Wellington, 1011 JCTION THE El Returns from yesterday's primary election, though still fragmentary, show ecnough to establish ~several definite trends. One of th ! interest in 1940. The vote cast is believed to be the largest at any Alaska primary Also shaping up out of the mounting reports is the fact that the Democratic Party, in the face of dire predictions on part of the opposition | has made an actual and impressive gain over 1938 There were rou wic many Democratic as Republican votes cost yesterday in Alaska. Republi- cans will be busy ‘rom now until September tryin to explain that sway. They will say that there were more candidates filed in Democratic primary. | But there were not twic many. They will say the competition was keener among Democratic can- | didates. bably true, for the Democrats i in yestc were running for nomination on a ticket which is going to be elected in Septem- | ber. The Republicans were just running for places on the “other” ticket If Alaska Republicans ever are going to get out | deal of satisfaction in looking over the results. The party’s gain over two years ago is 40 percent in re- turns so far available, The Republican gain is about 25 percent. And this is a Presidential year. Feeling in America | (Cleveland Plain Dealer) | Germany, whose propaganda in the United States has largely been directed to keeping alive isolation- | ist sentiment, has canceled whatever success she may have attained by her lightning invasion of Den- | mark and Norway. The reaction to this new, in- excusable act of aggression will be far reach on this side of the Atlantic, The terms of the United States’ neutiality act will be extended to cover the Scandinavian countries, but no laws can mold the opinion of Americans Their feeling in this matter is a foregone conclusicn, Denmark, Norway and Sweden, along with Finland, have always been held in the highest esteem by Americans. They were countries which urronged their own affairs in admirable fashion and ok no part in the power politics of Europe. They were| models of democrat That they should be destroyed | on the Nazi pretext of “protecting” them, that Ger- many should extend her barbarous government to the | most orderly and civilized countries in Eurcpe, can | only anger free men everywhere. | Isolationism has found its strongest support in |the American middle west. Such states as Wiscon- | sin, Minnesota, Towa, Nebraska and the Dakotas were | long under the impression that the world's affairs | were not America’s affairs, Congressmen from these | states “have been among the strongest spokesmen | for the fallacious idea that Europe could be allowed | to go up in flames without affecting the United | | States. [ | But these states are inhabited largely by people of Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish extrac- | tion. The Finns, of course, changed their minds | about isolation when Russia crossed the Karelian| Isthmus. The other Scandinavians undoubtedly will | e is an unusual voter |now be more inclined to take a less aloof view of | trans-Atlantic matters, | | A recent Gallup poll showed that 84 percent of | !the American public wanted the Allies to win. Only | one percent was in favor of a Nazi victory. Fifteen | | percent were completely neutral and much of that| number came from the isolationist middle west. | recount today would probably reveal a much higher | percentage in favor of an Allied triumph. Thanks| |to his crass indifference to the independence of | | small nations, Adolf Hitler has helped swell the tide |of American sentiment against himself.

On the diplomatic and psychological fronts, the Allies very definitely need a victory of sufficient dimensions to stem the drift of neutral opinion. ® TO SELL that gun, fur- niture, baby carriage, coat, 4 trunk at a profit. ® TO BUY that ice box or rug, piano or sult, car or accordian at low cost. ® TO RENT that room, garage, apartment or that house to desirable tenants. ® TO HIRE that maid, gardener, nurse, chauffeur, cook, laundress, ete. the Want Ads : MEAN TO JUNEAU .. s EVERY DAY you can notice the in»- creasing number of these little ads in the back of our paper — want ads!
