A MATTER OF RECORD
It is immensely edifying to hear accusations of treach
ery from the lips of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.
The term has, apparently, its own very special meaning
for them. Both of them are now quivering with indig
nation and injured innocence over their “betrayal” by
the Italian people. Their atttudes transcend effront
ery. Here s a morality so warped that it is impervious
to shame, incapable even of a sense of guilt.
The record of their guilt, written in human blood,
is unlikely ever to be erased from the memory of man.1
It is, by now. a long and tedious and familiar record—
too long for full recital here. But some of its highlights I
are worth recalling briefly, if only to remind us fresh
ly of the moral hideousness against which we are wag
ing war. Here are some of the protestations of Adolf,
Hitler made in the days when there were still some who
would give him credence:
“The German people have no thought of invading
any country.” (Berlin. May 17, 1933.)
“Germany has neither the wish nor the intention to
mix in internal Austrian affairs or annex or unite with
Austria.” (Reichstag, May 21, 1935.)
“We have no territorial demands to make in Europe.’’
(Berlin, March 7, 1943.)
“We are ready to acknowledge and guarantee these
states (the Low Countries) at all times as inviolable
neutral territory.” (Reichstag, January 30, 1937.)
“We succeeded in arriving at an agreement (with
Poland) which, for the duration of 10 years, basically
remows the danger of any clash ... We are two peoples.
They shall live. One cannot annihilate the other.”
(Sportspalast,'September 26, 1938)
“The German Reich and the Kingdom of Denmark
will under no circumstances resort to war or any other
form of violence against each other.” (Article 1 of pact
signed in Berlin, May 31, 1939.)
“I will not war against women and children. I have
ordered my air force to restrict itself to attacks on mili
tary objectives.” (Berlin, September 1, 1939.)
“We (Germany and the Soviet Union) have, there
fore, resolved to conclude a pact which rules out for
ever any use of violence between us.” (Berlin, Septem
ber 1, 1939.)
“In the spirit long existing of good German-Norweg
ian relations the Reich Government notifies the Nor
wegian government that she has no intention, through
her measures now or in the future, of infringing upon
the territorial integrity or the political independence of
the Kingdom of Norway.” (Berlin, April 9, 1940.)
What happened on the heels of these protestations
needs no reoetition here. As for that satellite aggres
sor, Mussolini, who now whines that even his own fol
lowers have turned upon him, it is necessary to recall
only Ethiopia, Albania, Greece—and the infamous “stab
in the back,” administered to stricken France. Such is
the background of the men who now prate about “be
trayal.”—(Washington, D. C., Post.)

MRS. MARGARET
SHAND DEAD
SAN DIEGO, Calif., Dec. 1 —
|AP)—Mrs. Margaret Shand, 93 ,
known to Yukon residents as j
‘‘the Little Mother of the North”,
died yesterday at her home in j
the country.
Margaret Shand came here 63 !
years ago, and married Davis
Shand. During the “Gold Rush”
days the Shands went to Yukon, i
and operated the hotel at Stew- j
art Island for 32 years.
Mrs. Shand asked that her re- ‘
mains be sent to Stewart Island, j
Yukon Territory, for burial be- '
side her husband.
ASKS FOR TWO
BASKETBALL GAMES
A notice was received by The j
Nugget from John E. Paden. prin- '
cipal of the White Mt. Vocational
school. The school would like
very much to bring two basket
ball teams to Nome. As we view
this proposal, a feeling of friend
ship and healthy competition can
be developed between the two i
schools. At various times the ,
Nome teams would play in White '
Mountain in return engagements.
I? time to come, the graduates of
the White Mt. school would be
somewhat dependent on the city
of Nome for their employment,
likewise the business people of
Nome may benefit by having
this source of manpower avail
able. Certainly it behooves our
school to make every effort to
establish a cooperative spirit
with the people of Nome.

strution.
2. Prepare 30 voices to sing the
“Messiah”.
3. Prepare our hearts and
minds to receive the "Messiah".
Twenty volunteers have given
time this month to hblp in the
remodeling of the church. If we
can continue with as much volun
teer help we will be al}le to com
plete the work before Christmas.
The minister is preaching a
series of sermons leading up to
Christmas on the subject, “The
Great Event.”
December 5.—“The Great
Vision.”
December 12.—“The Great Her
ald.”
December 19.—‘‘The Great
Light.” |Candle lighting service).
December 26.—“The Great
Messiah.” (The singir.g of the
“Messiah”).
Prepare your heart and mind
for the Messiah by attending the
Federated Church every Sunday
evening at 7:45 o’clock.
SERGEANT KENNEDY?
WHICH ONE PLEASE?
KESSLER FIELD, Miss. (AP)
—The charge of quarters here
says he is sick and tired of this
kind of telephone conversation:
“Sergeant Kennedy please.”
“Tehnical Sergeant Kennedy”
“They’re both tech’ sergeants.”
“The one I want to talk to
used to be drill sergeant in the
55th training group.”
“They both were.”
“Well, look, this Sergeant
Kennedy was transferred to
Gulfport field last spring.”
‘‘The other one was, too.”
Technical Sergeants Douglas
and Osmond Kennedy came into
the army at the same time two
years ago, and every since,
through several transfers, have
been stationed together. Doug
lar is from Brewton, Ala. Os
mond from Columbia, S. C.
