EDITORIAL
TWO DAY SERVICE FOR NOME
Away back in 1930, some rash
young man who had the aviation
bug in Nome voiced the opinion
it “wouldn't be many years be
fore we had two-day mail and
passenger service between Nome
and Seattle.”
Today that service is establish
ed on a twice-weekly basis. Hard
to believe in 1930. it is common
place today. Mail which left Sea?
tie last Friday at 9 a.m. arrived
at Nome about 10:30 a.m. Sunday
just two days after leaving Seat
tle.
The driving force behind these
dreams is the ambition of Ameri
cans to go places and do things. |
Pan American Airways, which
pioneered the original interna
tional mail route via air, through
its subsidiary Pacific Alaska Air- [
ways, has extended its scheduled !
airlines from the United States to
Alaska.
Alaska, with many criss-cross
routes in daily contact for some
years, is now in direct aerial con ,
nection with the United States,
and far-flung scheduldes of ma
jor airlines throughout the States i
and foreign countries.
FRANCE SUES FOR PEACE
— WHAT NEXT ?
Driven from her strongholds, j
beaten back far from her front
iers, her capital in the hands of
the enemy and facing annhilation
by an acknowledged superiorly
equipped force, proud France has
capitulated to Germany. Laying;
down her arms to save her civil
ian population and what remains
of her army from extermination,
France has asked for terms of
peace.
What will be the terms. This
momentous question is not only
of utmost concern to the French
people but likewise to Britain—
r.ow left to face the enemy alone
a.d to all the world.
3ritain declares she will fight,
on, despite the fate of her her
oic ally. But with all the strength
of her combined enemies, her pos
ition to say the least is precar
ious. Possibly out of the peace
negotiations will come some hope
cf adjustment to her advantage,
but what. This and other issues
cf supreme importance may be
clarified within the next few
days.
Hitler, in an accredited inter
view a few days gao, declared he
is not concerned with the control
of the Mediterranean or what
America does for the protection i
of the Americas, saying “America
has acclaimed the doctrine of Am
er’-'a for the Americans, and I!
am for Europe for the Europ
eans." Will his terms be confined
to this. If so, it may indicate a
policy of an "United States of
Europe." And would that be prac
ticable in the face of the attitude
of Russia with all her ambitions,
and the necessary coalition of
many peoples who for thousands
of years never have been able to
dwell together in unity.
Old world conquerors never
have been able to hold their con
quests together. Time has crumb
led them and border lines have
lapsed back to the boundaries of
ancient racial and language
groups.
Now that Hitler has been ask
ed to name his terms, the -world
will await with keenest concern
concern his terms. But whatever
they may be, America will do
well to prepare for the worst,
trusting none and arming to the
utmost, lest she may also face
the fate of France.
