EDITORIAL
Time A ia PAA
A sign of the times and model
for the future is the world's first
plane-delivered magazine, the air
express edition of Time which
will go to the far corners of the
world beginning with the May 5
issue. The air express edition will
be almost identical with the reg
ular edition of Time, but will be
printed on special lightweight pa
per to lessen the cost of air del
ivery. Its cost will be $10 per
year delivered—just double the
cost of the regular mail edition.
The first issue will serv Latin
merica. including Cuba, Mexico.
Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands and
theCanal Zone. A similar service
to Alaska, Hawaii and the Philip
pines is in prospect, Time an
nounces.
Time will fly via Pan American
Airways, without whose facilit
ies and cooperation Time says
such an undertaking would be
unthinkable. Heretofore airmail
ing a year of Time to South Am
erica cost about $272. An Indian
Maharajah who has been r ceiv
ing Time by air pays $585.60 pei
year.
When Alaska is included in the
new service it wi 1 be possible
for T me fans here to r ad their
copies before the publication date
on the cover and at about the
time the magazine is being dis
tributed by regular mail in New
York or Chicago.
Truly a great departure anc
wonderful stride ahead, now tha
Time has wings.

Alaska High
way Necessity
j j
(Juneau Empire)
News that President Roosevell
has asked Congress for $1,000,00(
to build a highway connecting
Anchorage with the Richardsor
I
.
Highway is good news for Alas
' ka. Behind the President’s re
quest no doubt is the urgent re
commendation of military author
ities. A highway to give over
land road communication be
tween Anchorage and Fairbanks
bases is a military necessity of
the first order.
The- projected highway will
have great uses in peace as we 1
as in defense preparation. It will
open new mineral areas, will
give the farmlands of Matanus
ka and th; Kenai Peninsula an
enlarged marketing area and will
give Alaska a new route from
tidewater to the Interior.
Whether the 145-mile road can
be built for $1,000,000 is ques
tionable but if it is begun it will
be completed, and at a cost
which will be but a drop in the
national defense bucket.
The Territorial Legislature has
b fore it a memorial asking for
this very highway. All Alaskans
recognize its merit. It is one of
the links which Territorial En
gineer Wi liam A. Hesse recom
mends for an Alaska trunk high
way system. It has be n recom
mended by the Alaska Road Com
mission, whose Assistant Chief
Engineer Hawley Stirling walked
over the route last summer on a
1 reconnaissance trip.
The lasting benefits to Alaska
of such road development are ad
but incalculable.
Two of a Kind
Most of us have had the ex
perience of overlooking the un
d sirable qualities of one neigh
bor because, at the moment, the
offensiveness of another was ev
en more exasperating.
That i- just about the attitude
th United States seems to have
adopted in respect to Germany
and Russia. Our sense of justice
is so outraged by the manner in
which the Nazis have been clean
ing up on ev rybody in sight
that we have ail hijt forgotten
the wife-beating that goes on
regularly in the home of the
Communists.

No - Strike
Machinery
J
Is Proposed
■ ■ ■
WASHINGTON, March 7— Ro
bert Patterson, Undersecretary of
War, proposed creation of strike
prevention machinery such as
was set up during the World War
to prevent interruption of cur
r nt arms production.
Reviewing the work of the 12
man board organized by Presi
dent Wilson during the World
War. Patterson said he believed
a similiar system based on con
ciliation and voluntary compli
ance by both labor and manage- j
rnents could avert many strikes
and prevent loss of many man |
day’s work.
PLAN AIR TRAINING
FOR BRITISH GIRLS
LONDON — British girls of 14
and over soon may have their
own Women’s Junior Air Corps
to prepare them for later service
in the Women’s Auxiliary Air
Force. Boys of 14 already are
given preliminary training for
the RAF.
f.iieg that S’a '.a somehow :s a.
mere gentle fellow than Hitler,
and even the State Department
sometimes vidences a foiget
and-forgive attitude toward the:
dictator who a year ago was beat
ing up on a scrappy but tiny
neighbor.
But a couple of news hems
serve to jolt our memories on the I
tii Soviet form of tyranny. In1
the New York Times a writer
has pieced together dozens of re
ports that have evaded the Rus
sian censor and which indicate
that a half million Poles were
subjected to even worse exper
iences in Siberia after part of
their country came under the “be
n:gn” control of Stalin. In fact,
it b comes apparent that the only
real rivalry between Nazis and i
Communists in their respective j
halves of the wretched little na-,1
tion was in the invention of new-!
r and more horrible types of,
torture.
Russia remains the Russian of
Stalin and the attack on Finland.
Let’s not replace this truth with
a hope that the U S S S R might
became the savior of democracy.
The only reason Russia has not
raided h r neighbors (Alaska in-i
eluded) on Germany's scale is I
that Russia is a military weak-;
ling by comparison. Her motives
and intentions are no better than,
tho^e of the Reich.
