REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 tle, Was CANADIAN WAR LOANS Our Canadian friends have made an impressive record in all phases of their all-out war effort— particularly in the hold-the-line program. An im- portant feature of their program has been the large volume of war bonds sold to individuals, with the consequent need to have only minor recourse for funds from the banking em. In its Sixth Victory Loan, inaugurated in April, the Canadians sold about $1,- 400,000 in bonds. Approximately 46 per cent of these sales were to individuals. Compare this with less than one-third sold to individuals in our last bond drive and with the objective of 37'4 per cent in the current The Canadian record is even more favorable 1se they exclude drive. than the above figures indicate b sales to “special names’—that is, to those buying in excess of $25000—from the total of sales to indi- viduals; such sales are inciuded in our totals. However we sell many more bonds under the payroll deduction | plan than do the Canadians. An interesting device used in Canada is the re- cruitment of a large sales staff to whom small com- le of bonds to individuals on a house-to-house basis. The basic commission is five-eighths of 1 per cent. These commissions are pooled in an equalization fund, so that a somewhat higher amount can be paid to those who sell in less lucrative territories while a relatively smaller amount is paid to those in the better territories commensurate with their effors. Partly as a result of this practice, sales to individuals in Canada (excluding sales to the special names) are estimated to have been 13 per cent missions are paid for the of their national income last year, while in this country the total was only 10 per cent, including the larger sales Liquid savings by individuals were estimated to equal about 25 per cent of our national income last year. 1If only half of this total had been invested in war bonds, we would have approximated the 13 per cent Tigure attained in Canada. Is it too much to ask that we invest at least our current savings in war bonds when our fighting men are giving their all so that those of us at home will have peace and secur Uruguay Carries On (New York Times) a news dispatch telling of the current political troubles of Argentina has a Montevideo dateline, as readers may have noted. The fact bears witness that the democratic spirit of little Uruguay is still dynamic and determined. The Uruguayans have had their share of the woes of the time. Their country has been harder hit than most in this hemisphere by the world depression and the war. They have seen some of their hopeful young institu- tions of liberty jeopardized. Yet they still have free- }dom to speak and to print, they defy all efforts of intriguing aliens to shake their faith in their chosen |way of life, and in consequence no censor sits in | their cable office, filtering the news.

Shattack, in which he describes at great length some of the points of the Council-Manager form of government. A great deal of interesting data by this letter which will, undoubt< edly, commence a great many peo- ple to thinking about this form of civic government. Getting people i to thinking about their civic gov- ernment is exactly what the Civie Forum was trying to do. Unfortunately, a typographical error in the letter published on July fourteenth from the Juneau Civic Forum caused Mr. Shattuck to write his letter. The addition of one single letter—the letter “t"—ig responsible for bringing out more facts about the Council-Manager plan of government than all th conversation hithertofore indulge in. Our letter should have read, “An engineer is highly trained for HIS work, banks are operated by trained personnel, an insurance man is familiar with all the phases of his work and so on ad infinitum.” In the printing, the additional “t” made the line read “An engineer is highly trained for THIS work,” ete., thereby changing the meaning of the sentence.
