Peace Through
(Cincinnati Enquirer)
It was a suitable keynote which
Secretary of the Navy Frank
Knox struck at the commission
ing of the new 35.000-ton super
dreadnaught North Carolina, the
first battleship to be added to the
United States Navy in 18 years.
"I should like to call your at
tention,” Secretary Knox said,
“to the fact that our failure to
launch and commission ships of
the line for the past 18 years has
been due to a national instinct
and aspiration for peace around
the world. Far more than any
other nation, the United States
made sacrifices in the cause of"
world disarmament 18 or 20
years ago. We persisted in that
policy until all hopes fop an es
tablishment of world peace by
that method had to be abandon
ed because of the action of other
nations. The commissioning of
this magnificent ship now is a
recognition on our part that the
world has not yet reached that
stage in human progress where
we can depend wholly upon
ideals for our own protection.”
Against the specious claims of
Adolph Hitler and his Axis satel
lites that the d- mocracies “forc
ed war” upon them is posed the
fact that predominant public op
inion in all of the great democ
racies so strongly favored peace
that they exposed themselves to
grave peril by their attempts to
secure peace by disarmament.
The Washington Naval Disarma
ment Conference of 1922 was an
eloquent expression of desire for
a peaceful world community. In
keeping with its commitments at
that conference, the United Stat
es destroyed naval tonnage
which would be of priceless val
ue today. We had in op ration,
at the time of the World War, the
greatest armament plant in his
tory. We disbanded it. France,
which had the greatest air fleet
in the world at the clos; of the
last war, permitted it to rust
away and did not replace it. Eng
land, too, pursued the wil-o’-wisp
of peace through unpreparedness
for war unti it was almost too
late to protect herself.
If this awful situation has a
'happy conclusion, the world will
know bett r next time. It will
know that disarmament is an
insurance of peace when, and
only when, the aggressors lack
the implements of aggression.
DRAFT EVADER GETS 18 MOS.

Federal Judge Lewis B. Schwell
cnbach has sentenced draft-evad-1
Or Hans Sehinmanski to serve 18
months in a penitentiary as an

is better to devote their time to
democratic principles “than to
setting themselves up as Hitlers
in this country.”

Alaska Nurses
Reminded Of
National Survey
—
The Alaska nurs-'s, active and
inactive, are again reminded of
the nation-wide survey of regis
tered nurses which is being con
ducted by the United States Pub
lic Health Scrvci: as one of the
national defense measures.
Miss Mngnhild Oygard, Special
Agent of the United States Pub
lic Health Service, Juneau, Al
aska, who is directing the survey
in Alaska, r cently stated that a
study of the returns of the ques
tionnaires received from the nurs
es indicates that the Alaska nurs
es not only can help but are most
willing to serve in the defense
program. However, she states
that there are a few nurses who
• have stil] failed to complete and
return the qu stionnaires to Ju
neau headquarters. To date, ap
proximately five hundred ques
tionnaires have been sent out to
nurses in the Territory, and only
about thre; hundred and fifteen
have been returned to headquar
ters. It has also been found that
duplication is very apt to take
place, as many states have taken
names from the registry in th-ir
own state, and sent questionnair
es to nures now residing jji
aka Also, there are changes of
addresses and names after mar
riage. A< nurse who r coives
more than one questionnaire
should return one questionnaire
to Juneau headquarters or give it
to a nurse who has not received
one.
Nurs s who have already sen!
in questionnaires and who in the
future may change place of ad
dress, should notify Juneau head
quarters of the change. Many
who returned questionnaires as
sumed that the inventory head
quarters is a placement bureau.
This is not true. The purpose of
the inventory is to secure a re
cord of available nurse power
for em rgency purposes. Nurses
who are seeking employment
may do so through the regular
channels, such as nursing associa
tiens and hospitals.
The Alaska Director of the sur
vey again wishes to remind all
registered nurses to fill in your
original state and date of regis
tration. to return your completed
questionnaire immediately, to
notify her of needed questionnair
es and to remind married nurs
es to send for a questionnaire if
th y have not received one. Our
country may soon need their ser
vices to replace younger nurses
who leave for the Army and
Navy. This National Defense
Nurses Survey in Alaska will
only be as complete as active and (
nonactive nurses make it. The j
responsibility rests with the 1
nurse and the nurse alone.
FRENCH RATION
SYSTEM RAPPED

tary of the French academy of

ed that Frenchmen must find
much more nonrationed food to
be able to work and live.

Allies Lost War
Before Start Is
c
CCICAGO. Ill, April 21—Col.
Charles A. Lindberg charged “it
will be a tragedy to the world,
a tragedy even to Germany, if
th British Empire collapses,”
but he gave it as his opinion the
war was lost by the Allies even
before it was declared.
Lindbergh made the state
ment in an address for the Am
erica First Committ'e. He called
tidily among the people op
p sod to intervention by the Unit
ed States and fur.her declared:
“It is not yet too late for us to
save our own country from the
chaos and failures of this war
bu* I b 'li ve that it is not within
our power in America today to
win tiie war for England even
though we throw the entire re
sources of our Nation into the
I conflict. With all of our organiza
tinn of industry, we will not be
able to transport an army ac
ross the ocean large enough to
I invade the continent of Europe
, successfully as long as the strong
i European armies are there for its
defense.”
