Facts About YOUR1
National Guard
How well the National defense
act of 1916 accomplished its mis
sion is demonstrated by the ease
and speed with which National
Guard regiments were redistrib
uted into the combat divisions for
the American Expedit ionary
Forces of 1917 and 1918. Two
fifths *of the divisions off the AEF
weer National Guard Divisions,
and the 11 Guard Divisions which
saw action spent many days in
combat. The Guard brought 380,
095 men into Federal Service for
World War I.
National Guardsmen pierced
the Hindenberg Line, helped
crush the St. Mihiel salient and
smashed to victory through the
Meuse-Argonne. The records of
the German Supreme Command,
released after World War I noted
that of the eight American Divi
sions listed by the Germans as su
perior or excellent, six were Na
tional Guard Divisions.
The First Alaska Scout Battal
ion which is your local unit of the
National Guard is currently ful
filling a mission of importance in
Northwest Alaska. You can play
an important part in this vital
program. Inquiry can be made at
the Armory located in Nome and

suring Mr. Truman to lend his
voice to their vote drive.
The White House said the St.

bees, butterflies, moths, termites,
mosquitoes, grasshoppers, bettles,

U. S. May Give
Philippine Gov’t
Quarter Billion
WASHINGTON, i/Pj—The U. S.
proposed Saturday a $250,000,000
five-year economic aid program
for the Philippines provided the
island republic makes sweeping
reforms in its government.
The proposal was sent by Presi
dent Truman to Philippine Presi
dent Quirido in Manila. Details of
the plan for dealing with an eco
nomic crisis were laid down in the
long-secret report of a special
survey mission headed by Daniel
W. Bell, a former undersecretary
of the treasury. It was made pub
lie Saturday both here and in Ma
nila.
Oh the basis of its two-month
on-the-spot survey last summer,'
Bell’s mission said blyntly that
the Philippine government had
failed to deal effectively with its
postwar problems.
“Inefficiency and even corrup
tion in the government service are
widespread,” the mission report
ed.
In submitting the 53,000-word
report, Mr. Truman told Quirido
that there must be a definite un
I derstanding on reform measures
to be undertaken by his govern
ment before the recommendations
are submitted to Congr* ss.
The ipission outlined a detailed
seven-point program based large
ly on Filipino self-help. It pro
vided for tight U. S. supervision
over the spending of the proposed
$250,000,000 in lo&ns and grants.
