Chamber Holds
Noon Luncheon
The regular meeting of the
Board of Directors of the North
western Alaska Chamber of Com
meree met at the North Pole
Bakery with Tom Givan as Chair
man. After the reading of the
minutes which were approved,
the following reports were re
ceived:
Taylor Road Completed Shortly
Chairman Slack, Committee on
Roads reported that owing to the
fact that shortly the grading of
the entire road from Bunker
Hill to Taylor Creek will be
completed and the graveling of
said road will be completed up to
Fox Bar which will leave only
the remainder to Taylor Creek
to be graveled next year, strong
effort should be made to get
sufficient money appropriated to
complete the graveling for this
coming season. He also recom
mended that the necessary im
provements of bridges and re
pairs to the rairoad be made in
order to accomodate the ever-in
creasing traffic and tonnage ov
er the railroad. He also recom
mended that the road to Solo
mon via the inland route over
the headwaters of the Eldorado,
Flambo and Bonanza rivers be
worked on. And to also extend
the Snake River road to Stewart
River with the intention of con
necting it with the Teller Road
which is now about completed to
Gold Run.
Ask For Mail From Anchorage
Chairman Givan, Committee
on Mails and Telegraph reported
that they will present very short
ly two resolutions, one to cover
the establishment of a mail route
from Anchorage, McGrath, Unal
akleet, Nome, thereby saving sev
eral days on the transportation
of mail to Nome besides serving
a large portion of the Second
Division now without service of
any note. The other resolution is
to request that all classes of
mails be carried in summer and
winter by air in order to avoid
the poor service in the delivery
of papers, periodicals and parcel
post where there hs been only
two deliveries this summer.
Nome Runway Needs Graveling
Chairman Miller, Committee
on Aviation reported that ow
ing to the present rate of set
tling of the airport runway it
will be necessary to have an ap
propriation of about $20,000 to
spread at least another two feet
of gravel on said field and it is
evident that it should be done
soon on account of the present
weather that has prevailed re
cently. It has softened the field
to such an extent that i.t is nec
essary to have this done as soon
as possible. It is recommended
that effort should be made to
have at least $1000 appropriated
for the immediate repair of the
Dahl Creek field, $1500 for the
Pilgrim Springs field, as well as
another $1000 for the Taylor
Creek field as all these fields are
becoming dangerous due to lack
of maintainence funds.
Chairman Lomen, Committee
on Mining and New Industries,
recommended that the Commis
sioner of Mines for the Territory
of Alaska be furnished with larg
er appropriations and a larger
personnel for the Nome office to
carry on the good work of the
[Department in the investigation
,of the mining resources of Al
aska.
■ Petition for Delegate to Senate
The Committee on Legislation
through Chairman Leroy Sulli
van, reported that the Governor
should be petitioned to use his
best effort and endeavor to have
enacted the necessary legislation
in Congress for the Territory, in
obtaining a Delegate to the Na
tional Senate with the same pcvw
er and right as our Delegate Di
mond has in the House of Repre
sentatives.
The Secretary was instructed
to draft the above recommenda
tions and suibmit same to the
Governor for his consideration.
The next meeting will be the
Get-together Luncheon to be
held at the Nevada Grill.

Nazi Propaganda
Fails Win Pern
Government and People Found '
Opposed to Totalitarianism
Despite German Efforts
JAPAN HELD CHIEF DANGER
Attack From Pacific Feared —
Defense Policy Is Based On
Cooperation with U. S.
j
By Russell B. Porter
(Continued from issue of Mon
day, September 16, 1940)
Anti-Japanese Feeling
Another indication of Peruvian
sentiment is the growing anti
Japanese feeling, reflected last
May in widespread attacks on Jap ^
anese. Many were hurt and much j
property damaged after rumors'
that Japanese had smuggled
large quantities of arms and am
munition into Peru.
Peruvians have regarded the
Japanese as a greater menace
than the Germans since the long
Peruvian coastline is exposed to
attack from the Pacific. Here Per
uvian and United States interests
coincide, military experts say.
since Peru’s northern Coast is
strategically important with tine
harbor sites which the United
States could not afford to let fall
into the hands of an enemy.
Being an unmilitaristic coun-1
try with foreign trade depend
ent on the Panama Canal, Peru
recognizes the vital necessity, for
the sake of self preservation, of
her cooperation with the United
States for hemisphere defense.
It is this pro-Americanism, bas
ed on mutual interests for mili
tary and economc defense, that
the Nazi fifth columnists are at
tempting to break down with the
aid of the Japanese and Italian
colonies. Following the same pat
tern as elsewhere, the Nazis have
a large propaganda bureau dir
ected by the German Legation
and Consulate, financed by con
tributions from the German col
ony and staffed by the Trans
ocean News Service experts
whose heads came here osten
siby to cover the Lima confer
ence before the war.
Transocean has a large radio
receiving station here. It picks
up propaganda from Berlin, and
Germans boast they have new
type broadcasting stations dis
mantled ready to be erected as
soon as Germany wins the war.
They will be used, it is said, to
flood South America with pro
paganda the like of which has
never been seen. Recently the
propaganda has been taking on a
more American slant as an in
dication of what it will be if
victorious Nazis launch econom
ic warfare against the United
States for Central and South Am
erican trade.
Here the Nazis take the same (
line as the Apra party, which I
makes denunciation of United
States “imperialism” the princip;
al part of its program. Although J
the Apristas are outlawed as an j
alleged communistic organiza
tion with international affilia
tions, they are still strong among
the large Indian and mestizo |
working class and agricultural
population.
The German Minister, Dr.
Willy Nokel, spends a large part
of his time protesting against Am
erican and British films that he
regards as anti-totalitarian. Be
sides the British propaganda
film "The Lion has Wings,” his
complaints have resulted in stop
ping such American pictures as
“Confessions of a Nazi Spy,” “Es
pionage Agent” and “March of
Time Refugees of Today and To
morrow.” The legation also pro
tested against a speech by the
rector of the University of San
Marco welcoming American sum
mer students last month.
Germans show their propagan
da films by invitation at private
showings for important Peruv
ions and diplomats.
Carl Dedering, the German con
sul general here, has been act
ively propagandizing anti-Semet
ism and is charged with having
brought pressure on German
firms to discharge Jewish em
poyes last year.
The Nazi propaganda bureau
has been so enlarged since the
war that it has overflowed the
legation and consulate and taken
quarters on the top floor of the
Bolivar Hotel, from which Trans
ocean distributes bulletins, pam
phlets, etc., to newspapers, radio
stations, business houses, govern
ment offices and diplomats.
Italians Less Active
The German colony is a well
organized unit of about 3,000,
mostly business men and their
families. The Italian colony is
larger, about 7,000, but less close
ly organized, as Italians tend to
intermarry and become assimil
ated in Peruvian national life.
The fascist organization is re
ported to be headed by the press
attache of the Italian Legation,
Toto Giurato and Donato di
Malio, publisher of a monthly
Italian magazine. Both also came
here to “cover” the Lima confer
ence. They conduct totalitarian
propaganda, but it is not regard
ed as so effective or dangerous
as that of the Nazis.
The Italians include many of
the wealthiest men in Peru, who
for years have wielded great in
fluence through control of large
banking and commercial organiz
ations. This power has been less
ened during the Prado adminis
tration, which also recently dis
missed the Italian mission that
trained the Peruvian police.
What is regarded as the great
est fifth column menace in Peru
is the Japanese colony, estimated
at 30,000. This is a closely knit
organization of government of
ficials, business men, small store
keepers, farmers and gardeners
forming an “ethnic island” in the
midst of the Peruvian nation. It
is established to the satisfaction
of responsible Americans here
that Japanese Army and Navy
Reserve officers are here in con
siderable numbers and that re
ports of Japanese fishing boats
taking soundings up and down
the Peruvian coast have a fact
ual foundation.
Japanese Immigrants Barred
That the Peruvian Govern
ment shares the popular fear of
the Japanese is shown in the fact
that immigration recently has
been suspended. President Man
ue] Prado's speech opening Con
gress recently emphasized the
danger from the doctrine of dou
ble nationality held by the Jap
anese and Germans. In the same
speech he stressed Peruvian sup
port of inter-American coopera
tion for hemisphere defense.
Among Peruvians there are
some highy placed officially and
in business and the press who
are mentioned as pro-Nazi or
pro-Fascist. One is a Spanish
marquis, a (friend of Generalis
simo Francisco Franco, and an
other is a Japanese, influential
among wealthy Peruvians. Oth
ers are related by marriage to
German and Italian party mem
bers here. Members of a leading
newspaper publishing family al
so are included.
These all are regarded as more
of a potential than an actual men
ace but there is fear of what will
happen if Germany should win
the war before Pan-Americanism
has time to establish adequate
bulwarks against the fifth col
umn. There is a saying in Lima,
“He throws the stone but hides
the hand,” which expresses the
uneasy fear of the man in the
street that conditions are not as
good as they appear on the sur
face.
