YOUNG MEN’S DILEMMA
Literally hundreds of thousands of young men are
trying to puzzle out their futures, with the advent of
a national emergency which may call them to their
countryV services. National Guardsmen have only to
wait and learn their fate. Reserve officers are subject j
to call, but at present are only being "urged” to re- j
quest active duty.
Enlisted veterans, if they signed the papers that
make them reservists, are subject to call. In some
specialties they arc being urged to volunteer for active
duty. If they have been in organized reserve units
since the war. they are much more likely to be j
called soon.
And back of all these is the great reservoir of
young, able-bodied man power, subject to conscrip
tion. About lv, million of these already are classi
fied as 1-A. Nearly 2'j million more are registered,!
but not yet classified.
There is no rule of thumb that provides good i
advice for all the young men who are pondering this I
[ problem. Young reserve officers and young enlisted
reservists with useful specialized skills might do
well to ask for active duty, on the theory that they
will be called anyway, and might as well get back Into
uniform ahead of others, with the seniority that gives
[ them.
Older reserve officers surely are entitled to think
twice. In the main, they have greater civilian re
sponsibilities, would make greater personal sacrifices
I to return to duty, and actually would have less mili
tary value except in unusual cases.
The healthy young American in his twenties can
[get abundant advice for the asking in all quarters.
Some of It will be factual, some cynical, some inspira
tional. But he still has to work the matter out for
himself, at least until such time as the emergency
may mount and the decision may be made for him.
Canadian Coast Guard
(Prince Rupert Daily News)
Establishment of a coast guard service on the
coasts of Canada is another thing for which we have
long agitated, the Prince Rupert Chamber of Com
merce and the Daily News having pioneered in the
movement, so it is satisfactory to have confirmation
from Ottawa of the decision to create a united rescue
service co-ordinating existing departmental and service
facilities with the Royal Canadian Air Force, logically
enough, as the nerve center. »
This is a different set-up, or course, rrom the
straight coast guard such as that of the United
States. Yet there is no reason why, if properly
knit and controlled, it should not prove quite effective.
Vessels of one department or another, in summer at
least, are dispersed pretty well along the coast and
among the islands where they would be ready for call
in case of emergency. Possibly, in winter when the
accidents are liable to happen and when potential
rescue vessels would normally be in more central loca- I
tions, it might be advisable to have some reassignments 1
of surface craft at points of vantage. There would
also appear to be places such as Prince Rupert, the
Queen Charlotte Isalnds, Port Hardy where aircraft
might be permanently stationed. All this of course,
is something to be worked out under the scheme of
co-ordination under the basic policy.
In any case, it is gratifying that something definite
and apparently effective is being done to meet the
situation. If propertly organized, it should work out
very well and be a great boon and safeguard to ships
and those who serve upon them.
A lot of Americans operate on a budget that calls |
for 30 per cent for housing, 30 per cent for clothing,
40 per cent for food and 20 per cent for amusement,
which adds up to 120 per cent.—(Everett Herald).
The Washington
Merry-Go Round
————— t
iContinued from Page One)
tells—partly in his book “Lucky
Forward '—how Gen. Walker's 20th
Corps was ordered to take Trier,
but reached the Moselle River and
sat down. Walker’s bridge equip
ment had got lost, and, instead of
improvising some way to get across
the river, he let his troops wait
nine costly hours during which the
Germans hf WiTVe umh up re
inforcem .its.
As a result of this slowdown,
SHAEF demanded that the 10th
Armored Division under Walker be
transieri d back to SHAEF and
kept in reserve; and Bob Allen
graphically describes General Pat
ton's session with Gen. Omar Brad
ley in which he lined up his gen
erals and had them explain why
they wa ited to push ahead.
Patton even caneu tne roll of his
generals, and when he got to Gen.
Walker, a plump, .pleasant litCle
man, Patton stormed:
“You want to fight, don't you,
Johnny?”
"Yes, sir; yes, sir," replied Johnny,
“Oh. Johnny is a fighting s-o-b,”
Patton said to General Bradley.
“Aren't you a fighting s-o-b, John
ny?"
“Yes, sir; yes, sir,” replied Gen.
Walker.
It should be noted, of course,
that it was no disgrace to be
bawled out by Georgie Patton.
Oklahoma Drys
Oklahoma's Senator Elmer Thom
as was amused, puzzled, but pleased
when he heard that the United
Dry Leaders of Oklahoma had en
dorsed him for re-election. His
amusement was doubtless due to
the fact that he is well known on
Capitol Hill as a two-handed
drinker and connoisseur of good
bourbon.
“What : it all about?” the sen
ator joked with Dyke Cullum, his
broker, when news of Oklahoma
dry support reached him in Wash
ington. I don't know what these
people want to back me for,” he
said. ' There must be some catch
in it.”
Senator Thomas was supposed to
return to Oklahoma to campaign
on Monday, but on that day broker
Cullum went up to New York to
buy soya bean oil, laid, and short
ening oil which he figures will go
up in price as a result of the war
news.
Meanwhile, Joycette Jones, the
pretty indian princess who is sec
retary of Thomas’s agriculture
committee and a close friend of
Dyke Cullum's, is counted on to
swing the Indian vote in Okla
homa. To help bring out that vote.
Thomas has cashed quite a few of
his stocks and bonds lately, but
Cullum seems confident that he
can win all this back by taking a
ride on the rising price of lard
and other fats which always get
6caree during the war.
Note—in Capitol cloakrooms. Sen.
Thomas, who toured Europe (and
Sweden > last summer, is sometimes
call'd the battle-scarred veteran
cl the European cocktail circuit."
Home Front Mobilization
S-.i t Symington, top mobilizer
for the domestic front, has picked
flop Smith head of Pioneer Air-:
lines in Texas, to be vice chairman
of his National Security Resources
Board.
In so doing, Symington has side
stepped a request from labor that
a labor leader be vice chairman.
This was the strategy Roosevelt
followed in naming Sidney Hill
man of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers and William Knudsen of
General Motors as co-chairmen of
the Office of Production Manage
ment.
In a session with labor leaders,
Symington explained:
"The vice chairman of this out
' fit has got to be a second me.
i He has to represent me in pushing
legislation on Capitol Hill; he has
to know how I think. I’ve got to
have a man who is close to me to
fill that job.”
Instead, Symington invited labor
leaders to appoint one of their
number either as his assistant or
as head of one of his bureaus. He
asked for the best man they could
find, and promised that he would
be an integral and important part
of the resources board.
Incidentally, Symington came out
of the meeting tremendously im
pressed at labor’s backing of the
government and its opposition to
Communism.
"These men really know what it
j is to battle Communism," he re
marked to an associate afterward.
“Walter Reuther and Jim Carey
(mainsprings of the United Auto
1 Workers and the International El
ectrical Workers Union) have been
shot at by Communists. They really
know what this fight is about even
better than businessmen whose op
position to Communism is more
theoretical. We’re lucky to have
men like them leading labor to
day."
Note—some observers are won
dering whether Texas Bob Smith’s
appointment as resource board vice
chairman- will mean that future
war plants will go to Texas as
was so frequently the case when
Jesse Jones had charge of war
plant financing.
However, Symington has told in
siders this will not be the case.
In the first place, few new war
plants will be built; and, contrary
to earlier reports, it will not be
necessary to take over the Willow
Run plant now operated by Henry
Kaiser unless we get into a global
war. Furthermore, Symington is
now talking to representatives of
depressed areas, such as Scranton
and Wilkesbarre, Pa., where about
40,000 are unemployed, with a view
to putting war industry there rather
than in prosperous areas.

20 YEARS AGO $TTE empire [
JULY 22, 1930
Enroute to Fairbanks to visit friends and relatives for a few weeks,
Mr. and Mrs. Harry G. Watson sailed on the Aleutian for Seward.
Mrs L. W. Kilburn of Douglas and son, Dickie, who had been so
journing at Port Alexander for three weeks, returned on the Pacific,
accompanied by Tyra Wahto, who was spending most of the summer

Felix Gray was having the front porch of his Douglas home en
closed with glass and panels as protection against the weather. Con
tractor A1 Lundstrom was in charge of the work.
Starr Calvert of the San Juan Fish Company disembarked from
the Yukon enroute to visiting the company's interests to the westward.
Sunk, raised, towed and repaired, the cannery tender Fairweather

She had been raised the next day and towed to Funter Bay for repairs.
The Fairweather returned to Hawk Inlet under her own power.
Renowned as a harpist, Miss Aleece Graces, arrived from Seattle
