WOMEN POLICE
With the names of so
many Eskimo women ap
pearing on the city docket,
there comes the need for
, the hand of a policewoman
in the - handling of such
cases.
In the past there have
been instances in which the
policemen have been placed
in compromising positions
in line of duty while at
tending Native women who
were inmates of the city
jail.
This could be entirely
eliminated by having a
woman serving as a police
officer, on the job to assist
in, patrolling and to take
over the duties of a police
matron.
The U- S. marshal’s office
in Nome has proved that
such a system will work.

out of the conference be
t w e e n Generalissimo
Chiang Kai-Shek and Lin
Tso-han, the Communist
leader, could mean much in
the war against Japan. This
bitter and long-standing
difference has immobilized
two fighting forces that are
badly needed—the Com
munists themslves and the
“cordan sanitaire” of Chin
ese Nationalist troops
around Communist - occu
pied territory.
Here, as m France, Po
land, Yugoslavia and
Greece, unity has been de
layed to the detriment of
the Allied effort. A settling
of China’s civil dispute, if
only for the duration,
would strike a heavy psy
chological as well as physi
cal blow. — (Anchorage
Times).
MANPOWER
If the need becomes im
perative, the equivaent of
a million full-time workers
could be thrown into the
production battle in this
country by having 10 per
cent of our 20 million
whitecollar workers put in
short shifts in war plants.
Joseph Frazier, an Ohio
industrialist whose firm is
turning out landng craft
for the navy, contendSs that
too much talk of post-war
plans is causing large num
bers of workers to imagine
that the war is virtually
over and that such talk cre
ates absenteeism and ham
pers war production.
He suggests that the plan
of using white-collar work
ers in short shifts of three
or four hours a day in war
industries can and should!
be put in effect. By short-;
ening their hours in their
regular occupations. Mr.
Frazier believes an ample
supply of labor qould be ob
tainedin aiftpst any area
He wonders, like many
others, why such plan has
not been put in operation
long ago.—(Journal of
Commerce of Seattle).
