ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. NATIONAL REPR Alaska Newspapers, 1011 American Building, Seattle WHY ADV FRTBE" ‘We hear a lot of merchants these days ex- | pressing the opinion that there is no point in ad- | vertising. They base this conclusion on the fact that with | government agencies exercising their priorities for supplies of various sorts, and with shipping tied up s0 delivery of orders is almost impossible, there is Just nothing to advertise. National manufacturing concerns have the same complaint to lodge. Motor car companies, their pro- duction going into tanks, planes and other war equipment, are especially insistant that they have nothing to sell and therefore can't spend money advertising it. In many instances, this is merely a complaisant attitude taken by smiling industrial- ists who have an abundance of war orders locked in their safes—orders in many cases which it will} take them two years fo fill. For a different reason, this same attitude ex- tends to the groger and clothing store owner, the Jjeweler, butcher and liquor dealer, who finds him- self often these days with empty shelves which can not be immediately replenished because of transpor- tation tie-ups as govermment supplies in transit are| ) must leave undone nothing-ealowlated-to- ‘ cate customers whose needs they cabaqt adequately fill, to keep their company i 4 its products prominently before the publie, to explain all along why, because of tHeir patriotic work for national defense, they have been deprivéd of ;the materials and facilities necessary for properly filling non- defense demands of even their most cher- ished peacetime customers. “The costliest of ‘saving’ in the long run would be to curtail or stop institutional and product advertising, to dismiss salesmen and , thus cut down calls on customers clamoring ! for undeliverable goods.” r Censorship: !

Officials of these departments devote their timeJ to shooing reporters away from any fact that might linterest the public—and to inventing slap- happy‘ slogans and preparing releases about what the ! mess sergeant’s wife has for dinner. The public doesn’'t want that kind of twaddle. {It wants facts. The Record is proud to present these articles by Flynn as an example of what should be done to inform the public.

The House has been informed that joint Army- Navy plans have been worked out for censofship of international communications, without compulsory censorship of the press. That makes sense. Washington officialdom has been pretty success- ful in keeping the public dark about what’s going | on—but it hasn't done so well in keeping secrets | from the enemy. Recently a Government prosecutor, in ‘he case against a Nazi spy ring, revealed the German Government has had the “secret”Norden yombsight in its possession since 1938. The proposed censorship of outgoing communi- :ations—cables, radio, mail—would tend to stop ransmission of such information. We think we should have been more careful to see that information about genuine military “secrets, such as the bombsight, did not fall into the hands »f enemy agents in the first place. Thorough.inves- igation of those who had access to the plans—and horough surveillance of any workers who fell under suspicion—would have been a whole lot more ef- lective. If some of the brass hats spent as much energy railing enemy agents as they have in chasing re- sorters seeking legitimate news, spy rings ‘wouldn’t Je any problem, The joint Army-Navy" phmv “while~ not seeking compulsory censorship, makes no mention of giving he public the news.

Let the news flow naturally, and morale will take care of itself. given priority over civilian needs. Certainly, if these manufacturers and these merchants intend to stay in business after the defense boom has played itself out, it seems ‘only common sense that they would wish to keep up their advertising. Public figures who have retired into oblivion for a few years, then tried to make a come-back can testify that this American public is a fickle crowd. And the same applies to business. ¢The business house which fails to keep its name before the public soon finds that some enterprising competitor has seized this period of publicity laxness to steal away many customers. Seldom have we seen this question commented upon more aptly than in a recent statement by B C. Forbes, noted eastern business analyst, who called the present tendency to slack off on adver- tising a “pinhead philosophy.” Advertising is vital necessity now as never before to retain the good will of customers, Forbes pointed out. Following is a portion of his statement: “From now on, it is going to be more difficult than. ever before for corporations and other businesses to retain the goodwill of their customers. It is relatively easy to give satisfaction when all orders can be promptly filled. But many concerns will not + be able-in—the Yedtby” future to fill custo- mers’ requirements. This means a delicate problem, calling for the exercise of business statesmanship of the highest order. “Farsighted managements realize that they must put forth supreme efforts, all through these temporarily abnormal times, to build stmng foundations for the future, Lhat they Washlnglon o Merry- Go-Round (Continued from Page One) a | man Stephen Day of Tilinois, con-|duty, so Claude Wickard let them taining the speech he delivered in.
