tramp
fleets have been pressed into service
to deliver the stuff from Havana to
Miami.
One such schooner dropped
-anew in Havana one evening, and
the skipper expressed anger on find
ing that the cargo of gin he was
expecting to load next morning was
not yet on the clocks.
"Don't worry," he was told. "The
alcohol is arriving at the plant at
midnight, and the gin will be ready
for you in the morning.”
U. S. officials are still negotiating
with the Cuban government to get
molasses instead of -gin. Discussions
broke down but are being resumed.
COMBATTING DISEASE
Miss Florence Kerr, an intimate
friend <}f Mrs. Roosevelt, is optim
istic about the progress made dur
ing the war period in the cure of
venereal disease.
She has personal responsibility for
funds under the Lanham Act to set
up Rapid Treatment Centers, and
! she has a long-time personal inter
; est in the problem of delinquent
girls.
When soldiers contract a venereal
disease, they report to their own
officers and are quizzed as to the
source of the Infection. In the
majority of cases, the woman can
be identified and found. She is
i taken to a Rapid Treatment Center
I for application of the new heat
: therapy process, which cures some
(cases of syphilis in five days. Not
j all patients can be subjected to this
treatment, however, since tire high
1 fever which is induced is a severe
I strain on the heart.
Experts now hope—but it is still;
only a hope—that the experience 1
I of this war may open the way to
the complete eradication of venereal j
disease from human society.

PROCLAMATION
The following Armistice Day proc
lamation was issued today by Act
ing Governor, E. L. Bartlett:
"On November 11, 1918. the last
shot was fired on the plains ol
France to end the first World War.
Now, 25 years later, our soldiers and
the soldiers of our Allies are again
pressing forward to victory over
the forces of tyranny and oppres
I sion and slavery. It is fitting that
1 we in Alaska should solemnly ob
serve this anniversary in memory
of those who served for us and died
1 for us in the first great war, and
in honor of those who even now
J are fighting and dying that our
American institutions may live.
NOW. THEREFORE. I. E, L.
Bartlett. Acting Governor of the
Territory of Alaska, do proclaim
Thursday, November 11, 1943. as
Armistice Day. Let us hope and
pray that when another year shall
have passed, victory, which inevit
ably shall be ours, will be complete.
Now' we must press forward with
as little interruption as possible to
the essential tasks of wartime, but
w»e can properly dedicate the day
as one of homage and as one of
reaffirmation to those ideals which
have made our nation great and
strong.”

HOROSCOPE j
“The stars incline
but do not compel” j
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 10
Benefit aspects ruling strongly to
day should bring cheering news to
the nation. Under this configura
tion the Allied armies gain great
distinction.
HEART AND HOME: Again the
aged come under planetary influ
ences that cause their counsel to
be valued. There is a sign presag
ing revival of many old-time stand
ards of dress and manners. After
much wearing of uniforms, women
in peacetime will return to pictures
que fashions and dignified social
i usages. Materialistic ideas _ will be
I subordinated to lofty aspirations by
tnen and women who will mould
public opinion under Aquarian
[trends. Marriage again will be con
! sidered something more than a
temporary contract.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Govern
ment price fixing will be widely dis
cussed ns Winter mercantile trade
promises to be extensive. This
year's Christmas shopping is to
cause apprehensions of Increased
inflation, because spending will be
excessive among many American
wage earners. Today should be es
pecially profitable for retail mer
chants. Employers may expect
hearty cooperation from workers,
who are subject to promising plane
tary influences.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Criticism
of our foreign policies and Govern
ment secrecy regarding national
'questions will furnish material for
I fifth-column claims. Evil portents
[ foretell unrest among the people of
the United States, who now will
! manifest many evidences of severe
: nerve strain. There is a sign in
1 cheating a firm stand’in Congress
on international relations. Mistakes
iof the past are to prove salutary
lessons for the future, astrologers
[ declare.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:
Portugal is to play a more promin
ent part in world affairs. Accord
ing to the interpretation ot aspects
■ discerned in recent changes or the
Moon, there will be progressive in
terest in the country whose neutral
ity has been fortunate for countless
war refugees from occupied coun
tries. Military preparations will be
carried on in view of passible perils
precipitated by Spanish emergen
, cies and Franco's eclipse.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of a year of extraordin
ary experiences. For many, out
standing good fortune is likely.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be endowed with positive
characters and first-rate intelli
gence. Popularity and success are
| indicated.

The Alaska Road Commission had just closed the most successful
season in its history, according to Col. James G. Steese, President. Its
increased resources permitted a much greater amount of work to he done
