PAGE TO THE MICHIGAN DAILY '9tTU-rhi)jAT, AxPRii,12, 194 Vital Alaskan Bases Preserve Communications, Baxter Says By BUD BRIMMER Alaska's air and naval bases are the most important single factor in preserving Our vital lines of commun- ication with this Territory and, in turn, these bases .and communica- tion lines are exceedingly vital if we are to use Alaska as a poten- tial springboard for an attack up- on Japan, Prof. Dow V. Baxter of the School of Forestry and Conser- vation said in an interview yester- day. In explaining what the war means to Alaska, Professor Baxter was ap- prehensive of a possible enemy block- ade around the Territory since that land may well be the world's next battleground. He pointed out that the coastline from Dixon's Entrance to the Aleutian Islands is thorough- ly fortified, and upon these air bases depends the future of the resident Americans. Professor Baxter, who has spent the many field seasons studying for- est pathology in this region, said that "although most of Alaskan friends were expecting a war with Japan long before Pearl Harbor, they have been unable to supply them- selves with necessities over long peri- f 1 i 1 1 7 Speakers Ask Socia1 Change For Just Peace Professors Say Dynamic Fight Against Fascisin Everywhere Is Needed (Continued from Page 1) I ods." Because there are no roads through Canada, vital supplies to the canneries, mines, and the people themselves must be carried along the sea lanes which are now guarded by the Army and Navy bases. As an example of Alaskan depend- ence upon this country for certain staples, he emphasized that each year1 the Terirtory imports many millions of dollars worth of American prod-t ucts. "It is evident," he said, "thatj this country, which is potentially one of the world's next battlefields, is wholly dependent upon waterways forY the transportation of supplies to them and the conveyance of war minerals and other products of her industries to the United States. The canning industry is especially con-Y cerned." "However, as long as the air fields at Kodiak, Anchorage and Dutch E Harbor still stand," he declared, strik- ing an optimistic note, "a blockade is not very likely." The function of these bases to1 facilitate air transportation as well as to protect it should not be over- looked, he also mentioned. Many of the large boats formerly used to transport essentials for the Alaskan peace-time needs are now being em- ployed to supply military garrisons,, and freighting material by air may become a greater necessity than ever Even prior to the war-times planes were used within the Territory to, transport machines, parts, and heavy mining equipment to isolated areas. While discussing the possibilities of war reaching this northern land, Professor Baxter felt that the cli- mate of the country would be a fac- tor in the determination of the suc- cess or failure of air protection against the enemy. "The visibility at the time of conflict is exception- ally important," he claimed, "for those Alaskan fogs along the coasts will have much to do with defensive or offensive air tactics." illfel To Give Humor Show Proceeds Will Be Giveni To War Relief Groups Applause by the audience will be the criterion for award of the cup for the best act in "Hillelzapoppin' " Hillel Foundation's stunt show which will open at 8 p.m. Friday at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. The cup will be the least incentive for excellence, for, more important, the total gate of the show will be given to various war relief agencies. The major portion will go to the Bomber Scholarship Fund. Seven acts in all will comprise the show. The individual acts will be presented by fraternities, sororities and League houses. "Hillelzapoppin'" replaces the Hil- lel Players' annual major production. The suspension of the play was made as part of Hillel Foundation's pro- gram to aid the war effort. The acts in "Hillelzapoppin'" in- clude humor, satire and "drama." But even the acts aid the war effort with one double or nothing quiz for de- fense stamps. Sergeant Takes Girl; Journal Gets Srgeant ATLANTA, April 17.--UP)-After several office boys joined the Army, Cancer Control Body To Ho S. L. A. Marshall, Nekws C.oinmejilator', To Tfaii. Here Tuesday Oti War In the first public lecture ever to be included in the annual campaign of the Women's Field Army for the Control of Cancer, S. L. A. Marshall, radio commentator and critic for the Detroit News, will speak on "Our Part In the War Today" at 8:15 p.m. Tuesday in Hill Auditorium. Marshall, well-known to radio and newspaper audiences, is also the au- thor of several recent books on mili- tary subjects. Among these are "Blitzkrieg," "How the Army Organ- ized for War" and "Armies On Wheels." His lecture will include excerpts from his varied career as an Army officer and newspaper man. He is a veteran of the first World War, having served as a'lieutenant in France and Italy with the Army En- gineering Corps. In 1917, while in- strutting at Camp Travis, he origi- nated'the hand grenade throw which is still in use. s His career as a newspaper man has been an eventful one. In 1936-37 he covered the Spanish Civil War for the Detroit News and acted as spe- cial writer on Mexican affairs and military policy for the North Ameri- can Newspaper Alliance. The funds from the lecture, along with other receipts from the month- long campaign, will be used to furth- er the research, education and cure of cancer. Part of the money will be donated to the two local hospitals, and the rest will be sent to the State and National headquarters of the Society. The purpose of the drive, under the direction of Mrs. H. Marvin Pol- lard, commander of the Ann Arbor unit, is to acquaint the public with the real facts about cancer. Canis- ters have been placed in schools for donations, the downtown business districts have been canvassed, and the local women's clubs have been contacted. In a recent radio address sponsored by the Women's Field Army, Dr. F. J. Hodges, head of the roentgenology department of the University Hospi- tal, stated that eventual victory in the war against cancer could be won only through public knowledge of the disease. K'ir-Seeley To Get Navy 'E' Peinaii The Navy's recognition for out- standing industrial achievement, the "E" pennant will soon be awarded to the King-Seeley Corp.

The second plant in the county to be officially recognized for industrial excellence, King-Seeley is the first plant in Ann Arbor to receive the coveted "E" pennant. Ceremonies concerned with the presentation are expected to be announced next week. Exhibit Of French Art Ends ror In Detroit DAILYOFFICIAL .ULLETI-N SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1942 VOL. LIT.

The program is: 1. Universal democracy and civil liberties. 2. Limitation of national sovereign- ty-particularly in economic matters. 3. Sharp reduction of trade bar- riers. 4. Internationalization of capital placement, which would include an international bank. 5. Free movement of population. 6. Cultural but not political au- tonomy for minority groups in the small nations of Europe. 7. Internationalization of colonies with the promise of future independ- ence. 8. Dual access to raw materials. 9. Minimum guaranteed living standard for all-"it is criminal to allow anyone to go undernourished in these times." 10. National and regional economic planning with mixed public controls and private enterprise. New Society Kingsley said that the society which would come from such a pro- gram as he outlined would be neither socialism nor capitalism but some- thing entirely new. "It is," he said, "a large order, but it is the basic minimum for democ- racy and for peace. It cannot be realized on an international level first, however. The changes can come only if they are first brought about inside the nations-especially in America, for we will be the only nation in position at the end of the war to assist in the economic recon- struction of the world." Never Compromise Dr. McMahon also blasted in his talk any thought of a negotiated peace. Terming it "a cancerous thought," he said that "we must never compromise and never appease those who collaborate with the Axis." "We cannot be friends with the friends of Hitler," he declared in call- ing for the immediate capture of lichy-held islands such as Mada- gascar. "These may be taken easily if we do so within 72 hours but if we wait two weeks the task will be infinitely greater."
