The way Hitler declares war is to ac
cuse a nation of attacking Germany. When
he entered Poland without declaration of
war, he simply claimed that Polish regu
lar soldiers had fired on German territory.
His excuse for going to war with Russia
was the charge that Russian patrols had
penetrated into the reich's territory and
started shooting.
Now he charges that the United States
has attacked Germany. By that he hopes
to force Japan into war against the U. S.
The Axis agreement is that when any of the
contracting powers is attacked, the oth
ers shall go to war against the attacker.
Nazi submarines sank American ships, so
Hitler HOPES we are at war. We are -but
Germany and Japan are both trying to "cov
er too much territory" and Japan evidently
has very little faith in Hitler and is
smart enough to foresee that if she wages
war with the United States she will lose
so much "face" that she will probably nev
er again have a face to lose.
A native, citizen of Anchorage,victim
of tuberculosis, during sub-zero weather
last week, starved and froze in a lean-to
which he had put together with some slabs
he had collected from the town dump.
If we had heard that from any less au
thority than KFQD we'd have stuck to it
until the cows came home that such a dis
graceful, inhumane occurrence could not
happen within the town limits of any town
in Alaska,
We have reason to be thankful that the
1941 Thanksgiving Day finds Americans with
turkey and dressing, cranberry sauce, cel
ery, sweet potatoes, many other vegetables,
pumpkin pie, mince pie, fresh fruits, an
assortment of breads, cheese, wines, in
fact - too much to eat.
Consider Englandl With the aid of
shiploads of American food, the rationed
breakfast for lords and ladies, every class
of living in England, is two little pieces
of bacon, two little tomatoes, a slice of
bread and a tiny piece of butter. When
you go to dine at a man's house you eat or
share his ration and he has to make the best
of it.
Food for school children and working
men is prepared at scattered points , put
in large thermos cans and rushed to feeding
centers. You can buy a meal at a commun
ity feeding center for 18 or 20 cents of
our money. If you prove you haven't got
the money, they will give you a meal.
