They have noted the same general remoteness, re-moteness, the same sparse population, the same fiords leading lead-ing up to quiet little towns nestling in pockets between mountain and sea. - Yes, travelers have agreed, Alaska is like Norway. , The ridiculous ease with which German troops seized all important Norwegian ports leads one , to wonder how much farther the similarity to Alaska could be carried. ., ',""', .. : ' ; r'- The Norse were caught flat-footed. They didn't expect to be invaded without warning. They believed that the existence exist-ence of the world's largest fleet, 500 miles closer to Narvik than the German, made it impossible. ; tl But careful advance planning and an utter lack of scruples scru-ples nullified Norwegian defense p!ans, if any. Sudden appearance; ap-pearance; in the harbors of hostile warships and infantry probably brought in on merchant ships -in disguise caused such negligible defenses as there jwere to melt away like snow under the spring sun. At Narvik, for instance, Norwegian land troops present were unable to do anything more as the German troops marched in. than to say "How do you do?'' and then fade quietly out of the picture without firing a shot. Narvik is 200 miles, north of the" Arctic Circle. Every Alaskan port of importance, Nome, Anchorage, Juneau, are farf south of that. Sitka is 1500 miles, Seward ,1900 miles from their military command post, San Francisco. Narvik is only 1000' miles from important British bases. First lesson for the United States in the Norwegian invasion in-vasion is that any country interested in seizing Alaska would not wait for a declaration of war. It would be prepared in advance. If military forces in Alaska are no more alert, no more ready than those of Norway, defense would be impossible. impos-sible. The presence of a fleet 1900 miles away is shown to be no protection at all except for a bitter and costly recapture. With such warnings written in blood, across Scandinavia, the United States would be negligent . indeed to fail to strengtnen AiasKan garrisons ana aeiense measures to a point where any such quick seizure would be unattractive to anyonc.whQ might at .some .future .time consider it.

Would there be greater harmony, do you suppose, if every country fired its political leaders and appointed ap-pointed orchestra leaders in their places?

Daily Herald Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON, April 15 A row between a distillery and the government of Puerto Rico may indirectly be tne means or enamg the- financial crisis that, has plagued the .Virgin Islands for the past decade. , .

Now there's a ray of light on the horizon about, the first to appear , since Herbert Hoover despairingly de-spairingly called the islands a poorhouse. And all because or a row over rum. RUM TAXES . WOULD HELP ' Several years ago' the Bacardi Corporation, makers of rum, built a big distUlery in Puerto Uco. Local distillers got the legislature to. decree that no "foreign'' company com-pany could operate In Puerto Rico without giving up . its foreign name : and trademark. Bacardi went to federal court and got an injunction., On appeal to a mainland main-land circuit court, however, the law was upheld. Appeal has been taken to the Supreme Court, but the Bacardi people have about given giv-en up hope that they can get the law knocked out. . So now Bacardi is threatening to move out of Puerto Rico and set' up shop in the Virgin Islands.
