ALASKA CIRCULATION ‘THAN NATIONAL apers, 1011 VALUABLE WEAPON One of the brighter spots in America’s hurriedly launched battle against the Axis is the tested per-| formance of the Boeing Flying Fortress, a plane that by well-known and feared by the enemy Although they the Fortresses have mortality in combat. Indeed, so effective have they been that ady have taken their place among the most potent aerial weapons of the war, and promise to occupy a place in the aeronautical shewcase of World War II alongside the Spitfire, the Stuka, the Mes- serschmitt, and other celebrated models. The Flying ing invulnerable as any aircraft can be—and this is In the early weeks of the bombers bore the brunt of our offensive operations. Their ability to withstand and fight off attack by fighter planes permitted them to survive at least for a while the heavy advantage gained by the Japs in their surprise assaults upon our air bases in Hawaii and the Phil- ippines. In the European war theater the Flying F‘or(res‘se\ have proved their mettle in similar fashion. Time and again they have bested flights of German fight- ers. In late summer operations, the Flying Fort- resses of the American Air Forces made nine straight sweeps of the German invasion coast, occupied Prance, and Western Germany before any losses were reported The Flying Fortress of today is a much improved craft. The early models, while they held much prom- ise had many weak spots. But as now constructed, the have few weaknesses.

And the drone of their four gines may well prove to be the Nazi requiem, en- Advertising in Wartime (New York Times) The statement of the Preasury’s views on adver- tising in wartime, which has been prepared in con- sultation with the Association of National Adver- tisers, will have a wholesome effect in clearing up doubts that have surrounded that question. It was drawn up following a conference in Washington wul\f the appropriate officials and has been issued with the approval of the Commissioner of Internal Reve- nue. The Treasury and the Bureau of Internal Revenue “fully appreciate the important part advertising plays in our natignal economy.” There is no intention to restrict “reasonable and normal advertising by di allowing it as a deductible expense.” Any advertiser who is in doubt whether his expenditures are de- tuctible for tax purposes may ask for an advance ruling to clear up the question. In general, it is stated, advertising will be considercd a legitimate de- duction for tax purposes, except when it is carried o an “unreasonable extent” or becomes “an obvious ittempt to avoid tax payments.” This policy will btain alike for companies engaged wholly, partly or not at all in Government contracts. It will apply equally to old companies converted to war or new companies created for war work. Perhaps even more significant than these general statements of principle, excellent as they are, is the | recognition set forth in the statement of the fact that war, so far from eliminating the need for ad- vertising, creates increased needs for it in many di- rections. The statement cites, for example, the need | for advertising to take the place of the direct work | f salesmen whose calls have been reduced by tire ind gasoline rationing and by other wartime factors. It cites the role of advetising in facilitating the flow of raw materials through salvage campaigns; the need to acquaint the public with new or alternative products provided to replace goods eliminated by war priorities; the part advertising can play in changing the buying habits of people and in helping to speed the war effort through messages addressed to workers. Of particular interest is the recognition by the Treasury that new companies which have come into being for the production of war materials 1ave a legitimate right to advertise, “so that when he war ends and they turn to peacetime production he public will be familiar with their names, and 1ence their plant investment may be protected.” This clarification of the Treasury’s position does not, of course, alter the strict rules adopted by the Army and Navy, which in many instances refuse to recognize advertising as a legitimate item of cost. But the statement should brush away the unhappy doubts and suspicions that have existed to the effect that important elements in the Government, funda- mentally hostile to advertising, wanted to use the war as a pretext for driving it out of business. If rected former blind spots and vulnerable points. The electrical and mechanical vitals of the huge craft such elements exist, they do not shape the policies of the Treasury.
