Mothers as a rule are pretty good soldiers and good soldiers are reluctant to display their glories or sor- rows before the world. It is probable that tomorrow’s national observance will tend to wring the hearts of a great many mothers whose sons lie buried in foreign graves. But it may be that the public honors which will be showered upon their sons from platform and pulpit will more than offset the grief which is bound to be revived in them individually There is, however, a greater significance of the occasion. If the observance of Gold Star Mothers’ Day can bring home again to the nation that war, no matter how victorious, usually settles nothing, leads to nothing but more carnage and results primarily in suffering, it may be influential in deterring us as a nation of ever again journeying to foreign shores for warfare. National defense is necessary; getting en- tangled in foreign alliances will lead only to another, Mothers such those to honor generation Gold Star whom we tomorrow pay of as HAVE YOU H \D \Ol R ( RAPEFRUIT?

The United States Department of Agriculture bulletin, “Daily Diges reports that Dr. Irving Sher- wood Wright of New York told the opening session of the annual alumni extension course of George- town Medical School in Washington that experiments have shown that Vitamin C, which is amply con-| tained in citrus fruits and certain other edibles, seems to have a beneficial effect upon monkeys infected with infantile paralysis.

It is welcome news that these far-sighted members of the house appropriations commit- tee favor an expansion of facilities at Sand Point to make this one of three major naval air bases on the Pacific Coast. The navy can go far along other lines in making ‘the Pacific Northwest and the Nation safe for our citizens. One needed step is the adoption of a defin- ite program under which vessels of the United States fleet will be kept in the North Pacific at least half of each year, familiarizing officers and men with the waters in which they would operate in the event of war. Another, and even more lmpux(ant is the Editor and Manager the EMPIRE Second Class six months, in advance, $6.00; | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, SATURDAY, SEPT. 28, 1937 establishment of a naval base, in the Aleutians or elsewhere in Alaska, to allow the intercep- tion of hostile warships and aircraft before they could approach our shores The Post-Intelligencer is aware proposals are rec merited consideration in the highest quarters, Probably a great deal more been done in both directions than the general public realizes | But there are compelling | ficials of every branch of our government should keep these object constantly in | mind until they have been achieved | that both 1wing has reasons why of- Why the Exodus (Fairbanks News-Miner) Why is Alaska again compelled to now witn and early winter exodus of thousands of to the States—thousands going out to spend hard-earned summer wages in a land that has interest in them except in getting their money. In the spring they will come back broke—their money gone and to start all over again with the empty |poke. In the meantime they have gotten nowhere Year after year, this spectacle prevails. Alaska is drained white of funds and resources that should go into building a land of homes, opening permanent | industries—creating wealth for ‘the country and a market for the great supply bases of the Outside that is infinitely more important to them than the transient harvest from winter visitors. | This long-standing abuse of the annual exodus must be overcome before Alaska will come fully her own | Northern European countries with populations o millions north of the sixtieth parallel—farther north than the entire region of the Alaskan panhandle— have demonstrated that the sub-Arctic can and does provide a field for permanent year-round habitation and activity i1 ‘The hard-rock mining concerns of Interior Alaska ; are gradually developing the necessary vear-round in- dustry of Alaska. Such enterpris as those of the operators who have just taken over the Kantishna quartz properties and will work this winter, are on !the right line. The winter operations of the several quar miners in the vicinity of Fairbanks are on the same order. There are many opportunities in this realm to prospect and open quartz. Prospectors claim owners, leasers and operators along this line will \be well rewarded in many, if not most, instances Trapping affords another lucrative winter cupation. Even those who remain in the country serve their resources and earnings rather than scatter them in other fields do much to keep the money cir- culating at home and available here for spring ac- | tivities., Prospecting in many forms can be c winter. A little s oc- carried on here in by resolution to sta) with the country in winter—as thousands did before | the days of easy transportation—will help boost Alaska forward to permanency and a state of prosper- ity infinitely greater than anything she has ever known in the past or can boast today. Make up your mind. Stay with the country thought, followed Be a real Norseman and grow up with the country and | reap its rewards. \u‘(mn of l’mpdgmdu‘.’ (New Ymk Times) Our intellectual leaders agree that we are a most propaganda-ridden pecple. “We flatter ourselve: remarks ohe of the speakers at Williamstown, “with ‘the thought that in this Republic the majority of the citizens understand and shape national policies, when as a matter of fact there are few nations more propa- ganda-ridden, more thoroughly in the hands of sinis- ‘ter minorities.” He then went on. to say how clouds of propaganda were making us mouth conscious, liquor conscious and class conscious. | It may be so; and yet, when we compare our- selves with some foreign nations, we may find some 'reasons for patriotic consolation. If one manufac- turer tells us insistently that his shaving cream pro- vides the softest and smoothest shave, his rivals are ljust as insistent that it is their respective shaving creams that are kindest to the face. The result of {these conflicting claims is to breed skepticism in the most credulous. Because there is no unanimity, the consumer is forced to decide for himself. This breeds the habit not of docile acceptance but of deciding among comveting doctrines, It may even breed the habit of experimenting for one's self. | There is a further not unimportant merit in the American system. The individual is not compelled to believe the claims of any manufacturer, or any radio or motion-picture propaganda. If he doubts what he hears, and says so, he is not imprisoned as (a deviationist or executed for sabotage. What is truly | vicious is not propaganda but a monopoly of it. When we are asked to suppress any “propaganda,” let us be sure that we are not merely being asked to shut down on one side of a controversy and leave the field |free to the other. A population long subjected to germs of a cer- |tain type begins to develop some immunity to them. ITt might occur to some of those who are in such | |dreadful fear of propaganda that the more Ameri- |cans are bombarded by it the more easily they will recognize it in its various forms and the more prac- ticed they are 'likely to become in dealing with it. |1f Americans - could be thoroughly protected from “propaganda” (which is usually our invidious name for the other fellow’s ideas), is it certain that that pro- tection would work only good and no harm? Might it not be useful to apply in fthis case the logic thati | Milton applied in his noble plea against censorship: | | “I cannot praise a fugitive and cloistered virtue, |unexercised and unbreathed, that never sallies out |and sees her adversary, but slinks out of the race where ‘lhdt immortal garland is to be run for, not without dust and heat.” | | those who stay with | into | and con- | HAPPY BIRTHDAY The Empire extends congratula- tions and best wishes today, their birthday anniversary, to the follow- ing: SFPTEMBI‘ R 25 Mrs. J.
