IMMSIA AND THAT
#U» ALASKA DEAL.
A writer n the Toronto Daily;
mobe and Mail raises the angle i
ml the Russian view on the deali
of years ago whereby Uncle Sam |
Wok over Alaska. Is there more j
Wan a mere historical reference'
Implied. Here's what the Toronto i
writer says:
“O, isolation can you see . . .?
"Pravda last summer ran a
tories of articles on Alaska. They
explained how a corrupt Russian
Rnperial Government had sold
Russia’s Alaskan birthright with
Out asking the Russian people’s
leave for a few paltry millions
of American gold. It also men
tioned that the shortest distance,
ketween Russia and Alaska is on
if fifty miles.
"That’s all . . . so far.”
THE NON-COMBATANT
Mussolini, neutral lad.
Tell me, kid, can you be had?
ie your neutral mood intense
Or a posture on a fence?
Are you keeping out of war,
Are you sticking to the shore,
Might you just be standing by;
‘Til you see who gets the pie?
Mussolini, on the fence,
Keeping out of either trench,1
Are you neutral as can be
Or just waiting ‘til you see?
Hitler did a thoughful bit—
He just said “You’re out of it.
Now I am not needing you,”
But suppose he calls, “Yoo
hoo!”? . . .
What if Adolf, sorely pressed,
Phones you, terribly distressed
Saying. “Muss, I’m in a hole;
“You recall, I hope, your role”
What is he recalls to you
That you’re in the axis, too;
What if he, from all his fronts,;
Wigwags, “Mussie, come at
once!”? . . .
s
Mussolini, there you stand,
With the matter well in hand;
You are nicely out of it—
Are you comfty where you sit?
Are you nice and happy there
In that big, safe neutral chair?
Are you, maybe, ill at ease?
Have you conscience trouble,
please?
Did you know, Benito that
On a torrid spot you sat?
Did you think the allies might
At your first direct their fight?
To the axis did you cool
Just because you were no fool?
Never mind; that’s over now—
This is what I’d like to know;
Are you neutral through and
through
Or just thinking what to do?
If Herr Hitler should next week
Plainly hit a winning streak—
If his score was clearly plus,
Would yo^ sti,ll be [neutral,
Muss?
If the nazis got quite far
Our in front in this here war
Would you say, “It’s not for me,
I’m for strict neutrality.”? . . .
If the allies, getting hot,
Rang the bell and got the pot,
Would you still say, “No play
ball!”? . . .
I’m just wondering, that’s all!

ordered to be paid claimants.

about half a billion in “paper
value” of German republic bonds

MAN “FLIES”
BY OWN FORCE
For the first time, a human be
ing has been able to lift him
self off the ground in a heavier
than-air machine propelled sole
ly by normal muscular energy.
The feat was made in a goro
cycle designed by Dr. W. Fred
erick Gerhardt Professor of Aero
nautics.
The goro-cycle, a two-bladed
variable pitch airscrew of 14 ft.
diameter, mounted on a vertical
drive shaft is driven through .a
pinion gear by orginary bicycle
foot pedals. Disclaiming any
commercial possibilities for his
machine, Dr. Gerhardt points out
that its maximum flight eleva
tion, under perfect conditions,
would be about 12 feet from the
ground.
Proof of Labor Blanks can now
be had at the 13:>me Nugget office
