Striking At Allied I.ife Line
Germany’s most aggresive and
effective thrust at Britain and
France and that giving most con
cern to date is the rapid sinking
of the Allied powers’ ships, not
ably their mercantile marine.
In this Germany strikes at the
life-line, the commerce and over
seas source of supplies, virtual
life-line, especially of the Brit
ish Isles.
Submarines, first dealing the
most potent of German attacks
on shipping, as well as on war
vessels of her enemies, are now
supplemented with mines many,
of them reported dropped from
planes in lanes of travel. Some
of them are reported magnetized
so that they will rise from' the
waters to contact passing steel
hulled ships.
Britain and France are called
on to do their utmost with their
combined sea forces —exercising
ceaseless vigils, sweeping the
seas and even inland water and
harbors. To clean out nests of
German submarines at the sea
bases or destroy them with depth
bombs and other appliances is a
mighty task.
To replace the destroyed ton
nage of the Allies is another.
While some 85 British ships have
been sunk to date, it is claimed
Britain is building ships faster
than the enemy destroys them.
France is supposed to be doing
the same. Ships purchased in oth
er countries supplement the re
placements—and those that neu
trals will build will do the same.
Neutral nations engaged in leg
itimate trade or carrying contra
band are heavy losers and may
be expected to continue such.
On the whole, tlve struggle for
sea supremacy and power is a
mighty factor. The Allied powers
may blockade Germany from ac
cess to overseas trade and sup
pies, but Germany may be ex
pected to get supplies from Rus
Sia and other central European
nations, provided they do not en
counter crop shortages and fam
ine conditions, which they often
have in the past.
Russia is reported the chief
sbtii'ce by overland routes of <
China’s supplies and munitions
of war in her struggle against
Japan. Can Russia continue to
supply both China and Germany
and not suffer the want that her
pe'ople often have suffered?
The whole picture is affected
by many factors and influences
from many angles. Major land of
fensives may come later, but in
the meantime the spectacular
and most destructive action is on
the sea — while diplomats and
adroit if not slippery and un
scrupulous diplomats ply their
propaganda and test their wits to
trade the other fellow out of ac
tion through new alliances.
In the meantime debts mount
at the rate of tens if not hun
dreds of millions daily. Who—if
anyone ever will pay them or of
fer any compensation or attempt
to square the accounts other than
in blood.
It may be a long road to the
end—and wise indeed is he who
would predict the end and the
outcome.—Fairbanks News- Min

SOUTHEAST NATIVES
SUGGEST METHOD OF
CONTROLLING LIQUOR
Undiscouraged by failure of
earlier efforts to secure the en
actment of legislation to keep
liquor out of the hands . . . and
Stomachs ... of Alaska Indians1
rni other natives, the Alaska Na
tive Brotherhood, at its annual1
| convention at Sitka last week,
adopted a resolution urging adop
i tion of a permit system for regu
I iat'ng the sale of liquor.
I: is recognized by the Bro
1 iherhood that Indians have a
weakness for intoxicating liquors
and the aim is to keep liquor
from them without otherwise dis
turbing the traffic. After review
ing the general situation and crit
icizing past legislatures for their
failure to do something about it,
the resolution urges enactment
of legislation to regulate the sale
of liquor in Alaska “based upon
! a permit system for both buyer
and seller, containing a clause
against the transfer of such per
mits, and that the legislature pro
hibit the sale of liquor unless it
be by Territorial liquor stores,
and that Congress or our legisla
ture enact the following law,
namely,
“For an Act entitled; ‘An Act
prohibiting the selling of intoxi
cating liquor to residents and in
| habitants of Alaska, providing
! for exceptions thereto, and for
the punishment for violation
i thereof.’
“Be Is Enacted by the Legisla
ture of the Territory of Alaska:
i "Section 1. If any person shall,
! without authority of the United
! States, sell, barter, or give to
any person, any spiritous, malt
or vinous liquor, or alcoholic bev
erage, such prrson shall, upon
conviction thereon, for the first
offense be guilty of a misdemean
or and be fined not less than one
hundred nor more than five hun
dred dollars or be imprisoned in
j the Federal-jail not less than six
! ty days nor more than two hun
dred and fifty days, and upon j
1 each subsequent conviction of a j
{like offense, if the fact of a pre-!
! vious conviction is pleaded in j
the complaint, be guilty of a mis
demeanor and be fined not less
than two hundred and fifty dol
i lars nor more than one thou
sand dollars, or imprisonment in
i the Federal jail not less than
four months nor more than one
, year; provided, however .that
' this Act may be waived and sus
pended by an incorporated city1
j or school district by a majority
I vote of the qualified voters there
! in at a special election if called
within one year after the passage
of this Act, or at any subsequent
regular election.
“Section 2. Any one holding a 1
Federal or Teritorial license au-1
thorized thereunder to deal in i
and with intoxicating liquor who!
violates any of the provisions of I
the preceding section, upon con!
viction thereof, shall have such!
license or licenses immediately j
revoked."
