A report of the Customs Service shows that dur- ing the year ended June 30, a total of 1,041 planes from- foreign countries entered Alaska, ecarrying 3,781 passengers—a new all-time high mark for foreign air travel into the Territory. With aviation still in its infancy, so far as pub- lic use of the airways is concerned, we certainly expect an increase in the use of air travel each year, and records show that in the ten years records have been kept the incoming plane traffice from foreign countries, principally Canada, of course, has each year increased What makes the current report so gratifying is that it shows a greater increase in air travel dur- | ing the 1940 year than in any other previous year. When we note that the number of planes entering the Territory from foreign ports increased 63 per- cent over the year before, and that the number of passengers carried by those planes increased 58 percent, it must certainly be concluded that the air transportation business experiencing mushroom growth. We have seen no records on this air travel to indicate just what percent of the planes listed were privately owned and operated airships. congressional making the same ber of Deputies 1—an invitation Germany.

The very fact that he is a marked man in Argentina and dares not stay there is ample proof that South American govern- ments are on their guard. The Argentine Deputies, by exposing the whole ugly story of Nazi intrigue, bribery, sabotage, and military organization in Latin America, have set the t transformation.

The stars presage the influx of thousands of victims of terrible | war conditions. It seems to be/ written in the planets that attain- ment of world leadership brings with it immense responsibilities that cannot be avoided.

Our tolerance will continue to| arouse criticism, but in the future it will prove to the world the real quality of democratic statesman- ship. The Pacific will be the scene of naval activities which will mean defeat for ambitious hopes of Jap- anese domination in Asia. Persons whose birthdate it is will have a year of good fortune, darkened only by brief periods of domestic unhappiness.

This is a fortunate configuration for naval movements, also for aviation maneuvers in which the Allies are concerned. 5 HEART AND HOME: Mental balance is aided by the influences of the stars today.

It is lucky; for persons interested in highcr education and seems to promise real headway in the study of eco- nomics and political science.

A. Inflation is a decrease in the buying power of the dollar caused by a rising cost of living. This, in turn, is brought about by a heavy public demand, resulting from a rapid increase in the national income, for things which cannot be produced in large enough quantities. Every citizen can help minimize inflation by buying Defense Bonds and Stamps. Q. What can I do to help my son who has just entered military service? ment, | A.

Buy a Defense Savings Bond and help the Government to equip your son. the United States will realize that the first concern for the people is to prevent the victory of the Axis powers. It is preferable, the seers emphasize, for the nation to carry heavy financial burdens through the years instead of permitting the yoke of serfdom to be placed upon the necks of citizens of a democ- racy. NATIONAL ISSUES: In provid- ing for the coming winter persons of every degree of prosperity should avoid ajl unnecessary ex- penditures as they prepare to make the best of sacrifices that are in- evitable. National unity should be sought from the smallest hamliat to the greatest city. This is a time to be thankful for the bless- ings of democracy and unmindful of mistakes in the carrying out of details in the Government program for defense. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Thoughtful account of the fate of the Allies of Britain taken over by the Hitler forces will have special interest in' assuring victory and it is forecast that the United States must be- come the liberator. After next Jan- uary, at the beginning of 1942, de- cisive events will follow one an- other rapidly. The winter is to be a period of terrible conflict to which the weather will contribute great agonies. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of ad- vancement in financial matters Caution and restraint in business will be. determined and strongly ‘individual. They' should be splen- didly intelligent and capable of at- taining success. (Copyright, 1941) — o Subscribe for The 'Empire.
